I could not resist the pull of reading something from Feanaro's POV, especially since you have written it, despite the fact that the story speaks about... his death. My mind always goes blank at that point in the Silm. And gingerly skips it.
But what you've done with Feanaro is amazing. Even more so because he sound so much like my Feanaro. He talks like my muse... And I'm so not kidding. I was so surprised by this, in a pleasant way, of course.
I love the way you make him deal with the fact that he is dying in a sort of detached way. Like he is watching himself with cool interest and telling us about what he sees with some sort of ironic amusement.
Needless to say that I am captivated by this story and I'm so curious to see where you take things, even without disclosing your ideas of what happens in Beleriand, in AMC verse. Always, it is wonderful to read something of yours and most of all something of and about Feanaro.
Many thanks for sharing and lots of hugs.
“I’ll see you soon,” he whispered. “We all will.”
And…I died.
This made me blink at the screed and I read the words over and over again...
