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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm up to the third one, in that I've read the first two and not the third. So I won't read it.

So much good stuff. Dana... never read Sandman, either, and didn't need it. Such good Buffy voice. And what you wrote was so immediate, so real and accessible. And true. It sounded true.
The piece of Mely's is, as we were discussing lately, in second person, which I've never liked.
It's perfect. And yes, teary-making.
Such good stuff.
