Why this must be read:

In a few of my other fandoms, it's a time-honored cliche to isolate two characters in a Canadian shack to turn up the heat between them. The cabin here isn't in Canada, and Jareth and Sarah aren't precisely alone, but this story works for me in all of the ways that Canadian shack fics work for me, with some extra added bonuses. The labyrinth itself has a sentience, and power, and this story just yanked me in and didn't let me go. Jareth's vulnerability to the city of this modern world totally worked for me, as did the explanation of Sarah's art. Yay for misunderstandings and bickering!

"We remain incomplete," the Labyrinth reproached.

Jareth immediately reached out with his mind. The link to the Underground was almost within his grasp, but remained frustratingly elusive.

"Return my magic," Jareth demanded.

"You must fulfill our bargain," the Labyrinth replied.
