So it's not like Morpheus/Daniel?
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Ita, I think you're getting a bit confused.
First off, when a second iteration of the Endless appears, they are no longer really what they were. "Daniel" is no longer Lyta Hall's son. He has ALWAYS been Dream. But he's notMorpheus. Morpheus is a facet of Dream that no longer exists.
Desire and Despair, the twins, seperated more or less as soon as the first living thing in the universe despaired and desired, which it evidently did at the same time, which makes sense to me.
The first Despair was killed just a few hundred years ago. But the currrent Despair is everything the previous Despair ever was, just a different facet of her.
Did that help?

Well, my question was "Did the Desire/Despair split provide the first and/or the second Despair?"
I knew the rest of the stuff in your post, but I still don't think I know the answer to my question.

Ah. The split provided the first Despair. The First Despair was only killed a few centuries ago.

One of my favorite Christmas presents was a gimongous coffee table book about the Marvel universe. It is written with much fanboy love. I had NO IDEA that Howard the Duck was a Marvel comic character!
Actual Jossverse content:
I bought Tales of the Vampires #1 this weekend. I liked it...the second Joss story (the last in the book) was good - it got lots of bonus points because of the LotR-related geekery, though.
UltimateDrew's Spike and Dru story had some really beautiful language but - for being such a HUGE part of the Spike/Dru story - (what happened in Prague right before they came to Sunnydale) it didn't really hold up for me.
