I would like to point out to Curumo that he isn't the one being impaled on a spike. (Not that I can really complain about that, since I am also writing unpleasant things being done to Celebrimbor in one of my asymptotically-approaching-completion WIPs.)

Snarking at Maiar aside, I really like that story. After reading the last chapter, I went back and reread the whole thing to get a sense of the arc, and I think it works very well -- the "Curumo + member of Mahtan's family + Elvish technological invention" in each chapter ties it together neatly. I enjoyed the character interactions, and I like the idea of Curumo as involved with Mahtan's family -- that's not something I've seen in fic before.
