Thoughts:

I liked the idea behind this a lot (two time-traveling and reality shifting operatives for rival organizations try to one up each other and in the process fall in love) but the writing was not my line. I got lost sometimes but liked the plot when I understood what is going on. If you like people professing their love in overwrought sentences, this is for you.
