No clue if the characterization is right, but awesome interaction!!!

Death would've been a comfort at this time. Though now I wonder if it was Dream that made her go catatonic after Glory kidnapped Dawn.

Day Thirty-One - Accepted!

I see what you're trying to do, and the overall idea is right for Death and Buffy. Death's tone is wrong. She's a very cheery perky goth in the comics, with a very distinctive voice. Like Buffy herself, a lot of Death's characterization is visual and audible (even if comics are technically a silent medium).

I'm not sure if you're writing Dream-Oneiros or Dream-Daniel. It might be kind of right for Daniel's voice, maybe. It really really really really doesn't feel like Oneiros. Really. If you want gentle and caring, you're probably better off using Destruction or Barnabas for this role. The other option is go for Delirium, but she's really hard to write.

I love the concept so much tho. It's always awesome when Dream's family gangs up on him. And Buffy could really use the kick in the ass from Death at this point in her life.
