(I know it's called a "crop" or whatever but I call it a "switch" so ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคญ)
You were on your knees before the Goblin King.
He tilted his head, a cheeky smirk on his face. Jareth kneeled down on one knee to get on your level. "Oh, how darling you look," he taunted. He always taunted you- lovingly, of course, Jareth wouldn't ever be anything but adoring towards you, albeit his teasing. Giving a playful jab was one of his many ways of showing his fondness (infatuation) with you.
His elbow rested atop his knee, and he leaned in, his lips about an inch and a half from yours. Jareth brought his switch to your right cheek, slowly turning your head away as though getting a good look at you. The switch grazed down your cheek and pressed on the soft underside of your chin, lifting your head to look him in the eyes.
"What a stunning creature you are."

โ™ก Jareth x Fem!Reader Fluff โ™ก
Tumblr media
ย ย I hum quietly as I start to get ready for bed. I smile to myself as I put on my new nightgown that Jareth got for me. I look at myself in the mirror smiling lightly. The light purple color with dark blue accents cascades in silky waves along my skin. God I love him so much. I walk out of the bathroom and frown. He wasn't there. Usually he was there on the bed by this time.
ย ย ย Quietly I leave the room to go look for him. I check his office but it is dark and empty, lit only by a singular candle he kept on his desk. "Weird he isn't there either," I think aloud. I decide to check the only other place I think he could be. His throne room.
ย ย The only noise in the hall is the soft echo of my footsteps as I walk down towards the throne room doors. As I reach the doors I can hear what can only be described as chaos inside.
ย ย I slowly push open the doors and I'm met by loud yelling and- is that a chicken? "Oh y/n, hello dear are you alright?" I look towards the voice and see Jareth laying down across his throne. The room lies silent as every goblin stops what they are doing to look up at me.
ย ย "Yes, I'm fine." I stutter out walking towards him. "I'm sorry I won't be able to stay with you tonight. A boy wished away his little sister and he still has 5 hours left to finish the labyrinth." He sighs clearly bored out of his mind.
ย ย "I see." I mumbled looking down at the floor.
Jareth grabbed my chin and lifted my eyes to meet his. "Is there anything you need my love?" He asks slowly
ย ย "Can I lay here with you?" I blurt out. Quickly turning red and pulling away. Jareth chuckles lightly and looks towards me again. "Of course love, come here." He motioned for me to sit with him.
ย ย I hop up onto his throne and position myself to lay next to him in the same way he was laying on his throne before. He wraps his arms around me and I snuggle into his chest.ย 
ย ย He chuckles again and I smile. He brings his hand up and starts running his fingers through my hair. " I don't think you understand Just how cute you are." I giggle and he plants a kiss on my forehead. I lift my head and look at him then move upwards and give him a gentle kiss on the lips. I pull away and smile. I softly lay my head back down against his chest and sigh happily. I close my eyes and listen to his heart beat as I slowly succumb to sleep in his arms.

In My Sisterโ€™s Place (Part 2 of 2)
Here you are, lovelies! Part 2 ofย โ€œIn My Sisterโ€™s Placeโ€. As always, familiar characters are NEVER mine!
Fandom: Labyrinth
Warnings: A bit of angst, but a happy ending.ย 
Pairings/Characters: Jareth the Goblin King x fem!reader, mentions of Sarah and Toby
Tumblr media
Your eyes burned with tears that you hastily wiped away. First the obelisk, then the ballroom, the fireys fiends, and the Bog of Eternal Stench. You were quickly becoming overwhelmed with the Goblin King's labyrinth. And yet, every time you saw said king, it sent pleasant shivers down your spine and your heart began racing. You weren't sure if it was your hopeless romantic self or if the labyrinth was messing with your mind and heart, but you could feel yourself coming to care for the Goblin King.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย Your mind raced every time you thought back to the ballroom and how he'd held you close to him. How he'd gazed into your eyes. If you hadn't known better, you'd say he cared for you as well. But then you recalled how he had your baby brother and how scared Toby must feel. It set you back on the path and, before you knew it, you had made it into the castle.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย The Goblin King appeared again just as you set eyes on Toby. He practically begged you not to take him. He toyed with you using a never-ending staircase. As you tried to figure out what to do, you came to a realization. Maybeโ€ฆperhaps, the Goblin King was simply lonely. Maybe he longed for someone to love, just like you. And just maybe, you could be that person. You thought and thought, your mind and heart pulling you in separate directions. Eventually, you made up your mind to save Toby and, by extension, your sister's sanity and guilt.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย The ticking of the clock echoed in your ears as you raced to where you were certain the Goblin King and Toby would be. Your legs were shaking and your heart was doing flip-flops in your chest when the Goblin King reappeared yet again. "I've won. I beat the labyrinth," you stated. The king looked pained as he watched you watching him. "Then you know what must be said, precious." You nodded, but before you could speak again, he held up a crystal. "You can stay, you know. Stay and never be worried about your siblings again. They will be happy. Sarah at home with her costumes and toys. The baby here with meโ€ฆand you. Just remain here with me. Love me and I shall be your slave."
