I really like this! It comes off a lot more even-handed than many of the stories I've read about the burning of the ships, indeed, I would say, more even-handed than canon portrays these events, and thus, a lot more realistic. I like that Maedhros is conflicted -- he almost wants to burn the ships, but at the same time, he gave his word that the ships would be sent back.
And Feanor crying over Finwe at the prow of the ship, face in the spray so his tears won't be noticed, augh, my heart.
