At the moment, the timing of Feanor's release feels like a mistake, but I suppose it isn't.

But still, it is a lot for everyone to handle at the same time.

It's good that he managed to open those letters and is starting to question some of those strongly entrenched beliefs.

I would have thought that the best way to deal with the distorted memories of Nerdanel would just be to go and see her, but if he continues to find it so difficult, maybe he really does need Lorien first. (I was never sure whether he had not just misinterpreted that incident because he was in such a bad way, and whether what he saw wasn't really Nerdanel watching him in the Palantir.)

 Maybe all the less difficult reunions he is continuing to have will help steady him further and he might be doing things in the right order.

And perhaps his brothers may manage to sort themselves out a little further in the meantime...

(Whether or no Huan is being "just a dog" here, I think what he did was very deliberate.)

Maglor being handed down the family of cats like some strange family heirloom is excellent. I really like how that took me immediately into the cats' strange point of view and it just made sense. Also... Huan!! (I am very excited he has made an appearance) I am curious about what he's actually going to do now that he's found Maglor, except for delight everyone by licking them all over (can you imagine the size of tongue he would have?). 

It's feeling so sad that Maglor has such big hang ups over seeing his brothers when they clearly care about him. I get the feeling there is a lot that Maglor isn't letting on about yet, and I hope he gets the chance to unpack it in good time. I don't think he is anywhere near as "okay" as he's telling himself right now. The suspense you're creating with the letter's he won't open.... I am hanging in there to find out what Caranthir and Curufin want to say. And that letter from Nerdanel was like a warm hug. 

Aaargh, Maglor and Maedhros..... someone is going to have to drag those two idiots together and lock them in the same room until they realise they aren't going to break each other just from being in each other's presence. It might cause a tidal wave of grief, potentially. But they both need each other. They're going to reconcile with each other eventually, right?

All of the brother and family relationships continue to be such lovely warm hugs. Your writing is so easy to read. Lovely poetic descriptions and realistic dialogue. I am really enjoying reading this. 😊
