Some words of wisdom 🙏✨️
Hi Mr Gaiman!
What’s your opinion on people saying someone is only a real fan of something if they consumed all of the available media of that thing? (e.g. “you aren’t a real fan of sandman if you only watched the netflix series”)
I feel like more and more people do this to sort of gate keep otherwise amazing fandoms and personally i think it’s quite sad to see.
As I posted on a more or less dead site a couple of years ago:

Lucienne/Lucien - How the Librarian Became the Chief.
Tumblr media
In The Sandman Netflix adaptation Lucienne is a stand out character and second only to Morpheus in importance, screen time, and centrality to the story. Lucienne is Morpheus's loyal Librarian, second in command, ruler of the Dreaming in his absence, and often times a voice of reason and advice for our dutiful King of Dreams. She is so well respected in her position that the other castle residents consider her their boss and would rather go to her for guidance and command than Morpheus himself. She takes care of Dream's ravens and even appears to have the power to create new ravens from newly deceased mortals like she did with Matthew. She is clearly extremely close to Morpheus, and is one of very few people he seems to actually listen to and trust. Lucienne's role in this story can not be underestimated.
So it may come as a surprise to any fans of the show who haven't read the comics to learn that Lucien (as he is called in the comics) is afforded very few of the above traits. In fact Lucien is no where near as close to Morpheus even by the very end of the story, as Lucienne is at the beginning. It is this difference that has fascinated me since I first started diving into the comics after falling in love with the show, and its something I view as extremely important when considering how the story is being adapted into a kinder, more sympathetic universe surrounding our central protagonist.
Lucienne's role is expanded greatly from her comic counterpart, and her relationship with Morpheus is shown to be much deeper. This is evident practically right away at the end of episode one when Lucienne comes to greet Morpheus upon his return to the Dreaming following his escape.
Tumblr media
The way she runs over to him as soon as she realises he is back, and lovingly takes his hand and is so pleased to see him is a far cry from the comic where the first thing Lucien does is bow.
Tumblr media
So right at the start we see a very different form of relationship here. Where Lucienne is already displaying a level of care and devotion beyond the expectations of a servant, Lucien however, is exactly that.
The servant thing has caused a bit of contention among fandom in the past. I think the confusion could come from whether or not you see Lucien or Lucienne first. Lucien IS a servant of Dream. Lucienne is more like a vice president and royal advisor. Those are two very different things after all and that difference only becomes more obvious the further you go into the story.
Lucienne accompanies Morpheus throughout his return to his crumbling kingdom, helps him as he attempt to repair the damage, follows him to Cain and Abel, and watches over his meeting with the Fates. She is by his side from the moment he returns until the moment he leaves again for the waking world to begin his quest to recover his tools, and she is responsible for Matthew's reincarnation as the new Raven and instructs Matthew to stay with him because of her concern for Morpheus's wellbeing on his quest.
I cannot stress enough how much none of this is in the comics. Lucienne shows a level of care towards Morpheus that just isn't present in Lucien in the comics. After the first meeting with Lucien at the gates of the Dreaming, Lucien doesn't appear again until he is instructed by Morpheus to conduct the census of the Dreaming. He only appears again in the Doll's House very briefly and has no involvement in Morpheus's decisions during that arc, which takes place very rarely in the Dreaming.
That's not to say that Lucien isn't a very trusted servant of Morpheus. He is the closest to Morpheus of all the residents of the Dreaming except only Matthew. But I think a lot of what we see in the show of Morpheus and Lucienne's dynamic is inspired by much later in the comics. I also think that it speaks loudly to the change in Morpheus as a character. Show!Morpheus has people almost right away who care about him and want to help him, whereas comic!Morpheus is extremely isolated. It is clear in the early comic stories that comic!Morpheus keeps himself at arms length from basically everyone. He does not have a bond with Lucien, he did not have Jessamy, and at that early stage, he didn't even have Matthew. All of this of course was primarily to make show!Morpheus a more sympathetic and likeable character - you gotta give your protagonist people who care about them, it helps raise the stakes after all.
