Take that, silly court-ladies!

I love the "Feanarion-Nerdanelion".

And the imagery, one of the royal water gardens. How many do they have? I want to see this place, I love it already.

And I'll very happily join young Turko in getting wet and middy, although he might have to translate if there are any complex rules if the game he and the storks are playing.

I love the idea that Fëanor made dirt-resistant fabric, I imagine specifically for his boisterous nature-loving son!

I like the idea of Celegorm chatting to the storks and maybe even being allowed to invite them home!

Your idea of him and his family as neuro-diverse made a great deal of sense to me, when you explained it on Discord, although I had not read it exactly in those terms the first time.

 

Fëanor and Nerdanel are the perfect parents for Tyelkormo. His mother knows he is safe and happy; his father has seen a problem (dirty clothing) and solved it. And a child who can communicate with animals knows all about storks, and babies. Delightful story. ❤️
