Summary

Companion story to The Works of Curufinwë. Here, I give a name to Curufin's wife, and speculate on what her relationship with Curufin may have been like.
This is the story of Curufin's family, of the two people closest to his heart. His wife Tancaquárë, and his son Celebrimbor.
For the sake of his great love for his father, Curufin tore apart what he treasured the most. He wounded them grievously, and crushed his own spirit in the process.
Yet, despite everything, this little family's love endures.
