(I'm sure there is more Sandman fic out there, but I'm terrified to look for any of it.)
Oh, hell. Did you read Mely's incredible Sandman piece after the library destruction in Iraq? I was sobbing. Shit.
DANA!!! LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

(Jilli, did you ever get a chance to read my Rurouni Kenshin/Sandman crossover?)
No. Linky-link, please? Oh, and explain Rurouni Kenshin, 'cos I don't know who/what that is.
Did you read Mely's incredible Sandman piece after the library destruction in Iraq?
Yes. It made me teary.

mely's Sleep For Grief. Very teary-making.

Jilli, here. RK is an anime series set in 19th Century Japan. The character in the story (Enishi) is one of the series' main villains, the younger brother of the hero's late wife (accidentally killed by the hero when she rather stupidly tried to rush in to stop a sword fight). Enishi was rather fixated on his older sister and was bent on revenge. At the end of the series, someone gives him his sister's diary to prove that she really was in love with the hero, etc., etc.

Sleep for Grief was wonderful. There's a Sandman/HP crossover (The Language that God Speaks, IIRC) and a remix of the the fic that are both wonderful.
Gaiman's Death is a wonderful character, as are the rest of the Endless. It's also much fun to write them into other series, and....ohshit. plotbunny.

I actually found a Sandman/Hob slash piece. (That's his name, right? The guy he meets every hundred years.) It's by...Ellen Fremendon, I think, which is why I gave it a chance. It's an odd read, but certainly worth the time. Anyone interested in the link?

I wouldn't mind seeing the link. The only Sandman slash piece I remember reading was one that paired up Daniel!Dream with Rose Walker's son, IIRC. It was a beautifully done piece.

Yeah, Hob Gadling. That's the name. Spoilers herein for most of the Sandman series, up through...um...Brief Lives, I think. S.A., I don't know how far along you are, but you should definitely not spoil yourself.
