I've never read Sandman, but this fic makes me want to, kind of desperately.

I very much enjoyed the look at Death's conflicts which are outside of Dean's. I re-read the original before reading this, and there's so much Dean can't know, about what Death is doing and why. I really empathized with Death here, with her almost desperation, her wish to get revenge but not to ruin the fabric of the space-time continuum, the way she reflects that she could kill Desire but it would move the world, and so she won't.

Yay, fic!
