Summary
“What is it you wish to know?” she asked quietly.
Jareth hesitated, gathering his words carefully, uncertain of how much to reveal. “I heard something tonight,” he admitted finally, his voice low and guarded, coloured by concern. “Thalric and Tharim were arguing fiercely. Tharim claimed Father was unwell—more than unwell. He spoke as if Father were weak and fading. Is it true? Has he grown so ill?”
Thelren drew in a slow and steady breath, her eyes softening as they searched her son’s face. She saw his earnestness clearly, and the anxious sincerity with which he spoke, the fear he masked beneath layers of bravery and youthful pride. He was strong for his age, powerful in body and growing rapidly into adulthood—yet, beneath it all, he remained her youngest, her heart. She did not wish to burden him unnecessarily.
Yet, neither would she lie.

Summary

Y/n doesn't have the best life. Her mom is abusive, an acholic, and her part time job is barely paying the bills, despite all this, she tries her best to be optimistic, knowing that one day, things will get better.

Summary
13 hours was all Sarah was given to solve the Labyrinth.
13 years was all Sarah was given of her freedom.
It’s only forever, not long at all.At 29 years old, Sarah had put the castle beyond the Goblin City far into her past, but something vital was missing in her life. In the Underground, it was no different. The Goblin King grew weary as the years went on, waiting and agonizing over the return of Sarah Williams, the only Defeater of the Labyrinth, the woman who stole his heart.
The Labyrinth has only awarded her 13 years of freedom in exchange for her beating it, a trivial fact that was never made apparent to her in the chaos of her escape. She is to remain in the Underground as a titled member of the High Fae. In order to gain her freedom, Sarah makes a bargain with Jareth to conquer the darkness, an evil force of magic that has been plaguing the Underground since Sarah had left. If she successfully rids the realm of the darkness, she can go home. But whether she is successful or not, if she falls in love with Jareth, she must stay with him in the Underground as his wife, to rule as queen by his side.
Warning: Contains elements of violence, graphic language, and sexual activities.

Summary
After centuries of persecution and abuse, the Goblins have revolted against the Fae and are currently eking out a rough existence, always just one step away from annihilation. Vesryn Danaaru, former pit fighter and Arena champion, now must lead these people who have claimed him as their King.
But Vesryn knows that he’s not suited to such a task. If the Goblins are ever to thrive as a species, they will need a true King, perhaps even one gifted by the Goddess, to save their people and find them a haven.
Vesryn may not be the King the Goblins need, but he does have a son. A son that shows all the signs of a phenomenal magical power, as if blessed by Danu Herself. And Vesryn’s task, along with his wife Helayne, is to raise their son to be a great warrior, wizard, and protector; to lead their people to a new home, and at last… safety.
Jareth.

Summary
For the last hundred years or so, the fair maidens of the Goblin Kingdom have been coming to Jareth's castle to celebrate Spring Equinox. Their target? To win themselves a King.
Not everyone is happy to have a bevy of beauties descending upon them. Jareth needs a queen but has given up finding one and dreads these yearly events. Randel is happy to romp with the ladies and then move on without any thought to bonding with them. It was ironic that the one man who wanted a life-mate just couldn't seem to find one, not even in a sea of the loveliest ladies in the Kingdom.
But Garthan had no idea that Fate was going to take a hand in his affairs and dangle before him the loveliest lady he'd ever laid eyes on. But... would Jareth and Randel notice her too?

Summary
El pequeño goblin vio la suave sonrisa de la chica y acepto. Ambos se sentaron en un rejunte de
almohadones detrás de la columna con un cuenco de uvas. Sarah lo vio comer atolondrado, con una ternura casi comparable con la que tenía por su hermanito.—¿Qué eres tú? Me llamo Sarah, por cierto.
—Soy Lokkins y soy un goblin.
—¿Y qué haces en un lugar como este, Lokkins?
—Robar comida... hacer travesuras ¿Qué más haría un goblin?La carita indignada de la criatura le saco una carcajada. A Jareth no le quedó más remedio que verla a través de sus cristales mágicos (para no acercase mucho y delatarse) asombrado, y fascinado, por la dulzura y diversión de la joven. Algo en la sonrisa femenina llenaba su interior de paz y un agradable calor en su corazón.
«¿Qué clase de magnifica criatura ha caído en este mundo?»
—Oh, eso suena divertido —la maliciosa expresión le gano un jadeo al soberano—, si tienes a alguien en mente ¿te gustaría un par de manos extras?

Summary
Sequel to As the Hours Pass:
The King of the Seven Realms has taken her niece, forcing Sarah to trek across the realms of the Underground in search for her. And things would be a lot easier if her abilities would only develop, but that would be too convenient.
When Sarah suddenly wakes, tethered to a hospital bed with police stationed outside her door, she's left to wonder how she made it back to the Surface and why her memories are so fractured. She remembers only bits and pieces of the journey to Jareth's childhood realm of Ashfall, the most notable being the intensity of King Silas' gaze, even in death. She's left wondering if his blood is on her hands and what that means for her now that she is Queen of the Labyrinth.
But she's trapped on the Surface and facing damaging accusations from her family. Will Sarah remain strong in her truth, or will she burry it again and risk losing herself, her niece, and Jareth forever?
Though, if she can do all of that, she'll still have Jareth's mother, the Queen of Memories, to deal with.
