Fascinating look at the kids (and the grandkid, now). I know that this is sort of an AU to AMC, but it's kind of neat to see how the family has fallen into such disarray without Nerdanel there to smooth things over. Fëanor seems to be extending himself mightily to bring everyone together, but he was never very good at being inclusive. No matter how much he wants his family to be whole, he can never be the people-glue that Nerdanel was, and he's paying for it now. Being a grandfather seems to have mellowed him in some ways, though.
I'm a little curious as to why Erestor is studying with Fëanor instead of Maitimo. Fëanor's big skill is in craftsmanship, but Erestor is studying philosophy, which is more Maitimo's thing.
