The story didn't TRY to sound good or eloquent or amazing, but it just succeeded in doing much, much more :) Really neat job you did with this <3<3

Adding the moments of American Gods to the tasks of each Endless was a genius touch ;3 By the way though, was that Dream Morpheus or Daniel? I was thinking Daniel since Morpheus isn't that cheerful, but just checking :0

Okay, I thought this was a great fan fiction up until I read the quote from American Gods that you put there at the end and I remember that was part of the book. After that point, instead of thinking this was a great fan ficiton, I thought, "HOLY **!" and bumped that 'great' to an 'awesome'! I loved the concept, I loved the writing, I loved the way Delirium was in character, and I LOVED the tie-in and that you thought of Delirium when reading that part. This story was totally and utterly awesome I really hope you write more.

ooh, awesome fanfic. favourited. :D
...comment time.

1. eh, i have to admit that at first, i thought the dollar was mad sweeney's coin or zorya (the night one)'s silver liberty dollar... heh.

2. i never noticed how well the "buy dog food" part in /american gods/ fit so well with del and barnabas! ...wow. wait, it was del. deliberately, it seems...

3. it's lucien, not lucian. little mistake, but just thought i'd point that out.

4. dream has pale hair? since...when...? 0_o (mind, i've only read until about half of fables&reflections, so i'm not sure if you're taling about the second dream or what.)

5. bast: oh geez. you should write a sequel about this dream dream gave her... 0_o

6. i really like the ending... i mean, how you conclude the fic with the quote from /american gods/.

nice work-- 9.5/10; very nice spinning of this tale...

--err

Hahaha. Very nice piece of work. Good job.

That would so cool if was actually in the book.

That's just what I thought of, when I read that part of the book. I was hoping someone would run with it.
I was also very amused at the image of Daniel drinking a glass of milk.

I love the way you've written this, and you've captured Delirium's slightly off mind quite well.

The only gripe I have might be the timeline being wrong, if I remember correctly. When Destruction gave Barnabas to Delirium, it was in the Brief Lives issue, where, he reiterated to Del and Dream that he didn't want to be found by any of his family.

So I'm not sure how it could be that Del could approach Destruction in a desert, because he made sure he couldn't be found.

Some truly inspired lines here. And there. I liked the cross as well. As I read further, Delirium seemed more real to me than any of the other characters. And Desire. And maybe Despair and Death. Dream, however, seemed a bit to forced. And Destruction, well, that's hard to say.

Maybe a few words from our favorite Son?

Was the last part in italics an original part of the American Gods book?

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. you captured the style the syntax everything that makes the sandman comics what they are. I truly couldn't tell the difference between this and the published works. I look forward to reading other publications along the same vein.
