I actually read this twice, just to enjoy this beautiful drabbles you gave us. It almost feels as if these three drabbles jumped out of the book, as if the Prof himself is speaking here. You really captured Fëanor's intentions and thoughts: why did he create them, what did he actually think of them. There is most definitely a character development in this piece and not only Fëanor alone: the fate of the jewels change by drabble, from simple creations to awe the Valar, with the intent to create a piece of craft to the set of Jewels that would change the fate of Arda an the elves. You can also sense how the mindset of the Valar changed in these three drabbles: first a simple creation, until it came into being to the possiveness and ignoring the true ownership of the Jewels: Fëanor himself. These are all great parallels and layers Isil: you have truly outdone yourself! What a piece to write again after a while! Clap, Clap, Clap smiley face

Very nice work! I particularly liked the last line, that foreshadowing of the hassle these jewels would cause. It struck me as very creepy and at the same time, very Feanor.

Great job

A set of awesome drabbles you have here, Isil. I really love the way you developed Feanor's character and conveyed his thoughts and feelings toward the Silmarils. Thank you for sharing Very Happy smiley face
