Treasure Chests

I read another version of Fingon saving Maedhros from the mountain again today. It was really good. Hell, it's always really good. I have read this story and versions of it over and over again for months now and I always love it. It always thrills and hurts and sometimes it makes me cry. The one I read today did. I even know exactly what is going to happen in them, but it's still just so amazing.

Some stories, some moments in books or songs or movies, or what have you, are treasure chests. No matter who opens it, they will always find wealth inside. Tolkien wrote tons of such moments, but I think Fingon's rescue of Maedhros is my favorite.
