I really like that Rog is so supportive and that Turgon and Idril are doing their best, as well.

It already looks, in this chapter I got to, as if it is going to lead to a better outcome for most of them. Crossing fingers...

Thank you for your comment!

Rog understands what Maeglin has been through and how lonely it can be. He wants him to know that he is not alone. Turgon means well, but he never found a way to really connect with Maeglin after the disaster that was his arrival at Gondolin.

This fic got way out of hand during writing it but it started as a fix-it and I will fix this mess that is the end of the first age XD
