The Dream and The Tempest are the two Shakespeare plays that link Poul Anderson and Neil Gaimain:
Gaiman's The Sandman: A Midsummer Night's Dream is about the first performance of the Dream before Auberon's court;
Gaiman's The Sandman: The Tempest is about the writing of The Tempest;
Anderson's A Midsummer Tempest is a sequel to both plays.
The Sandman and A Midsummer Tempest are each part of a fictional multiverse. Gaiman's characters meet in the Inn of the Worlds' End whereas Anderson's meet in the Old Phoenix: two free houses that are not part of any realm or domain.

Kaor, Paul!
It would be great if there actually was an Old Phoenix Inn! Or something analogous to it in the real multiverse.