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย You shook your head. "I don't want that. I want Toby safe at home. I want Sarah to finish growing up knowing that someone is looking out for her. I w-want someone to love that loves me as much as I do them. An equal partner in all things. ย If I stayed, you would change to what you think I want you to be, just as you change the labyrinth. I'd want the chance to l-love you as you are." The king looked hopeful for a moment.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "But I can't. No until I know my siblings are safe and that what I'm feeling for you isn't simply a trick of this place," you concluded. With tears in your eyes, you stepped forward and placed a soft kiss to the Goblin King's cheek as you mumbled a soft apology. You then began reciting the speech you'd learned by heart long ago, noticing the Goblin King's pained expression deepen with every word.
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered,
I have fought my way here, to the castle beyond the Goblin City,
To take back the child you have stolen,
For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as greatโ€ฆ
You have no power over me.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย No sooner did you finished speaking did you find yourself back in your home. You felt thin arms wrap around your middle and it took you a moment to realize that it was Sarah. A soft cooing caught your attention behind you. Toby. Safe in his crib. You breathed a sigh of relief just as an overwhelming sadness came over you. You helped Sarah settle Toby down to sleep and then lead her to her room and told her everything.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "You must have been so frightened," she commented. You attempted to smile. "I suppose. I truly donโ€™t believe the Goblin King was all that bad. He merely did what you asked of him. I think, in his own strange way, he was trying to show that he was lonely." Sarah huffed. "He deserves to be lonely. I bet you made more friends in the labyrinth than the Goblin King has ever had."
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "Sarah," you sighed, shaking your head. You knew she couldn't understand at this point. She was still so much a child. "Nevermind. How about I introduce you to some of the friends I made?" Her face lit up in excitement. "You can do that?!" You laughed and gave a little shrug. "They did say they would always be here if I needed them. And the magic of that place obviously works here as well." You glanced in the mirror and thought about the friends you'd made and how much you'd like to see them again as you closed your eyes. When you opened them at the sound of Sarah's laughter, the room was full of the people you'd met.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย After spending a little time with them all, you excused yourself to return to your own bedroom. Your heart was heavy. When you had opened your eyes, you had half-hoped that the Goblin King would be there as well. Of course he wasn't. You closed your door behind you, leaning against it. Your eyes traveled to the window and you froze.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย Perched on a branch just outside your window was a white and brown owl. Without hesitation, you threw open the window, inviting the owl inside. Tears began stream down your face when the owl flew in and instantly transformed into the very being you'd been thinking of. You hadn't even realized you'd moved until you hugged him close.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "You came back," you said, your voice muffled by his vest. He stood slightly stiffly, as if your contact was unexpected, but after a moment, you felt his arms go around you. "You say that as though you missed me," he stated. You looked up at him with tears still running down your cheeks. "Why are you crying, precious?" he asked. "I'm so sorry," you replied, "I c-couldn't leave Toby there. I didn't want to hurt you, but I couldnโ€™t leave him."
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย The Goblin King laughed softly. "Why are you laughing? And why aren't you angry with me? I-I bested you. I left you alone." He cocked his head to the side as if he were thinking. "Do you know what I am? What I truly am?" he asked in return. You thought a for a moment. "Fae? Is that right?" He nodded. "Yes. And Fae like myself, have one true, ever-lasting love in their lifetime. You, my precious thing, are mine. That is why I came back. That is why I cannot remain angry with you."
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "How do you know?" Your voice was barely above a whisper now. It was a lot to process, but you couldn't deny that you'd felt something powerful within you every time he was near you. "An unexplained connection. A pull and feeling we cannot place. The longing to be near each other without understanding the reason behind it. I know you felt it in the labyrinth and the ballroom. And even more so in the castle."
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย You nodded. There was point in lying to him about it. "What happens now?" you asked. He cupped your cheek. "Now, you make a decision, Y/N. You may remain here or return with me. Be my queen." You bit your lip. "Will you love me?"
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "I already do. You are my Y/N. My precious love." You gazed into his eyes. They were light and bright with emotion as he waited for your answer. You weren't sure how you were going to explain things to your family, but you knew your choice within mere seconds. Your face drew closer to his. "You never did tell me your name," you said softly. "Jareth."
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "Jareth," you whispered back before finally pressing your lips to his, sealing your fate as his. His Y/N. His love. His queen.
(a/n: I hope you like it and that this part was worth the wait!)

A cheerful hymn
"Jareth X reader who sings under her breath while working or out loud if she thinks sheโ€™s alone, and Jareth hearing her for the first time"
I'm making this one gender neutral just so everyone can read!! Also Y/N is a writer hehe
~~
I sat alone in my room tapping my pencil on my desk trying to come up with a good concept for my next novella. I write these small books for the goblins, as I'm quite fond of them and they need a break or two every now and then to do things on their own. But now, I've hit a wall in my mind. I just can't seem to create a solid plot anymore. I started to hum a small tune out of boredom just to fill the silence. It slowly turned into a little song after a while. I sang quietly, under my breath so Jareth couldn't hear from his throne room. I was embarrassed of my voice. His was so gorgeous I didn't want him to judge me.
