Oh, Jebus, Dana! Beautifully done, and that ending absolutely got me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Dana! DAYUM!
You realise, without having ever read the Sandman stuff, I didn't need it? This was Buffy, end of first season, confronting death, and it seriously kicked tail.
I had no, repeat, no problems whatsoever with the pacing. I thought you pretty well nailed Buffy's voice, too.
Also, I love the cookie.
Damn damn damn, that's a fun piece, with some lovely sharp edges to it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
"And hey," says Death, blazing as bright as the full moon. "I'll take good care of your mother. Don't worry about her."
Ohohohohohohoh....
Goosebumps.
Oh.
Death is my favorite character in that 'verse (natch), and I think you pretty well nailed her.

Dana, great job.
You not only nailed Buffy, you nailed Death of the Endless, damn you.
Freaking excellent.

And this...
"You still don't know who I am?"
"No idea."
"Huh," the girl says. "I don't usually get that. People just...know. I wonder if it's because of who you are."
Nice echo of the opening sequence of "The Gift".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nice Death!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, guys. (Feedback? Best thing ever.)
You realise, without having ever read the Sandman stuff, I didn't need it?
Yeah, I figured. It's not real dependent on the Sandman universe, Death being one of those Little Black Dress characters that goes with everything. Morpheus is actually my boy, but I'm pleased that I seem to have gotten Death right. Plus, I bet Morpheus is harder to write.
Cool. Now if I can just find time today to get it posted to the lists...

For some reason, despite the physical description (brunette, etc), I kept seeing your Death as Azura Skye's character - I think it was Azura Sky. Cassie?
Or, rather, not so much the character, but that voice and intonation.

A nice collection of Death images.
And, of course, a classic, Death and Dream feeding the pigeons.
Edit: Whoops, looks like no direct linking allowed. Death and Dream is the first picture on the third row.
