You can be better than that

by Slant

Summary:

Dream fucking hates Goncharov; Lucien has to put up with his lord's edicts.

Edited panels from Sandman Universe #1

Panel 1; Lucien: ... a librarian
Panel 2; Lucien: A curator of impossible volumes! It is his pride to keep every book that was never written! Every unspoken sonnet, every unfinished opus. Even those titles martyred by retcon are here -- erased but unforgotten
Panel 3; Lucien [obviously edited]: Except Goncharov. Goncharov is a lumpy sort of joke; we moved the Goncharov annex to hell where it would be far from the light of the creator
Panel 4: Lucien reaches for a book on the shelves
Panel 5: Lucien looks horrified [obviously edited]: Ugh another version of the apple scene

Notes:

So. Done.

While I'm editing this because of a broken link, lets just mention that Neil's self-insert's treatment of his girlfriends is a lot less charming now we all know it was written from life.