"Y/N?" Jareth said as he walked into my room. I was startled because I was rather lost in thought when he suddenly walked in. Luckily I stopped singing before he could hear.
"Sorry, uh... You startled me a little, what is it, honey?" I asked.
"I just wanted to come in and say hi. You look tired, need a break?" He replied. God, he was so sweet.
Looking back at my blank paper I've been staring at for the past hour, I decided he was right.
"I suppose I do need a break. I'm not getting any writing done." I sigh as I get up out of my chair and take Jareth's cold and slender hand.
-- time skip --
I whistled as I organized all of my pens and pencils which were skattered across my pale white desk. Jareth was out running errands so it was just me in our castle. As I cleared my desk, I started to sing a little tune I had written for one of my books. It was a cheerful little hymn and I sung it louder and louder without even noticing.
I continued singing when I heard a soft knock on the door. I abruptly stopped and opened the door. It was Jareth.
"I heard you singing." He purred. He flashed you a smile before hugging you closely.
"Oh, lord I'm sorry you had to hear that... I'm certain I was off key or something." You blushed.
Jareth broke the hug briefly and held your shoulders, looking you right in the eyes. "Now what do you mean? That was a stunning little song you were singing. Why don't you ever share your talents with me?"
"Well, you know, your voice is just so beautiful and well, compared to yo-"
He shushed you.
"Don't talk like that, star. Your singing voice is just as magical as mine. I would love to sing with you. Whenever you like. Now, don't be shy, finish your number."
~~
The end!!
Please give me more requests I'd love to answer them ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

Chapter 1. | Chapter 2. | Chapter 3.
Tumblr media
Jareth remembered vividly that day when the woman fell to the Underground.
Sitting lonely on the oblong dark table by himself, he had dedicated the last minutes of his day to eat - almost against his will - the well-done dinner the goblins prepared specially for him. Defeated and feeling weak, Jareth spent the last months trying to forget everything about Sarah and her brother. It was ridiculous. How he had become this bored, shattered man on his own. Of course, his own goblins were kind of fools, easy enough to get them to do whatever he wanted, but it wasn't enough. Jareth swallowed a bite of the exquisite steak, and even if it was fair delicious, his mood often shattered down the smallest of the pleasures he still was able to enjoy as a King, including something as mundane as eating.
But that same night, a little old goblin quickly made his way to Jareth, squeaking and muttering unintelligible noises as if trying to say something but couldn't catch any of his babbling.
"What is it?" he questioned, rather annoyed.
"Majesty, Majesty! A woman! Sheโ€™s fallen into the Labyrinth!"
A woman? He frowned. No, it couldn't be her. Sarah knew how to summon him and it was completely impossible for someone to enter just like that.
"Goblins found her, Majesty! You must come!"
Were the goblins sure it was really a woman? Worst, she might be even human. Jareth hesitated for a moment after remaining silent. He got on his feet quickly forgetting the dinner, scaring away his subject.
"Lead the way," he ordered.
The little creature guided Jareth to come to the Castle gates, where a small crowd was there murmuring and surrounding the so-said woman, who seemed to lie down on the hard concrete. Once the King appeared, the goblins started to make room for him to get closer to the lady. She was graciously asleep over some piled-up clothes that might have been improvised by the goblins to give her some sort of comfort on the hard ground, and a large beige gown adorned her figure as her chest rose in a calm way, just as the look on her face. How was this possible? He didn't know, but she was right there. He bent down slowly, taking better sight of her.
"Has she been asleep since you found her?"
"Yes, Majesty!" the goblin who guided Jareth said behind his back. "She's been sleeping like a log!"
Jareth came closer, prudent of each one of his moves, noticing a shiny necklace hanging around her neck preciously with a black pearl stone decorating her skin. Fascinated by it, his fingers brushed over the pearl softly. A soft breath went past the woman's lips, her eyes opening wide at the sudden touch. The goblin king backed up a little, letting the mysterious woman sit down in horrid, and before her, the quite grand number of creatures watching her attentively as she moved slowly, feeling eyes over her.
"Where am I?" she panted, looking at the man who looked as human as she did.
"This is the Goblin City, and you're trespassing my kingdom," Jareth explained to her. He was standing tall, towering over her and she looked at him from down below.
"How is it that I am here," she mumbled, holding a cry. Her eyes scanned her surroundings, the unknown place she fell on was strange and she started to feel she was unwelcome there.
The piercing eyes of the man were all scanning the woman, who was kneeling quietly before going to her feet.
"Where are you from?" Jareth questioned her, the globins made enough space around their king and their visitor so she could not escape in case she tried to.
"I- I don't know... I don't remember anything," she stammered, scared of the king.
Jareth tried to go over her mind and thoughts but found nothing, but a blank space and a word that might seem like a name, repeating constantly in her head.
"Do you have a name?"
The woman blinked and swallowed hard before speaking softly again.
"Leah."
Leah.
Leah.
Leah.
