Ah yes! The onus on dear Nelyo to be like his grandfather and father and yet more so.The pressure would be horrendous.

I like Tyelco's admission and his admiration for his big brother-taking the heat, so to speak, so his younger brothers can be who and what they want.

I like this Tyelco, who is aware enough to see the pressure his older brother is under and decide he doesn't want to play that game. (Although I suspect Irissë has a point as well...)

What wonderful characterization! I can really feel the way these characters have established their relationships just from this short snippet. I do feel bad for Nelyo - although I'd like to think he often succeeds at being all that,  I've always thought the enormous pressure must have really taken its toll after Angband and later on in the First Age. A lovely fic as always! 

Great response to the prompt. I can see Tyelco being envious of Maitimo but at the same time he recognizes how much he has to live up to to want to be truly competitive with him. He also recognizes the competition Irissë has with her brothers. It's a sibling thing, transending gender really.

It's always a pleasure to read M/F enjoying their intimate moments together too. Lovely bit of fiction here saying a lot in a little space. Fun descripton of Tyelco's bad haircut too. Sounds like it suits him.

OMG girl don't we all - Maedhros is ultimate husband material 

Yeah, something tells me Fingon is gonna win that contest...

I like the description of those two on the bench.

And the contrast between that and the half-snarky dialogue between Tyelko and Irisse!
