I loved the three parts - the banter between the brothers, the politics and gender remarks, the wistfulness around Maedhros and Turgon, for different reasons... but the last paragraphs of the last part were the ones that touched me the deepest and made me feel so sad for Húrin and Morwen. Lovely work.
