Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time John hadn't needed to fly an armed jumper into a hiveship.

Once upon a time Rodney hadn't squeezed his eyes shut, unable to watch the blip representing Carson was sickeningly cut short too.

Once upon a time Rodney hadn't gone after them, following his two best friends into the heart of a wraith hiveship.

Once upon a time Elizabeth hadn't watched the gate shut down, before calmly activating the self-destruct herself.

Once upon a time the Daedalus had arrived on time and Atlantis had survived.

Once upon a times were for fairytales and television.

That was real life.
