Labyrinth Drabbles

by Jalen Strix

A series of labyrinth drabbles and very short fiction, often inspired by the prompts from the livejournal labyfic community. A variety of genres and characters, but often humor makes an appearance as a genre and Jareth makes an appearance as a character.

I drew back for a moment, the ghost of Jareth's mouth a hot whisper against my lips. "We shouldn't lose track of the time."

His teeth nipped the sensitive skin below my ear. "Always so responsible."

I groaned softly against him, inhaling sharply. "I just don't want to put on an inadvertent show for the kids."

"Isn't that girl here to watch them and keep them occupied?"

"Till 2pm."

"Which is surely ages from now."

"Or five minutes, according to my timer."

"Inconceivable." He kissed along the edge of my ear. "Your timer surely lies."

I sighed and nipped his neck. "If only. I say we reach a sensible stopping point and reconvene later."

"There's nothing sensible about stopping now."

"I couldn't agree more." My fingers traced a circle on his shoulder. "Nevertheless."

"After the children's bedtime perhaps?"

"It's as if you read my mind."

"One of my many talents."

"And you'll be demonstrating more of those talents after the children's bedtime?"

"As you wish, Sarah love." His eyes flashed with heated promises that could have set an iceberg on fire.

God, I did so love that man. "Excellent." I detached the last bit of myself from him. "Let's go be responsible parents until then, shall we?"
