I don't know if it's proper of me to post comments to other people's stories before they do...

But I was very touched by this one and moved to tears. More than anything else, it helped me understand Nerdanel a little. I mean, Gods, no matter how long and hard the road was, at least Feanaro and his sons had eachother. Nerdanel was all alone and, what's worse, I think she also knew of her family's fate as time went by and they all met their fate. So, in the end, she must have wished to go back in time and change her choices.

I admire you very much for being able to write pieces like this, of such beauty both of style and structure.
