Divergence - Chrono Trigger
Characters/Pairings: Lucca, Marle, Frog
Warnings: None
Summary: When Lucca goes back in time to save a town destroyed by the forest Robo planted, all their hard work is undone, as Crono has now never been born.
Comments: This is an excellent, excellent fic. It deals wonderfully with ideas that Chrono Trigger presented, but frustratingly never explored. (And if they did in Chrono Cross, I don’t know about it because I never finished playing it). The Entity is explored a little, and the paradoxes of time travel are explored in depth. And also, the characterizations are well-done. A lot of my problem with most video game fanfics, is that much of the time characters are left flat (note: I pretty much quit playing videogames about the time PS2 came out, so that complaint, from what I’ve seen, may not still be valid). I still have internal debates over whether the fleshing out of the characters is done realistically, but the author made them fun to read about, and I can see traits that were a part of their characterization within the game.
Multi-chapter, incomplete. (And last updated a year and a half ago. *sigh*)
