I have so often felt that Feanor's grief at losing Finwe overshadowed (and narratively at least, completely stole) Fingolfin and Finarfin's pain at the same.  But this is a truly fantastic, painful look at Indis's.  The general chaos not of mess but just of no logic to how anything was done ... I will just say I could go on at length and copy out nearly every line in this for special note but I will try to keep it reasonable.  Without going into detail I will say this story (particularly the first half) touched me deeply (and made it a touch harder to read, but still well received).  But that enforced silence was certainly something as well
