A Stitch in Time has been retroactively added to the relaunch line-up.

"#23 - (Marco Palmieri, 1999 trade paperback, 2003 mass-market paperback): A compilation of pre-finale stories involving each of the Dax hosts, framed by a conversation between Ezri Dax and Vic Fontaine. The framing narrative is set two weeks after the DS9 finale and three months prior to Avatar. The book was originally published as a standalone coda to the series, as the framing narrative contains no effect upon nor foreshadowing of the Relaunch plot; but the Relaunch canon retroactively added this book several years later, as the novels came to use some of Dax's stories here as a base for the storyline."
