I think that at some point after reincarnating in Valinor, Celebrimbor should get married and have a child. I want the sparkiest family line in Arda to continue. I’m specifically imagining a scene like,

[Name TBD], tired but smiling, holding her newborn daughter: Her name is Curufinwen.

Celebrimbor, buzzing with Brand New Dad! energy but permanently conscious of his family’s legacy: Are you sure? That’s kind of...loaded...

[Name TBD], experiencing a brief prophetic vision of her daughter launching an intercontinental ballistic missile at an incoming giant void spider in Dagor Dagorath: I’m sure.

(Curufinwen grows up to be a merely decent smith, by her family’s standards, but she excels at calculations mathematical, mechanical, and chemical. She is the greatest engineer and explosives expert the Eldar ever know. Many years after Curufin is released from Mandos and just a week or two after Fëanor is, multiple exciting new lights and explosions have already emanated from the area of Tirion occupied mostly by those called the New Jewel-Smiths. Mandos is heard to say to Manwë, “I fear I have erred once more in my judgement. I did not sufficiently consider the effect of there now being four of them.”)
