Ok, so normally I don't touch x-overs with a ten-foot pole, but Sandman seems to naturally lend itself to the possibility, so I figured, "What the heck?"

I'm very glad I did. This is an extraordinary one-shot you have here, especially the end.

And a little spark of Hope planted can keep a man going for so long-
Beautiful vignette, and a seamless crossover :)

I love Sandman a lot. Then you write this awesome, awesome cross over. You rock.
