Disclaimer: I recently bought a pair of fuzzy socks with Jareth's face on them. I mention this because this is all I own of him.
So, over in the JDB Harem (Yes, I am plugging the site again, so if you haven't yet, go check it out. (Link in my profile) I've almost won a hug.) there is a little game/challenge going around: Once a week, The Most Awesome Person I Have Ever Met (But who shall remain nameless) will toss out a David Bowie song name to inspire a 100-word-or-less drabble. I decided to post them here, because I love finding these sorts of things, and I feel there is a tragic shortage of them on ffn. Reviews are appreciated! :)
Week 1: Golden Years
Sarah leaned in the archway, watching as he enjoyed the sun's warmth. Eyes closed, head tilted towards the sky, he stood bathed in sunshine smiling contentedly, a trick of the light turning him to a living statue carved of gold. The long, uneven hair she loved to run her fingers though became strands of precious metal, would coat her hands in gold if she touched them, turn her skin into the same textured golden velvet as his.
She'd stayed with him for a thousand years, her Golden King, and he still was the most beautiful creature she'd ever seen.
Inspired by the lines:
Look to the sky, life's begun / The nights are warm and the days are young
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years / Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years
