the-name-is-hoggle

Hoggle can only make a dry sort of snort when Mars mentions the possibility of him “blowing up” and can only raise an amused brow at her. Really, the places his friend’s mind went to….

“I have no intention of doin’ this only part of the way, I made a promise ta get the task done…..”

Abundance and Warm Light, huh? And birds? Hoggle was alright with birds- except owls. They reminded him of Jareth…..

Leaving that thought aside, Hoggle put his focus towards trying out his new powers again. Looking around the area they were in for a good spot to start when directed by Selva to begin.

“Okay….grow some plants…..”

The dwarf nods and picks a spot of grass that just feels right to starts. His hands move reflexively with his focus as Hoggle 'reaches’ out mentally to the environment around him. Almost immediately the wild flowers and even the grass itself in that patch start to quickly grow larger and wilder. The path of Hoggle’s focus could be tracked easily because of this, with each new bush or tree that would suddenly rise up would be in the ever growing “path” made of sweet fluffy grasses and colorful blooms.

=========

Meanwhile, in a certain dusty library, the Goblin King had been making quite a bit less progress than the Spring Prince. At least, it felt like he’d gotten nowhere to Jareth. Despite having been searching through books for several hours at this point.

“-Garnish with fresh herbs or croutons and serve immediately- Dammit! This is just another worm cookbook! With yet another recipe for Turnip Soup!”

Comes the frustrated huff, Jareth idly tossing away a tiny book he had been reading with the help of a magnifying glass. He was several haphazardly filled bookshelves deep at this point and still had a lot more to go. With a sigh he reaches for the next book, of a more regular size this time, and opens it up.

Outside the Library in the hallway, Beetleglum took the time to check on his King. Watching Jareth grumble away as the man remained focused on his task, the point of which the older goblin wasn’t completely sure about…..

His attention is stolen away by the arrival of Yumika’s messenger fairy, he quickly heads over to some random quiet room before taking the missive. Offering the fairy a bit of fruit for her trouble before opening it up.

He reads it a few times, processing what the kitsune’s words meant.

Hoggle had actually made it to Summer. He’d made it to the Summer Realm and presumably was in the middle of gaining every segment of power that the ruler, Selva Roja, had been custodian of.

Beetleglum felt both proud of the dwarf as well as concerned. Hoggle had now crossed the point of no return in his mission, the former groundskeeper would have to see this business until the very end.

Or die trying.

’Drink something cool and stay in the shade, your lovely fur must feel like a lot there.

Hoggle will succeed, he doesn’t give up on things.

Jareth looks for something in the Labyrinth Library, I am not sure exactly what. But I know it’s related to Hoggle and Spring Realm.’

Beetleglum doesn’t bother with trying to write a Haiku back as his reply, though he does make an effort for his writing to be neat and evenly spaced. With no smudges of ink or splotches from the quill. Once it’s dry he rolls the parchment back up and hands it over to the waiting fairy.

“Go, go!”

He tells her, opening the window and watching her fly away.

adara-of-the-flame

And, the world...bloomed.

Mars had seen this before, with Hoggle's other endeavors of using his new gift: the flower that caught her, the fruit grove. Yet this...was the first one to truly feel like a specticle. This was Hoggle's A-Game.

And, he was killing it.

For a sweet, frangrant, swathe of a moment, the half-Urru truly felt like a fairytale princess, in the center of a garden being shaped by the gentle hand of the world's best conductor.

Selva Roja whistled, and bent down her enormous head to literally sniff the roses. "Very nice." She congradulated. "Very full, very fresh. A perfect bounty of new life." Her manicured nails clacked together pensively. "Now, kill it."

"WHAT?" Mars practially fell backwards off her seat.

"You heard me. " The Summer Queen swept her massive hand over the grandure of Hoggle's creation. "All this life, but no death. All birth. All wake, but no rest."

"But, Spring is for wake! It's literally everything waking up after the thaw!"

"Yes, but does the hyacinth bloom all year long? Does the tulp? No. After their job is done, they return to their rest. After Spring, comes Summer. Then, Autumn, then Winter. Do you understand this, Hoggle?" Selva Roja's voice was not harsh. "This is a hard lesson we all must learn. Death is part of the Cycle. Something must end for something else to begin.