Taking Charge - Lucienne is the real boss
One of my favourite parts of the Dolls House episodes in the Netflix show is the conflict between Morpheus and Lucienne due to the other residence and Dreaming servants going to her for advice and instruction first rather than Morpheus. Bearing in mind this only takes place less than a year after Morpheus's return from imprisonment, it speaks volumes as to how Lucienne has taken the role of leader of the Dreaming in her stride.
Tumblr media
But it also indicates how Morpheus' change in the show is coming at lightening fast speed compared to the comic. In the comic, Mervyn doesn't make these observations until the Brief Lives arc, and this is indicated at that point to be a very new thing - triggered by several years post fish bowl of having to face his past decisions and mistakes (and a string of scorned ex lovers one after the other ending in a horribly matched rebound relationship with a murderous witch that subsequently rejected him and triggered him literally seeking out destruction). Lucien was only put in charge of the Dreaming when Morpheus left to go on his trip with Delirium. It is during that trip that Morpheus realises how competent Lucien is and capable of running things without problem in his absence.
Mervyn's insights are made clear here:
Tumblr media
This is the only time in the comic that anyone dares mention that someone other than Morpheus might be the boss - and it is in no way as directly spelled out as it is in the show. "You're practically running the place" and "you secretly run this place" are quite different statements. The first only makes an observation about Morpheus's current lack of interest (in Brief Lives) in actually running his realm. It implies that Lucien is doing Morpheus' job for him, but does not go as far as to outright call Lucien the boss. Whereas in the show, that's exactly what Mervyn does.
In the comic, Morpheus overhears Mervyn's speech and immediately points out his reasoning for leaving Lucien in charge, for promoting him and giving him more authority.
Tumblr media
Because no one ever technically undermines Morpheus in the comic, there is no conflict here. Morpheus trusts Lucien as his loyal servant and gives him the power to rule in his stead (but only when he is absent) and there is no "secretly report to Lucien first" attitude among Matthew and Mervyn. We can perhaps interpret that this might be happening behind the scenes by this point in Brief Lives, or even just before the BL arc when Morpheus was distracted by his rebound murderess, but it is never actually directly stated that this is going on.
The tension between Morpheus and Lucienne in the show is born out of the conflict over Lucienne's position and Morpheus feeling undermined by his subjects, and its storytelling gold. But the only reason such a story works in the show is because Lucienne is so important to Morpheus in the show, because their relationship goes so much deeper than the relationship in the comic. Lucienne is not a servant, she's his god damn vice president and she knows it, and he knows it too. Throughout episodes 7 and 8 specifically he reaches out to her for her opinion and advice on the Vortex situation. He talks things through with her and seeks out her guidance. It is clear that he relies on her and it is only at the end of episode 8 when Lucienne disagrees with his punishment of Gault, that in his anger, he dismisses her.
Lucien/ne the Royal Advisor
Where Morpheus in the show seeks out Lucienne's advice and opinion frequently especially during the Doll's House arc, I have to stress that this never happens in the comic. Comic!Morpheus just does not have that kind of relationship with Lucien and does not seek his counsel at all, even though Lucien does try to give it on occassion, usually when Morpheus is about to do something extremely stupid and probably damaging to himself and the Dreaming. To name a couple times:
Season of Mists - before Morpheus returns to Hell:
Tumblr media
Brief Lives - before seeking Destruction:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You'll note that in both these times Lucien's words of caution are completely ignored.
You'll also notice that in both times Lucien is taking a path of polite caution. Lucien very rarely speaks his mind to Morpheus, because he knows it won't get him very far to do so. The only time Lucien truly loses his cool and speaks freely is in The Kindly Ones (spoiler alert)
Tumblr media
At this point in the comic story Morpheus has basically all but given up and accepted his fate and its fucking depressing AF. Lucien is well within his right to shake the bastard HARD and snap him TF out of it. I STILL think he was too restrained here tbh!
My point here is that Lucienne already speaks her mind quite freely around Morpheus in the show. She expresses her opinions and thoughts and gives him her advice. This is such a well established dynamic by the point of the argument that it is clear that Lucienne is offended by Morpheus's dismissal of her.
