I got chills at the end! I love it.

[tessagratton]

Thank god. I was a little worried when I realized I'd kind of written a Rumpelstilzkin story without a real Rumpelstiltzkin. So I'm extra glad it worked.

[bleuberi21]

I think it really did work well. The ending was a nice twist, too. :D

[tessagratton]

You might be biased in my favor after all these years. ;)

Absofreaking love it!!!!!

There aren't enough exclamation points to proclaim my love!!!

[tessagratton]

Hahaha! !!!!!!!!!!!!

We could probably wrangle some up for you. ;) Glad you liked it.

It's very Rumplestiltskin meets King Midas. This is one I will read to my niece when she gets older.

[tessagratton]

Oh, yeah! It's totally like slash!

I mean... not... really. uh.

[tessagratton]

:D

What a happy ending! No blood or anything. (nice gruesome death though) I loved it.

[tessagratton]

I know! Me? HEA? I guess I sort of made up for last week. It's because Brenna said she expected me to be gruesome. When that happens, I always end up writing something totally lacking in gore. I mean, I know you just called the death gruesome... but the lack of gore freaks me out a little. There wasn't even liquid gold running out of his eyes or ears or anything. :D

[nottygypsy]

Don't worry, I'm sure it's only temporary.

[tessagratton]

LOL. No doubt.

[saffronhare]

I really needed the sweetness of that today. Yay! :)

[tessagratton]

Glad to help! :D
