Brief summary: Sometime after her travels with the Fifth Doctor ended, Erimem arrives at a mysterious art gallery and receives an intriguing job offer.

Brief summary: Kamelion is a character who is rarely used in fanfic. And when he does appear, he's often poorly utilized. This fic, then, is a pleasant surprise.
