Tea and Meetings is an extra of 15,000 words.
It involves events from Isembard and Thesan's life before and after the events of Eclipse. I recommend reading the book first, though there are no direct spoilers for the plot other than references to the success of the romantic aspects of that book in the last two scenes.
The episodes run from the summer of 1904 through to May of 1926.
