#Lilia why are you playing in the bog of stench when your son is in danger?

[violetlunette]

OH! Oh! I was just listening to the Labyrinth ost and got another AU(ish) idea! When Silver was a baby, and Lilia first found him, Malleus was super jealous that he had to share Lilia’s attention. One day, while watching the baby as Lilia went to chop wood or something, Malleus tells Silver the tale of the Goblin King, not realizing that reciting his tale summons him. Malleus then makes an ill-thought comment that he wishes the goblin king would take Silver away, so he can have Lilia to himself again. And low and behold, David Bowie does just that. (What he plans to do with the babe, I’ll leave to your angsty minds. Does he plan to eat him? Make him an heir? Steal his body? Raise him as a love? Your pick.) Malleus—having a conscience regrets his words and finds Lilia. Together they go to the Labryth and navigate it to save Silver. The hitch? They both lose their magic there, and their fae abilities are toned down to the level of a human, so they have a hard time. After many traps and tricks, they make it to the goblin city. While Lilia handles the army, Malleus faces Jareth and saves baby Silver, who crawls into his arms. After Jareth’s defeat, the trio goes home, and slowly but surely, Malleus starts to fall in love with the little baby.
