2 'Endless' drabbles covering Challenge #2/#19/and a perhaps even #17?
The first one covers #2 (ghosts), #19 (crossover), and kind-of #17 (myth) even maybe? Ever since I had my professor discuss the Sandman novels in our Folklore & Fairytale class last semester I almost considered it a kind of myth or fable.
The second one only covers #19. Delirium rocks and if her older sister and brother/sister got to be in a drabble, she had to be in one too.
Endless belong to Neil Gaiman. Saiyuki ppl to Kazuya Minekura
Title: Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better

Characters: Desire, Despair, Gojyo
Words: 100
Rating: PG
A/N: I got the inspiration from a Gaiman editted anthology of stories about the characters. In one Desire makes a bet with a prince that desire is stronger than love. Which begs the question, is desire stronger than despair?
The twins of the family were competing to see which possessed greater power. They chose a child with hair of red and branded him with twin scars.
"Watch." Despair said. They peered through her mirrors as the mother tried to kill the child, the brother killed the mother, and left.
"Ah! You have just assured my victory sister!" Desire laughed. "He'll seek love from women to gain what she couldn't give."
"Patience."
Years passed. The child became the man Desire said he would.
"See?"
Despair smirked and pointed behind the man with her hooked ring at a hazy figure. "Its only because she's watching him."

A/N: The messed up typing is intentional, it's how she talks in all the Sandman issues.
"Do you like bunnies?"
"yES Mr. DocTor, bUT fishIeS aRe BEtter tHOugH. BiG SiSter Has FiSHiEs bUt my BrOThER hAS a FAerIe."
To emphasize her point the girl with changing, rainbow hair covering her head, wearing black leather that smelled like sweat and old wine, made a few multicolor goldfish flutter by.
Ni smiled a wicked smile and reached for his mug of coffie. "How foolish."
"I'M nOt FOolIsh. I KnoW ThINgS NO oNE knOWs."
"Share some pearls." He said after a sip.
"I KnoW YoU'LL FaIL."
"Idiot." He laughed.
Hwan watched in disgusted shock. "What...?"
Wang motioned her over and whispered, "Talks to himself when he's drunk."
