A ficlet that hits a whole host of prompts!  I apologise to all concerned, but the combination was too tempting to resist.

Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers

"Where are you sleeping tonight, Aragorn?" Elladan demanded.  "In the stable with the horses?"

"No!" Elrohir protested.  "That would be a torture for the poor beasts.  Bree has laws against animal cruelty."

"Well, he is not sharing with us again!"

Aragorn ignored both his brothers with the tolerance of long practice, and continued with his meal.

"The boiled beef is not so bad," Elladan continued, "It is those things."  He pointed to some soggy green lumps on the plate.

"They're sprouts," Aragorn said indistinctly, his mouth full.  He swallowed.  "Barliman grows them himself."

"Well, in that case, you can sleep in his room tonight," Elrohir told him. "They have a most unfortunate effect on you, little brother.  They make you windy!"

N38 | Istari in Bree

[huinare.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: “Papery” (Textures).
Format: Ficlet
Genre: General
Rating: Gish
Warnings: Evolution and booze practically mentioned in the same sentence?
Characters: Gandalf, Radagast, Saruman, Alatar, Pallando
Summary:  Gandalf learns something interesting about Rhovanion in the marketplace.  Saruman remains unimpressed with Gandalf’s hat.  Alatar and Pallando bethink them of farther lands. 

Author's Note:  This is rather a pivotal, though not dramatic, moment in my newly-arrived-in-Middle-Earth-wizards story arc.

Most of the chapters, including this one, can work as short stories in their own right; but the whole bloody thing can be found at Many Paths to Tread, filed under the title "Istari, circa 1040.."  Sometimes sections go there that I don't end up posting here.

( Eriador holds all the stories Valinor has deigned to listen to; but this continent, as we know, is vast. )
