Summary
“Of course I love you as my father too. We can fuck our way through Dagor-Dagorath and I probably still will. It’s in our nature. We construct elaborate philosophies to justify our continued proximity to what should repel us. We fear that exile from the place that houses our pain may well mean exile from the only place that understands it,” Elrond shrugs, topping up Maedhros’ glass. “What begins as temporary coexistence turns into structure, and structure eventually gets mistaken for inevitability. Love grew, we say, as little might be thought. It is much the same now. We tell ourselves we've transcended, that our presence here, together and redeemed, represents evolution rather than a lack of alternatives. Aman offers me no exit from Middle-Earth, only a deeper room in the same house. With only squatter’s rights to boot.”
—Elrond arrives in Aman, finds that Elwing, Maglor and Celebrían have been intimate for centuries, seeks sexual solace with Maedhros, and ends up navigating the waters between endurance and complicity. Or: what do the children of atrocity owe those who perpetrated it, and what happens when survival becomes indistinguishable from desire?

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.]- Language:

Summary
Feanaro snarled, “I have never in my life fought a beast like you. Are you the son of an elf at all, or did your mother mate with an animal in the woods and slip you once born into your father’s lap? What are you?”
Findekano replied him, choking his words past the weight of the sword on his neck, “I am what you think my father is.”
