This is really clever, how you've turned the theme to suit each character, and it all kind of reads as a testimonial to what happened - you know, one of those reports or films where they speak to each in turn and more of the story is revealed with each speaker? And to finish with Nerdanel as well, the one who could so easily be forgotten as she stayed behind, I just thought was genius. Lovely work, as usual Rhaps.

Intense, riveting, creepy, shivers running down my spine in some parts, ack! Is there more I can use to describe this? probably but I'm speechless. This was a great way to show all the dynamics of the Feanor clan and their individual personalities all in such short, but perfect pieces. bravo!

I'm tempted to say that this is miscategorised: it reads like poetry. "Death to the day’s ending, woe to the world’s end, what is this everlasting dark you speak of?" .. .just beautiful. You've captured each character's confict, but all with a similar voice. It feels like family (albeit a very strange, tense one).

Very nice Rhaps. I was a little unsure of who certain brothers were speaking to at times, but after re-reading it, I think I got it. Wink smiley face

Beautifully written.

I agree with Viv. These drabbles read like poetry. This is a stunning piece, Rhaps. Each drabble could, in my opinion, stand alone, and the way they're connected, by the theme, makes them more meaningful. Hats off to you! Splendidly done.

So sad and yet so beautiful...but that's essentially Feanorian, no?
Lovely as always....