"Are you able to do this, Hoggle Primavero? Can you take it all back, let it sleep? Will you allow me to take my part in the Cycle?"

----------------------------------

Yumika sighed as she read the letter. Of course the Stolen Babe was looking for answers. It was only a matter of time before peices of the Owl King's past were brought to light.

Shaking her head, the kitsune took Beetleglum's advice and hopped down off her perch long enough to buy an iced, blackberry drink from a nearby vendor. It...did cool her off.

Her reply would be longer this time:

Don't know what he'd find. Fae contracts are spoken words. Jareth should know that.

Most contracts anyway...

Yumika sucked in her breath. Well, Noctus Labrynthus wasn't foolish enough to hide that peice of information in the Library anyway. More than likely the old owl destroyed it after....

Anything he wants Will not be there anyway. Owl King was smarter.

The Bog was given When Hoggle was Maiden-kissed. Tell me the story.

She swallowed, before adding a final, cautious post script:

If you can.

A blackberry was given to the messenger fairy for her trouble before being shooed off.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the stench of this terrible blog…bleck!”

AN: Happy Valentine's Day! The annual Jareth fic is here!

The goblins bowed as I walked by, scattering as I made my way to the throne room. There was babbling and laughter coming from the room. Jareth looked up at me as I walked in, a big smile on his face as he looked away from his son.

"So that's where you two got up to." I teased as I walked over. Jareth handed me Tobey before pulling me into his lap. I laughed as he wrapped his arms around the two of us. "Jareth!"

"Oh come come now." He teased as he pulled me in for a kiss. Tobey made a noise and Jareth leaned past me to kiss his head. "And one for you too." He whispered, running his knuckle over Tobey's cheek. Tobey babbled as he tried to grab Jareth's finger. "What have you been up to today?" He asked, smiling at Tobey babbled happily.

"Nothing much." I shrugged. "I went out to visit Sir Didamus. It appears that a few of the goblins have been venturing out beyond the bog. Something about a babe." Jareth looked at me worried.

"A babe?" He asked. I nodded. "Banished? Or abandoned?"

"The goblins say banished. But no one has come to claim her." I said, brushing my hand over Tobey's hair. "Not much older than Tobey." Jareth looked at the baby in my lap. "Oh I know that look. Don't give me that look." I said, laughing as Jareth turned his gaze to me. "We are not taking on another one."

"Why not?" He asked. "You and I both know Tobey would be dead if we hadn't gone to get him. And so will this little one."

"Jareth..." I started.

"Darling, I promise. It will not be a burden." He squeezed my side gently. One of the goblins came by to take Tobey from me. I sighed as I handed him over. "If we have to, I will take her back to her world. I promise. Make sure she goes to someone who will cherish her."

"You said that about Tobey." I laughed as he took my hand, urging me to lead him where the goblins had hidden the baby. "And look where he is." Jareth flushed red as he looked at me.

"Can you blame me though?" He asked. I playfully rolled my eyes.

"I do admit...you fill the role of father very well." I said, squeezing his hand. Jareth smiled at me as we moved through the castle. “It’s just on the outskirts of the city.” I said as the goblins opened the door for us. “Hoggle came to take care of her while I came to get you.” Turning the corner, I nodded to hoggle as he brought the baby over.

“thank you hoggle.” Jareth said as he took the child. “So what are we going to do?” I sighed as I looked at him.

“go on then. Name her.” I waved at him. “I know I won’t win that argument so go on then.” Jareth leaned over and kissed me.

“thank you.” He whispered. I cupped his cheek as he smiled at me. “Let’s take her to meet her brother.” I nodded as I looped my arm through his as we headed back to the castle.

LABYRINTH ( ii ) - gr63

pairing . . . george russell x fem!reader summary . . . you never actually meant to wish your brother away. but if you wanted him back, you'd have to travel to the goblin king's castle and retrieve him. But maybe you don't go back, maybe the goblin king entices you, and you have to make a decision. warnings . . . still the labyrinth!au !! nothing else :) notes . . . this is part 2 of the original post! scroll to the bottom to read part 1 if you havent yet <3 also, like one use of "(name)" in this entire thing

━━━━━━━ THE WALK THROUGH to the labyrinth was the easiest part. You had found that the only easy part was walking to the labyrinth and staring at it. At the edge of the labyrinth, your eyes fell upon a goblin that was turned to a small pool of water.

