arguably the best russingon take is that long before the Revolt of the Noldor and all that followed, long even before Fëanor drew a sword on Fingolfin in the king’s hall, Fingon, alone out of everyone, saw in Maedhros the sparking potential for the ruthless killer we know by the end of the First Age…and, “valiant” being a rough synonym for “adrenaline junkie”, was like, “I can’t believe I’m going to sleep with him.” (Turgon: “You don’t have to.” Fingon: “No, I’m gonna.”)
