||Jareth x Sarah||
•a short Labyrinth fanfic•
Based on the "As The World Falls Down" music video.
A much older Sarah Williams remembers her adventure in the Labyrinth so long ago, it seemed to her. She finds herself thinking about that one person who made her life impossible through it: Jareth the Goblin King. Then she finds a feeling deep down inside of her and realizes she kind of... misses him? Well, not 'kind of'... she has a lot of posters and pictures of him pinned on her room's walls. So, no. Not 'kind of'.
An un-aged but empty-hearted Jareth remembers Sarah's adventure in the Labyrinth so long ago, it seemed to him. Ever since she beat him all those years ago he's been trying to find her, to no result at all. Every time he hears a weird sound, he rapidly turns his head around to see if it's her, but every time he gets disappointed because she doesn't appear. In his chamber he has a big poster of her, dressed in the ballgown she once wore...
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
OR
Y/n wakes up in the deadly Squid Game, surrounded by strangers and fighting to survive. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Frontman is watching her every move through the cameras- and she's caught his attention.