"Excuse me? Excuse me!" You called out, stepping forwards as the goblin quickly zipped up his pants and turned to you, he was... disturbing, to say the least. But you had to adjust to the faces of the goblins, this was the way Goblin City anyways - or, at least, you hoped.

"Oh," his voice was loud and raspy as he turned to you, "it's you." he sounded displeased, staring at you from where he stood - which was rather taller than you expected. You were taken aback by his rudeness, but shook it off in a second.

"i have to get through this labyrinth. Can you help me?" You asked, watching as he picked some weird contraption up, scanning the air quickly before finding a small flying... fairy? Fairies were real?

"Oh, how sweet." The goblin turned from you, spraying a fairy before counting - "Fifty-seven!" and moving on.

"How could you?" you gasped loudly, rushing towards the fairy and cupping it into your hands, "Poor thing." you cooed, glaring at the goblin a second later.

"You monster!" You accused him, your face morphing into one of anger. A sharp stinging pain shot through your hand - "It bit me!" you cried out, dropping it out of surprise. You began slowly walking after the goblin, cradling your injured hand in your chest.

"What did you expect fairies to do?" The goblin seemed amused, waddling onwards in a line.

"I thought they did nice things, like granting wishes." You thought back to the countless childhood stories, Peter Pan, Cinderella, all of them. Fairytales had painted the creatures as sweet and beautiful things that helped people and did good things, not bite people and be mean.

"That shows what you know, doesn't it?" He snickered, "fifty-eight!" left his lips as he sprayed another fairy. He was an unkind goblin, and it irritated you. You'd been frustrated enough today, George and your brother, your evil stepmother, and your mean father.

"You're horrible." You snarled, your hands dropping to your side. This was pointless, all of it was. You hadn't even gotten into the labyrinth, and you already wanted to turn around, forget Toby, and run away forever.

"No, I'm not. I'm Hoggle." Hoggle finally gave his name, you rolled your eyes without a problem. "Who are you?" He didn't seem like he'd meant it, he seemed like he wasn't even listening to anything you were saying.

"(name)." You answered, folding your arms over your chest and continued after Hoggle.

"Thats what I thought - fifty-nine!" He muttered, spraying the next fairy he saw.

"Do you know where the door is?" You were hopeful he'd finally answer you, but, as you expected, he didn't. He remained impossible to get any straight answer from, and it made you even more upset than before.

"Maybe." He answered.

"Well, where is it?" You hopefully asked again.

He didn't answer you, continuing to walk before being bit by a fairy, he exclaimed a small "Oh, you little..." before spraying it and counting it - it was his sixtieth fairy of the day.

"Where is it?" You were more restless than before, glaring at his back as you continued after him.

"What?" He was clueless.

"The door." You deadpanned, expecting the answer.

"What door?" He responded.

"It's hopeless asking you anything!" You cried out, throwing your hands up and your head back in anguish. You were losing time over this, and if he was to be no help, you would just... forget about Toby.

"Not if you ask the right questions." He continued forwards, the complete opposite of this conversation.

"How do I get into the labyrinth?" you finally asked after letting his response flow through your head a few times.

"Now that's more like it. You get in..." He scanned the wall before pointing, "there." when you grinned and followed where his finger was pointing, he spoke up again - "Are you really going in there?" He asked.

You nodded, "Yes, I'm afraid I have to." you sighed out the ending of your sentence, you didn't want to do this at all. Thankfully, you at least got your answer.

"Cosy, isn't it?" He tried joking, because now he just seemed sorry for you. Why would he be sorry? He didn't know you, and this was all your fault anyways, if you hadn't been so selfish... if you hadn't been so upset.

"Would you go left, or right?" You decided to ask Hoggle, turning to him after scanning both ways you could go through the labyrinth. "They both look the same." you worriedly add, gently folding your hands together over and over again - a nervous habit.

"You will not get very far." Hoggle told you, shaking his head while staring at you. You found yourself rolling your eyes again - Hoggle the pessimist.

"Which way would you go?" You rephrased your question, hoping for a better decision this time around. When would you learn?

