There's a scene in Hogfather, a book by the late Terry Pratchett (spoilers ahead) in which Death who has for plot reasons taken the role of santa finds the little match girl. (I'm not too experienced, but maybe a trigger warning for death? Better safe than sorry.)

Does anyone know that story? A young girl is out in the cold, trying to sell matches, and lighting them herself for the brief warmth they provide. Eventually, she dies. Sure, it's presented as 'she goes off to a pleasant afterlife with family' but she's still dead. It's usually just another 'no matter how bad you've got it, someone's got it worse' story.

But not here. No, here Death ignores both his duties, because This Is Not Right.

So he gives the little match girl more life, and takes her to a charity.

That's one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite books. Because Death is kind, and is willing to ignore his job if he thinks it right.

I like to imagine that Sam Vimes, instead of dying properly, instead got minor godhood. All watchmen at some point thank him for his actions, his actions a ripple across the Disc. There's precedent in the Duchess of Borogravia, and in his arc. He keeps getting promotions, and hates each one. What higher status could he be unwillingly raised to than divinity, eternally watching the watchman?

Anyways, that's just a headcanon i've got

More people need to know about Hallucigenia.

I myself know very little, but it's something.
