Summary
For all Tolkien's changes to his family trees, one thing remains the same - Fëanor is the only son of Finwë without a daughter.
What if that changed?
Meet Lórefindë Nartissë - she's a linguist, the baby of a very big family, possessed of an unfortunate temper, and has a tendency to start fights (then gleefully watch her brothers finish them).
She's also recently been married to Oropher, great-nephew of Thingol through his father Galadhon. Or, rather, eloped with him.
Without the consent of either of their families, but that's irrelevant, and also kind of how elopement works anyway. By this point they're all grudgingly getting along because there's no way to undo a marriage between two elves who want to stay married.
The point is, Oropher now has to keep straight all of his wife's family. He never had any problems like this before - his own family consists of less than a dozen people, while the Finwëans are notoriously...numerous.
Here is a glimpse into one attempt at this.