Her name was spinning in his head like it was the first time. Jareth took her to the castle after learning he could not read her mind nor find a single memory, which was certainly unusual. However, he felt some sort of compassion in his heart, and the sentiment was strong enough to make him decide to take her with him. Jareth let her settle down in one of the rooms he had and ordered the goblins to take whatever she needed. But as time grew, Leah found herself in debt after not doing more than the bare minimum - such as eating, cleaning her room, reading books from the library, and taking strolls in the city, or at least, what she could see from it.
Jareth wasn't really fond of Leah going out of the castle, but he understood she needed to go out for some time. After two days, she came in very happy of having encountered a new friend. Let's say Hoggle's name was not the best thing to hear for Jareth that day. He still had a bitter feeling over the dwarf, so knowing Leah had befriended him was not good news at all. But he let it slip away, just for her.
Days later, Leah found herself wanting to help in the castle, so she shyly asked Jareth for it. That's another thing he will never forget.
It was, perhaps, the third time in the five days she has been in the castle, that she had dinner with him. Leah normally would be very quiet, but she was right there sitting on the table some feet away from Jareth, asking if she was able to do some of the work along with the goblins.
"Are you getting bored?" Jareth simply asked, a light smirk forming on his lips.
Her face grew hot at his eyes lurking on her. "Maybe..."
"Tell me something you can offer me to have you working around," he told.
"I am interested in cooking, I can learn!"
Leah didn't know a single thing, more than her own name. Jareth tried to read her again after some time, and he just found her hesitant under his gaze. Jareth was very aware he was terrifying and he loved that, mostly because he spent years and years bored and defeated, but having Leah as a companion sometimes was interesting, just like that night.
"You can, certainly."
"Really?" the woman seemed to be taken by surprise.
"If that's what you want, you can go on. The goblins will help you with learning all you want to learn, and you can serve me."
"I will" A smile curled on her pretty face, and Jareth took a great liking to her determination.
He stayed within her thoughts, finding passion and happiness in her head, with so much anticipation of what she would learn. She didn't look past thirty human years, so it was quite curious for Jareth how she lost her memory. Jareth of course would find a way how to do that but decided to wait a little bit more. He got on his feet, his silver plate and the goblet were left empty as he walked toward Leah, who was still in her seat. His gloved right hand cupped her cheek and rubbed it softly with his thumb.
"Why don't you start now, clean the dining room," he ordered.
She felt the heat rising on her, not sure why he was provoking that type of reaction on her body and soul, but his touch, even when the glove was on, felt right and good. And Jareth, of course, noticed this. Leah nodded, holding his gaze, feeling hypnotized by his beautiful and deep eyes. A mischievous smile drew on his face before letting go of her and walking outside the dining room. Oh, she was going to be so much fun to be with.

Just some Jareth Headcannons
Tumblr media
Jareth head cannons <3 let me know if you have any fanfic requests or more head cannon requests
This man has no shame in showing you off as his queen. Like he would shout it proudly from the rooftops if he could. He wants everyone to know that you are his by subtle things like walking with his hand on your hip or lower back or kissing you passionately if he feels like anyone else is a threat to him.
He loves it when you wear clothes that make you look like the queen you are. So ballgowns, extravagant outfits, crowns, etc.
He totally sings to you all the time. He is very proud of his talents and would definitely write songs for you. He would also try to get you to dance even if at first you are hesitant.
He will give you anything you desire. You want a garden in the castle? Done. A library with an endless amount of books? It was done yesterday. You want a room dedicated animals? It was always there.
He loves it when you play with his hair, just not in front of his subjects and even in private he won't admit it but he will never fight against you asking to play with it. He will even lay down his head on your lap which after a while becomes a silent request for you to play with his hair while you two talk.
If you are ever overwhelmed or stressed, he might be oblivious at first but after a bit he might notice habits that indicate toward it. After he starts seeing these signs, he would do a number of things to help you calm down or de-stress. He would do anything from simply laying with you while you talk to giving you massages to drawing you a bubble bath.
This man loves kids. We can obviously tell that from how he handled Toby, while tossing a baby in the air is a bit reckless, Toby was happy the whole time. Jareth would be an absolutely great father.
Jareth does have some anger management issues but after you came into the picture, you have definitely helped him regulate his anger and frustration. He genuinely tries to not take it out on you but after a really stressful day he might snap and yell at you but would never physically hurt you. That being said, he would instantly regret ever opening his mouth and would beg you for forgiveness. The next day he would shower you with gifts and attention.
He is also very protective over you. If anyone ever ave you a problem, even if it was small, they would totally get a visit from him. If you just wanted it to be your fight, then you would have to let Jareth know before he started with threats of his own. But after you handled the problem, he would want to know all the drama down to the single detail.

~Father figure!๐•ต๐–†๐–—๐–Š๐–™๐– ๐–™๐–๐–Š ๐•ฒ๐–”๐–‡๐–‘๐–Ž๐–“ ๐“š๐–Ž๐–“๐–Œ x Child!Reader Headcanons~
Tumblr media
Thank you, darling! I hope YOU have a wonderful day, too!
