Summary: Who's laughing now?

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.

Hah ha ha haaaa, that's made my morning... Perfect.

Missing an "a" in the last sentence? Hope that doesn't throw the word-count out?

You're welcome...

I had to come back and say how utterly I love the title. 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.

*cackle*

This was quite amusing. I'll second (or third) the approval of Put not your faith in spells; put it in steel, alliances with eastern potentates, and a mighty fuck-off war machine.

Ah, "brilliant" is right! What a snarky bastard. I was going to try to do this prompt, but I don't think there's anything more I can add. ;)

Fantastic. I'd have never thought of writing from his pov, and you really made it believable.

And he's not afraid to use them? Pride goeth before the fall this time! And he'll see just what use that fuck-off war machine will prove, once three small figures associated with that sword, brooch, and mithril coat reach the Sammath Naur!
