The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Fay, I don't have time to do a machete-level beta, but on a quick read-through, nothing jumped out at me as needing fixing. I love the throwaway line about Destruction becoming Change--it makes sense given Sandman canon, but it was never spelled out, correct?

I love the way you portray the new Dream. The line about the Einstein hair was perfect.

Love one another.

Death watches her curiously.

You want 'Dream watches her ...' here, I think.

“You mean a tip,” she says, smiling.

A 'tip' in British English is a 'dump' in American English, I believe? Death speaks more in a more American style, generally, for all that Mr Gaiman is British, so far as I know. Perhaps this is Brit-picking in reverse, but it jumps out at me.

It's lovely, Fay. I eagerly look forward to more of it.

Up with the sun

FWIW, erika, in S4 Claire does have a lesbian flirtation. She doesn't get into the sex aspect of it, which kills the relationship, but I can believe it would be different with Faith.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Good calls, both. Cheers!

Erika, you so should. Have you read The Doll's House yet? With the Serial Killer Convention? 'Cause I think you'll like it.

No, I haven't Fay. LJ, seems to me I read that somewhere...maybe it planted the Seed of Porn.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

“Sister? I am standing in my gallery, and I hold your sigil in your hand. Will you see me?”

This should be "my hand".

That's really lovely Fay.

Deena! May I ask you for a solid? May I please request an icon of the Shrub looking blank with the caption "Crime makes you stupid."? Ranking on the Man and Pembleton quotes. Best.Stuff. Ever.
