Star Trek/The Sandman: A Breath Away

And another reveal: my Star Trek Holidays story was a crossover with The Sandman. I hadn‘t been sure whether or not to do the ficathon this year simply for time reasons, but then I saw someone had nominated Uhura and Death of the Endless as two characters they wanted to meet, and how could I resist? So I signed up, and was very happy to get exactly this prompt as my assignment. The result:
