I personally love Jareth and Sarah together...but this idea would not get out of my head. So I wrote it. I hope you enjoy it!

Jareth sat on his throne and growled at the invitation in his hands. He hated these annual family reunions. All it constituted of was Diana and Aqua yelling about whose element was better (earth versus water), the last time it happened there was almost a war between the two lands of Nymphs. Erik, the future High King, would glower from his place by the window. The man was especially dull and logical for a Fay and it was impossible to actually hold a conversation with him for more than two seconds.

Usually he would have spent all his time with Gerald, King of the Elves, but they were not currently on good terms. Jareth refused to speak to him. It was putting a strain on the Elvin community because many depend on the rare spices that the Goblins cultivated to spice up their bland food, and put money in their pockets. He had not sent a shipment out in five years, ever since the wedding.

Not that he was unhappy that his brother found love. In fact, when he had first heard about the raven haired, emerald eye beauty that had melted the philandering heart of the Elvin King, Jareth was ecstatic. He had only hoped that his brother would prove faithful to his new wife. In many ways Jareth was like their father Oberon, but sleeping around with innocent woman in order to spite his wife was not an idea he shared. Therefore he did not approve of that type of behavior. He had only ever loved one woman; Sarah Williams and hoped to one day make her his Queen.

The problem that arose between the two brothers was actually very simple…Gerald loved Sarah too.

In fact Sarah was now the Queen of the Elves.

He wasn't speaking to either of them.

So he spent the past five years sitting at the family reunions, staring into the oblivion, wishing with all his might that someone would grow tired of his childish antics and send him back to his Labyrinth or that, at the very least, his mother would finally decided to end the family reunion early. She was always so flighty about company, unfortunately not so about her children.

She loved them all, despite their squabbles and petty arguments. Jareth detested them all because of them. Oberon though, he was always amused by how life effected his children, especially Jareth. Therefore Jareth could never leave unless he absolutely scandalized his father….which had yet to happen in all of the six hundred years he had been alive.

Yes, he was the baby of his family, but he was damn sure more powerful than the rest of the lot.

More handsome too,

Far more personable then Erik,

Way more happy then Aqua,

A lot more understanding then Diana,

And defiantly more faithful then his stupid brother Gerald!

It hit him that he was probably the most normal of his siblings, and that was saying something. Jareth groaned and rubbed his forehead with the heel of his hand. He could feel a headache coming on. Really, he was the great white hope that his family's descents wouldn't all turn into flaming lunatics and the only woman he had ever considered truly loving was now married to his useless lump of a brother! (Jareth was also arrogant but he refused to acknowledge that).

Jareth glared at the invitation as one paragraph caught his eye, "Erik has finally found someone to be his High Queen. From what I understand she too is human. While I am not particularly happy about this development I am sure that if she is even half as lovely as Sarah we will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to see you here sweet heart. Love Mother."

So his moody, ill tempered, horribly dull, brother had finally found some poor sap to marry him…it was worth going just to see what kind of person would want that piece of boredom on two legs. Grinning madly, Jareth stood feeling a little like his old self again. This could prove interesting indeed.

With a toothy grin Jareth spun on his heel and went in search of the one implement that would make the reunion even more enjoyable, wine….lots of red wine.

It's short but the next chapter will be longer. This is just a short introduction. So...what do you think? Let me know if I should continue this.
