Because I think Jareth would have watched the events of Chicot the Jester with vast amusement and fascination.
Title: The Goblin King and the Jester
Rating: PG
Fandoms: The Labyrinth/Chicot the Jester
Characters/Pairings: Jareth, Chicot, passing references to Henri, Bussy, the Saint Lucs, the Duc D'Anjou, Gorenflot, Diana and Sarah.
Summary: Paris in the 16th century is Jareth's kind of city. Plenty of games to play, and gamesters to study. Even if some of them are rather confusing to a selfish fae.

Warnings: Er. Mildly stalkerish Jareth?
Disclaimer: Neither work belongs to me, any more than the beautiful, beautiful characters do.

Regardless of whether or not there is anyone to read it. I can't leave these characters alone. *grin* They're too beautiful.
Title: A Worthy Foe
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Chicot, Bussy, random assassins
Continuity: Set about a year before the events of Chicot the Jester (ie 1577)
Summary: In the book, Saint Luc proposes to fight Chicot to relieve his boredom in his imprisonment. Bussy advises strongly against it, saying that Saint Luc must know Chicot is a 'rough swordsman'. So ... how did Bussy know that? Had he seen Chicot fight? Fought against him? *grin* Hence this fic, in which assassins attack Chicot, and Bussy gets in the middle of it.

Disclaimer: I think public domain by now, but it all belongs to Alexandre Dumas pere regardless, because he was a genius

Right. I'm just going to go ahead and take my time over this one, da? Because I am head over heels.
First thing you do. Read the book. La Dame de Monsoreau/Chicot the Jester, whichever language is easier. I cannot recommend the book highly enough! I think it is online for free, too, but the version looks shaky. I got hold of the 1910 Everyman's Library version, which seems much better translated. Anyway.
Then what you do, is you go here, which is where you'll find all 26 episodes of the Russian serial Grafinya de Monsoro, in russian with english subtitles. It is GORGEOUSLY done. Follows the book almost exactly, down nearly to the dialogue, in all but a couple of areas, and it is acted superbly (my favourites would be Aleksei Gorbunov, as Chicot, and Yekaterina Strizhenova as Jeanne de Saint Luc). Plus the costumes, and the sets (I think you can only get sets like that in Eastern Europe), and the gorgeous, gorgeous language ... who knew russian was so damn sexy?
( Then you can understand this squeeing of mine: )
