A New Life by Elissa Alejandra
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Superman/Sarah, Jareth/Sarah
Warnings: crossover
Summary: 'Sarah has been accepted to a prestigious acting academy in the city of Metropolis, where she falls for a new man in her life. But the Goblin King is never far behind...'
>>: This mostly takes place during the movie Superman II. I admit, this was rec'ed more for novelty than quality. However, it's an entertaining read if you like that sort of ridiculousness. The sequel to this story, Guardian, is Batman/Sarah. XD

Galatea by KL Morgan !
Rating: R
Pairing: Jareth/Sarah, Jareth/not!Sarah
Warnings: one-shot, m/f
Summary: 'Even Jareth has his illusions...'
>>: Hmm…I'm not really sure what to say about this other than, read it.

A Forfeit of Dreams by KL Morgan
Rating: R
Pairing: Jareth/Sarah, slight Sarah/OC
Warnings: m/f
Summary: 'If you had a second chance, would you take it? If you had a choice, would you do the right thing? And if you had a dream... What would you give to make it come true?' Jareth lures Sarah back to his world for another run through the Labyrinth, but this time the stakes may be higher than either of them fully realize.
>>: This is a nice, angsty Jareth/Sarah romance. Rather dark around the edges, with splashes of sap here and there for contrast. The sequel is What Dreams Must Come, but it's woefully unfinished and most likely always will be. And on a cliffhanger, of course. Always with the cliffhangers...

Addiction by Edmondia Dantes
Rating: R
Pairing: Jareth/Sarah
Warnings: m/f, one-shot
Summary: She had her own personal demon, and she felt privileged. Most mere mortals had only their deepest fears and humiliations to haunt them on endless nights. She had royalty.
>>: An odd little piece about Sarah after the Labyrinth. Also check out Dia's other Labyrinth story, And The Thunder Rolled.

Six Dreams Before Oblivion Dawns by Alison Harvey
Rating: PG
Pairing: Jareth/Sarah-ish
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: Four years after conquering the Labyrinth, Sarah is preparing to go to college and leave her childhood behind. So why is she seeing Jareth in the faces of strangers?
>>: Beautifully done. Alison Harvey has written some of the best Labyrinth stories out there, so be sure to take a look at everything else on her profile.

Smoke And Mirrors by Alison Harvey
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: future Jareth/Sarah that'll probably never happen, others
Warnings: m/f, incomplete
Summary: Long ago Sarah fell prey to Jareth's charms and chose her dreams over her brother. Now, an older and considerably less naïve member of the Masquerade Court, Sarah's plans for revenge are about to come to fruition.
>>: A somewhat interesting fic filled with court games and political intrigue. There exists the first chapter of a rewrite, To Sever Love From Charity.

Thirteen Hours by Cerebral Seductress !
Rating: R
Pairing: Sarah/Jareth
Warnings: m/f, violence
Summary: Sarah's success in solving the Labyrinth didn't guarantee her success in life. In a moment of desperation she wishes herself back to the Labyrinth, only to find that like the train wreck of her life, it too has declined into ruin. Nevertheless, the rules still apply: she must make her way to the center of the decidedly more deadly and unenchanting Labyrinth within thirteen hours or be forever changed into a goblin.
>>: Well done. Kind of darkly realistic, and in a good way.

Twice Upon A Time by L O K I
Rating: R
Pairing: Jareth/Sarah
Warnings: m/f
Summary: Now send me home. There was a growing ferocity in her eyes, an icy edge to her that was capable of so much. The least of all was standing up to him.
He sighed, placing the peach back amongst the others. Sarah, it is not that simple. Especially now that we are betrothed---
Says who!
To her annoyance he only shrugged, You wear the crown, it is inevitable.
I wouldn't wear your crown if you nailed it to my head!
Of course, he laughed. Laughed at the hostility that was bubbling up inside her, laughed at the determined snap to her eyes. He pointed at her breast and said, You wear it already.

>>: Not a bad bit of writing. Pro: T'was nice to see Jareth honestly pursuing Sarah for once; I've long grown tired of the "I'm the mighty Goblin King; I couldn't possibly have fallen in love with a stubborn mortal girl / be honest about my feelings / be even vaguely straightforward about my intentions" bit that always manages to make Sarah look at least as much at fault as he is, so this is a nice change of pace. Cons: the old 'I can ignore my feelings but not my bodily responses' device was rather overused to keep the story moving without compromising Sarah's character, which I wasn't terribly impressed with. That's just my own opinion, however; it's a popular cliche so I imagine a lot of people must like it.
