I don't think I gave specifics in my beta-comments about exactly what it was I loved, so let me do that here!
I will forever be a sucker for tales that examine how history is made, who gets to tell it, what tales get prioritized and which get lost. You bring that front and center here, and the fact that you do it through the art of grandmother and grandson makes it all the more poignant.
As I said last night, I love your Fëanor--even as his own issues dominate his lessons with his son, he's very clearly a father who means well and cares deeply about his family.
When he sang the song to their family, Fëanor wept, and called him a true son.
For whatever reason, this was the line that got me the most. ;___;
