You know, these tales of the bead could go on forever. They're beautiful, strung like little decorations themselves: alike, but disparate, and nudging up against each other on the chain. Amazong of course, but I've come to expect that of your work. It no longer surprises me, but it does continue to impress me.

I'm officially addicted. Love everything. and the last chapter had me in tears! pretty embarassing, considering that I was at a public computer... Hon, you're awesome. the characterizations are simply flawless.
in short, bloody brilliant.

Zimraphel, I love your work, and this story is no exception. You write so well. I'm torn between admiration and jealousy, with admiration having the greater part.

Lovely.

Hmmm. Perhaps the curse on the gold has been somewhat diluted by its three castings, because the love between Arwen and Aragorn produced (or perhaps I should say influenced) far more good than ill.

It's an intriguing idea that the House of the Golden Flower, through Narello's and Ondollo's choices as much as Glorfindel's, had such an impact, not only on the lives of Eärendil's descendants but on the final defeat of Sauron.

What a wonderful trip through the Professor's works. All tied up in one piece of gold. Absoulutely phenominal. Your skill is humbling. Do you do this for a living? tell me where to buy it.
I see now why you are nominated in nearly every catagory in the Mithril Awards, you are that good.

[More mad praises for this story .... Here's the comment I left for Gold Like Tears in the MEFA voting.] "'It was like embracing the moon.' Gah. Nothing I can say in a review will do this story justice, so I'll just ramble on here a while until I can collect coherent thoughts. First, the physical doohickie of the bead: thank you, thank you for choosing something so unique and unassuming. Not a ring. Not a sword. Not a jewel. In fact, it's such a simple yet representative thing, Tolkien would probably approve. Like Tolkien's simple golden ring, this bit of gold grows more sinister as the story progresses, and by the end, it seemed to spell certain doom, even if it were given in love. Definitely both unsettling and touching. "