"Me? I wouldn't go either way." Hoggle snorted out of humor, making you scoff.

"If you won't help me, just leave." You groaned, shaking your head.

"You take too many things for granted. Take this labyrinth, even if you get to the center, you'll never get out again." Hoggle muttered, shaking his head this time. He was still irritating you incessantly, making you furthermore upset with him and everyone.

"That's your opinion." You groaned, trying not to lose your cool right then and there.

"It's better than yours." Hoggle sassed instantly.

"Thanks for nothing, Hogwart." You rolled your eyes once more before turning down a path and beginning your venture into the labyrinth, time was of the essence.

"It's Hoggle! And don't say I didn't warn you." He muttered, his voice losing its boost as you walked further away, further away from him, further away from safety, and further away from your perfect sanity.

‘some dogs think this name is no’ chapter 8 ‘fucking tombraider’ behind the text commentary! (spoilers!! but they kinda need context so do whatever u want)

1. IRON STANDARD!! this is my imagining of like a fittes sponsored agent magazine, loaded with fairfax iron ads, splashy rapier photoshoots and the like. lockwood (and to some extent kipps) has this repressed desire to live the life of a top hotshot agent in high society, and getting to do “real” agent jobs is really exciting for him (not that he’d admit it)

2. hadestown reference!! in ‘wait for me’ hermes tells orpheus about the path he needs to take to the underworld, and it’s represented by this subterranean railroad track. that song is huge locklyle vibes so i wanted to draw on it for their own ‘descent into hell’

3. while working on this chapter i was also writing my halloween special labyrinth au so i couldn’t resist adding another reference here. in the movie sarah and hoggle are trapped in a dead end as the cleaners close in, but they find a false door and push it down, falling to safety. my special interests are kinda impossible to keep apart 😭

4. wanted to highlight this moment where lucy defends kipps bc it makes me emo. lockwood & kipps are still in a bad place and adding lucy into the mix is arguably making their relationship worse because lockwood refuses to let kipps be his ally, and kipps is too proud to admit that lockwood is like the only person in the world he cares about….ouch…

realized that if i say there’s going to be supplementary content i must make that content…bon appetite ! chapter 9 out 11/12!!

[subjectsix]

also i realize now how funny it is that my remaining rats are named tobi, ludo, didymus, and hoggle, making tobi seem like he is named in the same theme (labyrinth), but NO. he is named tobias. after agent 47. actually.

[bookishbabe27]

did you know that in the movie the Labyrinth there's a character called Hoggle, but the main girl Sarah keeps mistaking his name and calling him Hogwart. Now the first Harry Potter book was released in 1995 I think, and the Labyrinth was released in 1986.

Hogwart

Hogwarts

Think about it

[lemonine]

oh man sometimes a localization creates a pun so good that explaining it kinda ruins the joke but im gonna try it here anyway

english version: in the town of glitzville, there is a stand ran by mr hoggle, a pig, selling hotdogs

dutch version: in the town of knokwijck*, there is a stand ran by mr schnietz**, selling... knokworsten***

*knokwijck: literally knok + wijk, spelled with ck to make it sound fancy. 'knokken' means fighting.

**schnietz is probably a play on schnitzel, which is commonly made of pork

***knokworst is a play on knakworst, a sausage often eaten in a bun, just like a hotdog, while also including the 'knok' in 'knokwijck'

(goombella also asks if mr schnietz's first name is hans. this would make him a hans worst. this is untranslatable.)

Headcanon: Names

The Underground has a lot of changes. Individuals come and go. For someone who is nigh-immortal like Jareth, it can be a chore to remember the names of every single denizen when they're in the thousands, and many of them look alike or dress similarly.

Because of this, he tends to lean toward not using names when addressing the goblins. For the most part, they know when he is addressing them, even if it was a simple "You". The goblins who work closest with him know to use descriptors when they don't think he'll remember, or when they don't know names and need to relay a message.

An excellent example is with the guard toward the end of the movie, who I have decided is the leader of the guard:

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness, the girl! The girl who ate the peach and forgot everything!"

"What of her?"

"She, the monster, Sir Didymus, and the dwarf, they made it through the gate and they're on their way to the castle!"

