Arafinwë cannot say when he fell in love with Fëanáro. Perhaps it had always been that way, perhaps it was the attraction to something different but familiar. Nerdanel comes later. He loves her too.
Celebrimbor, Arafinwe, and discussing what it's like to be loved- and to love- the lie of someone who never really existed and who did their best to ruin you. Sequel to 'Passing Your Face on Ever Street Corner'.
The Halls of Mandos are no place to raise a child, much less two. Despite that, or perhaps because he takes it as a challenge, Celegorm does exactly that.
