Fixing a Hole was the sixteenth short story in the Short Trips anthology Short Trips: Past Tense. It was written by Samantha Baker. It featured the Sixth Doctor and Tegan Jovanka. A sequel to the televised segment A Fix with Sontarans, this story featured a serious epilogue to the otherwise camp fourth-wall breaking special, as Tegan and the Doctor once again prepare to part ways.
The title Fixing a Hole can be seen as both an in-universe reference to the emotional gap in-between the Doctor and Tegan following her final television story and as a real-world reference to the narrative gap between A Fix with Sontarans and following stories which do not feature Tegan and the Sixth Doctor travelling together.
Summary

Characters
References
- The Doctor wears the same clue cloak seen in TV: Revelation of the Daleks.
- Tegan references deciding to leave in TV: Resurrection of the Daleks.
- When Tegan complains that she had just moved on when the Doctor walked back into her life, the Doctor notes that for him it was just the opposite. "'I'd moved on too, Tegan. I accepted your decision to leave, though I didn't want you to. And then you come back into my life."
- Tegan recalls how she had been pulled back into the Doctor's life; an adventure which involved Sontarans invading the TARDIS and someone named Gareth Jenkins belittling the Doctor. Tegan notes that, for a third time, she is trapped travelling with the Doctor with no indication of when their adventures will end.
- Tegan is used to the concept of regeneration, having joined the TARDIS shortly after the birth of the Fifth Doctor. Tegan notes that during each adventure, it was a constant worry that she never knew how common regeneration was or what the Doctor would look like the next day.
- After returning to Earth, Tegan had trouble connecting with old friends and eventually found it hard to keep a job. She eventually managed to regain her old position as an air hostess.
