Summary
This could not be explained by confusion. Time too must have bent in the shadows to set him so far afield and without their notice. Even distracted as they were by the ivy and the nightingales’ melody, surely he could not have strayed so far without—the nightingales sing in time with the queen’s spirit. Truth rushed over him and he leapt from the saddle with a cry. “Balan! Stand, move no further!”
Finrod attempts to bring Balan to Menegroth as emissary of the Edain, the Girdle does not approve, and Finrod has words with Thingol on the matter.

Patience Is A Virtue (A Companion to The Seven Gates) by Laerthel

Summary
Maedhros sends Amrod and Amras to Doriath: their task is to try and convince Thingol to hand over the Silmaril willingly and join his Union to defeat Morgoth. Against all hope and expectation, the twins actually try.
Oneshot; set within the narrative frame of my 'The Seven Gates', during the six month timejump between Chapter 30 (The Lord of the Gap) and Chapter 31 (The Second Betrayal). Also, chapters 36 and 37 will be a lot funnier if you read this first.

Summary
This is a weird one-shot I wrote half for Doriath week on Tumblr, half because I'm a depressed bitch even though it's October and also I planned it in an hour in philosophy class and wrote it at midnight that same day while being under the influence of drug-like novels. Yeah, that happens a lot. Like Angela Carter. She makes my brain go wonky. Sorry, this was really going to be like the other one in the series (Nature Morte) but then shit happened and I sort of lost my focus point. Anywaaaaaay, the summary is: Melian mourns Thingol's death and disappears into the forest.

Summary
Another family of refugees, another empty promise of protection. Much to Thingol’s frustration, Menegroth cannot hold indefinitely, and so Melian unleashes her power.
