The snow globe is a stunning image, but still a horribly sad one--I want one of those! But, the wound might be a little fresh for her to appreciate the gift without feeling even sadder! (Although, it is his kindness and her feeling welcomed and cared for which is most important) I'm just getting over being really sick! Might be that I am the one that is feeling fragile and projecting it onto Finduilas who is also one of those horribly tragic characters. And then you end with Khim! Now there is a happy story (not!). You certainly did engage me. And there is no denying that beautiful as Nargothond was and as much as I would like to imagine exploring it, Finduilas must have been pretty shattered when she arrived there. 

It a good story and definitely elicited a lot of feelings from me--that's what one wants, right?

*I see you did warn! No matter, since you wrote, I would have read it with even a stronger warning! 

What a very delicately understated and powerful piece.  There's so much in it said without a word too many or one poorly chosen.

I like him having a bit more life as well.

Aw, Finrod is a good uncle. Poor Finduilas. And poor Finrod, realizing that she is unhappy but that he has no good way to do anything about it, given what she truly wants.

So many sad destinies on Arda... :(

Well done!

Finrod is such an exceptional person, always thinking of others, even in his own grief.

I love the globe he gifted to Finduilus. Such a lovely touch.

This is quite sweet even though it's sad-- I always like Finrod and Finduilas when they're written well, and you've written them well. But of course there are always shadows creeping around the edges of the light. But of course I should really expect that sort of thing when I go to read Silmfic. All this to say, I liked this a lot!
