    Ah Geez. Still, at least I can safely say that only the first angels one was scary for me.

    If you can stand through until towards the end, Perfect Lionhearts' 'Partially Kissed Hero' (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4240771/1/Partially_Kissed_Hero) sort of covers this with dryads.

    However, there are major points of suck (as well as clever) beforehand. I wasn't bored reading it, but neither was I hugely excited.


    But yeah, as time travel isn't something the majority of the population has experience with (like magic), we can make up our own rules. Riley Poole is right - Because Dinosaurs.

    I started reading that, but after about 5 paragraphs, I got bored...

    Oh I know, it really is a difficult thing to read. If you look for the thread on it (trash binned I think), you'll see the hate this fic spawns. But the concept of the time travel is reasonably clever, albeit sociopathically done.

    Sociopathically done. I like that. I wouldn't say that it is a difficult thing to read though, in the sense that it is confusing and dense, more the fact that it is boring as hell, and just a rather appalling fic.

    "Too much condescending for one fic to handle" is the most apt description for it I've ever found.

    Well said indeed.
