sunnyskywalkerLotR canon intimidates me with its hugeness, but there's nothing like practice to get more comfortable with it. I have tried to look up enough chronology and character backstory not to screw up too badly.
On the bright side, I have the perfect icon for this drabble.
Title: Saruman the Wise
Fandom: Lord of the Rings (Disclaimer)
Categories: Gen, PG
Word Count: 100
Summary: Shortly after the White Council's banishment of the Necromancer, Saruman decides that he must handle matters his own way from now on.
Secure within his black fortress, Saruman paced. The White Council had banished the evil which had long haunted Mirkwood--because those fools would not heed his wisdom. Better to let the enemy think himself secure, he had said, and watch him carefully. He would eventually grow careless and betray his secrets; then Saruman would use the enemy's own power to defeat him. But they had addled their brains on birds and halflings.
Saruman stopped. They would not do what was necessary, so he would take the risks alone. He strode to the center of the room and seized the palantÃr.
