Goblin Dreams by Aspen (PG)

Fandom: LABYRINTH
Pairing: Jareth/Toby
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] silveraspen
Author Website: unknown

Why this must be read:

There is one line of the film where Jareth is talking about Toby's eyes being so much like his. It's always stuck with me, made me wonder what Toby's lasting connections to the labyrinth and to Jareth might be. A babe who has spent nearly thirteen hours in the center of the goblin realm cannot simply emerge from his rescue unscathed, unchanged... and apparently I am not the only one who thinks about these things.

And yes, this story is slash, a rare genre in Labyrinth fandom.

He'd been having the dream for as long as he could remember, and it never really changed. There was always a sense of spinning around, held tight in someone's arms, someone with eyes that looked like his. He could recall a deep voice, sometimes singing, sometimes silken with malice and speaking to someone that he couldn't quite see. There were images, confused and blurry, of things with too many legs, unending stairs, magic lights, and bouncing crystal balls - things that couldn't possibly be true. Occasionally Sarah was in the dream, too, but the one time he'd tried to ask her about it, she'd turned pale and told him that magical worlds didn't exist, even in dreams, so how could she have been in one? She'd seemed so afraid that he'd never asked her again.
