!!!

Is saying "bated breath" too cliche? Yes? I'm going to say it anyway.

*anxiously awaits next part with bated breath*

'bated breath' is perfectly acceptable. I use it all the time without being ironic. As long as you don't say 'baited breath' because then it sounds like you've been eating worms. *fun with homophones*

Hope you enjoy the rest!

Poor Jareth. To be forced to deal with both of his failures at one time. He might just have to grow up a bit more, LOL!

Though now that I think about it, that doesn't really apply to Jareth what with the immortality and all... Well, the second part works anyway.

Oooh well he sort of was acting from the best of motives, but bungled that badly.

Well, you know what they say about good intentions...

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm glad you chose this prompt (even though it bullied you), although I almost did change the word 'girl' for 'dwarf' at one point! ;)

I love the idea of Jareth and Sarah on a journey, working together and (hopefully) Jareth saving the day.

Looking forward to seeing where this journey takes them...

Thank you again.

I am eternally grateful that you did not make that change! Not sure this would have come off QUITE the same way were it to be a Jargle fic. (oh the horror!)

I honestly loved this prompt. The idea for the fic hit me almost immediately and I wanted to write it even knowing I'd never be able to pare it down to a reasonable length. I enjoyed every second of writing it!

I hope you enjoy the rest!

Love, love, love! That's all, 'cause I have to keep reading!
