Woohoo! The last Chapter. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, you've been a wonderful audience all I ask is that you leave one final review with your final thoughts. Sorry it took so long to update, i went to see Muse at the Eden Project last night and they were amazing. Anyway, last part, standard fare, enjoy!

Future

They did not materialise on top of the tower, Sarah's favorite place when she returned from a meeting of the council. Nor did they appear in the study or the throne room. Instead they appeared in a garden, filled with beautiful flowers both familiar and strange. Sarah had heard that this had been Jareth's favorite place in the castle and had never ventured there, fearing that something she saw would break her heart all over again.

Darkness had fallen over the Labyrinth and Sarah looked up at the stars, marveling again at how clear they were away from the artificial lights of the city. She heard his soft laugh from just above her and she turned her gaze upon him. Even in the darkness she could see the otherworldly glow of his eyes, that tiny sparkle that marked him as Fae, and she wondered what he saw in hers; she was still unsure if she was human or Fae or somewhere in between.

"Oh my dear Sarah," he said softly, "if you could only see what I can. How long has this change been coming, I wonder? How long did I ignore it?" She had changed since he had been shot, she had become Fae, but it had not been long enough for the change to be as complete as it was, for her to be as close to true Fae she had to have started the change sometime before she had been brought to the Labyrinth this second time. Her beautiful eyes had changed, they had filled with a green fire that he had never seen, a fire that marked her, now, as one of the Fae. The change was so close to complete that he knew that she could never truly live Aboveground again, mortals would fear her now, fear her as they feared him, as she had once feared him but never admitted to it.

"What's wrong, Jareth?" He took her hands into his and felt the ring on her finger, it was on the finger that mortals associated with marriage. "What's this?" He asked, feeling something go tight in his chest. Had she given up on him?

"You gave it to me, ten years ago, you probably don't remember..."

"The ring, I remember, it belonged to my grandmother. Legends said that she was able to sense the use of magic around her," he looked down into her eyes and the knot in his chest began to loosen.

"It was the only thing that you ever gave me out of conscious choice. I never used to wear it on that finger but after you were shot, I did. I guess I was trying to fool myself into thinking that maybe there could have been more than..." again she trailed off, this time though, Jareth did not know how to answer her. He never could have dreamed of her loving him back, he did not realise that she had already told him that she did.

"Sarah, now that this is all over, now that Camulus is gone, do you want to go back, back Aboveground?" Even as he asked it, he knew that he could not live if she left, he could not imagine going back to life without her, life without Sarah would be nothing. He could not go back to watching and waiting for her to love him back, he could not watch through a crystal as she met other men and formed other relationships, and though the answer would be not to watch, he could not do that either.

"Do you want me to leave?" She asked in reply. "Is that the end of everything? I've saved your kingdom and done all that you expected of me so now you want me gone?" Her eyes flashed with dangerous fire.

"No, Sarah, no! That is not what I meant, never what I would mean," why was she making this so difficult?

"Then what, exactly did you mean?"

"I wanted to give you the choice. I wanted you to stay because you wanted to, not because I forced you," a similar fire was in his eyes. He so badly wanted her to say that she wanted to stay, he wanted her so badly to be his, and only his.

"Of course I want to stay! Everything that I want is right here."

"Will you stay with me? As my Queen?" His old words came back to him.

Fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave. Perhaps not the most romantic proposal of all time but for Jareth this was completely new.

"I wouldn't stay for anything less," he heard her reply. With a low laugh he swept her into his arms.

"Oh, Sarah, my dearest, most precious Sarah, I love you."

"I love you too, my Goblin King." She laughed with him, feeling that all of her lost dreams had suddenly come true.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

The wedding of the Goblin King and his bride was a suitably opulent affair. Everybody in the seven kingdoms had been invited, even the cruel things in the Shadow Lands, nobody was surprised when they did not turn up.

Sarah and Jareth were dressed exactly as they had been in the ballroom dream nearly eleven years ago and everybody agreed that she would make a wonderful queen. Her own temper notwithstanding, she could provide the necessary restraint to Jareth's sometimes overpowering fits of rage. She was pronounced to be beautiful, kind, loving and everything good. Jareth was told repeatedly that he was the luckiest Fae in existence and the wedding went off without a hitch. I n the life of these two people, without a hitch was to be very rare.

Fin

There we have it, a fairly normal ending but after all the evil things that I did to these two, it seemed reasonable to let them have some happiness. Like I said, please leave a review with your final thoughts, I love reading what you all have to say and one day I may have a sequel for you all (I'm still working on that so any ideas would be greatly appreciated, credit will be given where due). Thanks again to you all
