Summary
Nine years after defeating the Labyrinth, Sarah is in Ireland — a land of old magic, where legend suggests her victory comes with a price and her story is far from finished. Something ancient has been set in motion and Sarah finds herself at the centre of a very old, very Goblin, tradition.
As time passes, fruit ripens. Let the feast begin at the Goblin Market...

Summary
It isn’t everyday that a 30 year old associate litigation lawyer gets kidnapped and tasked with saving the Underground. Catch: she has to work with her former arch nemesis. Oh and she’s dead if she doesn’t succeed.
The air in the room shifts. Jareth’s smirk fades—replaced by something colder, darker. His gaze fixes on her with razor precision.
“That,” he says, voice low and steady, “is where you’re mistaken, precious thing.”His tone is no longer amused. “I’ll tear through every last fool on that tribunal and set their precious chamber to ash before I let them put a hand on you.”

Summary
Words have power. Woven to beguile and to ensnare - like twisted branches of a tree with roots gone deep. They lie in shadow, filled with purpose and intent. Filled with Old magic. Sarah really should have known better. Norse gods, ancient rituals, the chase… He is through waiting. It all began with a book; it is only fitting that it should end with one.
Enter the Tanglewood...

Summary
She takes a step closer, eyes locked on him. “What are you doing to me?”
Jareth leans back in his chair, one hand curling loosely around the stem of a glass. His other hand rests near a silver knife, idle. His expression is calm, too calm.
“Nothing,” he says, the word drawn out. “Not yet.”
Oneshot with a hint of The Twelve Dancing Princesses.

Summary
Sarah avait vingt-six ans, un travail et un appartement à elle quand les rêves étaient revenus, et maintenant, ils ne la lâchaient plus. Elle était à deux doigts de perdre le sommeil et la raison à essayer de fuir le Labyrinthe et son maître aux désirs terrifiants.
Jareth a un âge incalculable quand Sarah leur revient, et maintenant il ne la lâchera plus. Il est à deux doigts de perdre patience et toute forme de raison à essayer de l'attraper, de la faire sienne et d'enfin lui faire payer son orgueil. La briser n'est que la première étape.

Summary
Underground, it is common knowledge that anyone wishing to marry the Goblin King must be victorious in a challenge set by the Labyrinth itself.
No one expected the Labyrinth to choose its young human Champion as the challenge to be bested.
As for Sarah, she’s becoming increasingly concerned by how much she enjoys defeating Jareth’s would-be-spouses with a wide range of boardgames.
It should also be noted that Sarah is an unrepentant cheat.
So is Jareth.

Summary
13 hours was all Sarah was given to solve the Labyrinth.
13 years was all Sarah was given of her freedom.
It’s only forever, not long at all.At 29 years old, Sarah had put the castle beyond the Goblin City far into her past, but something vital was missing in her life. In the Underground, it was no different. The Goblin King grew weary as the years went on, waiting and agonizing over the return of Sarah Williams, the only Defeater of the Labyrinth, the woman who stole his heart.
The Labyrinth has only awarded her 13 years of freedom in exchange for her beating it, a trivial fact that was never made apparent to her in the chaos of her escape. She is to remain in the Underground as a titled member of the High Fae. In order to gain her freedom, Sarah makes a bargain with Jareth to conquer the darkness, an evil force of magic that has been plaguing the Underground since Sarah had left. If she successfully rids the realm of the darkness, she can go home. But whether she is successful or not, if she falls in love with Jareth, she must stay with him in the Underground as his wife, to rule as queen by his side.
Warning: Contains elements of violence, graphic language, and sexual activities.

Summary
"He stirred in his sleep, lids fluttering for a moment. Her eyes tracked to the thrum of life in his throat; something so recognizable and almost human in the movement. Almost fragile. Veins faint blue against pale skin.
And just like that it was real. Too real. No longer fantasy and plot. Something threatened to fracture within her - she was about to kill the Goblin King."Sometimes the line between hate and love blurs.

Summary
She heard him stand up, circling the desk. She gripped onto the arms of her chair. His footsteps stopped just behind her, his hands coming to rest on her shoulders. He brushed some of her hair away from her neck, softly. “I’ve never hidden what I am, Sarah. You just chose not to see it. You wanted a child’s game and I gave it to you, you wanted to defeat a villainous king and I allowed you to. And yet, you didn’t... once... wonder what I wanted.”
Sarah and Jareth, through the years.
