| Morgoth came up with some vicious attacks in retaliation for the Noldor forays against him. Fortunately elves do not succumb so easily. That Aredhel wished to remember the good aspects of Maedhros and forgive the wrongs shows the great heart of elvenkind. | |

| Congratulations, that family is coming alive under a very affectionate light. The interactions between Fingon and his siblings are so... moving, and Fingolfin's inner fight and contradictory feelings are wonderfully explained. I think it must have been a difficult time for him, caught between duty and honor on one side and his own feelings on the other, and more so when Fingon dissappeared and nobody could know where he had gone or whether he would be back again... Fingon is pushing him to do what he knows he has to, but he's too hurt to admit it... Being so different those two (Fingolfin and Fingon) there seems to be great love and deep respect between them that allow them to disagree without fighting...for each one knows what the other is feeling deep inside. I'm loving it, it so perfectly matches my own musings about the subject that.. I'm very thrilled to read about it!! | |

| You know me well enough at this point to know I love stories that explore why characters did what they did and stories that fill in gaps. One of the stories in Sim that always bugged me was Fingon's rescue of Maedhros--always thought it needed more detail. It was so bold and I love the eagles. So, when you started this, I started to drool and I went back and re-read this part of the Sim. You are doing such a good job with this. You've got all the details of this relationship (I especially like If Maglor or his brothers truly wish my pardon for that betrayal, then they must come here. They must go down on their knees and beg my forgiveness for the hurt they inflicted on my people -- on my family. If they are willing to humble themselves and show that they truly repent of their actions, then I will consider reforging the friendship between our Houses.) and you are making the most of them. And doing it in a way that really brings these people to life. Great chapter--I loved seeing Fingon come to his decision. His olf friendship with Maedhros and his determination to see their Houses reunited before Morgoth destroys them is coming across perfectly. Love it. | |

| A terrific chapter, Pony. I am very much enjoying see the family Fingolfin. When reading the Silm, I was conscious that they were a family, but they never seemed as much like father, son, brother, neice, as they do here. | |

| Fingon is coming so alive here, FP! His motives and feeling seem real. I also like the way you manage to keep us aware of many members of your large cast of characters without overwhelming us. That must be really hard. Finwe's family was so prolific! | |