Summary: As a child lost in the Labyrinth, it can be both a fun, exhilarating experience, and a terrifying, confusing experience. Luckily, you're being looked after by the Goblin King himself. Warning(s): None
~~~~~
~At first, Jareth was sarcastically thinking:
"How grand. A child, of all things. I bet I'll be hearing it screaming all the way from my castle."
~He then found himself viewing your journey through his crystal balls, saving you at the last minute if you were in danger, and finding it amusing when you were so proud of yourself for solving a puzzle.
~It did not take very long for the Goblin King to realize that he had grown fond of you.
~Jareth occasionally shows up to taunt you and give you more challenges. He won't go easy on you just because you're a child. But, if you perhaps start feeling overwhelmed and you shut your eyes in fear, suddenly the thing that had been threatening you disappears into thin air. He pushes you around and tests you to find out what you can and can't handle.
~For awhile, it's as though you're simply a piece of entertainment for him. He keeps poking at you and teasing you.
~This is because he thinks you're cute. You're cute when you get upset, you're cute when you're trying to outsmart him, you're cute when you're intimidated by the big scary Goblin King. So, he keeps pushing you around to get a reaction. For awhile, he acts more like a bratty older brother, rather than a father figure.
~Jareth will grow softer towards you. He eventually takes pity when he sees you growing genuinely frustrated and fidgeting because your feet hurt from walking. First, he decides to materialize out of nowhere to spook you. Then, he helps you out. He won't give you answers, nor will he simply let you through whatever challenge he has set up for you, but he'll give you hints, and walk you through it until you figure it out.
~Imagine a patient teacher helping you figure out a math problem.
~You may notice that he has more of a soft and proud look to his expression when you solve the challenge.
~From this point on you're his kid now YAY

I know for a fact Jarethโ€™s room is fucking messy, itโ€™s messy in a Howl Pendragon way but also if like rococo period lace and drapery threw up everywhere as well as like some shiny things and glitter. Itโ€™s like a 18th century prince bachelor pad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thereโ€™s lit candles everywhere where itโ€™s probably a serious fire hazard, he has a writing desk filled with half finished letters and paperwork and ink-splatted paper, quills, and inkwells. Heโ€™s both too lazy and too entitled to really clean or organize anything. Thereโ€™s a bunch of broken furniture and shit in a corner collecting cobwebs and he wonโ€™t throw it away or anything. you cannot see the floor.

Jareth sfw alphabetย 
โ—‹ Jareth SFW alphabet โ—‹
Jareth X Fem!Reader
Template by @the-coldest-goodbye
Tumblr media
A~ Affection.ย  How affectionate are they?ย  How do they show affection?ย 
Jareth is very clingy. He is a clingy mother fucker. But I feel like he might need time to warm up to you enough to be that clingy. He will cuddle you or I could even see him just praising you.
B~ Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
I feel like he would be a really good best friend. very kind and willing to listen to you vent. But I feel like once you both start to form a connection he might start falling for you. And if he does he will fall fastย 
C~ Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
This man would love to cuddle you. He loves nothing more than to lay down next to you and just hold you in his arms. He loves being that close to you. Again I just think it might take some time for him to be ready to do that
D~ Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Jareth would be willing to settle down and would love to start a family with you. Cooking and cleaning however are not his strong suits. He has had goblins to do just for him for a very long time. But I think he would love to sit there and bake or cook with you. And if there's flour ever being used most of it will end up everywhere but where it should be.
E~ Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
I don't think Jareth would be the one to break up with someone as he is a very devoted partner. But if he did he would be calm while explaining it and gently say how he doesn't want to be with you anymore. He will be there to comfort you and will stay close with you just not in the sense of lovers
F~ Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
If he had the choice he would have got down on one knee the first time he laid eyes on you. Once you decide to stay with him he sees that as you already accepting it and quickly considers you his queen. But he will make it official soon enough and throw a huge celebration for yours and his engagement.ย 
G~ Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Jareth would be very gentle with you physically. But I feel as though he would have trouble being gentle emotionally. He has been stuck as the goblin king for centuries with little human interaction. So I think he would have a hard time being gentle with certain things and would be more blunt about things that should be said lightly.
H~ Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Jareth again loves hugs. Anything that means he gets to touch you and be next to you he loves it. He comes up behind you and hugs you all the time. His hugs would be very lovely. Warm and consuming to the point you probably wouldn't ever want to let go.
I~ I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
This man falls quickly so he probably would have wanted to say it the second he saw you. But I feel as though he would try and control himself to wait at least another day or two to see how things might turn out. But trust me he would and could have said it at the very beginning.
J~ Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)
Jareth gets very very jealous sometimes. He doesn't want to lose you so when he sees you talking with someone else or interacting with someone he may just lose his shit. But on the outside he can control it fairly well as he doesn't want to upset you. But if it gets to much he will storm out of the room in all his glittery glory to regain your attention.
K~ Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
He is a very good kisser for someone who again has Been pretty much alone for centuries.ย  He would probably kiss you anywhere but his favorites would probably be your head, your hand, your thighs,And of course your lips.
L~ Little ones (How are they around children?)
Jareth is fairly experienced with the care of children. As that's kind of his job. He would definitely be able to solve a crying baby problem. But in the case of diapers or cleaning up messes he usually gets the goblins to help.
