A Heap of Dreams is a comic script and extremely rough storyboard I started posting a while back for a Sandman / Les Mis crossover! The master post of the pages I’ve done so far is here. I have quite a bit more planned--here’s a bit from later on, with Death:

“You see that girl?” [Eponine has returned to the barricade. She still has the letter.] “Two years ago, she looked into the Seine and realized she didn’t have to jump—that her body would come to the same slab in the morgue no matter what. Ever since then, she’s been able to make people go where she tells them. She remembers the water, and remembers she has nothing to fear.”

“That man there?” [Javert, methodically working on the small barricade, looks over his shoulder] “He broke a geas, nine years ago—took a life that mortal law had no claim on.” [Single panel, Fantine in her deathbed, horror-stricken.] “Until the Ladies come for him, he’s none of my business—and they’re taking their time. Aren’t you?”

His name is Daemon. He has committed multiple demon war crimes. =)

‘He certainly will. He weighs ten pounds and--why, listen to him. Nothing wrong with his lungs, is there? The nurse says his hair will be red. Anne is furious with her, and I'm tickled to death.’

That was a wonderful day in the little house of dreams.
