Summary
It began with silence. Then came the dark.
For the first time in memory, the peoples of the Underground thrive. Once-warring kingdoms now trade in peace. Exploration has revealed hidden realms long lost to myth, opening new paths for diplomacy and prosperity. Hope blooms where there was once only survival. Even the world Above, after centuries of struggle, dares to dream... reaching for the stars.
And they are utterly unprepared.
For beneath the joy and light, something ancient has begun to stir - something cruel, patient, and very, very hungry.
At the center of it all stands Jareth, the Goblin King, heir to a forgotten legacy and bearer of a burden no one yet understands. As unease begins to ripple through the harmony, he and those closest to him must face a growing truth: peace was never the end of the story. It was only the calm before it.
The darkness has waited for an age. Now, it rises - and the fate of two worlds will be decided.

Summary
Sara is working on her Master's thesis one night and checking on her infant niece while she wonders what parents would say to get their babies kidnapped by goblins. The phrase, "I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now," slips out, and suddenly Sara has a whole lot more than she bargained for.
Or. Four times Sara goes to the labyrinth and one time she doesn't.
Shout-out to that Tumblr post that theorized that Sarah Williams wasn't the only Sarah to go through the labyrinth. That Jareth is looking for a woman who no longer exists, who was named Sarah, and trying to bring her to him the only way he can.

Summary
This story is not a story in itself, but a prologue to the one that will be posted next. In order to not screw up the chapter numbering (because knowing me, I’d post the wrong chapter in the wrong order), I decided to release the prologue separately, but it is the first part of the next story.

Summary
After a wild run through the Labyrinth, Sarah Williams thought that magic was behind her. But two weeks later, a small green goblin named Tippy appeared under her bed—and never left.
Now in high school, Sarah secretly shares her life with a band of lovable, chaotic goblins who glamor themselves to blend in but are anything but ordinary. When a loopy dream during a wisdom tooth removal inspires Sarah to write down one of their antics, it sets off a chain of short stories that take her—and her readers—on whimsical adventures full of candy store conundrums, toothpaste terrors, and unexpected heart.
With each tale, Sarah grows not just as a writer, but as a young woman figuring out who she is and what it means to believe in something wonderful, even when the world insists you grow up.

Summary
“Dear Saint Sarah,” Jareth sneers. “The eternal martyr of her own making.”
“That world never belonged to me,” she whispers. “Even then, I was only a child playing pretend…”Sarah has never truly left the Underground behind, and even just over the cusp of adulthood she never lets old dreams die.
Ever the opportunist, the Goblin King seizes his moment to drag buried memories back into the light—and Sarah learns that sometimes the way forward is the way back, and the past she denied may be the one thing neither of them has ever truly let go.
When a gossiping goblin and a very ill-timed bout of jealousy stir up old magic, Jareth arrives furious, fascinated, and far too certain Sarah remembers more than she admits. And the truth Sarah isn’t sure she didn’t choose to forget begins to rise.
A one-shot of
desire, past-life entanglement, and the dangerous gravity between a girl who escaped a kingdom and a king who refuses to let her go.Labyrinth canon banter. Hoggle, Didymus, and goblin chaos. A little smut, a little plot.
Originally a one-shot after rereading Annabel Lee; could be developed depending on response.
J/S, with Hoggle, Didymus, & Co cameos and a Henson-esque goblin OC. -

Summary
In the aftermath of the Fae war, a young Ughlánas child finds comfort in a chicken that pecks his feet, struts like a soldier, and seems far too familiar to be just a bird. To him, it can only mean one thing—his Uncle Crag has come back, just as he’d promised.
What begins as one child’s solace soon spreads through the Creche, until the halls of the Goblin Castle echo with clucking, crowing, and Ughlánas children swearing their loved ones have returned on feathered wings. And when King Jareth himself is confronted with a mob of squawking poultry, he must choose how to answer a kingdom’s grief.

Summary
Five hundred years after the Goblin Rebellion, King Jareth has built a haven from the ashes—a thriving kingdom carved from the Labyrinth, where Goblins, Elves, Dwarves, and refugees of every kind live in peace. But when a Fae scouting party breaches their borders, old fears reignite. The enemy has found them.
As war looms, Jareth must navigate alliances, bitter hatreds, and the ghosts of a past he barely survived. By his side stand Garthan, his cunning Spymaster, and Randel, his fiercely loyal Lord Martial. Brothers not by blood, but by battle.
Victory will demand more than clever tactics and enchanted steel. To secure peace, Jareth must confront the deepest magic of all: the power of legacy, mercy... and choice.