M~ Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Unless he has some work that needs to get done he will lay in bed and cuddle with you for as long as he can. On days like that you also usually get ready together and if time allows you'll both have breakfast together too.
N~ Night (How are nights spent with them?)
As long as no one is trying to run, the labyrinth nights are spent right next to him falling asleep in his arms. However sometimes he will take you stargazing which is something he enjoys a lot. On nights he is working you will usually wait for him to be done or go and rest with him in his throne room.
O~ Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
While he would rush a lot of different things I feel like he would wait for this one. He really wouldn't reveal much about him and his past as he is more of a listener than a talker. So getting him to open up will absolutely take some time.
P~ Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Jareth tries not to lose his temper with you but he still does sometimes. Usually when he is overwhelmed or jealous. He doest like losing his temper with you though so he will quickly come and apologize and make sure you're ok.
Q~ Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He would remember a lot of what you say. Maybe not all of it. But he will remember good or bad. He also tends to pick up on your tendencies. He will notice what you do when you are upset or happy and will secretly keep that as a way to help you.
R~ Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
His favorite memory is probably waking up next to you for the first time. Being able to see your calm face as you sleep. He just kind of sat there and watched you. And to this day it's his favorite memory of you.
S~ Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Jareth is very protective. It ties in a lot with his Jealousy. He tends to be very protective because he doesn't want to lose you. He doesn't want to see you hurt.. so if something is going on He will make sure you are safely at his side and away from any danger.
T~ Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
He puts in a lot of effort. Man would give you the world if he could. He loves getting you little gifts like jewelry or clothes. But he also tends to just pick things up too. He has given you hand picked flowers and shiny rocks that make him think of you.
U~ Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
He tends to lose his temper a lot and I think that's probably his worst habit but he might have a problem with chewing his nails or leaving things untidy.
V~ Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
He cares about looking presentable incase of company. And he definitely has a soft spot for fashion which you enjoy a lot.
W~ Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Absolutely. You mean everything to him. if he lost you he wouldn't know what to himself. himself. You're his other half, his soulmate if you will. And he can't even stand the thought of losing you.
X~ Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
If you are ever feeling insecure or upset he will be right there to cheer you up in a heartbeat. He loves you and hates to see you so sad and hurting.
Y~ Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)
He doesn't like people who aren't very hygienic. I feel that since he is a king he wants to be presentable and that goes with hygiene too. If it's a thing that you can't help then he will try his best to help you during tough times so you don't form bad habits and to keep you healthy.
Z~ Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Cuddling up to you. Before you came he had trouble sleeping and rarely got enough sleep at night. But after you arrived he started getting more sleep and feels very safe at night knowing you are always there.

In My Sisterโ€™s Place (Part 1 of 2)
Based on this request:ย  Is it possible for me to ask for a Jareth fic? Reader is Sarah and Tobyโ€™s older sister (she was on a date that ended badly so thatโ€™s why she wasnโ€™t the one babysitting that night) and insists on running the labyrinth in Sarahโ€™s place. Jareth agrees. You can decide if reader chooses to leave or to stay once sheโ€™s done running the labyrinth.
Here you are, lovely! *Familiar Characters are NEVER mine!*
Fandom: Labyrinth
Warnings: Mentions of bad dates, poor step-parenting, and the beginning events of the movie. This is part 1 of 2 as it was getting too long for only one part!
Pairings/Characters: Eventual!Jareth the Goblin King x fem!reader, Sarah , Toby
Tumblr media
You let out a sigh as you opened the front door. You could hear Merlin barking from the shed. Your stepmother must have made Sarah put him there. Heaven forbid anything make her gleaming-white floors dirty. Maybe that wasn't fair. You were in a bad mood after all. Your date had been awful.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย From a young age, you'd dreamed of the kind of partner you'd read about in story books. The type of men that were in the plays your late mother had acted in. A hero. A knight. A king. A lover. Needless to say, your standards were probably too high but you were determined to get as close to that kind of man that you could. That lead to many uninteresting dates. Not that they were all "bad" people, per say. They just weren't what you were looking for.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย You were pulled from your pity party by the sound of crying. Clearly, your dad and stepmother had made Sarah babysit again. Now you felt bad. Sarah shouldn't be responsible for an infant and if you hadn't gone out on what turned out to be a horrible date, she wouldn't be.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "Sarah? Everything okay?" you called out as you made your way up the stairs. Instead of an answer, you were greeted with more crying. You weren't surprised. Sarah was never any good at calming Toby. When you reached the landing, you found Sarah leaving the room Toby slept in. Before you could greet her, you heard her say, "I wish the goblins really would come and take you away." With that, she closed to the door to head back to her own room.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "Sarah!" you cried as Toby's own crying suddenly stopped. Sarah met your gaze for a moment in confusion. You both ran, nearly knocking each other down, and opened the door again only to find Toby missing from his crib. "Sarah, what have you done?" you whispered as lightening flashed once more. You approached the crib slowly. Definitely no Toby.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย Before you could speak again, you heard what sounded like giggles and small feet running. Toby couldn't pull himself out of the crib so it wasn't him. And if it wasn't Toby, who was it? You jumped when you heard something smack against the window. Sarah's gaze kept darting around the room, but yours was drawn to the white owl at the window, trying desperately to get in.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย Another strike of lightening and a gust of wind made you jump. The window practically flew open and the owl darted in, flying into both your and Sarah's faces. Sarah let out a scream as the owl backed off. The next thing you knew, standing where the owl had been, wasโ€ฆwell, he looked like a man, but you knew he was something more. You knew exactly who he was, but it was Sarah who voiced your thoughts.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "You're him, aren't you? You're the Goblin King." You stared, drawn into the beauty that stood before you. You really needed to snap out of it. He had your brother and you needed to protect Toby and Sarah. "Please. I want my brother back. Where is he?"
