The Fall of Minas Tirith by Michiru
Fanwork Notes
Morgoth learning now of the defeat of the sons of Finarfin, and the scattering of the people of Fëanor, hemmed Fingolfin in Hithlum and sent a great force to attack the westward pass into the vales of Sirion; and Sauron his lieutenant (who in Beleriand was named Gorthaur) led that assault, and his hosts broke through and besieged the fortress of Finrod, Minas Tirith upon Tol Sirion. And this they took after bitter fighting, and Orodreth the nephew of Finrod who held it was driven out. There he would have been slain, but Celegorm and Curufin came up with their riders, and such other force as they could gather, and they fought fiercely, and stemmed the tide for a while; and thus Orodreth escaped and came to Nargothrond. Thither also at last before the might of Sauron fled Celegorm and Curufin with small following; and they were harbored in Nargothrond gratefully, and the griefs that lay between the houses of Finrod and Fëanor were for that time forgotten.

Summary:
In after days historians would forget much about the Dagor Bragollach, and many things were left out of the Quenta Silmarillion, written with the gift of hindsight. But the coming of Celegorm and Curufin to Nargothrond was at first held as the greatest fortune to come to the Noldor out of that battle, for by their aid alone did Orodreth survive the fall of Tol Sirion.
