Ahhh! What a moment!! What a feeling! Thisscene is so beautiful, the scenery, the mood, the way his father must have felt seeing his son this happy after all they've been through... up until now.

Another little gem. 

Thank you very much! 💚 I write quite a lot about tensions between Fingon and his father in the Maedhros series, so I wanted the two to have this quite different moment together, as well as try to capture that joyous release that Sally's collage shows so beautifully.

Oh gosh, yes! Contrasting this to ... (oh no, I've forgotten the title (although the scene and _that feeeeling_ are always vivid) it's the post-reimbodiment one where Maedhros is peeling potatoes when Fingolfin arrives) ... I think it says so much about how the trauma of //waves hand at Beleriand// affected their relationship.

(And sally's collages are such a delight!)
