Wow, this was impressive writing, and a heartbreaking story! I loved the idea that they had Palantíri for each family member to check on them. But oh no, what a horror Nerdanel faces as she looks at the Palantír. Thankfully Nienna is there. And the ending is quite thrilling! I suppose there’s going to be more?

Having read Unhappy into Woe and The Chain That Snaps, I thought I knew what was I was in for. This story still managed to surprise me. The way that you've written this content through the eyes of different characters has really brought out the different perspectives and aspects of it. It was powerful reading from Maglor's perspective, nailbiting yet hopeful from Elladan's (or was it Elrohir?). It's devastating reading it from Nerdanel and Maitimo's. I'm grateful you choose to look at this story through these different lenses, and thank you for sharing.
