   Summary

   Fingon clapped the stranger on the shoulder as he cheerfully informed Maedhros, "Fealasso here is the captain of your bodyguards. They will keep you safe during your community service in Alqualonde and Tol Eressea."

   Maedhros closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose as he struggled for patience.

   Or, Fingon outmaneuvers Maedhros. It’s for his own good, of course.

   Chapter 2 Summary: In which Maedhros is determined to do everything he can to make up for his crimes. And in which Fingon is determined to support Maedhros (and has no intention of giving Maedhros a choice about it).
