... Ho dear.

=D


This storyline owes its existence to several long chats with ~toshers-girl discussing what would happen should the Goblin King and the Marquis de Carabas (from Neil Gaiman's kickass urban fantasy novel, and BBC serial, 'Neverwhere') ever meet. We quickly reached the conclusion that the Marquis had the penchant for leather frockcoats, style, nerve and sheer bloody-mindedness to nick Jareth's clothes if he was so inclined.

(I do have a short, straight and grim Jareth/de Carabas encounter one-shot fic in the works; but that is painful slow going and a tale for another day...)

Richard accidentally ended up looking rather like his creator. This was unintentional, but cool.

...and yes, that's landlady. =D


To be continued, naturellement!

Poor Jareth. 1) Had his kingdom destroyed by a once 15 year-old 2) Can't even get said once 15 year-old girl to snog him 3) Has his clothes stolen and/or dyed pink. Wow . . . he just doesn't get a break does he? Haha, hilarious as usual my dear.

Is poor Jareth standing around somewhere naked then?

Wait.....he'd probably like that.

Never saw or read "Neverwhere", but this is pretty funny and I agree with Lady-Cobweb. Jareth does tend to be the butt-monkey of this 'verse, but it's just funnier that way.

AAaah! *_* De Carabas! :heart: Take my firstborn, please! Gratitude unending!

- also, I'm reasonably certain Richard was ALWAYS supposed to look a bit like Mr. Scary Trousers... I know that's what I thought when I first read NW.

My divinely charming nature is due entirely to exquisite breeding and the unflagging confidence that I am perfect in every way.

I see an impending war coming :XD:

I'm not sure if I wanted to live in that building or run away from it...
