It's short and perfect and descriptive. Really, I don't know how it is when it's only a few lines long, but I can imagine the entire scene with your fic alone. I never really thought of the flames and the consuming love between Maedhros and Fingon, but it's a great idea.

wow! I never thought of that point but it feels a bit sad,though, if you go on to think about the implication... as if that the love for Maedhros finally consumed Fingon's life...

i can't believe i never reviewed this. i've loved it for *years*. it is without a doubt the best drabble i have ever read. i was sure i had already left a review, but as it appears that i haven't, i will do so now.

it's amazing what you can do in such a short piece. it's such a simple parallel you've drawn, but brilliant. it's a fascinating idea, truly. your description of fingon was perfect.

you really have a way with words.

I love that Fingon is a son of "Earth, of stone and mountain, whose roots go deep"- and that is a subtle difference between the two of them- the fire and the stone; the strength of each, the folly.

quite reflective! sometimes fewer words can say volumes more than, well, volumes could. nicely done.

Lovely. You don't need many words to get the message across here, and it's the first time I've seen this interpretation. *applause*

Bravo!

Oh, that's an interesting thought, and well-put. Good work.

Short, yet so effective. Very powerful ending, especially.
