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
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
Summary: Sarah wishes herself away, but Jareth is reluctant to give her what she wants.
The Goblin King exhales sharply, raking a hand through his tangled mane, his frustration barely concealed. His usual composure wavers, just for a second. “Couldn’t there be more between us, Sarah? Am I not…enough for you?”
One shot. Complete.

Summary
Summary: When seeking funding to revive her father’s dying firm, Sarah encounters someone from her past. And a proposal that chills her very bones.
Gothic. Very dark take on Beauty and the Beast. Explicit sexual content. A strange amalgamation of fear and lust, horror and romance. [Warning -- disturbing content].
‘…ring around the rosies, a pocket full of posies…’ she whirled around until she was giddy--she collapsed into a fit of giggles ‘ashes, ashes…’
The shadows smiled.
‘…we all fall down.’

Summary
Sarah, contending over the imminent death of her terminally ill father, receives a proposition that sounds too good to be true. The life of her father, the eternal protection of a fae over her entire family, in exchange for her hand in marriage. In a moment of weakness, afraid, but too guilt-stricken to refuse, she accepts the proposal -but to whom, she has no idea. Just so long as it isn't 'Him'... (archive warnings are for elements (some actual, some referenced) which apply much, much later in the story)

Summary
Some advice: The way forward is sometimes the way back. Take nothing for granted. Look before you leap. Things aren't always what they seem. Remember, Faeries bite. And most of all, be careful what you wish for...

…“Feel like playing games?” There was a malicious glint in his eyes, and the smile on his thin lips was more vicious than mocking now. “The stakes are so much higher this time than the last time we had a go at it, you realise that, don’t you?” He looked intently into her eyes as if seeking the answer there…
