No reviews... Hmmm, let me fix it then Smile smiley face

I'm really glad to have read your story, not only because it depicts my favorite character in the entire Silmarillion really well, but also because you've managed to portray the friendship and brotherly attachment of Beleg and Turin without judging the latter, even though we all know that said friendship was going to waste due to Turin's fate and Morgoth's curse. I generally dislike him for an obvious reason, I'll be the first to admit it, and I love Beleg to pieces, but I do appreciate the voice you gave Turin, presenting his concerns, the need of revenge and his love for his mother and sister. I also like your portrayal of Beleg, with all the responsibility he carried, his wisdom forged by years of being a warden and warrior, his being proud - in a good way, his straightforwardness and will to sacrifice his life for a greater cause.

This was a nicely and gently written, insightful and thought-provoking one-shot. Thank you for sharing Very Happy smiley face
