Fanwork Notes

This fic covers the same ground as A Hundred Miles Through the Desert, but from Feanor's POV. 

Fanwork Information

Summary:

Fëanor shrugged, studying the contents of his wine glass. “Something must be done about that house. It will fall down eventually.”
“It does not follow that it must be you that tears it down single-handedly. Are you sure you do not want help?”
“It’s not as though I have much else to do. I need to build something new there,” he said after a few moments. “To do that, I must first clear away the old and broken things.”

Decades out of Mandos, too many things in Fëanor's life remain broken. He can't do anything except wait for his sons to come to him, but he can do something about the old and crumbling house where they once lived.

I am really enjoying Fëanor's perspective on these events! (Reading this is like returning to a favourite comfortable armchair.)

I really like your portrayal of Fëanor in all his emotional complexity and struggles, while at the same time being so pragmatic, which typically suits his personality. and it is soo good to read his pov on all these interactions. I am still thoroughly enjoying this and eagerly binged the most recent ten chapters. Thanks again for creating this!

I was thinking again this morning of Fëanor experiencing first hand the power and anger of the Lord of the Gap and Nargothrond Curufin and Celegorm. It was emotionally intense enough from Maedhros' and Maglor's pov, then made even more so from Fëanor's.

And then at the oppostite end of the emotional spectrum, Maedhros simply bursting into tears when Fëanor came and spoke his name, and Fëanor knowing exactly what to do in that moment, was just so beautiful.
