Happy Begetting Day  by Ecthelion of the fountain 1 Review(s)
Lady ForlongReviewed Chapter: 1 on 2/7/2025
I always figured that these two couldn’t keep their hands off each other, considering the number of children they had, and given Feanor's fiery and passionate personality. You seem to agree. On the table, in the grass, in the forge… maybe this story should have been rated PG-13 ;)

I love seeing them in love and in their innocence, before all the bad stuff that happened later. But it’s sad to think that the reason they had so many sons was that they were trying for a girl – I hope you’re wrong about that one.

Too bad English doesn’t have a gender-neutral pronoun like Quenya. We really need one.


Author Reply: Then PG-13 it is! Just updated the rating. :D

Yeah, I’ve always imagined that Fëanor and Nerdanel were… quite enthusiastic before the shadow fell. This story is meant to be humorous, and the absence of daughters in the three princes’ houses was just too good to pass up—so I made fun of all of them! Obviously, this doesn’t represent any truth (though Tolkien himself was pretty delighted to finally have a daughter on the fourth try, lol).
