I did not want this to end! What a lovely story. I loved the camaraderie between them and then the larger context (in which we completely agree) of the cultural acceptance of homosexuality in Cuivinen. (I won't pretend it isn't fun to see elements of my own worldbuilding in someone else's imagination either! :D How published authors resent fanfic I'll never know ...)

Your recipient is very lucky. What a sweet, lovely, and thoughtful story!

Thank you! Pining Maedhros and Fingon are dear to me. I do love writing them at this stage. I might end up expanding on this story. Finwe introduced himself into the narrative and I feel has more to say on the subject. Thank you so much for reading and commenting. Your worldbuilding is truly a foundation that has meant quite a lot to me.

I hope the recipeint liked it!
