Summary
The impossible happened: a Silmaril has been stolen from Morgoth’s crown. Maedhros decides to reunite the People of Beleriand against the Enemy and attack him while he is still unprepared, which is by no means less impossible. Meanwhile, in the hidden city of Gondolin, Lord Glorfindel of the Golden Flower pursues the meaning of his recurring dreams – only to realize that he is not the only one to see them...
|| A novel-length canon gapfiller on the Union of Maedhros, the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and the downfall of the Sons of Feanor; plus my take on what could have been going on in Gondolin between the Bragollach and the Nirnaeth. ||

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.