The reason for this is actually because he is bad at remembering names. It was something that he struggled with from a young age. If he met someone for a short moment, it was a coin-flip as to whether he would remember it down the line. Ultimately, he decided against honing the skill to remember names unless they were important.

To his credit, he remembers a part of the name. Using Hoggle as the key example, he would know the general 'sound' of the name, but he wouldn't care to put the effort in to remember the exact thing.

If this changes, and he actively remembers your name, take it as a compliment. He deems you worthy to be remembered. Likewise, he'll make an effort when he knows he is dealing with someone important (such as another powerful magical being), or correctly use a name that is so short it would be impossible to deliberately get wrong.

Finally... Please be aware that there is a possibility your muse may be incorrectly named in the narrative. I like writing my third person narrative over my muses shoulder, and having things viewed from their perspective rather than truly neutral.

(Oh, also. This isn't the same as deadnaming. He'd never do that.)

The little man Hoggle

STOP ISN'T THAT THE NAME OF THAT GUY FROM LABYRINTH

[avatarquake]

Something I haven't seen talked about -or if it's been I can't find it, so sorry if this is just me reaching similar conclusions with others, but so much time later- but if we assume that the story in the book is the same as Sarah's journey in the Labyrinth, I think we overlook one particular line; 'But, what no one knew, was that the King of the Goblins had fallen in love with the Girl and had given her certain powers.' Now, this, from the general story can be assumed that happens before the girl runs the Labyrinth in the book and on some extent can be supported by Jareth himself watching Sarah play-acting the book in the park.

Why was Jareth in the park in the first place, when the Right Words are apparently NOT recorded in the book, nor was Jareth's name. The Goblins were the ones to give Sarah the Words and Hoggle was the one to give her the name. Of course invoking the King to 'take this child far away' with that intent, would attract the King and his Goblins, so them being in the room is understandable and expected.

But at the park? Sarah was just having fun. We have no cues to suggest that just play-acting the story is enough to call upon the King and his most unruly of subjects. And him knowing her name from the start, suggests he had been looking over Sarah for a longer amount of time than that evening, enough to at least have heard someone call her by name, which would more than likely had been her father or stepmother, as Irene had implied Sarah was not exactly a very social young teenager (heavily supported by the fact she had chosen her dog, Merlin, to accompany her at her park to act out the rest of the roles with her).

Which leads us back to that line. One reason he was attracted to watch her in the first place is, Jareth's a fae and Sarah could be considered an artist, even if she was just fooling around in the park. She is also a child, another reason a fae would pay close attention to her. A child close to adulthood that still retains the belief and wonder younger children have, in particular. (And so we have this exasperated drama king and a young girl with a flair for the dramatics and an intact belief in the fantastical, and we get a couple of stuck idiots. There are so much better and healthier ways to get to know your dream significant other than wishing your sibling away and bending to the one you try to woo's every each whim to please them so hard it backfires.)

And what of those certain powers the King grants the Girl? The man gives a boon right off the bat, before the two meet, assuming still, that the line is before she wishes her sibling away in the book, like in the events that lead to Sarah's Run. Which might imply that Jareth did the same with Sarah. My take on them is the Faerie Sight, the ability to see and hear the fantastical she still believed in. It was why she could hear the Goblins. At least, that's what I think about the powers Jareth might have given Sarah.

Everyone look at all my creatures

We have Boggle (top left), Hoggle (upside down) Whimple (squid), senshi (bottom left), TBH (bottom right) and my dear daughter in the middle who’s name I have not decided. It might be Winnifred

All of these were created by the same super awesome guy and omg have I got a story for you.

Ok so.

Last week at the dickens fair, where Creature Guy (his name is Amin but idk if we are on a first name basis so I shall call him Creature Guy) has a booth, I purchased Senshi, my fourth creature of his.

(Hoggle and boggle were bought last dickens fair and wimple was a Free Squid that was tossed to the crowd during his bands first ever concert.) (I forgot to mention. He has a band it’s really good it’s called Nekron 99. It like a grungy bog creature rock I love it) (anyway)

While buying Senshi I told him that I loved his band and was the proud owner of a Free Squid. He was very happy to be seen by a fan (70-80 monthly listeners on Spotify so I assume this doesn’t happen often) I said farewell and that I would be returning the following week.

