Thank you, Himring!  And you're quite right; Little Women was at the back of my mind, albeit unintentionally at first, but then I saw it coming out in the New England setting and the family atmosphere, and I ended up leaning into it.  Maglor was already going by Lawrence (spelled differently from Alcott's Laurences, but no doubt they were in my subconscious!), but naming the family Brooke was a deliberate nod to Meg's eventual husband from the novel :)
