Summary
Fëanor said, “Why do you think the Elf who made Ilimbë loved her?”
Nerdanel did not castigate him for the absurdity of the question. “Because she was beautiful, I suppose,” she said; “and all the Eldar love beautiful things.”
“But better to make a beautiful thing than to be one,” said Fëanor; “you cannot convince me otherwise.”
“Nor do I wish to try!” said Nerdanel. “But why do you think Ilimbë loved her maker, then?”
Fëanor had never thought of that question before. “Because,” he said, more hesitantly than was his wont, “well — how could she not? She was made for loving him.”

Fëanor, newly apprenticed in Mahtan’s halls, does not care that Nerdanel does not like him. Her statues are nice enough, but he has far more important things to concern himself with than her approval. And he doesn't think she’s pretty.
A story about art, mythology, and learning what exactly you were made for.

Summary
For a moment, he simply stares, staking another step back as if he could capture the whole better from a distance. His fingers still recall the precise way the final piece of carved stone slotted onto the rest, his lungs the breathless excitement of calling for the waterwheel to be unlocked, allowing the torrent of sun-glittering liquid to spew forth just as he had designed it.
And now it was here.
Bathed in sun, water babbling happily as it fell down the tiered steps, a music that had ever echoed in his dreams, it was done.
Ecthelion laughed, a breathless joy given sound as he watched his creation come alive. Here, in the centre of the home he had made for himself and his best of friends, it played happily, water jumping and trickling and splashing so joyfully it was almost painful, expressing all the love he had put into the crafting of it.
His fountain. -
