Summary
“I hardly believed it,” said Maedhros. “What are you doing here?”
"I bring a message from my father."
Maedhros blinked. "Really?"
Fingon grinned. "I believe his exact words were: you're visiting who, well if you must you must, say something suitable, something something friendship something something kinsmen, tell him good job keeping my brother's sons out of trouble, I'd rather wrestle another ice bear myself – but don't say it like that!"
_Fingon goes to visit Maedhros, accidentally arrives during a Fëanorion family reunion, and quickly regrets many (but not all) of his life choices.

Summary
"Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”
“No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.
Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”

Summary
Then the swan-ship was still, for only the two of them were left alive on it. There were other bodies, many of them. The fighting must have been fierce. Maedhros looked at Fingon, and Fingon at him. They had been close in friendship once, but they had not spoken to one another in many long years. Not since the day when Fëanor had held a sword to Fingolfin's breast, before the gates of the house of Finwë.
_Fingon does things for love, from Alqualondë to Thangorodrim.

Summary
"Maedhros, forgive me for saying it plainly: if you bound yourself to him just to bind him to this battle, then it was not well done. It was not—" the frown failed, and Maglor just looked embarrassed now, for sincerity did not suit him, "—not kind."
"I did no such thing," Maedhros said.
"But you did marry him."
"Not for this battle," Maedhros said. He smiled to himself. This memory had never been a good one before. "We have been wed these four hundred years."
