On the eve that Fëanor presents the Silmarils to his family, Fingolfin mourns for the inadequacy of his own accomplishments. Comforted by his sister Lalwen, he recalls the comic puppet shows that she put on as a girl, that reduced the overlarge presences in her life to decorated socks.

Well done; this is a fascinating delve into Nolofinwë's and Lalwendë's personalities!  I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, especially Lalwendë's prescience and honesty when young resulting in her being able to predict how conversations would turn out.  She is not one I have given much thought to before, but this story really brought her to life.
