I loved this. My favourite part was Harry describing how it feels to wear those tights,  ha ha. You do Butcher's voice so well yet it is still distinctively yours.

Thank you! :) I tried to think of the worst non-lethal thing Jareth could do to Harry... tights and a mullet just about fits the bill.

That was wonderful! Your stories flow so well, and the imagery is always fantastic. I especially liked Jareth's interactions with Harry. Oh, and the epilogue was perfect. :)

Oh, thank you! Sometimes I've just worked on a fic too long and I've lost all perspective on whether or not it flows well, so I'm relieved to hear it. :-}

Peace and quiet! Priceless! (Especially in the Goblin Kingdom)

Harry's discomfort at the magical makeover was a delight to read. At least he didn't end up in heels. And I'm glad the Labyrinth is doing better with Sarah.

It's priceless everywhere, but especially the Goblin Kingdom. ;D

ZOMG, so much love for this (just like part one). The tone is just right, and my heart squeed at the LotR and Narnia references. Also, the Labyrinth embodied is just spectacular. Also goblins skinny dipping in the punch bowl. Just sayin'.

[dmacabre]

Thank you. ;D I had fun imagining the Labyrinth as a person and trying to work in geeky references. Butcher is so much better at that, though!

This is so great. Poor Harry, subjected to Jareth's fashion sense. (and hair!) I loved Jareth's need for complete control over the situation. Very surprised by the Labyrinth's reappearance, but the moment in the cave was beautiful.

Harry definitely chose the perfect gift for Sarah. And I loved being able to see a bit of Jareth and Sarah together at the end.

Thanks! I figured I had to throw in some J/S, otherwise it's more a Dresden Files fic than a Labyrinth one. :-}
