This is a collaboration with spike30 on deviantArt. I wrote the intro and for the Interviewer. He wrote for the Goblin King. Each of us wrote some of the in-between description / narration. I did some editing for smoothness.

Please see A/N after for general info.

He rises up from his throne and stands in front of the mirror, almost as if he is standing directly in front of her.

GK – Sarah, do you truly wish for me to help you find your way through the darkness to that which you so desperately seek?

She stands as well, her actions a response to his, an echo at full volume. No half-hearted mimicry, this! Her approach to the mirror takes slightly longer, as her steps slow despite her intention of movement. Whatever it is that binds Sarah away from herself, away from Jareth, is no match for this determination.

His internal smirk as he hears his Lady think Do not defy me! to that which still attempts to contain her provides enough encouragement and strength that Sarah reaches out and touches the glass. Jareth can feel that touch on his own cheek, and knows that their triumph is at hand.

Interviewer – Yes.

Such a simple word, heard and spoken thousands of times every day with so little meaning behind it. Three simple letters, one tiny word, and yet on this day, in this moment, there could be no word more powerful. No sooner does her hand touch the glass then it begins to glow slightly. As she speaks that simple word it bursts into a blaze of golden light, causing her to draw back her hand to shield her eyes. She watches the glowing glass through her fingers for a moment before lowering her hand. The glass seems to pulse with ripples like those left in a pond after a pebble is dropped. The light, once blinding, now feels warm and calming. It feels like home.

A/N: please see my profile for links to spike30 and hawthorne-cat.
As always, please comment and help me spot typos, etc. Reviews and comments are more than welcome!
And for those of you who also read my stories on dA: Yes, I'm splitting the chapters somewhat differently here.
And no, this isn't quite the end of the interview. More to come.
