A story was taken from each of the major periods of their relationship's life — spring, summer, autumn and winter — to indicate how it matured.

The theme of the compilation, as suggested by the title, was the passage of time — specifically the time of the relationship between Nyssa and the Doctor. A story was taken from each of the major periods of their relationship's life — spring, summer, autumn and winter — to indicate how it matured. Each story was also of a different genre — adventure with aliens on a distant planet, celebrity historical, character piece, and high-concept fanwank.
