Knife Edge

A/N: for the alias100 challenge, "Life or Death." Spoilers: S3, through "Full Disclosure"


Life or death.

A binary opposition that had always seemed so black and white before everything changed. One or the other, take your pick. No other choices but the two, no other possibilities. Yes or no. Right or wrong. Here or there. Good or evil. Love or hate. Existence or absence.

But now Sydney has walked the fine line between realities, realizing that there is so much more between living and ending. Realizing that there are shades of gray. Realizing that existing on that knife edge between two states is utterly possible. Realizing her place between the lines.

Realizing Julia.
