Sorry if I put words into your mouth, War Bringer...
However, I really don't see how you envisage Feanor and Fingolfin's reconciliation happening. Fingolfin has been led by Feanor into attacking the Teleri. He is the under the Doom of Mandos, due to Feanor. He does not even get a chance to sail on one of the captured ships, due to Feanor. Due to Feanor, he has to cross the Helcaraxe, where many, many of his host-including Turgon's wife, his innocent daughter-in-law, Elenwe-have lost their footing and been drowned.
"Small love" indeed he hath for Feanor. In fact, that's something of an understatement.
Feanor kindled the Noldor to war; but in peaceful ways was not so persuasive. The Teleri could not be urged by him to ferry his host, for example. In any case, Feanor was always bitter about the children of Indis, and may not have wanted to lower himself to negotiations. In other words, on Fingolfin's side those wanting revenge outnumber those wanting peace; on Feanor's side the host is gripped by its lord's fey defiance of any enemy.
This is potentially a terrible war-the Noldor could wipe each other out. Thingol would very likely help Fingolfin. In other words, Feanor is not a universally admired or accepted figure as Fingolfin becomes after Maedhros' abdication. Far from being conjoined, it would take a miracle to stop the hosts coming to blows.
