I am saddened that you have not updated in so long. This story is truly wonderful! I enjoy your depictions of Sarah and Jareth a lot and find your writing style refreshing and easy to follow. Update soon! :)

Oh, nice chapter. In addition to Sarah, I also find your Jareth nicely crafted. He's way of acting and speaking struck me as characteristic for him. He's not evil nor is he something totally good either. My favorite part definitely was that when he's thinking why would he have a reason to threaten Sarah. It was absolutely fantastic! The dialogue between him and Sarah, the tension between the two was palpable. The scene was nice especially since that dangerous yet, ah, so sexy Goblin King makes his true appearance there. On the other hand, his Casanova-like act in the Oubliette (not kissing of hand, mind you, that was nice - but the "when you have charms") felt slightly screwy.

And it appears changelings to have bigger part in this story then, since that throws him so totally...

Some small things, which I've noticed you to use occasionally in your writing. You tend to explain sometimes some things almost as twice. E.g. when Jareth asks Sarah if she really expected him to show her his best guest room, you write at first Sarah thinking no, and then you put her also thinking in italics the same thing another time. You do this kind of writing occasionally, I can't remember at the moment where I've seen similar kind of structure, but I remember it sometimes catches my eyes.

However, that's small. And all in all, I did like the chapter a lot! Great characterising of both Jareth and Sarah! Please update soon! Since I truly like the story and I'm astonished of how little you've received reviews thus far. Just keep on writing. I'm certain soon other people will notice your fic too!

Oh, fantastic, you've updated. And with two chapters even! And a long time ago, also. Hmm, maybe my optic was right when he asked if I should get myself glasses? *grin*

Okay, first thing. I do like this new foe, and your description of him. He's intriguing with a hint of dangerous about him. His way of communication also fits his character quite nicely. I assume that he's tendency to get Sarah doubting herself is part of his special fae glamour? I know including magical elements can be a tricky task, but you've done rather nicely though I could have hoped to get even a better glimpse about his special talents. (Getting the other on his side by a mere talk.) I do hope you're bringing him back to the story, I admit I find his character very intriguing. Also, why having the changeling is so important to him. I guess that got something to do with faes being slow to produce whereas humans breed like small rabbits. His selection to pick Emily struck me also rather weird, there either is a plot on Sarah or she caused it somehow by uttering Jareth's name.

Tiny comment, you appear to use somewhat a phrase " it was all/anything/something but", you might want to watch that trait? I know we all have these own little quarks and traits (I tend to use glance/stare/look way too much for my own liking), but having the same phrase all over again can make the reader little thrown.

The horseshoe amulet and falling of the night scenes were also nice, and interesting that Sarah should know about the end result of the chase. My first thought might be that Labyrinth/someone somehow warned her, would be nice to see if I was right about it. :)

Only thing that struck me odd was her falling through the land, and then actually falling into a tree. I know Labyrinth can be magical but that was really stretching my imagination. I do hope you have some explanation for it. (I don't really mind even if you don't have, I'm sometimes just tiny picky on these sort of things...)

And having Jareth finally back in the picture just sparkled my curiousity more! Can't wait to read more! Good work with this chapter.

I must say, I really love this Jareth! still so carming, and yet, he stayed cruel to her!:) I like the idea of letting Sarah sleep in the oubliette. It shows his dark and cocky side a little without falling in the obvious!:D

I'm really looking forward the next chapter!:D

yay! Our favorite king makes an appearance.

I really loved this chappie. I think you were spot on with a more mature Sarah's characterization. Strong, brave, stubborn, confident, loyal, but not infallible. I can't wait to see the next update.

I love the Antigone-Ismene scene! I had two chances to play Antigone in highschool, but both my prospective Ismenes let me down and I never got to... *Sigh* It's nice to see it in a Laby fic! ^^ It's a very good start and I'm gonna keep reading right now~

I can't wait for the next chapter! hihi. I really like Sarah's personality in this story, it think it sticks with the real character! ( and i most definitely LOVE Holly! All her expressions are so funny! ( alas true! XD)
