NS chapter 9 . 4/10/2022 Six years since I read this… How the time flies Thank you for writing this and Erlkönig! Truly works of art. |
Helix28 chapter 9 . 8/17/2021 Thank you for your excellent story. I greatly enjoyed the layering of "realities" and the tension you built where you almost want to scream at S to realise the fate she appears to be falling into. Excellent writing, thank you for sharing. |
themelancholysiren chapter 9 . 6/7/2021 Welp. This was brilliant. Terrifying, brilliant. |
LittleWonder83 chapter 9 . 11/19/2020 So I came here via Pika and Lixxle's work, after being sucked into Laby fan fiction by Viciously Witty's stories, and Dear God, this was not what I expected at all when I went traipsing down the Labyrinth fan fiction rabbit hole. Of course that would be my own fault for not noticing tags, etc. And still, this was amazing! Utterly terrifying too, but then that would be the point. I cannot say that I love Evil!Jareth the way I love arrogant, trickster, but ultimately smitten Jareth, but I can say that my visceral response to this story was insane. Very well done! Growing up I used to love reading Stephen King's work and somewhere along the way I sort of wandered away from it. Your writing has reminded be how much I love the genre (and apparently being unnerved for fun!?). Thank you for sharing! |
melinamia chapter 9 . 7/30/2020 Precioso, maravilloso, encantador, me atrapaste desde el primer capítulo y me llevas hasta ese final, Wou, ame tu fic |
startraveller776 chapter 9 . 6/3/2020 Just as intense and twisted as I remember. I need to go watch a Hallmark movie in order to recover! Lol. Fantastic work. Simply fantastic! |
startraveller776 chapter 8 . 6/3/2020 OMG I FORGOT THAT AARON WISHED HER AWAY! |
startraveller776 chapter 3 . 6/2/2020 I am simply speechless over how genius this story is. I might have gagged when Sarah kissed him after the dream, though. Lol. |
startraveller776 chapter 2 . 5/21/2020 Oh, Sarah! Don't do it! Don't make a deal with him. (Of course she will. Because a kid's well-being is on the line.) I just love your portrayal of this dark, disturbing Jareth so much. His turns of phrase are just *chef's kiss* |
startraveller776 chapter 1 . 5/20/2020 (Here's hoping that I can review again.) This is one of my all-time favorite labyfics! It's been a few years, but oh, how deliciously disturbing this is. I absolutely love how you characterize Jareth here. And Sarah! She's wonderfully human. Likeable but flawed. |
RatherFabulous chapter 9 . 3/15/2020 And it was a bitter end, but she's not on a level playing field here. Surely God will extend his forgiveness for those who fight and fight and fight. |
RatherFabulous chapter 8 . 3/15/2020 Hoo, boy...well. Nice, NICE imagery. If you poke a curl of smoke, no matter how gently, it will, inevitably, affect the paths that other curls of smoke are on - and good luck, predicting that. It may well go right into your eyes. |
RatherFabulous chapter 6 . 3/15/2020 Reading this fic has me hearkening back to things like the moving wall in "Devil's Advocate", Greg Bear's "Infinity Concerto", Neil Gaiman's works, and even older literature, such as the original stories collected by the Brothers Grimm. (Very hard sledding, that.) Lovely shiny apples with corruption beneath the surface, the truth of the Sidhe. Where have all the High Elves gone? They all live in Middle Earth honey. And we are here...perhaps they only ever lived within us. All over the world, we find stories of human temptation and the disrupt between human expectations of the Other and their reality. Really, it's rude to travel to a foreign land and expect them to know and honor YOUR rules. |
zi3l chapter 9 . 2/16/2019 BITTER END YEAH. You seduced me here with whispers with plot and nerve-raising emotions and you delivered, you delivered SO WELL, but you also left me here to rot. Your writing is brilliance, and this is a nerve racking, one hell of a ride, I can't do you justice (why do I try) and aaaaaaaaaa |
zi3l chapter 8 . 2/16/2019 OH SHIT OH NO WHAT THE SHIT HEY WHAT No NO no NO NO NO BOGDAMMIT (I am ensnared in this and I'm getting WAY too emotionally invested) |
