The Best of All Possible Worlds (Stargate Atlantis)

TITLE: The Best of All Possible Worlds
FANDOM: Stargate Atlantis
LENGTH/RATING: 100 words, PG
WARNINGS/SPOILERS: None
SUMMARY: Leibniz by way of Voltaire, I blame college for corrupting my brain. *solemn nod*


For every time Atlantis survived the rising, there were a hundred universes where she didn't. A hundred empty rooms on the other side of the quantum mirror that wasn’t; an Ancient looking glass into the myriad might-have-beens. But the rooms weren't always empty and more often than not there was another John there, haggard and lean, staring back into that same window of possibilities. He chatted with them some nights, passing back and forth stories that had never happened, but in the end they’d always say their goodbyes and move on, restlessly searching for the city where he wasn't alone.

Whoo... kinda scary! That's the sort of thing that makes scientists go mad, thinking about all the possible worlds out there. Kind of reminded me of The Prestige, where Hugh Jackman's character said he never knew which one he would be after the 'trick': the one in the tank, or the one in the balcony. *shiver*

Nicely done!
I'm glad you liked it! ^_^ I actually haven't seen Prestige, but from that quote, now I want to! *grin*
Go rent it. Now. Seriously. Bale and Jackman. OMG. O_O

^_^
Whoa-this packed a powerful punch. Both sad and thinky.
I'm glad you liked it! ^_^
Ouch. You know just where to hit people, don't you?
It's not my fault they gave me a 'verse with so much dark potential... ^_~ *whistles not-so-innocently*

Glad you liked it! ^_^
owwwwwwwwwww! Poor John!
For some reason my Muses tend to pick on Rodney, but this time John got the brunt of it. *winces* Poor fictives. ^_^;;

Glad you liked it!
Too bad John didn't have Rodney to keep him company.


got any SGA fic recs? got any more written of your original magic & science fantasy?
I've got a bunch of untagged snippits up back in late 2005, early 2006, but no real fic recs up as of yet. [info]stargateficrec is where I get most of my recs for SGA, I really like the constant influx of recs from the rotating cast of rec'ers. ^_^
