Shadows by Faeline (R)
Fandom: LABYRINTH
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: unknown (used to be![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Why this must be read:
Alert: Darkfic. Dark dark dark. If you're prone to hopelessness, depression or cutting, give this one a pass and go read something else, please.
Even though there are times when my own shadows try to close in, when I absolutely cannot read this story myself, I adore the descriptions of the city in this story. I can't not rec it. This one is a lyrical horror, a treatment of the darkest fears of imaginative children, grown to adulthood in a patiently hostile workaday world.
The vendors nod over their wares, remembering a time when they were welcome in the brightly lit streets, and the trendy cafes, and the cheaply-expensive apartments. Before the shadows swallowed them, and the visions of greatness died.
