Alfheim (scroll down) is in Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword. Yggdrasil is in Anderson's Operation Luna and in Mike Carey's Lucifer, the sequel to Gaiman's The Sandman. Carey also gives a big role to Fenris Wolf. Firespear's elf-hounds had:
"...blood of Gram and Fenris and the Wild Hunt's dogs in them."
-The Broken Sword, XII, p. 89.
In The Sandman: Season Of Mists, messages from the (Biblical) One God are relayed by an angel and the former appears as an elderly gentleman in modern garb in Lucifer. He exists but remains in the background in Anderson's The Broken Sword and Operation Chaos.

Kaor, Paul!
I was reminded of how, in Tolkien's THE SILMARILLION we read of God (called Eru Iluvatar) speaking and acting directly (as in the chapter "Of Aule and Yavanna). The One's role in LOTR was more indirect, but substantial, with Gandalf saying that Bilbo and later Frodo were "meant" to get the Ruling Ring, rather than Sauron.
Ad astra! Sean
