In one short story, Isaac Asimov described an FTL drive that had a time travel component to offset dilation. An interesting side effect was that when it was calibrated properly, you felt no acceleration or deceleration; this was involved in the punch line of the story.

And since Isaac Asimov did it in a short story, it means that he did it succinctly and intelligently, as opposed to writing in three dozen rape fantasies and really bad science wrapped in eight hundred pages of drivel.
