I was thinking jokingly about how if Idril is alive in post-War of Wrath Valinor and Finrod is alive in post-War of Wrath Valinor and Turgon is not, Turgon is taking at least a millennia to heal before coming out of Mandos, then Finrod is 100% like, "Free daughter!”

...and then I realized that Finrod very likely promised Turgon just that at some point between Elenwë’s death and the retreat to Gondolin. And now I’m sad.

#the silmarillion #finrod #idril #turgon #fall of gondolin #aman ever after #idril is grown now - she has a husband and son; she has led a people in desperate but organized retreat #she was something like co-queen regent of hte noldor for a few decades with lalwen on balar while gil-galad wasn't quite grown #she missed so much of what in retrospect she wishes she'd seen but she was there toward the end after finrod wasn't #and then they both missed the last war itself; idril asleep and finrod restricted to aman #during hte march across the ice finrod used to use spare energy to Sing starlight into gems for her to hold until they faded #they end up crying on each other in a pleasant little house in tol eressea until tuor gently asks if they'd like to have dinner
