This... was supposed to be the cover for the 250 mark, but since that fell in the middle of Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On, I kind of forgot about it. (It was completed sometime in December. If you want some kind of idea about how long I was working on these, back in December we were only just starting the Sick!Jareth arc, and it had not yet been revealed that Mrs. N was totally in the know.)
So, Six months later, here's a filler cover. Back to work on the biiiiig project. I'm combining the next cover with the anniversary celebration image, because it's just that much work.

She is out of a bad (probably arranged, loveless and dull) relationship so her motivation is FUN.
