I only know Sandman second-hand, but this was vivid and lovely even without that kind of immediate knowledge. The descriptions of delirium (and Delirium) were delightfully realistic, in a way, that kind of rational irrationality that comes in dreaming. And as a musician, I'm particularly amused by the idea of death by tuning fork!
Poor Doctor. More specifically, poor Nine. This is the third Nine regeneration fic I've read today (there seems to be a wave on), and while it's sad that Eight dies, Nine is always so angry/bitter/sad about waking up.
Edited for spelling, because medieval Latin is more harm than help in that regard!
