I have little to say except that I absolutely loved this. The people left behind, whether by choice or not, had to deal with everything that happened in their own way, and I cannot imagine it was pretty or peaceful. Your Nerdanel is an absolute delight; I completely believed her and her sentiment, and Nyarnien is amazing as well. Well done!

My Nerdanel is very much influenced by the fic bunn wrote for me about Nerdanel's doings during the First Age in Aman, https://archiveofourown.org/works/13803273 - I like to think she did not simply give up on her sons, no matter how much she disagreed with their actions (Words would be had when they meet again... Words.)

Curufin's wife(of mixed-Telerin heritage, to boot) was meant to remain behind with tiny Celebrimbor (I've got him as human equivalent of 4-5 years old at the time of Alqualondë), but was killed during the First Kinslaying but that's a fic I haven't written all of yet; up to and including Alqualondë is meant to cap off Memory Lane ;)