Take this exchange from episode 9:
Lucienne: "Rose is weakening the walls between realms" Matthew: "You gonna tell the Boss?" Lucienne: "No." Matthew: "No?" Lucienne: "It's none of my business." Matthew: "Er, since WHEN?" Lucienne: "Since Lord Morpheus reminded me that I'm merely a librarian and should concern myself with my books from now on." Matthew: "He said that?! What's wrong with him!" Lucienne: "Nothing is wrong with him. He's always been this way. He's just been away so long I'd forgotten. He's determined to deal with the vortex and the missing Arcana by himself. Without anyones help. So any news must be reported directly and exclusively to him."
It's worth pointing out here that whilst this is framed as Morpheus being a stubborn idiot, in the comic, he does in fact deal with the vortex and the missing Arcana by himself mostly and is not so much helped but saved at the last moment by Unity Kinkaid who realises what is happening in a dream and goes to save Rose, which also saves Morpheus from Desire's trap.
In the show, Morpheus has people who care enough about him and his realm to want to get involved and help him, not out of a desire to undermine him, but simply because they care about him. That is a drastic change from the comic at this point. Morpheus in the comic is constantly shown to be struggling under the burden of his own responsibilities and this is highlighted by the fact that he doesn't really get any support or assistance, and is far too prideful to ask for it. Lucien gets the promotion and chance to rule in his absence, but it is never framed as a job he shares with Morpheus - at no point does Lucien take the burden of his responsibilities off of him. This is no Samwise Gamgee "I can carry you" moment unfortunately. Lucien does not have the power nor the bond with Morpheus to undertake such a task because Morpheus keeps him at arms length throughout the comics - but Lucienne? Well, time will tell how that may change.
An Apology from the King
In a shock horror twist that comic!Morpheus would sooner die than do himself (ha) the great emo King of the Netflix universe gives Lucienne an apology for his behaviour (sort of).
Tumblr media
Episode 9 displays the tension between Morpheus and Lucienne following their "break up" perfectly. Morpheus is clearly in the wrong, and Lucienne is clearly hurt by his dismissal of her support. Yet even after the fight, he still seeks out her advice in determining the cause of the disturbances in the Dreaming. He goes to her first before investigating himself (something that comic!Morpheus wouldn't even consider doing) and is surprisingly capable in swallowing his pride here even though it is clearly a struggle for him.
Later in the episode, once he realises that Lucienne was right about the disturbances, he seeks her out to tell her so, and to confirm that she was right and he was wrong. This is again something that I can't fathom comic!Morpheus doing, even nearer the end of the story I don't believe he does so, certainly not to Lucien. Fiddlers Green drums this point home when he says this:
Fiddlers Green: "... still his time there appears to have changed him as it has changed me." Lucienne: "How so?" Fiddlers Green: "Lucienne, he came to you and told you he was wrong. It was very nearly an apology. The Morpheus I knew was incapable of that."
This further reinforces not just how much Morpheus has changed in a short time, but also how much he respects and cares about Lucienne and their continued relationship.
Platonic Life Partners? Co Ruler and Closest Confident of the Dream King
When I set out to write this meta, it was with the aim to highlight Lucienne's elevated role from her comic counterpart. To try to stress the importance of her character in the show and what this means for the future of the story in the show. By the end of the last episode, Lucienne is practically granted co-ruler status of the Dreaming while Morpheus works on his creations. He asks her if she can "take care of things while he works" which she agrees "with pleasure".
I just... I can NOT stress ENOUGH how much comic!Morpheus needed this person in his life. Even though Lucien looks after the Dreaming whilst Morpheus is away in Season of Mists and Brief Lives, it is always as a last resort with Morpheus continuing to check in on Lucien during Brief Lives as if he expects trouble, and he always seems a bit confused when Lucien tells him all is fine. As if he can't quite understand how the Dreaming could be okay without him there (and I mean, after the trauma of watching your realm which is also technically a part of you crumble to dust I suppose you would be a bit attached to it!).
