Description Holy frick I am so agitated over the export quality of this piece. It looks hq in procreate, but I can't figure out how to export it with the same quality. I have been trying to fix it for too long, I've given up. If you download you get better quality I guess. Anyway, I've been really into Labyrinth (and David Bowie). This one is based on a scene I incorrectly imagined in my head as I was reading a fanfiction called Forfeit of Dreams. It's so good, holy crap. That fanfic holds a special place in my heart.

I can't find this fanfic. :^(

There are some phenomenal Labyrinth fanfics out there. I highly recommend "Of Cupid and Psyche" by Demonsaya. That's the fanfic that got me all fired up-hooked about Labyrinth after several years of meh. It's REALLY excellent! She also did "Sarah and the Goblin King". And I suggest "Stolen Kisses" by Polgara87

There are several more I could recommend on Fanfiction.net, but most of those are M rated.

Aw, man. This is great. And I've read that fanfic, too. One of the best ones I've ever read.

Who cares if it's incorrectly imagined?-! It's still so sweet!

And, to quote Rowling "Of course this is all happening inside your head. But why should that mean that it isn't real?"

Or, that's as close as I can remember, anyway.

Aw thank you so much for the comforting words!! It makes me feel a lot better about the art piece :’) And I agree! It’s hard to beat A Forefeit of Dreams. For me it’s still number one. Do you have any recommended Labyrinth fanfics? I’m still itching to get my hands on some good reads.

Here's one: It's called "Wishful," by Yeghishe. It's not finished, but it's still a great read.


A third one is called: "You cowered before me, and I was frightening," by Furby23. Also not finished, but still awesome.


"His Little Princess," by Hispreciousthing. It's so great! Finished.


Finally: "The Great Goblin Revolt," by Mrs. Pepperpot. Funny and romantic. Also finished.


Hope you like these fics. I know I did.

Well... I've read a bunch. And written one myself, if you'd like to read it: It's called "A Surprise Twist," on ffn.net, and my username over there is vivstar. I'd love it if you'd be willing to read it and leave a review. It's a one-shot, by the way, and there's a happy ending.

As for some others... let me think. Be back with another answer soon.

Lovely pic (I'm sorry the export quality is poor but to me it just looks amazing). I love A Forfeit of Dreams so much!

Thank you so much for the comment! Makes me feel a lot better. Forfeit of Dreams kind of ruined all other fanfics for me, I should have known better than to make it my first Labyrinth fanfic to read

I hear you! There's some other good stuff out there (Pika-la-Cynique and Subtilior are two of my other faves), but AFoD is hard to beat.

Oh I'll definitely check them out! Actually if you don't mind, could you please give me some recommendations? I'm quite new to the fandom; just watched Labyrinth for the first time at the beginning of this month. ^^'

Sure! Lucky you, getting to experience Labyrinth and Labyrinth fanfic in all their goofy, sexy glory for the first time.

These are just my faves, and you'll probably know within a few paragraphs if they're for you or not, but they're generally well-liked by the fandom.

--All of Pika-la-Cynique's stuff, especially The Girls Next Door (here on DA), a webcomic that imagines Sarah and Christine Daae from Phantom of the Opera as roommates. Her other fanfic are on fanfiction.net.
--Subtilior's Erlkonig, Advent, and Thrice Upon a Time, also on fanfiction.net. And My True Love Gave to Me, her only fluff piece. Be warned that all her other stories are quite dark and contain plenty of dubious consent. Shards of a Dream and In a Glass, Darkly are great but I just found them a little too grim.
--Lixxle, My Fine Feathered Friend and a few others. Goofy fluff pieces with a bit of sexy.
--dansemacabre, A Royal Gift. Sweet & funny with a perfect ending.
--akaVertigo, Dare to Bake a Peach (on Ao3)

And (ahem) if I can self-promote, my "Mirror Work" series on both fanfiction.net and Ao3, Mirror Work and Moon Gems (currently working on part 3) Under "ayehli" on both platforms.

Happy reading!
