Ficlet: Endless Restless (Buffy/Sandman)

[beer_good_foamy]

OK, here's a silly little double drabble. A Buffy/Sandman crossover taking place at the end of "Restless". It's also an experiment in dialogue-only fic. I'm sure there are more serious Buffy/Sandman crossovers out there, there's certainly some interesting themes to explore (recs are welcome), but for now I'll settle for poking some gentle fun at Dream.

Endless Restless

"Hey there, little brother. Fancy meeting you in Sunnydale."

"Oh, it's you. I could say the same, but..."

"Yeah, I come here a lot."

"Obviously. Nice to see you again, sister. Oh, is that the time. If you'll excuse me -"

"Oh no. You're not going anywhere until I find out what's with the get-up."

"...What 'get-up'?""

"Don't be silly. Look at yourself."

"I... I take on many guises. You know that. Depending on who sees me."

"Sure, you change your skin colour, your species, whatever. But... cheese? And that suit? What kind of weird dreams do they have in this town, anyway?"

"Dreams have power, older sister."

"I know, without dreams mankind wouldn't blah blah blah. Sorry. But I still want to know why you've covered yourself in cheese slices."

"Um... Powerful events take place here. I couldn't even begin to unravel -"

"You're telling me? I collected this guy earlier who was pieced together from demon parts. That's weird even for this town. But not as weird as... well?"

"..."

"You're not going to tell me, huh?"

"Um... Dreams are..."

"Oh fine, be like that. You'll tell me eventually. Take care, brother."

"Farewell, sister."



"...I really like cheese."
