A few thoughts on a few of them:

I'm not surprised both Beren and Finrod have PTSD! And both are so fortunate to have caring companions who understand and know what to do. 

I relate to Curufin losing track of the weeks! 

And Finrod having a vision of what's to come while still basking in the light of the Trees is an iinterestiing concept to explore. 

And Mim!!! Playing with a flower before his wedding. This is so sweet. (And there's more Mim for me to read, I see! I've just realised you're huorinde!)

Oooph. Truth serum. The question is, is this an AU or not...

Aww! Fëanor attempting to recreate a memory of his mother's hair... You know, in light of this, all of a sudden so many things make much more sense! 

 

 

Thank you for reading and commenting; I'm delighted you enjoyed these!  And the flower being a lily was actually inspired by "Mîm's Memories", the moodboard you made inspired by my work on Ao3!  (And I am; I just tend to run around on different sites with different names XD). As for whether it's AU or not, I didn't intend for the truth serum to work completely on Celebrimbor, so the end result is the same as the Silm's.  (But I think I've heard that in real life 'truth serums' have mixed results anyway?). And yeah, I thought it would be interesting to throw that reason into an already complicated mix of emotions for Fëanor; I'm happy you found it interesting!
