What I find really horryfying, in a good sense, about this ficlet wasn't even the gory images of Finwe's death at the hands of Melkor. It was, I think, his hope that Feanor would avenge that, but Finwe had no idea what the revenge might bring -- the terrible oath, the rebellion and the kinslaying.

Perfectly done. It sent chills down my spine.

Alassante. You know I 'liked' the first version of this, but I'm so glad you were challenged to rework it because I find this version absolutely amazing. You have really outdone yourself with this one, it's the best portrayal of this scene that I've read.

Powerful! I especially like Finwe's last words and the reference to the fact he would soon be joined by the Teleri. What his reaction must have been to that!

Wow. I’m just now getting around to reading some of these, and I’ve got to say this was really powerful. Excellent writing.
