Oh.

Oh, dear Maitimo, I'm so sorry.

"like a monument to herself" — this!

"preserved in a way that seems a little unnatural even for Valinor" — oh, the obsession! (It's like the Valar are afraid of death. Like overprotective parents.)

"As he lies, he becomes aware of other sensations" — I imagine he adapted this technique to survive Thangorodrim.

Himring, I must say I'm inspired by the way you incorporated the prompts. (I was simply not in a mood to insult anyone, but it never occurred to me to twist and tweak them a little.)

I sort of felt apologetic to Maitimo myself after writing this.

There is something quite uneasy-making about all that business with Miriel, I feel, in more than one way. Good to hear that my observations here resonated with you!

An interesting suggestion about Thangorodrim!

I think, by the end, Maedhros may be in a state where he is habitually trying to ignore a lot of things and allowing himself to become aware is always a bit like a crash landing, perhaps.
