Author has written 10 stories for Labyrinth.

(I never know what to put in a profile, so please forgive me.)

Hi, and welcome to the home for our Labyrinth fic. Sarai is the joint pen name of two fanfic writers who usually hang out in another fandom, but we got bitten by a plot bunny, and Draw Your Swords is the result. There will probably be other one-shots later on, but Draw Your Swords is going to be the 'origin story' for our 'verse, and should be read first. We'll try not to make it too absurdly long, although we're known for half-a-million-word epics elsewhere.

Stories will generally be rated Teen for themes and language, but if the content requires an M, the story's rating will be changed when said content is posted.

Chapters will be posted at least once per week, though it may be more often. Reviews are very much appreciated.

We ship Jareth and Sarah, once she is of age. Jareth might argue that for most of his lifetime, fifteen-year-old humans would already be married with a child or two, but Sarah is a thoroughly modern woman who has definite ideas about age of consent and looks down her nose at patriarchal bullcrap.

We play fast and loose with fae mythology and folklore; it's fiction, so why not invent our own worlds?

Our canon sources are the 1986 movie, first and foremost; A.C.H. Smith's novelization thereof; and the various art books by Brian Froud and Terry Jones. We do not use the manga Return to the Labyrinth.

Also, the co-author has created a soundtrack of sorts over at 8tracks, if anyone is interested: kalalanekent is the handle.

Enough yakking from me, head on to the story. We hope you enjoy it!

ten thousand cuts by Nagia reviews
Sarah stands quietly at his side, skin cold as his, her breath as slow as his, and yet he senses the tension that thrums through her. She's strung herself tight. She is, Jareth realizes with a sort of dim horror, listening. And she's listening closely.

And My Kingdom as Great reviews
Sequel to Draw Your Swords. Sarah and Jareth explore the ramifications of her last run in Umardelin's Labyrinth. Work/life balance is even more important to a social worker when your unexpected second job is up-and-coming Queen of the Unmastered. Welcome to the wider world of the Fae, which isn't just confined to the Underground - much to Sarah's dismay.

Draw Your Swords Prequel: Alone Among the Wreck reviews
Jareth sure doesn't seemed thrilled with his role or his rule in the movie. So how did an arrogant fae end up ruling over a capricious kingdom of goblins? And how did he become the king we know and love in the Draw Your Swords 'verse? This fic is the answer. It could be subtitled, How the Goblin King Got His Labyrinth.

You, A Violent Desire reviews
Sarah dreams about the Labyrinth. She dreams about the ballroom, that waltz, and the arrogant king who is too handsome for her own good. And when teenage love turns out to be rather lacking, she dreams of more... Smut with plot significance.

Draw Your Swords reviews
15 years after the events of Labyrinth, Sarah Williams believes she has her life well in hand: a career that speaks to her deepest heart, close relationships with most of her family, a New York loft all her own. What more could one ask? Well, maybe the answer to where a child in her care, missing under the most unusual and familiar circumstances, might have gone...
