I'm so glad to see you've posted this story here!  It's definitely the best retelling of Maedhros's rescue I've every read; it doesn't stint at showing the horrors of the situation, but there's hope at the end as well.

FYI:  for some reason, the site has Caranthir listed as the sole character.  Shouldn't it be Maedhros and Fingon instead?  I'd edit that, so the story will come up properly in any reader searches.

Wow. I just... wow.

This is most definitely one of the best Silmarillion fics I have ever read. Such beautiful writing, and the description of the actual freeing of Maedhros... it was realistic, and brutally so, and that's not something that can be said of many fics. And the whole thing was also pretty heartbreaking! And amazing!

You wrote Fingon's point of view really well, but I also thought your characterization of Maglor was great.

So overall this was a really, really good story.
