I’m vaguely tempted to write a Gwindor centric fic after I finish Love Not Wisdom, but I’m not sure that’s the greatest idea, for a few reasons:

Editing Love Not Wisdom, I’m really seeing how much trouble I’m having with Beleg’s voice. It’s not that I’m bad at it, it’s just he’s formal and poetic– while I shine when I’m writing from the POV of someone snarky and opinionated and aggressively informal. I can feel myself writing with one hand behind my back. And while Gwindor of course wouldn’t have the same voice as Beleg– it’s similar. (Then again, his voice might end up thecleanstreets-ish, which I at least have experience with?)
It’s going to have a geology motif. It’s inevitable. And I’ve already done a fic with a geology motif. A Silm fic focused on a torture survivor, no less! But there’s part of me that’s all like “But now you have a better idea of how ore deposits form, and Angband will make more geological sense than Gondolin did! And isn’t metamorphism such a good metaphor? :D And you could work our what the quenya for ‘chalcopyrite’ is!” And just– I don’t want to be one note! I get fixated on weird symbols and motifs at the best of times! More geology probably isn’t a great idea!
