    Summary

    So Fëanáro does not die cursing under the stars.
    It softens his temper a little, binds him tighter to his sons. Still, he remains himself - self-aggrandising, wilful and thorned.

    So Ñolofinwë does not lose his youngest in the battle of Lammoth, and receives weregild.
    Begrudgingly, for the good of all, he will co-operate. Yet, though a good man, he is no less proud and ambitious.

    Can they find a healthy way to co-exist? Perhaps not. They are a little too awful to one another. Still, they will try.

    Meanwhile, Elu Thingol's concerns are not unjustified, Artanis and Celeborn court, Findaráto is more than meets the eye, and Lúthien labours to make her own future possible. Can a somewhat better united Beleriand stand against Morgoth?

    [Yes, there is half-sibling incest, beware! But, at least in my interpretation, they barely interacted in youth, as Fëanor was mostly out of Tirion by the time Fingolfin toddled, so their social and emotional dynamic does not really have familial tones.]