(I was very proud of this. I had known he would be there and had rehearsed what I would say to this man who I think is very cool)

Today. One week later. My birthday. I returned to the dickens fair with the intention of (among other things) obtaining another creature.

I saw TBH and fell in love with them. When I went to purchase them however I was stopped by Creature Guy. He said, “are you who I think you are?” And indeed I was.

Not only was I remembered, I was recognized! Incredibly exciting. He told me that in addition to my purchase of TBH he would give me (!) for free (!!) a one of a kind creature (!!!)

Holy shit

Enter Winnifred. A combination of two different types of creature and the only one of her kind.

He said that he had been saving her for “someone who cared”

Guys I could have started crying right then and there.

Anyway. Im very happy. I have a lot of creatures now and I can’t wait for this guy to release more music

Part 2

I can't remember the last time I didn't have a little shadow with pigtails

It's unnerving being alone with your own thoughts.

Looking around my surroundings it's as if all the plants died but are somehow still living, but who knows it's all magical bullshit anyways.

"57" following the harsh voice "58" it belongs to a man? Maybe? " hello " you call out trying to make yourself known "oh! Who.. oh it's you"

" Do you know me?" He looks me up and down as if he was trying to find a place where he had seen me before " Do I know who" " Sir do you know me?"

Facing me he takes a moment "Sir? No I ain't no sir I'm hoggle" he points a broken finger nail at me " Who are you" pointing back at him you take a moment to think if you should really be giving your name out.

But you give it anyways, slapping your hand away from his. He turns back to spraying something flying by "That's what I thought" looking forward at the labyrinth walls that seemed to have no way to get in "Do you know how I can get into the labyrinth?" I ask quietly

He looks over his shoulder at you " You gets in there" And just like that the wall I was looking at was suddenly a large door into the very labyrinth. "You really going in there? " He looked as if he was almost scared of the place himself "Yea I need to" with that I walked right into the labyrinth.

" dozy ain't it.. now which way would you go" not thinking he followed me in I jumped slightly at his voice "Right…right? That's what I always thought" he looked puzzled at that as if no one had ever given an actual answer " Well I wouldn't go either way"

"Thank you for helping me in hogwash" " It's hoggle!" He stomped out and the doors closed behind him really setting my fate in "Alright let's go "

Walking past branches and rumble it seems as if I haven't gone anywhere. Running doesn't work either, it's like I'm stuck in the same place no matter how far I run "This goes on forever.. how are there no turns" sliding down against the wall with my head in my hands. It's so stupid that I can't find a single turn

" ello" looking to my right there's a little guy who sits with his little scarf "Did you just say hello to me?" A blue worm? Really? "No I said ello but that's close enough" so adorable with his little scarf "Little worm you wouldn't happen to know where the turns are would ya?"

It felt silly to ask a worm, but hoggle had helped me so why couldn't this little guy " There's one right in front of ya" there was? "Come inside meet the missus?" " Oh no I can't but thank you truly "

Standing up as I put my hands out just in case I fall through something. And sure enough there was a hidden turn " Thank you so much little fella " I nod my head going towards the left "Hey hang on don't go that way" oh yea that's right always go right " Truly thank you again" giving him a half smile i head to the next part

Honestly everything about this place is just strange

And even stranger things were happening in the castle that lived at the center of the goblin city's

Jareth sat upon his curved throne deep in thought while the goblins around him tried their best to calm the sobbing young girl sat in the middle of the throne room.

Looking towards the poor girls red face as she tired wiping them as fast as the ran down her face. And finally taking pity on the child he stands and takes steps till he is at arms length with her "What has you so troubled little one?"

He asks crouching down brushing away the stray tears that fall faster, as Evie tries to get any words out she just breaks down even harder. Hiccups follow with mixed words that not even the goblins can understand.

Jareth not sure of what to do picks the small child up and holds her close to his chest "Things will be alright you're with your brother and sisters now petal" but his words did in fact not help in the slightest they actually made the sobs worse

Tiny hands clenching his shirt with a tight grip her wails grow louder. Sighing Jareth looks to any of his subjects for help, he hasn't had to deal with a child that could talk in ages usually it's small babes. Even the children the same age as the one in his arm didn't cry this much.

