I have a huge soft spot for these two, and I love how you wrote the beginning of their relationship. Very often, it seems to be suggested that Nerdanel should feel so lucky that she was chosen by Feanor (sooo pretty! sooo brilliant! and royalty, too!), so it is very exciting to actually see her depicted as very much his equal in skill and strength and intelligence, and even as his superior in experience and in her position as a master craftswoman. Very nice! And lovely artwork, too. I love how absorbed Nerdanel looks in her craft, and how Feanor is hovering in the background, all awkward fascination!

I love that you did the picture first and then followed up with the story that goes with it! (And that it's Fëanor and Nerdanel... and that Nerdanel is the master when Fëanor is only an apprentice.)
