Ok, wow. Poor Sarah, she's never getting out of there.

Argh! You must really hate conclusions! t_t

Just absolutely LOVED this one! Great writing! This is one of the best Labyrinth fics I've read so far. Thank you for writing this great story!

I adore this.

Oh, that was igood!/i Soooo deliciously dark!

What an excellent story - you've captured the real essence of the characters, and the writing is beautiful. Thank-you for sharing.

This is definitely one of the best Labyrinth fic I have ever read. In fact, I should have reviewed before as this is the second time I'm reading it (shame on me for not reviewing it before). I remembered some, so the second time reading it wasn't quite the same, but it was still enjoyable and I could feel remembrances of how on the edge I was the first time I read it.

I think you did a great job with Sarah as she doesn't intentionally give in, but can't seem to help it sometimes. I feel like she developed into the sort of person I could envision in a post-movie setting. And Jareth...I don't even know where to begin. His character was breathtakingly refreshing. I've read many Labyrinth fics where he's just this too nice often misunderstood good guy who was forcefully cast into the role of the villain because of Sarah. I like that he DOES actually have darkness within him and that he exhibits this other worldliness that shows that he doesn't have to play by human/mortal rules because he is neither. It left this air of mysteriousness. And for lack of better wording, he was just damn sexy. Frankly I don't know if I'd want to follow him in Sarah's shoes, but the fact that I half consider it but half don't is a testament to how conflicted you made me feel about him (in a very good way, might I add).

I can't thank you enough for writing this piece. My life would've been less bright without it.

That was certainly a twist. I wonder how long Sarah will last or at what point Jareth gets bored.

Most comments and critiques have been sprede. But I liked it too :)

It doesn't seem like a clean ending. You left us with a threat and a challenge, which haven't been resolved. Honestly it doesn't feel like a complete story...Do you plan on writing more?

I really enjoyed this story thus far.

Most writers don't seem to be willing to acknowledge that Jareth is a bad guy/fae. It's so difficult to find quality stories that don't present a watered down version of the Goblin King. Perhaps my moral compass is broken but I have no problem admitting that I prefer your version of him (dark, decadent and utterly unrepentant). Your Sarah is strong and spunky but ultimately doesn't stand a chance in hell of beating a creature like Jareth ...at least not indefinitely. It's probably another sign of my moral decay that I'm always rooting for Jareth. In my (limited) defense, I can think of worse fates than an eternity with Jareth. Overall, I was most impressed by your exploration of Sarah's nightmare/near rape. From a psychological point of view, rape fantasies are relatively common. It's not surprising that Sarah's psyche can't quite decide if sex with Jareth would be nirvana or hell. However, writing Jareth's reaction must've been tricky. Jareth is ancient and decidedly not human. I liked that your Jareth didn't want to hurt her in that manner but would ultimately be capable of doing so. It was a sharp reminder that Jareth isn't heroic or constrained by rules of chivalry. As I've never wanted Jareth to be heroic, I can appreciate this particular fantasy. Thank you so much for taking the time to entertain fanfic addicts (such as myself)!

So I found this story a year or two ago, and you just took my breath away. I had never read fanfiction that was even decent before, let alone spectacular, and I just wanted to tell you that your writing is absolutely gorgeous and just thank you thank you thank you.

Wow. Talk about no holds barred and nasty as hell! You sure know how to write 'em! Great job creating a truly otherworldly Jareth.

I really liked this story. I loved how you portrayed Jareth and Sarah :D

I have never lingered on the edge of any particular seat for as long as I did through your last chapter of this beautiful masterpiece. I do apologise for not reviewing each and every chapter but I found myself too eager to read the next that I just could not stop. Surely that is proof of great writing?

A stalemate has never been so breathtaking. She fights the same fight every night, not knowing until the crucial last moments of the night come to fruition and she can see for herself, only to forget, and he remembers. Nobody wins. Jareth is prepared to torment himself with her refusal for eternity? Unless he changes his game, he'll never break her will. It will just go on, and she will continue to forget and defy him all over again.

Just rereading that last paragraph, the first paragraph if you will, at the end of the story, I admit I did cackle a bit. If Jareth had won, I would have been unsurprised. If Sarah had won, I would have been unsurprised. There is always a winner. Until a genius like you twists the very fabric of time and locks two opponents in a neverending duel.

My heart was on fire the entire read. Your writing skills are poetic and wonderful. Your style flows like water. Always a point, always explained at the critical point. Thank you so much for making me fall in love with your story.
