Best way to grind Night whispers and S-Threnodys?

Being a bit of a perfectionist, I am hoping to stock up on at least six Night-Whispers and seventy-two Storm-Threnody's before good ol Mr.Sacks comes round for the winter; and I was wondering what the best methods to grind out each in bulk were? I have heard that both expeditions in the Forgotten Quarter and occasional bouts of Déjà vu can occasionally yield Night-Whispers, and trading for one with the Relikers is always an option (Albeit one I would like to avoid if possible)
Storm-Threnody's on the other hand, I know of only one reliable way to gather; so an alternative method would be wholeheartedly welcomed!
Being somewhat less exceptional than some of my peers, I was wondering what the most efficient use my time would be in this endeavor. A special thanks in advance to those who are willing to share their knowledge with me!

Night-Whispers make up a good 10% of the 604 Deep Blue Heaven runs I've done, so expeditions are definitely a decent source. If you need them quickly, however, then you can either get them from the Shivering Relicker or through the Fidgeting Writer. We're far enough away from December that I think any method would be perfectly fine.
The simplest way to get Storm-Threnodies would probably be to get Journals of Infamy through Thefts of a Particular Character and side convert them into Correspondence Plaques. From there you can convert up into Storm-Threnodies. If you plan on doing expeditions for your Night-Whispers I would recommend doing those first since you might get a few Storm-Threnodies while hunting those Night-Whispers down.

The gallery of serpents has excellent financial rewards, but no chance of a night whisper. The other fate-locked expedition might, I don't recall. Both are fun, though.

Doing it in batches of 100 should be safe however. SO LONG. As you plan on doing more in the future. I've done 10 batches of 100, here and there across a year, and only one of them has given me nothing as a result. And even then I'm fairly sure the chances of that happening are rather low. Well, obviously you can do it in as small or as big batches as you like. But you should be prepared to do this thousands of times if you want it to be more than a simple gamble.

Night-Whispers: the only semi-reliable source I can think of for these is via the Tale of the Fidgeting Writer.
Storm-Threnodies: you can upconvert these from Primordial Shrieks, which you can get from Unfinished Business in Ladybones Road. If you have an Overgoat, you can get them from the associated opportunity card, albeit with difficulty.
(If what you're after is A Taste of Lacre, consider stocking up on Tears of the Bazaar, too.)
