The General Star Trek Reading List contains several stories from the Star Trek Lit-verse that do not easily fall into a larger series title. This includes the major Lit-verse stories of President Bacco, the USS Aventine, the Department of Temporal Investigations, and the USS Prometheus.  

In addition to these main storylines, several additional stories are connected due to various references in other books, or to other books. These references are mentioned in the notes.

Five short stories are also connected, two from Enterprise Logs (which shares references among several connected novels), two from Deep Space Nine: The Lives of Dax (which ties into the Deep Space Nine Post-Finale Series), and one from Tales of the Dominion War (which ties into four Lit-verse series.) Various references in parts of the anthology New Worlds, New Civilizations, Star Trek #400, and Star Trek #500 connect stories from those works. 

Dark blue denotes the stories most important to the rest of the Lit-verse: the main storylines of Bacco, the Aventine, the DTI, and the Prometheus. Light blue denotes the expanded storyline. Read these for other works closely connected to the Lit-verse which don't fit on any other reading list. The white denotes every other connected story, regardless of continuity, not listed elsewhere on the site.

Hover for notes. As always, not every reference to every other story is mentioned, just the one I chose as most important to show the expanding Lit-verse web.
