#but alas! i cant reblog the post somehow

[child-of-hurin]

Gonna propose an angle here:

Nothing unites two people like a secret. The Noldorin excuse for the Mereth Aderthad is the Fingolfinians forviging the Feanorians and letting bygones be bygones -- but the cement is the Fingolfinians becoming the Feanorian's secret keeper, them meeting the Lindar as a united front.

Like, afaict this fandom doesn't much consider the possibility that Fingolfin and his people might have sought revenge, or at least washed their hands off the Feanorians. They might have sought an alliance with the Lindar and offered the Feanorians' crime as a proof of frienship, a sacrifice to justice. Nobody needed declare war on the Kinslayers: if the Lindar and the Fingolfinians (and whoever else) were hostile to them instead of welcoming, how would they have fared in complete isolation from their kin?

But Fingolfin doesn't do that, of course. He arranges a big party and sends for ambassadors of all people. Fingolfin is a highly competent leader and his reasons are practical, but of course feelings weighs in too. His son is a Kinslayer. So the Noldor host a feast and invite the Lindar. My brother killed your brother, my kin killed your kin, but I'm going to embrace you and smile and make vows of friendship and none shall be the wiser.
