Drabble: Defeat 1/1

[starlit_desires]

Okay to be honest I've been playing around with the idea of Labyrinth fanfic since last summer. I've even tried writing some, I just haven't posted any until now. I wrote this last year around November and I've finally worked up my courage to post it. If you haven't seen the movie Labyrinth with David Bowie, go rent it. It's a good little fairy tale of a movie.

Title: Defeat

Author: Sweetness (aaronlisa@gmail.com)

Pairing: implied Jareth/Sarah

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: Labyrinth belongs to Jim Henson and company.

Notes: My first Labyrinth inspired drabble.

 

            The Goblin King howled in defeat and rage. It was unbelievable that a slip of a girl had managed to defeat him. In the many human centuries that he had been the master of the Labyrinth and the Underground, none had ever come close to defeating him. Few had even attempted his Labyrinth. And he had been so certain that despite her fire and her intelligence that she would be unable to defeat his Labyrinth, much less him. Yet she had not only defeated the Labyrinth but she had managed to resist him. And now she was celebrating her victory with his minions. He had done everything that he could possibly due to ensure that he would win. Yet she had survived her “dangers untold.” He threw the crystal ball that he had offered her against the stone wall in his rage. And now this slip of a girl, who had defeated him, had power over him. She might not know it quite yet, but sooner or later she would find out.

Very very nice fic! I just saw Labyrinth for the first time yesterday and I adored it and this is just what I think Jareth would have been thinking as he looked in on the party at the end of the film. Lovely drabble :)

Thanks. I love that movie with a passion. There was one summer just after it came out in the 80s where I watched it all the time! Then I bought the DVD last year. I don't watch it every day but it's a "Comfort movie" for me.

Yeah, I know just what you mean, if I'd ever seen this before it would definitely been that type of movie for me, just like The Wizard of Oz and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are! As it is, I really want to get some alone time with the TV to see it again :D

I don't blame you at all!
