(it's like the old days - I return from getting my morning coffee to find a fic in my friendslist, and I cannot contain my glee!)
This is... oooh, this is just delicious. I can see this so clearly.
But magic has its own, particular allure, and he’s nothing if not that Oooooh, YES.
I don't think anyone could blame her for leaving her window open.

I don't think anyone could blame her for leaving her window open. No, not really :-) I'm glad you could see it all so clearly and it's really nice to know that you read this with your morning coffee too, the way you used to do. Thank you so much!

Loved it, especially the part about everyday surroundings emphasizing his otherness. It's one of favorite qualities of the Goblin King... and Bowie, for that matter!

[hereswith]

Thank you! I'm very happy you enjoyed it and that part in particular :-)

Oh, I love this! She can't quite let go, can she? And really, who can blame her?

Your writing is always just gorgeous, and I'm in awe of your talent!

[hereswith]

She does find him alluring, after all. *g* Thank you for reading and for the very kind compliments!

[hope27]

Oh, talk about a treat to come home to! And as usual, it's beautiful and makes me want more of your beautiful writing!

He had asked her to love him. Impossible, at that age. Impossible now, with his gaze on her and the everyday surroundings bringing his otherness full to the fore. Far easier to fear him, always, but she would not and she will not give him that.

I love Sarah's thoughts here. The way she's ready to deny him and yet is fascinated by him. Her stubborn streak also appearing.

It’s on her tongue to tell him. Honestly, it is. But magic has its own, particular allure, and he’s nothing if not that. “For tonight.”

Like someone stated, loved the "particular allure" line. He definitely has that, and she can't completely let him go.

Gorgeous and very much worth the wait! Thank you so much. hon! :)

You liked it! *beams* I'm so very glad, and thrilled you thought it was worth the wait (for which I am once again sorry). She can't completely let him go, no, I don't think she wants to :-) I owe you a comment reply, as well, I'll get to that as soon as I can!

Oh, how I've missed you ♥

This ♥

I love how, even though it's been years for them, it still feels like it's recent---their feelings, still there. And beautifully written into the words. And made even more perfect by the fact that he laughed, 'cause even though he wants her with him and goes to her, he's still Jareth ♥

You're my hero.

[hereswith]

And now you have me all blushing again. You say the kindest things, always. Thank you so much. ♥

I'm glad the laughter rang true for you, as well. As you say, he's still Jareth. *g*
