Is Fëanor actually speaking ill of Fingolfin? Of course not! Finarfin would not engage in such juvenile behavior. The conversation is innocent, wholesome even, a mere jest or anecdote...
(...but Stars above, doesn't it feel good to have Fëanor's attention, all of it, all on him, even if for just a little bit?)
Fingolfin, of course, knows better than anyone when Fëanor is trying to get under his skin. Unfortunately, 'knowing better' does not confer immunity to annoyance...
(... or anger... or spite ... or... envy...?)
I plan to continue this with future art (or maybe even a fic, if I am particularly brave)! I hadn't considered this pairing until taking on this prompt for the Fest, but I'm very glad I did!

Original Prompt for the Curious:
Pairing: Fëanor/Finarfin or Fëanor/Fingolfin/Finarfin
Warnings: Incest
Prompt: Fëanor who decides that a great way to get under Fingolfin's skin would be to show Finarfin favoritism (some kind of fucked up "it's not because you're my half-brother that I hate you it's because you're you") & then he ends up actually liking Finarfin and they end up sleeping together and then maybe Finarfin finds out about why Fëanor even started paying attention to him to begin with and reacts badly (or he already knew and is just kind of like meh about it up to you!) Super fine if this ends up spiraling into a Fëanor/Fingolfin/Finarfin ship instead!
