That was incredible. And heartbreaking. And very disturbing.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I have a total love of all things Sandman, especially when well executed. Sandman/NewTrek [link]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Sail, the Spocks killed me. Oh, my heart.

I'm actually tearing up. I'm at work, having just read this, and - wow.
I'm so sharing this with people.
Jilli, if you haven't read it, READ IT NOW.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Why haven't I written a Firefly/Sandman crossover? That seems perverse of me. Must rectify.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The Trek/Sandman is really, truly lovely. I'm a little sad that it was multi-part commentfic in the kink comm, because there's absolutely no way on earth I would've stumbled across it by accident -- I hope she posts the whole thing in her LJ, which would make for easier reading and linkistry.

They're posting all the filled requests to a delicious account, amych. That's the only way I would have found any of these cool fics lately. That, and being unemployed, I have the frakking time to scan through all 1800+ posts.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sail, do you want recs for other Sandman crossovers?

Yeah, I know about the delicious account -- my issues are (a) hugeness and very very mixedness (even if sometimes awesomeness) of st_xi_kink compared to my tiny tiny free time and (b) commentfic in itself, no matter how well indexed on a separate site, given LJ's tight limits on comment length and the general craptitude of navigating comment threads.
Commentfic is a completely charming and lovely thing when it pops up seemingly out of nowhere in response to a half-finished thought or musing in your journal. As an archiving strategy, it's pants.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
