This is a continuation with no challenge rules whatsoever from my sliding doors challenge. If you haven't read those chapters, it is recommended that you do. As a lot of the story is written as if all the detail of it are already known. So you don't have to go searching for that thread, here they are. :))

Pursuit of Happiness
The Snowe Story
Introduction
Image
They never were the most conventional of families. Nor the most rich, or the most illustrious. Some looked at them with raised eyebrows, and turned away talking in hushed tones. There was something they were rich in; love. Anyone who looked upon the Snowes, knew the love they shared was as sure as the rising and setting sun. Strong, warm and as eternal as time.
Image
Image

Love that sparked in the must unlikely of ways, and lasted for more than a lifetime. Every member of the family was destined to find it, and treasure it. Who needed vaults of money, the most expensive cars, or the vastest of mansions, when they had a matriarch and patriarch, who loved each other so intensely, so passionately, so irrevocable, that not even the grim reaper could part them? Happiness flowed through that tiny house like the air they breathed.

Until those days of bliss turned on it's head...
Image
A happy day like the many days before became the worst.

In his grief, Jareth made a promise, he would do what it took to make sure this wasn't goodbye.

*squee* I'm so happy to see this continuation! Now hmmm, what does Jareth have up his sleeve?

(And don't worry, Hoggle, I love Taya but I love you too!)

:bounce: Yay!

I think only Jareth knows that one! He is certainly the mastermind in this one! New update coming soon. Just working on livejournal, then I'll put it up.

That is true! We do love Hoggle too. :thup:

I'm finally all caught up! I love these Snowes! They'll always have a special place in my heart! Taya is gorgeous and poor Jareth is still struggling with coping...
I'm so curious to see what may come out of Gator and Sarah's great day. ;)

I'll be reading!

:bounce: Yeah, I have so much love for this family too. That is probably why I keep getting lassoed back to them. I love them so much.

I'm guessing not what you're thinking... :shhh: :lol: I don't know what you're thinking :shifty: Next update should be up soon. :D

Ooh yes!
Spoiler:
Lol, nothing like daughters, right Jareth? Between a sister and a daughter, the poor Goblin Prince has very little that can help him!
Taya is gorgeous, by the way! I love all the hairstyles on her, but I especially love this new one! Have you gotten used to it yet, or do you think you'll change it?
:lol: Angus, I love how he knows already! XD Yet Sarah has her priorities in check! Must ink herself up with her loving husband who may have let the ink get to his head right after for that argument :shifty:
I love Gator's new look! Sarah does too I see :cheeky: :smirk:
Also I'll take twilight jokes any day! Definitely my favorite series to tease - almost as much as 50 Shades of Gray, though that book is a joke in itself. :rofl:

Spoiler:
The Snowe women are determined little madams, I'll given them that. :tongue: :lol:

I'm still unsure about Taya's new hair. I'm sort of on the fence. It looks great on her, but I keep getting tempted to change her hair back. I do love Sarah's though, that is staying.

Oh, Angus. :lol: I'm starting to love that werewolf guy. He is the butt of so many jokes. Ah, good times.. :rotfl: I'm going to miss him so much.

She loves Gator's new look. :smirk: Something tells me this won't be the last time we'll see them all smoochy with each other. :flirt:

50 Shades is garbage made as a fanfic from garbage. :yes:

Finally caught up! What a ride!
Spoiler:
Jareth what are you up to? :shiftyeyes: :lol:

I had a moment of:
Image
When you said that about Sarah! Haha!

Hoggle getting time with Jareth was super special! I'm glad Jareth is reaching in to help the poor kid - he's been so quiet and reserved. Maybe Alicia's death hit him just as hard as it did Jareth?

Oh Taya, you're such a special child! Rainbows, butterflies and fairies! Life must seem pretty magical to her. She always has a sort of dazed and far-off vibe about her. It was great to see Alicia, and I'm sure it just made Jareth all the more determined for... well whatever it is he's doing. Glad to see he and his wife are working together now though!
It made me a little sad to think the Goblin Prince wouldn't be happy in his marriage.

Also I have to say I have a soft spot for Hoggle right now - him acting like his mother is positively adorable! XD

Can't wait to see what these Snowes are up to!

So sorry I missed this, Liv!
Spoiler:
Jareth is quite sneaky... :hmm: Even I'm not 100% sure of his plan at this point. :shiftyeyes:

:bounce: Yay! You got the reference!! :D

So much went on! I feel these three updates really got to show off each of them for their own personalities, their quirks, etc, instead of having to orbit around Alicia in the challenge. :hmm: This showed them off perfectly. I do adore Taya, because she is the fun one. Most of her snaps sometimes, are just random stuff I catch her doing. I stage very little with her.

Oh my word, so much has happened that I missed! I'm still a few posts back, but I'm going to start writing otherwise I'll just forget everything I want to comment on.

I'll admit that I'm happy Taya's old hair is back. It was my favorite. :)

I'm loving Hoggle getting some "air time" too. I'm glad Jareth decided to take him under his wing. A little of Jareth's confidence ought to be good for the sweet-but-nervous Hoggle.

And the way they decided who gets to decorate the ground floor of the new place was just perfect. LOL (As was the twist at the end. *hehe*)

Gator is so wonderfully awkward.. "I dunno, that red grass thing.." had me cracking up.
