(I hope this is okay! I had this idea and thought it would be cool to have a vampire Lucy with Jekyll for Halloween!) It had happened so fast, this encounter with a most mysterious stranger, before Lucy had awakened in almost a fog like state. She felt weak and her throat was extremely sensitive and sore. Whatever she had done last night had been more fierce than her normal clientele. Feeling as though she needed help, Lucy went to the one person who promised to help her- Dr. Jekyll.

Jekyll hadn’t left his lab in weeks.  He was so close to a breakthrough, he couldn’t bear to leave his work behind.  Yet when Poole announced that the lovely young lady from the Red Rat was at his doorstep, he raced up from the cellar.  His hair was a mess and it looked like he hadn’t been sleeping, but his blue eyes were still bright.  “Miss Harris.  It’s lovely to see you again.  What can I do for you?”

The pitter patter of rain distracted the bell ringer from his friend momentarily, the smell of wet stone filling the tower.

“You’re welcome to stay until it stops,” he offered to the girl behind him.

“Not every magic potion is bad.” Sally said to the new witches in Halloween Town.

“Ours are!” Sarah chirped  There was nothing better than the thrill of being evil .  "Of all the witches working, we’re the worst!“ she sing-songed, earning a slap from her eldest sister.

Snape hoped that Lily was right, but making friends had never been his strong suit.  It was one of the biggest reasons he cherished their friendship so much.  He gently held her hand, “Lily, you will make so many friends.”  He glanced over at her, “Of course we will always be friends no matter what.  I’m positive that we’ll be in the same house though.”

Severus frowned and looked out the window.  There wasn’t much that could be said to comfort her.  Despite all the changes in the world, muggles were still looked down upon by many.  “They’d have to be a fool to deny your talent after you’ve had the chance to prove yourself.”  He glanced back at her, “Yes, I’m nervous.  I know you though, so it’s not too bad.”

Esmeralda knew that her dear friend was deaf, so when it was safe to venture back into Notre Dame without being seen, Esmeralda hurriedly made her way up the belltower. Once inside safely, she pushed the cloak off her face and reached for one of the ropes, connected to the bells. Ringing it as softly, but with force as she could to get his attention, she waited for Quasimodo to come down and find her.

Quasimodo felt the vibrations of the bells.  With the dexterity of a monkey, he swung down from the rafters to meet the visitor.  His single eye lit up with joy when he realized who had come to him.  "Esmeralda!“ he croaked.  "You’re back!”

"My name is Bloody Mary," Mary purred, "Perhaps you have heard of me? I've been told you can help me track down a particular man in New Orleans."

She realized a piece of her long, dark hair had fallen into her eyes and she brushed it away from her face. "I promise you, I mean you no harm."

"Dr. Facilier..." Mary said, in a sing-song voice from behind the mirror. "Dr. Facillier, can you hear me?"

The good witch doctor was listening to the voice, but his mirror- for good reasons, was covered up with a velvet cloth. “Who now calls for the great, Dr. Facilier?”

@mystifyingmuses liked for a Snape starter.

“Lily, there’s nothing wrong with you being a muggle.  I’m only a half-blood, so it’s just another thing that we have in common.  If they don’t see that than they don’t deserve to be your friend.”  The young wizard offered a smile to the other, hoping to quench some of her nerves.

         “Well, you should learn to control your temper!” Sarah lashed out at the Goblin King, crossing her arms as she looked away from him. This wasn’t exactly how she imagined seeing him again, a poof of glitter on the floor in the middle of the stage she had been rehearsing on.  

He hadn’t meant to snap at her.  The stakes were just so high that he didn’t have the time to listen to what a monster he’d been.  He needed her to go with him.  The longer he stood here arguing, the worse his kingdom got.  He was already unsure if he’d even be able to get back to the Underground.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, the Goblin King’s ability to handle his own emotions still left much to be desired.  “Perhaps you should choose your auditions more carefully, lest you accidentally summon one of your nightmares,” he retorted, eyes narrowing.

I’m horrible with Pokémon... but a cute one with Sarah/Jareth or Shilo/Graves???

{I was thinking some of our Disney girls, actually!}

He laughed at that, the evil look replaced with the softer smile that only she could bring to his face. “Sorry. You just make it so easy.” She may have hated wearing her heart on her sleeve the way she did, but it was one of the reasons he liked her. Even after everything she’d been through, she still had an innocence about her that was like nothing he’d ever seen. “It’s not a bad thing, you know,” he added.

mystifyingmuses‌:

“That’s a lot coming from you.” Shilo smirked a little, but she kissed the tip of his chin, as she nestled back down against his naked chest. The woman was warming up against his skin and she prayed their clothing would be too. But it was nice to feel his chest against her back like this- it was incredibly intimate without being overly sexual. Just a different kind of connection.

The GraveRobber lowered his head to press an entirely chaste kiss to her lips.  “Yeah, well, I almost lost you today.  Again.”  If there was ever a time for ‘a lot,’ it was now.  She’d scared the hell out of him.

Another rush of magic swept through Jareth. This one wasn't as strong, meaning it was just a fraction of power being released from its source. But almost all of his magic had been held by his mother. The only exception was....

"Sarah!" he breathed into the gloomy darkness.

"Sarah... trouble?" Ludo asked.

Jareth didn't answer. He'd made her a promise, and he wouldn't leave here until Toby was at least out of this dreadful place. But it didn't make it easier to stand powerless as Didymus struggled with the lock.

mystifyingmuses‌:

Sarah knew this wasn’t gojng to be easy, as she concentrated and summoned a crystal. The High Queen looked appalled. “Where did you get that magic from?”

Sarah kept quiet as Starlena formed a ball of light, “This has to end, Mother…” she said defiantly, “This kingdom belongs to Jareth.”

——

A battle raged on as Sarah and Starlena fought the High Queen… but they were getting tired and there was only so much magic Sarah could make.

“I would have expected more from you, Starlena… you’re exactly like your brother… I should have gotten rid of you too.” Snarled the Queen, sending a shaft of iron through her daughters stomach, sending the princess down to her knees.

“Starlena!” Cried the mortal, coming to her side, “What can I do?” She asked frantically, as the princess pushed Sarah weakly. “Don’t… just… get the staff…”

All four of the search party staggered when a tremor rocked the Labyrinth.  “Something’s happened,” Jareth breathed, suddenly horrorstruck.  He couldn’t feel the Labyrinth’s thoughts anymore, but he knew it well enough to know it was upset.  “Lena.  Sarah.”  Gods, he hated not being able to find out what happened.

Sarah’s friends shifted uncomfortably.  “There’s no time for that now.”  Hoggle’s voice shook as he spoke.  “We’re almost there.  But it ain’t pretty.”

And it wasn’t.  When they reached the deepest chamber of the oubliette, they found a boy so malnourished his hair was falling out in clumps.  His skin was so pale it was almost green, clinging to his cheekbones.  His breath was so faint that Jareth almost didn’t see it.  The Queen hadn’t even bothered to chain him.  There was no point.

Jareth gazed at Toby through the iron bars separating his tiny cell from the rest of the oubliette.  Fury rushed through him.  “I hope Sarah tears her apart,” he growled.  He couldn’t entertain the thought that anything had happened to her.  “One of you has to get through this door.  I can’t touch it.”  She’d used iron for a reason.