"Little one you are safe here I promise you" turning back towards his throne Jareth sets the girl down "You know what ? You remind me of someone" looking at him witn sad doe eyes waiting for him to speak while she tries to catch her breath

The goblins around start rushing to set something up as Jareth walks back to the center of the room pointing back at the girl "You remind of the babe" gaining the curiosity " The babe?" Evie asks through shaky breath and sniffles.

Jareth rushes to girl grabbing her hands in his as he dances her to a set of goblins who grab the girl and bounce around with her. Her sobs turning into giggles as goblin after goblin take turns dancing around the room with her singing with the king who also dances with them.

Back to a poor mother worried sick about her small child

Hearing Evie's cries I head towards the castle as fast as I can, but everything looks the exact same. Looking through my pockets I pull out kid lipstick from Evie's play makeup set "This is just going to have to work thank you Evie for sneaking things into my pockets" putting an X in the direction I was going next. Wait I've already gone this way? Didn't I? Turning around was another dead end "Wait wasn't this clear just a second ago? "

"No that was always a dead end " turning back the dead end I had just been at now showed two doors with dog like things? But there were four. One on the top and one upside down " how am I supposed to find Evie if everything in this damned labyrinth keeps changing " as the two dogs look at each other and back at me as if it was stupid to ask them

"Well there's only one way out of here and it's through one of these doors" " But one them leads straight to the castle at the center of the labyrinth and the other leads to… Certain death" the one below him added some noise for drama which was silly but not fun "So can you tell me which is which"

" uh we don't know" looking at them dumbfounded. That really had worked for me so far " But they do" the pair on the bottom say to the top " So can you tell me?" Shaking their heads "No you can't ask us, you can only ask one of us" nodding along the blue one quickly jumped in" yes, it's in the rules….but i should warn you, one of us always tells the truth and one of us always lies that's a rule too, he always lies" I'm sorry? As they argued I try thinking of how to loophole all of this.

Maybe I could tell the hot goblin king I liked his unique hair? "Oh! Would the blue one tell me that this door leads to the castle?" Looking at each other then back at me " Um yes?" Ok I think I can figure this out "So that means this door leads to death and his leads to the castle? No? "

"How do ya know that? He could be telling the truth" " Yes but then you would be lying and the doors would still be the same" walking towards the blue door getting ready to push it " See it works no matter what, you always go to the right" pushing it felt really good knowing I would soon be at the castle but really I should have known that nothing in the place makes any sense

Falling down the dark hole with a bunch of rough hands grabbing at you. Only to hold on with a rough grip just to let go. Pleading calling for anyone to help you from falling

" Who are you calling for" anyone really "I just don't want to fall down" it's like the stuff of nightmares, bathed in darkness with only the dim light from where I fell through " We are helping" it's grip hurting my wrist and my ankles "We're helping hands" there's laughing all around me again. Shivers are sent up my spine at the creepy way the hands keep forming faces "You're hurting me" the hands lessen their grip just slightly "Would you like us to let go"

Then before I can say no I'm falling again "No No Please" then I'm still once again "Which way would you like to go" looking around it's either up or down "Like going down?" Before I can think of what I've said there's laughing again "You chose down" more of that god awful laughing "Wait what do you mean" I say in a panic "She chose down?" As I go to grab any of the hands to stop myself from falling

falling down twice as fast as before. The nails of the hands digging into my skin cutting me before letting go and just as fast as the panic comes and swarms my mind I hit the ground with a dull thud.

And with that the second part to this story is done. This one has been done for a long time but I really wanted to make sure that I felt like this part worked well enough as the last chapter that really followed the og script.

And yes sorry this chapter is small I kinda wanted to get out of the per set stuff and into the angst and stress of the other ones.

The next one will have theme's of claustrophobia and overs but that one is hopefully going to be out way sooner than this one.

And there will hopefully be more Jareth and his pov.

But really this story will now mostly be it's own timeline and have its own kinda world building with characters. But it will keep to the og world that the labyrinth takes place in.

I wonder what the idea behind the phrase "piece of cake" triggering A New Struggle™ is. Is there an in-universe reason, like a warning not to get cocky, or was it just a good recurring joke, like no one getting Hoggle's name right?