Comic!Morpheus constantly struggles under the weight of his responsibility. His entire thing is that he is desperate to step away and not be who he is but he simply does not have it in him to do that. He is far too bound by his rules and responsibilities. For Morpheus in the show to be given someone to support him in his rule as King and assist him with the burden of his responsibilities is actually a hugely mindblowing change to the comic, and could honestly have huge repercussions on the story going forward. Not only that, but the Morpheus in the comics is painfully lonely. He desperately needs companionship but he keeps everyone at arms length. He never allows his subjects to get too close to him, even Lucien. Even Matthew isn't afforded the same level of closeness in the comics as he is in the show. In the comics, the ONLY character who Morpheus is close to is Death. Which says a lot by itself. The second character he gets closer to as time goes on is Delirium. Which also says a lot. Think of the characters in terms of their concepts. Morpheus has no close friends in the comics (even his relationship with Hob Gadling in the comic doesn't have half the impact it does in the show) and keeps all those he interacts with at arms length except for Delirium and Death.
But show!Morpheus? He has a Matthew who is already so very devoted to him, a Hob Gadling who waited an extra 33 years on hope alone that he would return to him, and a Lucienne who rules by his side, offers him support, guidance, counsel, companionship and probably a good helping of love. How can this Morpheus possibly carry the same deep loneliness as his comic counterpart? How can this Morpheus be buckling under the weight of his duties when he already has his Samwise Gamgee right there by his side? It poses an interesting question for how the show will handle future story arcs, though it could all prove to simply make for a much more painful story, where we happen to have many more characters to react and show the deeply painful grief that we all feel at his eventual passing - or maybe, just maybe, this is a universe where Hope never died...

[The Sandman] I'll always hope
Title: I’ll always hope
Fandom: The Sandman
Summary: There are two things that Lucienne knows. First, Dream lies to himself way too much. Second, Dream’s hopes for himself are way too low. It doesn’t matter. She can hope for two.
Pairing: Dream of the Endless|Morpheus & Lucienne, Dream of the Endless|Morpheus/Robert “Hob” Gadling
On AO3, for @mr-sadman's National Librarian Day 2024!
Lucienne was aware of her Lord’s… expectations. Expectations from the others but also, and more importantly, from himself. When she died, the first time, it was so quick that she never felt a thing. The second time, she wasn’t that lucky. And then, she appeared.
“Let’s go.” The entity in front of her was a cold, stuck-up, bitchy entity.
“How would you like it?” Death looked at the child in front of her, with something akin to surprise. That’s when she proposed her a deal.
“What do you say child? Do you want to become my brother first raven?”
“I’ll do it. But I’ll need a new name.” Death chuckled.
“Ah, yes. Indeed. Why not Lucienne? It means Light and every little star shines brightly, isn’t it?”Lucienne thought about it. She had been her dad’s little star. She could be one for Dream.
“I like it. I’ll be Lucienne from now on.”
And so, Lucienne became Dream’s first raven and she learnt a lot about the third Endless. The saddest thing she learnt was that he didn’t believe he deserved to be happy. If she wasn’t so committed to protocols, she would have had a word or two with him. And maybe throwing something (soft, she wasn’t a monster) to him just for his stupidity.
Tumblr media
Raven
Then, after a few millennia as a brown-necked raven, she was given the choice to have a humanoid body (again) and to become the Librarian of the Dreaming. Of course she thought of a body which wasn’t the same as before. She liked her new body, particularly her ears, faerie-like. She looked nothing like when she was alive. It was better, anyway.
She saw her Lord sabotage himself countless times and she despaired for him to find true happiness. That was until he met Robert “Hob” Gadling. As his first raven, it was her duty to make sure nothing bad happened to him. She sent Jessamy to monitor things during their centennial meetings.
Hob was everything her Lord was not and she thought that, maybe, it was that he needed. Dream always surrounded himself with powerful beings of all sort. Someone so down to earth was a novelty, something he couldn’t predict (or not very well). When 1889 happened, her respect for Hob Gadling grew a bit more. He, also, saw how lonely Dream was. And of course, Dream needed to add more drama by leaving as he did.
After his disappearance, she took upon herself to keep the Dreaming together. She hoped for the swift return of her Lord and, even as the world around her began to decay, she still has faith he would return. She knew, he would return. No matter how long it would take him. She didn’t hope in vain. Now, after a few months, she saw him going to the waking a lot more; mainly to visit Hob. There was attraction between the two of them and everyone knew it. But Dream, as always, was pussyfooting the whole thing.
