But Then I Shall Know Even As Also I Am Known (Baccano!/Sandman, Vino/Corinthian)

This piece is subtitled "Fuck You Creative Writing Seminar," as I think I've broken pretty much all of the unofficial rules for that class here. So I don't want to write mainstream fiction. So take it up with the Corinthian and Vino.

Vino frowns. “It isn’t a secret, exactly. If you want to live forever, you don’t die. People make things more complicated than they actually are.”

YES.

That was so perfectly Sandman (Hob <3) and yet so perfectly Vino, it's simply stunning.

One of my favourite anime crossed with one of my favourite... well, anything. I love you for this. And I will agree that the Gaiman really shines through here.

YAY you caught the Hob shoutout. And yes, it rings so true for Claire -- I have no problem envisioning him as a Sandman-style immortal. None at all.

And thanks so much -- this was a fun one to write, and I love paying tribute to Gaiman. He's had such an influence on me.

Oh. Em. Gee.

Wow, when I first read the description, I sorta raised my eyebrows and decided to read it just for the weirdness. The idea of a Baccano/Sandman crossover seemed so random at first, but then when I actually started reading... holy crap...

You definitely know what you are doing. I love love looooved it! Seriously, it was so dark and twisted, yet so normal for the both of them. Their characterization was spot on, the writing flowed, and the descriptions demanded vivid mental images that really really made this an amazing read.

Really, great job. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)
