A/N: So, I own nothing, but have something quick, short and Sparky that I wrote for Tumblr? I'm not really sure what this is supposed to imply - you want it to be about replicators? Go ahead. AU?

In her head, the floor of the Daedalus was the same colour as her shirt.

In her head, he told her to sleep because he'd bring her breakfast in bed. And five am was the wrong time to think about your own death.

In her head, her brain cells lied.

Because, in her head, that was where the dream of him died.
