My Brilliant Career
News of Angmar's death upset me about as much as news of Saruman’s defeat. And at the hands of a woman! I’ll be smiling for Ages.
All the same, these Wizards and Witch-kings. But who's laughing now? Put not your faith in spells; put it in steel, alliances with eastern potentates, and a mighty fuck-off war machine. How often have I said that?
There’s a rabble at the gate and a man who would be King. But I have a sword, a brooch, and a mithril-coat, and I’m not afraid to use them.
Today’s going to be a good day.

ETA: Tweaked! Hope it works now. Thank you, eagle-eyed one!

And Put not your faith in spells; put it in steel, alliances with eastern potentates, and a mighty fuck-off war machine. How often have I said that?. Just the whole thing, really. Corners of my mouth still twitching at inappropriate moments at the thought of it.