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "You know very well where he is," the Goblin King responded, his voice sending shivers through you. "Please, bring him back," you managed to say. His eyes shifted to you and he regarded you closely for a moment. "What's said is said."
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "But I didn't mean it!" Sarah protested. "Oh you didn't?" he asked, taunting the younger girl. ย "Please, bring Toby back," you finally spoke up and that was when the Goblin King's eyes met yours. In an instant you saw a dozen emotions pass over his face. "There is only one way to bring the baby back. She," he stated, pointing to Sarah, "Must run my labyrinth."
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "I'll do it," you declared, "If the stories are true, then surely you can bend the labyrinth to your will and make it difficult for me." He arched a brow before looking between you and Sarah for a moment. He moved behind you and pointed out. "Do you know what that is?" he asked. Before your eyes, the night outside your window changed into something else. Something that should have been terrifying but instead filled you with excitement.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "The castle beyond the Goblin City," you replied. The Goblin King nodded and you felt him move closer to you. "You have thirteen hours to best my labyrinth. Should you win, I will let you and the baby go. If you lose, Toby shall remain here, as a goblin." You nodded.
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย "Turn back, Y/N. Before it's too late," he told you as he backed away. "I can't," you whispered and glanced at him over your shoulder. He frowned a bit. "You cannot win." You smiled. "I have to try." His tall form began to fade away. "Wait! What is your name?" you asked, earning a surprised look from the king that quickly became a smirk. "Best my labyrinth and I may tell you." You huffed as he disappeared. With a sigh, you began the long trek to the castle.
(a/n: I hope you like it! Part 2 will be posted after the 2nd part ofย โ€œDeduce Meโ€)

Poison Apple
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย  Jareth The Goblin King x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Starvation
You had been walking around for hours. Shit. Your feet were tired, your throat aching for some water and your stomach grumbling for something to eat.
Last time you had seen Jareth, he had offered you a peach, but of course you had declined since he had kidnapped you. You were starting to regret that decision when you realised that you couldnโ€™t ignore your hunger much longer.
You decided to sit by a tree, its shade providing you little comfort. You looked at the tree in front of you, noticing a beautiful apple. The colour a deep red, and you were sure it would quench your thirst and at least give you enough energy to continue finding the Goblin Kingโ€™s castle.
You got up as fast as your sore feet could and went up to the apple. You plucked the apple from the tree and brought it closer to your face. You took a bit, the juicy apple instantly helping with your thirst and starvation, but it didnโ€™t give you any energy. Instead you felt yourself getting more and more tired. You lay against the tree, trying to get comfortable, and you soon dozed off.ย 
When you awoke you were standing in a room full of people wearing a beautiful white dress. People around you were dancing around the room, while you stood in confusion.
You looked around and there you saw him. Even when he was wearing a mask, youโ€™d know who he was. Jareth. He took off his mask, giving you a teasing smirk. You both walked to each other, you being completely mesmerised by him, as he was with you.
When you reached each other, he outstretched his arm, silently asking you to dance. You took it, and you both started dancing.ย 
You were a bit wobbly but he guided you, helping you dance.
He gently pulled you closer and you followed, wanting to be closer to him. Just as the song playing in the background was about to finish, your lips grazed each other, but he pulled back, giving you a teasing smirk.
As he let go of you, you found yourself back in the labyrinth and instead of longing for the apple, you found yourself longing for Jareth.
A/N: January 5 2023.

18+ MINORS AND THOSE WITHOUT AGE IN BIO DNI
warnings: Jareth jumpscares the reader a bit, Hoggle is a bit crass, reader kind of throws themself at Jareth, a few double intendres but they are mentioned in the movie so idk
AN: Happy Valentine's Day! My annual Labyrinth story is here!
"Run the labyrinth he said. 13 hours he said." I muttered to myself as I trudged along through the Goblin City. So far, none of the goblins had come after us. Hoggle trailed behind me, rubbing his hands. I still held his precious jewels but I doubt he cared about them anymore. "What are you muttering about back there Hoggle?" I looked over my shoulder at him, fed up with the noise he was making. Not knowing if the rest of the goblins would jump out because of it had set me on edge.
"What are you going to do if you get to the castle?" He finally asked. I shrugged. "I mean you're leaving right?" I nodded as he sped up to walk alongside me. "But I thought you wanted to do Jareth." I stumbled and Hoggle looked at me, hands out to try to catch me.
