I love very much the idea, especially all the conversation between Crowley and Dream.

And at some times I was laughing a lot, like "it would probably be really disappointing for Roderick, going down to Hell when this was all over, and discovering that, nope, it's still Morris, sonny jim." or "Was it Charon? He'll be bloody annoyed when you let him go; the line for that ferry of his-" or "he’d been more interested in how to get any era’s equivalent of a decent tequila, to be honest"... A lot of them.

And the ending, between Aziraphale and Crowley, was very cute !

I'm not sure Aziraphale would have been stupid enough to give the feather - but it's the basis of the story, after all... the orther part which seems strange to me is Morpheus refusing to be released when, if we refer to the comic, all that Crowley had to do for this is take a good nap, and it's the way Morpheus finally did.

Very good fic overall !

Ok so I'm afraid I won't be /that/ constructive because, well, I really loved this fic. The idea of a Sandman-Good Omens Xover had already crossed my mind, but I wouldn't have been able to write such a long text...

And the idea of the feather being Aziraphale's... That's great X3

This is, quite frankly, probably the best Sandman/Good Omens crossover that I've read. I remember reading Sleep of the Just and wondering at the time exactly how Burgess had pulled a feather from an angel's wing. I also remember wondering how he'd stolen a song from the dirt, but that's a different story altogether. Having read Sandman and Good Omens so many years apart, I have to admit that I would never have put the two together like this. You did so very nicely. In fact, after I read your story, I went back to read Sandman #4, A Hope In Hell, trying to spot a Crowley-like figure somewhere in one of the panels after Lucifer had summoned the million demons to them. No such luck.

I loved the bit about Crowley just not being built for proper lurking. He's just got too much flash to do it properly, right?

You do ask for constructive criticism at the end of your story, and I hope I can offer some without it coming off as a flame or anything. I did enjoy your story, make no mistake about that. But I would advise you to look again at your timelines, because there's an inconsistency that can really disrupt the flow of the story. You correctly state, for the benefit of those who haven't read Sandman, that the events were centered around Morpheus's capture in 1916. But as I continued to read, I saw mentions of television, computers, cassettes, Josie and the Pussycats, and Crowley's 1926 Bentley. None of those would have existed in 1916, and it's a bit jarring to see references to them. That's not to say that Crowley wouldn't have owned a car in 1916, quite the contrary. He undoubtedly would have been one of the first automobile owners and is probably single-handedly responsible for the phrase, 'speed demon.' So at the point of your story, he may have been driving, for example, a 1914 Ford Model A - unfortunately without even so much as a radio at that point in history - that he trades in a few years later when he falls in love with the Bentley. And rather than TV or computer images flickering when Crowley yells, it would have been the silent motion pictures playing at the cinematograph. Please take these as suggestions only, I am not trying to be harsh or rudely over-critical. I'm hopefully offering ideas that might help make a good story even better.

Thank you again for writing such an enjoyable crossover.

I was very much pleased and surprised to see you writing fo this fandom; I only know you from writing FFVII fictions. However, you seemed to have fit it really well. It makes me glad for a lovely author to be writing for GO.

Your characterisations seem to be well on track, especially with Crowley. The footnotes were a nice touch, I thought. Thank you for your writing.

Ah.

Interesting. I got that childd which comes only from a reading a Very Good Story - everyone was in character, and I devoured each line.

Do you intend to write a sequel in which they deal with what happens when Dream is released? Or killed? I would image Lord Morpheus would be (sort of) grateful to Crowley, for his attempt to get him out of there.

Wonder how he'd react to 'Zira, though...
