She thinks of the shard of Morgoth’s crown stained with Fingon’s blood, and how powerful it is, a sacrifice freely given. A sacrifice made out of love. The same echoes in between the lines of the letter that is still hidden in her drawer, Maedhros Fëanorion reminding her of something she, in her naivety, had not assumed he could ever feel.She loves her husband. And she can see the path he is descending down, falling out before them both into pain and heartbreak.She picks up the quill, and continues to write.

In one of her meadows, towering over all the other trees, her arms as branches reaching skyward, Yavanna stirred, and reached out to the little shadow as it made its way west, catching it as she caught baby birds who fell out of their nests, and cradling it in leafy arms. Her thoughts reached out to Estë's with the feeling of a sudden frost, shocked into stillness. The wounded shadow was one of their own—it was Melian.
