Tides: A Detective Gore Story by ImNonPartisan
Fandoms: The Ministry of Time - Kaliane Bradley
27 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
This detective story, a mystery, is also posted as Chapter 18 in "A Romance for the Diplomat for the Future." I wanted to be able to tag it for its genre without expecting readers to wait until Chap. 18 to find it. Arthur John Gore is the son of Adela and First Graham, canon characters in the novel The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. The stories about Arthur are post-canon. He has used the time machine in the novel to go one hundred years in the past to beg for the future, now suffering from climate change. He is known as the "Diplomat" by the people who assist him in this task. He is about 72 years old in this story. It is the present day.
The name that Arthur Gore uses in the past is Arthur Lewis. Going through the time machine has given him a duality. But, we don't see much of "Captain Gore" in this story. Arthur marries into a large Persian family. His wife is Pari Rahmani and she is a widow. Her husband died in a mysterious car accident and deep inside Arthur is a police detective who believes that there is a mystery to be solved. There are many original characters in this story. If the cast becomes confusing, please ask a question in the comments.

The First Traveller who Lived to Tell the Tale by ImNonPartisan

Summary
In the book, The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley, we meet Graham Gore, an Arctic explorer and Navy Lieutenant Commander, pulled off the ice by a time machine, and his "bridge" the un-named narrator of the story. Also, there is Adela, a Vice-Secretary of the Ministry of Time and slowly there is a creeping realization who she really is. At the end of the story she lets it be known that she is married to the very first Graham Gore who was taken off the ice, and that they have a son. A few other hints have been laid about Adela as the first bridge and her husband being the first Graham and it is so tempting to explore their story, which would be completely different than the one told about the two main characters in the book. So, four chapters. The first is Graham waking up in the Wards. The second is about their first time making love with each other, The third will be about how he negotiated their future, and the fourth how the two of them will walk into that future, together.

Jeanette Has a Shower in her New Home by ImNonPartisan
Fandoms: The Ministry of Time - Kaliane Bradley

Summary
Inspired by the recent Christmas story for the expats in The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley, I thought that Jeanette could remember a happy Christmas with Arthur Gore as her friend. Adela is dead and she has been for some time. Arthur has recovered from his war injury and lives with his father, whom we could call Graham Sr., the first Graham who was pulled from the ice. Adela's parents are also gone now, but not the close friendship that formed with the family that lived across the street. Jeanette married Roger, a firefighter. They have little boys. This family knew Adela and were generous and kind when she was pronounced "missing in action and presumed dead." Arthur and Graham can feel comfortable around them, and so have kept this relationship precious.
The event in this story takes place in the middle of Chapter 5 of "What the Future Holds for Arthur Gore." It is the first morning she spends in her new home with her husband and father-in-law.

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.
