Re-reading A Forfeit of Dreams gave me a bit of an inspirational shove to make more icons. So, klmorgan, here's to you.

Brian frowned. The man was wearing a long coat and a fedora, leaving his face completely in shadow. "Who the hell do you think you are, Dick Tracy?"

"How much do you know about legends?" The man asked abruptly.

Brian shrugged. "There's lots. They involve magic."

"No, they involve fear." Resting his elbows in the armrests, the man steepled his black-gloved fingers in front of his face. "All legends are based on fear. It's where they begin, how they evolve. In ancient times, what do you think the greatest fear was?"

Brian shoved his hands into his pockets, feeling uncomfortable with the history lesson. "I don't know... death?"

The stranger shook his head slowly. "Death was a part of everyday life. Men accepted the fact of their own death. They were content with it, expecting to live on through their children. And there is where their weak point lay."

"Her... You mean Sarah." Brian's head began to clear a little bit. "What do you mean... did you say, "return?" That's where she knew you from? She's been in the Labyrinth before?"

"Yes, to all your terribly insightful questions."

"Wait, I don't -" Brian rested his head in his hands, trying to make it stop hurting. Maybe then he could think straight. "I don't get it. I don't get any of this," he muttered.

"In smaller words, then." Jareth turned on his heel, cape flaring, in order to face his prisoner. "Precious Sarah," sneering, "with her heart of gold, has decided to run through the Labyrinth's gambit once more to save your sorry existence. In order to do so, we made a bargain. She promised me something, something very nice, in the event that she fails."

The rose was hot, bleeding red: the color of desire. Intoxicated by the memory of their scent, Sarah's hand reached for another flower -- and paused. On a whim she changed her choice, picking instead one of clear, shining white. The hue of purity. The color of magic.

She breathed deep, taking in the dark, delicious scent of him. “It’s too perfect,” se said quietly. “Too wonderful. No one has this much happiness – so pure and perfect, untouched by pain. It can’t be real.”

For a long moment, he was still. The he sighed, and the tension flowed out of his body – he became human warmth again. His hands reached up to cup her face, and he leaned his forehead against her own.

“It can be, for us,” he breathed. “We can have this kind of happiness. Here.” His thumbs caressed her cheeks, running along her smooth skin. “How did you know I was doing it?”

Sarah laughed lightly. “Because you’re the center of the world – my world,” she admitted candidly. “Who else could it be?”

“Wicked child.” He smiled. “Stay here with me.”

More to come soon.

"If she ever kisses you, I'll turn you into a prince."

One icon, ten color variations.

I can also do color variations of this Jareth icon if anyone wants something different.

*claws her way back from the dead*

Was playing around and made this. I can make more if you guys like it.

These icons are inspired by the new chapters of klmorgan's What Dreams Must Come. I'm still working on a few more, and I had originally intended to put them all up together, but it turns out I will be away from my computer for quite some time so I decided to go ahead and post what I have. Hope you like them.

I've felt an itch to make icons lately.

So, I got bored and had an idea for an icon. The text is the story Sarah tells Toby just before he's taken.

I got a lot of requests to have people added on lately, so I went ahead and made the journal public. Go nuts, play nice, don't forget to credit. :)

Just word-variations of the same icon.

Yeah, I've been on a Harry Potter/Slytherin kick lately. Just bear with me. I'll be making some more Laby icons soon.

I got the look of this one by accident. If you asked me how I did it, I don't think I could tell you. Looks pretty cool, I think.

At long last - AN UPDATE!

One picture, one song, six icons.

I just finished reading the new chapter for klmorgan's story and I couldn't help myself.

Yay red!

I wanted to wait a while longer to make some more involved icons out of these, but I'll just go ahead and post up the bases for now.

9. 10. 11. 12.

I'm in the process of making tons of Legend icons, thanks to the lovely hydinplainsight who took over 300 screen caps for me!

Here are a few teasers. I'll put the rest up in a few days.

Some people requested altered versions of this Friends Only banner, so I went ahead and remade it. Here they are.

Nyeh. I'm not going to put banners behind cuts anymore unless there's more than one. I'm too lazy to type the html for it. ;)
