The following is a complete work of fan fiction written as a tribute to what has been one of my favorite films since my formative preteen years. No profit is being made from this endeavor nor is any copyright infringement intended.
In Back to the Labyrinth we pick up some 15 years after Sarah's encounter with the Goblin King. We open as she faces her 30th birthday dissatisfied with her personal and professional life and waging a mental war between the life she wants and the life she once imagined. In an attempt to utilize the advice a wiseman (literally) once gave her - "the way forward is also the way back" - she requests a visit from a very important friend from her youth. Much has changed in the labyrinth and much is yet to change as another careless wish stemmed from emotion sets Sarah out to make amends and takes her back to the mythical, magical land of her dreams on a journey of self discovery and awareness that prepares her for challenges she never thought she'd face above and under ground. She finds new friends and some old ones and discovers real happiness in them and within herself. As ever, what would a Labyrinth fan fiction be if Jareth didn't make an appearance. He's got some adventuring of his own to do, like navigation he way through New York City without his magic and opening up a heart that's been closed since he watched love cost his parents their lives.
It is my sincere hope that you will retrieve as much pleasure form reading my words as I did setting them to paper.