“My Lord, may I have a word?”
“Of course Lucienne, what is it?”
“I know you didn’t have a stellar record in relationship but why are you so hesitant to woo Hob Gadling?”
“He deserves better than me. I’ll hurt him in the end, like I always do.”
“No offence, my Lord but you hurt people so you can control the narrative. You seems to think that you’ll be ending alone, unlovable and you work your way to that result when, in fact, you could very well be happy forever.”
“I bring bad luck to people I’m close to. There was a child, once…” Her Lord looked into space but came back quickly. “It does not matter, she’s gone…” Lucienne thought ‘Could it be…?’
“Are you very lonely? I think you’re very lonely.” Dream’s eyes opened wildly to these words.
“I’m Dream of the Endless, I’m perfectly self-sufficient. Loneliness is a mortal condition, and I’m not a mortal.” Lucienne smirked
“You are such a liar.” Dream extended his shaky hand and Lucienne took it and pull him to her so she could hug him. Dream began to cry silently, the wound he didn’t knew he had (the wound he didn’t want to recognise) began to heal.

Dreaming Librarian Day!!!
I tried to get something new out for this event, I really did. Alas, t’was not to be. Luckily, Lucienne is one of my most written characters, and I have a host of already-published stories I can share in lieu of anything new.
Naturally, I have to start with hacia el mar, un lucero: recuérdalo (toward the sea, a star: remember it). It’s a character study, an examination of Lucienne’s past and present through the medium of physical form, and the memories that come (or don’t come) with it.
i carried this for years is one of the fics I wrote for my dearly loved rarepair Calliope/Lucienne, for which I posted the first fic ever on AO3. In it, Lucienne finally allows herself to feel the weight of her decades alone in her crumbling home, and Calliope is there to support her. Just showering so much love on Lucienne, and being so proud of her for giving herself space to acknowledge the pain she’s experienced.
nosso amor (our love) is in a similar vein, with Lucienne Feeling Feelings and being supported and comforted. This is an important topic to me! Clearly!! This one features Lucienne and Dream; I marked the fic as Gen, but the nature of their relationship is open to however you want to interpret it *blows kiss at all the Morphienne shippers out there* I really loved digging into their bond.
i’ll be your friend, i will love you so deeply is also about their bond, and it’s just pure fluff. Dream gives Lucienne a piggyback ride. That’s about it. It was SO fun to write. It was a delightful challenge having them both be so silly but still keeping them in character.
em tudo eu via nós (in everything i saw us) is another fluffy piece! This one is about Unity and Lucienne. I definitely think Unity chose to stay in the Dreaming. We see that scene in the show where Lucienne comes to Dream on the beach to tell him about Rose’s book, but what if he wasn’t the first person she told about it? Really got into my Rose and Unity feels in this one. Got to touch on Lucienne-as-a-being-of-stories as well, which is very dear to me.
…and I have several other fics about Lucienne and many more in store, but these are just some of the top hits. If you end up checking out any of these stories, THANK YOU! <3

now, and forevermore (Morphienne, AO3)
Rating: General | Status: Complete | Chapters 1/1 | Words: 2.3K
Tags: Love Confessions, Declarations Of Love, Soft Dream of the Endless, Fluff and Angst, but only a little bit of angst, Promises
Summary:
The first thing she notices is the smell of flowers, fragrant and sweet. The second, is that she is no longer indoors within the castle, but outside in a small courtyard that is also new to her. Though it had been nighttime within the castle, here in this mystery garden, the sun is still setting, casting a soft red and orange hue across the grass and the fauna that surround the perimeter. Lucienne finds her eyes drawn towards the center, where a large arch trellis sits above a wooden bench. The archway is wrapped in ivy interspersed with roses and jasmine, all in full bloom and bursting with life. Sitting on the wooden bench, of course, is the lord of dreams. --- Or, Lucienne and Dream finally have a long overdue conversation.
Written for the National Librarian Day event run by the @mr-sadman server!
