    Summary

    The obstinate Marianne Dashwood realizes second attachments are quite possible indeed, and may come even stronger than the first, born of foolish notions of youth. It may be, however, that she has seen the light too late, for a newcomer in town may have stolen the heart which she now wishes belonged to her. Ironically, the loss of that which she did not know she wished to have is what brought realization unto her.

    Summary

    “You know, we have a saying where I’m from Precious. ‘When you want something done, you’ll have to do it yourself'.” Jareth's amused voice carried easily over the loud onslaught outside as he watched the storm unfold. 
     
    “It's true what they say: all good things come to those who wait.” 
     
    Sarah could practically hear his face splitting in a grin, the sound of his triumphant laugh making her stomach sink.
     
    “And to think I’ve waited thirteen bloody long years for this.”

    Summary

    56 years have passed since defeating Jareth and solving his Labyrinth. Sarah had lived a full life in those years; she married, became a mother, and a grandmother who always entertained her family with her tales of The Underground. How she could ever have imagined the absurd thoughts from her stories, no one had a clue, not even her for quite some time. That is, until the Goblin King returns to whisk her away to the Underground once again. This time, however, he's hell-bent on keeping her at all costs. But her granddaughter is just as determined to get her back.

    Summary

    His brow furrowed in displeasure when she pulled away, but it faded quickly. “If my words are not enough to reassure you,” he said, his eyes fixed on hers with an intensity that had not been there before. “Let me show you how highly you rank in my affections.”

    “That’s not–I didn’t–” She stuttered, her brain short-circuiting as, too late, she registered the slight flush to his cheeks, the heat in his eyes. He wasn’t angry anymore–or at least, he was not just angry. Did he think that she was jealous?

    She tried to back up another step, but he tightened his grip on her arm, making her wince, and yanked her towards him.

    Summary

    Raising his head ever so slightly, his mismatched eyes gazed up at her lazily through the lifeless strands of his unruly mane. Sitting there as if he was nowhere he had not expected to be, as if kneeling half naked and bloody on the floor of a college dorm room was nothing out of the ordinary for the Goblin King, Jareth smiled softly. See warnings in the first chapter!!!!

    I have made sure that the triggering passages are clearly marked so that you can read around them if so inclined.

    Summary

However, that all changes as eight-year-old Sarah meets a stranger with mismatched eyes that seemed to be running from Goblins within the labyrinth one fateful afternoon. As a friendship blossomed and then diminished, Sarah tries her best to forget about the Goblin Prince - later Goblin King - while he seems to remember everything about her.

    Summary

    It’s Christmastime, and Jareth has decided that Sarah Williams has been more naughty than nice. Much to his chagrin, not only has the object of his desire recently been on a date with a mortal man, but she’s considering a second!

    Unfortunately, Sarah is willful and defiant as ever and is gallingly intent on ignoring the flame that’s been crackling between her and himself for over ten years. What’s a snubbed Goblin King to do? Seize an opportunity presented by the timely telling of an old European holiday folktale, of course.

    Summary

    M's Orchid is among the latter of all things nocturnal and naughty. It is not just any Cabaret club that can be found among the stormy streets of New York- it the greatest underground city that is filled with drink, smoke, and endless entertainment- for those who can afford it, that is. Regardless of M's Orchid's shabby and empty location, the place is endlessly busy and bustling. It is a retreat for all of those who yearn to get away from their reality and enter into a new world; it is a new realm of existence. It's cramped, it's dark, it's murky.

    It's a nighttime paradise.

    Mature Content Warning!! This story carries some pretty dark themes. Please look in the tags for more info.

    Jareth/Sarah SLOW burn story, but damn does it become worth it.
