And Today, You was a novella written by James Wylder and published on 17 October 2023 on the the occasion of Arcbeatle Press's 10th anniversary. It acted as a crossover between the main three print franchises whose licenses were held by Arcbeatle by that point: Cwej: The Series, 10,000 Dawns and WARSONG.
In addition to elements associated with Cwej: The Series, it featured several characters and species from other Doctor Who media. Most notably, the plot hinged on the return of Sixth Doctor companion Grant Markham and on an attempted metafictional reboot of Professor X. Other individually-licensed DWU elements included in the narrative to greater and lesser degrees were Coloth, the Quoth, the Selachians, the Caradans, the Yssgaroth, and finally Faction Paradox's Auteur, Sergeant-Instructor Littlejohn and Dionus.
In addition to this, it featured elements from The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

Notes
- As this novel was an anniversary release, the ebook was completely free while the paperback was kept at a low price.[1]
- It was typeset using a template provided by Eruditorum Press.
- The title comes from the short story The Dandelion Girl, which is referenced several times in the story. The line in the story that is repeated several times is "Day before yesterday, I saw a rabbit, and yesterday a deer, and today, you". Two days before the release of the novel, Arcbeatle Press tweeted "Yesterday, I saw a rabbit" [2]. The day before the release of the novel, they tweeted "Day before yesterday, I saw a deer". [3]
