== Timeline ==
The only real indicators of time placement in this story are that Fitz is still identifying as a [[human]] and [[Anji Kapoor|Anji]] is travelling with Fitz and the Doctor. Thus, one could place this story between any of a number of books.  The following placement therefore seems reasonable, if arbitrary:
* ''Fitz's Story'' occurs after: [[EDA]]: ''[[The City of the Dead]]''
* ''Fitz's Story'' occurs before: [[EDA]]: ''[[Grimm Reality]]''
