AUTHOR'S NOTES: For Kat and Becca as always :) also for Linz (will you
please stop chasing me with that fic whip?!!)
Cassandra in Ancient Greece lived a tragic life.
Apollo fell in love with her and gave her the gift of
prophecy, but when she refused to marry him, he
scorned her and cursed her so that no one would ever
believe anything she foretold. What pain she must
have endured, knowing the people around her, her
friends and family, would be doomed and yet there was
nothing she could do about it.
I feel like her sometimes. Perhaps it's because I'm
an outsider, or because I am young, or not stupid
enough to believe that rules and regs are the be-all
and end-all of the world. Or perhaps it's because no
matter how many times they save the world, they've
never come close enough to losing everything to see
how important a little happiness is. Perhaps it's
because I have lost it all that I do know.
I'm not proposing they give up everything just to be
together. They never would. They are selfless
people, good people, who will forever put the world
and the lives of others before themselves, before
their happiness. That's who they are and I wouldn't
change them for anything. But I do want them to be
happy; they deserve it.
So I feel like ancient Cassandra. I watch them and see
how much pain they are in and I know exactly how to
fix it. They would be so much better together.
Happier and stronger united.
Maybe it's because of everything I've been through but
I just can't imagine how being loved and being happy
could ever be bad. It doesn't inevitably mean that
everything else stops, it doesn't mean everything is
ruined. Instead it has the potential of making
everything so much better.
They are afraid of feeling too much, of not putting
everyone else first. So Teal'c sends his family away,
Daniel dwells in mourning alone, Janet works herself
too hard, and Sam and Jack leave it in the room. When
does the world put them first, though? When is it
their turn to breathe, to smile, to feel? If they
keep giving everything, without getting anything in
return, soon they'll have nothing left to give. And
then we will all be lost.
So I ask you, who will save the saviors? I cannot,
for I'm Cassandra, and though I see the future, I can
do nothing to stop it.
