I love this! It's such a wonderful little scene, and a great study of both characters and their relationship, and their hopes and dreams and fears. The foreshadowing for both is really well done--it really hurts to think of what's to come for both of them, especially in the face of Finwe's optimism!

Love this - very soft and intimate (but always overshadowed).  There definitely needs to be more fics of these two <3

Just popping another comment here to add that apart from the story and theme, their interaction and intimacy, which generate a depth of feeling and not a few thoughts, I so love all the little details that make it so alive, so visible and multidimensional.

I really enjoyed reading about their close relationship and their thoughts about love and having children. A lot of foreboding in this fic, but neither of them really can see how it will go for them.

I really enjoyed this moment; thank you for sharing it.

Beautifully visualized!

There is so much dramatic irony in their conversation, especially towards the end, but it doesn't take away from how movingly their friendship is described in the present moment.

These two friends meet across the water from their villages and share their thoughts on the future. Wonderful. And a lovely illustration. 

Wonderful!

I really liked this glimpse into Finwe and Thingol's early relationship!

Though I must say Finwe, you're terribly out of touch with your foreboding abilities XD

I love to imagine how the Elves have lived at Cuivinien and their tradition before the Valar came, this really sparked my imagination, expecially where you were talking about the homes on the bay. I loved that image!
