Notes: Massive thanks to the incredible, patient makochanupdates for being an incredible beta in the face of all life has thrown at her lately and love to pendecardiel for squeeing enough to keep me going! Also, apologies to the prompter but despite setting out writing this with the intention of following the prompt in its entirety, the characters saw things ending differently!

Hahahaha

Very cute. Lots of fun. I especially loved Teddy's insistance they stick to the script. ;)

[llaeyro]

Thank you! Teddy was supposed to have a small, background role in this but instead he changed the ending from my original plan - glad it worked out though, I wasn't sure for a while!

That was super! I haven't seen this movie, but I had so much fun reading your story. So many funny bits from this! Every time Draco made an appearance, his outfits, and the bit with Hagrid. XD This was great.

[llaeyro]

Thanks for your comment! I did have great fun imagining Draco in those outfits while I was writing it, and in the others I didn't put in. I'm glad you enjoyed the fic and hope that it has inspired you to seek out the film =)

This is so much fun! Harry and Draco are both totally themselves here. Great job!

[llaeyro]

Thank you! Characterisation is always a worry when you're doing an AU x

[llaeyro]

I'm so glad you liked it, I was really worrying about this fic and doubting it (as the ending was a bit time-pressure-rushed) after it was posted. Everyone's lovely comments kept me going, but yours in particular as the prompter picked me up, slapped me round the face and told me firmly to stop being daft xD

BAHAHAHAHA

"Harry did his best to take his eyes off of David Bowie's crotch"... So, this is pretty much the best opening line I've ever read in my life, ever. :P Seriously, with an opener like that, you know it's going to be worth reading!

This was such a good laugh (not to mention the perfect length for my ungodly long commute home).

[llaeyro]

Likewise I feel a hearty guffaw is a great way to open a comment! I love sticking comic lines in, even when I'm trying to write angst I can't seem to help myself. Glad it served a helpful purpose =D

That is soooooooooooooo awesome!!! I had such a crush on Jareth when I was a kid and seeing Draco be him makes all my dreams come true, heh :D So awesome, you made me realize what I always wanted to see adapted into a Drarry fic haha :D
Awesome work, made me want to re-watch the movie :D
Anyway, I leave everyone with this, just because :D

You remind me of a babe :D

[llaeyro]

I was feeling really down when you posted this comment, and it totally turned my day around, so big thank yous! I'm glad Draco lived up to standards, I was worried that by changing so much I might anger other Laby childhood fans. My other worry was that I didn't go into enough detail in the Draco and Teddy scene for non-Laby fans to appreciate the cuteness, so huge hugs-and-jumping-around-dancing for posting that video! <3

I don't know where to begin to tell you how absolutely AWESOME this is!! I've always been a Labyrinth fan, since I was little, and you did justice! The changes from the original story were not only plausible, but made your story better! And Harry and Draco were weirdly in-character (in a out-of-character kinda way). ;)
and Harry wanting to be Teddy's daddy!! my heart melted! and Draco trying in every way to show Harry his true feelings! awww!
not to mention the scorching hot sex! ;)
Great job! I really think I'll be re-reading this very soon (maybe after I re-watch the movie!) ;))

Loved it!!

[llaeyro]

Yay! I did worry that people who grew up with Laby, like I did, might not like so many changes so it was a big relief to read your comment. I hadn't watched the movie in years, but I re-watched it countless times during writing this to check scenery, Jareth's ever-changing wardrobe and to steal lines and it's still not got old, so glad I've inspired you to dig it out again =D

This was brilliant! I love that you had Harry and Teddy watching the film in the beginning and referencing it throughout. I especially love when Harry simply goes along with peach instead of fighting it. Your support cast was perfect. Excellent use of Kreacher, Grawp and Hagrid! The banter, flirtation, and longing between Harry and Draco was lovely, especially with the sweetness of Teddy thrown in. Great fic!

[llaeyro]

Thank you! I spent a long time puzzling over which characters to swap in, but once I thought of each of them, it couldn't have been anyone else. Glad you enjoyed it =)

Huge fun, giggled throughout :-)

[llaeyro]

Glad you liked it, thanks for commenting!

This was such a delight to read! It was funny, utterly adorable and very creative in terms of adapting the 'Labyrinth' universe into HP universe! I love the way you wrote little Teddy and Draco as David Bowie! So cute! I had so much fun reading this :D Thank you for sharing this with us!

[llaeyro]

Thanks for commenting! And bigger thanks and cookies for putting up with my nonsense patiently for my first fest, I'm glad I was successful in rewarding your patience with a fic you enjoyed ^_^
