Poor Maeglin... I feel for him here. I'm not generally a Maeglin fan, but this is really well written and makes one feel sympathy for him. I wish Idril talked to him about the subject to clear things up instead of bottling them inside, but I also understand they would be treading a thin ice even mentioning such a thing... no way out of that situation, very depressing.

I've always felt a bit of sympathy for Maeglin despite the fact that he ended up betraying Gondolin. And yeah, given that cousin-marriage was very much frowned upon (to put it mildly) I can imagine Idril would have had a very difficult time trying to talk about it, so I tried to preserve that here. I'm glad you liked it and thank you for reviewing!
