Man, I remember being so invested in this story years ago. The last thing I ever read was Maedhros punching Feanor in the face, it definitely left me with a lasting memory. I'm beyond excited to see it continued again. It sucks what happened to you, I'm glad you're doing better now.

It's always a wonderful surprise when an old favorite fic picks up again. I'm absolutely eager and enthralled to see all the ways things are already changing, and all the changes that may still come. Obviously, it wont be without tragedy. But it's going to become utterly unpredictable in what ways, times, and places the tragedies will come now. I'm sure Maedhros will also be relieved and stress in equal measure as his memories of the future become less and less accurate and reliable.

For his mission to succeed, hes going to NEED to end up having no idea what's coming next. Although, in the same vein, hes already done this once, he does know exactly how badly things can turn out, and I dont think that just the knowledge that Bad Things are going to happen are going to be that crippling to him. Even if he screws things up, or things are spiralling out of his control, hes averted the Oath, and the Doom of the Noldor, and I think that even if things go horribly wrong, he still has those memories to remind him that things could be worse.

Still... this is just going to be exciting and stressful to ME either way, and you do a much better job of getting into his head then I do, so I'm more then happy to sit back and see how things unfold.

Glad to see a new chapter ! I could almost smell the sea and see the ships there... hopefully you continue soon and we see some more interaction with Makalaure & the others. by far the most interesting part of this piece is to see how Maedhros’ decisions and words are influenced by his past!

Wow! Love Maedhros getting along with the Teleri! And yay! No Alqualonde incident happened here, so NO Doom of Mandos to worry about! However, they still have to deal with Morgoth and his forces on Arda! Not to mention Thingol! Hopefully he isn't a dick like he was in canon!

Somehow I always come on here just in time to find your updates! How lovely!
I’m glad you’ve discovered Avatar! It’s such a fun fandom and there are a lot of good fic authors for it, too. The real question is this: Kataang or Zutara?
I liked this chapter! It was cool to see the use of Songs of Power. Honestly, the fact that you made a chapter about a boat ride interesting, funny, and enjoyable is such a testament to your abilities as a writer. You really are amazing. Ooh, also, now that you mentioned Doriath, I’ve started thinking about how different it all will be! Most importantly (to me, because I have a soft spot) what will happen to Elured and Elurin? What will happen to Elrond and Elros? I love all of the twins in the Silm and I can’t wait to see how you work them in/what happens not that everything is so different. Heck, if Mae can keep Fanor from getting toasted extra crispy, he might not end up getting yoinked? He’ll have both hands? Who knows? Not me, but probably you! I’m excited for the next update! :)

The last part reminds me of Elendil and his sons being separated by a storm.

Update after a long time! Thanks!
Things are getting existing!

I like the songs of power touch and the practical effects of overusing them. I look forward to seeing what happens with the other ships. I wonder how they came through that storm.

This was a fun and exciting chapter! Keep it up.

Oh, I'm so glad you're updating this! I can't wait to see how everything develops. I'm glad Maedhros confided everything to Fingon and lots of helpful stuff to Finrod. It's great to see them all working together! I suppose Finarfin will be going with them this time...though I hope we somehow still get King Finrod Felagund!
VDMA,

I just want to say that this is an amazing story! It is so creative how you used the D.S al Fine idea and it makes me feel like this could actually be what happened. I love seeing the house of Finwe working together and everyone friends (for the most part *cough* Feanor and Fingolfin *cough*). All in all, this story heals my broken heart after reading the Silmarillion! Thank you and keep writing ;)

Augh, I missed an update but I’m here now! And this is as WONDERFUL as ever. That battle cry is one of my favorite parts of the entire Silmarillion and I’m delighted to see it get attention. Maitimo falling in the water was DELIGHTFUL, as was Fanor going down with him. I am absolutely tickled by your characterizations. This just makes me So Happy!

Thank you for sharing your views on suicide. I absolutely agree. I didn’t read Tolkien’s comments on it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he subscribed to the view commonly held among Christians. Personally, I believe that committing suicide in most cases means there are serious mental health issues, not just some personality defect you can will away. Overriding biological self-preservation instinct can’t be easy or a sign of mental well-being.
Certainly can’t be judged worse than mass-murder.

Ahahaha. Punch in the face! Very deserved.

I love this.

Thank you for an enjoyable chapter.

This story is getting more and more exciting each chapter
