Making Dinner: Grilled Chicken Salad by ImNonPartisan

Summary
This is a one-shot, a missing scene from the story about How We Love Who We Love. Our escaped expat Graham Gore is settled with his Bridge in British Columbia, they have a happy married life with three children. But, Graham has cancer and he is going to die of it. As he and his wife come to terms of their unusual life story, thrown together with the intention that they will love one another, she begins to tell him a fictional story. So meta.
This is a missing scene from that story, where the Lieutenant tells the Translator how he feels, and they make a nice meal for themselves together. It has reflections from their past life, but here we are just going to enjoy this time they have together.
This can be read after Chapter 2 of How We Love Who We Love.

Summary
In my original story, Arthur John Gore lives a long life in the original timeline of The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. At the end, the future sends him as a Time Traveller to the past in order to try to save the world from ecological disaster. There he meets the one successful set of the duplicates of his own parents, the Admiral and Adela.
A Ghost Story brings together two characters who do not meet in the original book. They are Graham's Bridge and Adela's husband, the first Graham pulled from the ice. Do they have anything to share with each other? Arthur Gore, a man much older than them both has become a dear friend. He enjoys sharing the happy family life that Graham and Little Cat have created. They live in British Columbia. And yet, they are aging, and what happens to duplicates when they die? In the course of coming to terms with this, Mrs. Gore begins telling her husband a story. In this story there is no time machine, they are unique human beings who meet each other while at work in the Ministry. This story begins in the second chapter.
There is a horror aspect to these stories, because what happened to those failed duplicates that didn't work out at the Ministry of Time.

What the Future Holds for Arthur Gore by ImNonPartisan

Summary
When the Time Machine is damaged and Adela Gore becomes a bucket of stars, what happens to the future that constructed the Time Machine? What happens to the first Graham Gore pulled from the past? What happens to their son, Arthur John Gore after his mother never returns from the past?
This story tells the story of Arthur, his wife, his father, his work, and how he becomes the person who returns to the past to try to prevent a dystopia future. Fair warning there are sad chapters in this story. I will tag them as sad. There are happy chapters, too.

Summary
Just a little missing moments one-shot - the night Graham loses his tooth. I thought there was so much to explore in their early interactions, especially those scenes where Graham is beautifully Victorian and his bridge doesn't know what to do.

The Expat (Graham's version) by Ruststardust
Fandoms: The Ministry of Time - Kaliane Bradley
09 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Commander Graham Gore is snatched from his doomed Arctic expedition in 1847, his captors present-day government agents taking him through time to the 21st century where he is expected to assimilate—and survive. They have assigned him to live with an unmarried woman who is to be his “bridge”. They have dubbed him expat "1847".
As he adapts to his new world, Gore soon discovers that not all is what it seems with the time travel “project”, and that there is no handbook on how to deal with falling in love with a woman born 145 years into the future…
[This fic follows the events from The Ministry of Time written from Graham’s POV with added scenes I’ve expanded on from the Narrator’s mentions, or taken some creative liberties with. Contains obvious spoilers from the novel, as well as some outdated terminology in keeping with the book/our Victorian hero].

Graham Takes a Turn Explaining by ImNonPartisan
Fandoms: The Ministry of Time - Kaliane Bradley
06 Feb 2025

Summary
Graham and Little Cat now live in a small apartment as they are making decisions about their future as a married couple. They have not quite been brave enough to discuss weddings or if they want to live in the San Juan Islandss or Victoria B.C. And, they are 150 years apart in world history and culture and so need to explore just what one means by marriage. Graham's stories of naval life is a complete fiction, it's not based upon anything historical, except I have read a lot of Patrick O'Brian and remember that women were aboard ships constantly.
I threw in a little home life for them which includes a musical instrument for each.

Summary
This is a work of Fan Fiction inspired by The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley The author of this book invented and owns the characters and the plot.
The book ends with a cliff hanger and when wondering what would come next in the story, I indulged myself in typing out a scene, and ended up typing up a whole story. This story only makes sense if you have read The Ministry of Time, I have not over-explained plot points.
The Narrator of the original story is un-named. She is called “my bridge” and "Little Cat" by Graham Gore. She is an employee of the Ministry of Defence who was recruited into the Time Travel division. Her profession is translation of Asian languages. In this story she may seem passive, and rightly so. She believes she may have been complicit in a war crime. She has trauma having witnessed at least three violent deaths. She has every reason to be reactive, cautious and wary.
