  1. Summary

    Egypt 1798. The French Armée d’Orient has arrived in Egypt, much to the locals’ bemusement. What starts as a triumphant conquest of a city devolves into a diplomatic disaster with disappearing generals, friendly fire, mutinies, experimental hash dens, and the sinking (no pun intended) feeling that “Bring your own fleet” was not a polite suggestion. A series of unfortunate events told through seven stories involving letters, reports, and lots of cursing.

    No crocodiles were punched.

    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 Contains obvious spoilers from the novel, as well as some outdated terminology in keeping with the book/our Victorian hero].

    Summary

    The year was 1832 and three officers - though the witness would say that there were at least eight - found their way into a local patisserie down in Tacubaya and managed to swipe a few tea cakes while the owner wasn’t present. Coupled with the other cases of looting and crime, Mexico was faced with a (totally unreasonable) debt along with the pressure of balancing liberal and conservative factions in her country.

    And France is not one to forget debts.

    [the Franco-Mexican wars described from the perspective of Mexico.]

    Summary

    Alternate Universe/History - Napoleon has been exiled to a small town near the boarder of Wales with a small court of the loyal few who followed him out of France.

    In a (possibly reckless) attempt to change fate, Napoleon accepts a rather questionable deal with the dead: if he joins the ranks of mazzeri, or Corsican dream hunters, he will be granted the opportunity to return to France. Meanwhile, a child goes missing in the village, the godson of the Duke of Wellington, prompting the Prince of Waterloo to come to Linwood in an attempt to provide whatever help he can to his friends.

    But, not all is what it seems as events spiral out of control bringing disappearances, magic and fairies with ominous intentions for all.