"What?!" I exclaimed. Hoggle was wringing his hands again. "Who said anything about me wanting to do Jareth?"
"I just thought..." He trailed off. "The way the two of you interact with each other..." I sighed and gazed up at the castle.
"Hoggle, it wouldn't work. He belongs here in the Goblin City. I have to go back. I should never have said that to my friend." I shook my head, clearing it and banishing all thoughts of the Goblin King out of my head.
"He will probably offer you a way to stay..." Hoggle murmured. "If he did, would you take it?" I shrugged.
"As long as my friend was safe and I wouldn't get turned into a goblin, maybe." My mind was racing. If I could stay, would I? Would I want to be bound to the Goblin King forever? Did I really want to stay? Shaking my head again, I focused on the task at hand. We were at the steps of the castle. "Hoggle, whatever comes next, I have to do it myself right?" He nodded. "Here. Thank you for coming with me." I tossed his jewels back to him.
"You didn't have to do that." He said in surprise. Smiling sadly at him, I started to climb the stairs. I looked back only once to see Hoggle wave at me before turning around and disappearing into the city. Climbing the stairs, I pushed the doors open and entered the empty throne room. Looking around, I saw the clock. Sighing in relief, I looked around for the doorway I knew to be there. There were three doorways behind the throne. Looking from one to the other, I started to worry. I still had time if I took the wrong door but I would have to find my way back to this room if I wanted to preserve that time.
"Think (Y/N). Think." I circled around the throne and stared at the doors. "Which one did Sarah take. Which one leads to the David Bowie impersonator." I closed my eyes and tried to visualize the scene from the movie. "She comes in and it's..." I turned slightly and opened my eyes. The doorway matched what I remembered from the film. "There." Running through, I took in the new maze. Smiling to myself, I walked to the edge and looked out of the staircase world.
"(Y/N)!" My friend called out for me. I waved down to them and took a deep breath, preparing to jump down the center.
"Expecting a song?" The voice made me jump and I turned around, putting some distance between myself and the edge. Jareth was leaning against the wall, playing with a crystal. "You won't get one." I smiled softly at him and shook my head.
"Didn't think I would." I looked over my shoulder and took a step back. I looked back at Jareth as he pushed off the wall. "Besides, you wouldn't get into it too much. I know what to do." He smirked and walked right up to me. We were standing nose to nose when he put his hand on my shoulder.
"Then do it." He whispered before giving me a gentle push. I stepped off at the same time and fell. A new platform materialized under me and I landed carefully, my friend having disappeared again. Jareth entered from a new doorway. "I assume you know what's coming." I nodded and Jareth rolled his eyes. "Then formalities and such." He waved his hand and I tried to stifle my laugh. It brought a smile to his face. "(Y/N)," my breath hitched as he said my name. Maybe Hoggle was right. "beware. I have been generous, up until now and I can be cruel."
"Generous?" I tried to fight the smile that was growing. "What have you done that's generous?" Jareth smirked at me, clearly seeing how amusing I found all of this.
"Everything." There was something about his tone that made me question all of my life's choices until that point. "Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that your friend be taken. I took them. You cowered before me. I was frightening. I have reordered time, I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you. I'm exhausted from living up to your expectations of me." He circled me. All I could do was watch him. Doubt was growing in me. Doubt that I could say the words. Doubt that going back was what I really wanted. Doubt that I could leave him behind. Doubt I could forget about him. "Isn't that generous?" His gaze softened as he came to a stop in front of me.
"I-I..." I looked around him, desperate not to look him in the eye. "Through dangers untold..." I fought to find something in me that wanted to go back. Something to focus on so I didn't have to make that choice while looking at him. "Dangers untold and hardships...." Jareth watched me, regarding me kindly and curiously. When it was clear I wasn't going to recite my part, he took control.
"Stop. Wait." He held up a crystal, taking a step closer to me. "Look (Y/N). Look at what I'm offering you." His voice had taken on a soft quality. When he didn't continue, I looked away from the crystal, meeting his eyes.
"My dreams." I whispered out. He shook his head but gave me a chance to continue. But I didn't take it.
"I ask for so little." Jareth took another step towards me. "Just let me rule you and you can have everything that you want." He had lowered the crystal, nearly letting it drop as his other hand reached out and gently took mine. His thumb ran over my knuckles, waiting for me to make a decision. I shook my head, the thoughts running rampant as I tried to find any reason to go. "Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave." Jareth whispered, gently pulling me closer to him. "The choice is yours. I've done all I must." Slowly reaching up, I cupped his cheek.
"My friend will return?" He nodded, gently leaning into my touch. "And I won't become a goblin?" He shook his head with an amused smile.
"Where would you get an idea like that?" He chuckled. "Your friend will return to your world. If you choose to stay, you will remain as you are. With me. If that is what you so choose." Jareth watched me carefully. Letting go of his hand, I reached out for the crystal. "You need to be sure." He warned. I nodded.
"I'm sure." I touched the crystal just as Jareth leaned forward and kissed me. The world around us shimmered as we were returned to the throne room. Jareth pulled away, smiling softly at me. I looked around the room, surprised by the subtle use of magic. A second throne had appeared next to the first.
