made the mistake of finishing reading this tolkien fic with the premise of “what if after fëanor dies he sticks around to see how things play out as a ghost instead of answering the call of mandos”. which is hardly even canon divergent cause this could have very well happened. it was basically re-telling of the events of the latter part of first age, but with a much greater emphasis on the war of wrath and sons of feanor--maedhros and maglor especially.
i just didn’t expect the author to make maedhros’ death so horribly sad. like ofc i knew exactly what happened in canon, i came up with a more detailed narrative of what happened in my mind and i planned to make a comic out of it, yet i read what they came up with and i was still crying rivers of real tears sakdjflksa
