Gandalf’s No Good, Rotten, Really Bad Day

It never fails. I pull up the main page and Boum! I'm hit with a story that catches my eye.
Gandalfs_apprentice...this was hysterical. I loved it! It was a most delightfully funny AU and the very last line, Manwe's "Now get the hell out of here" made me crack up. Thank you for a much needed laugh!
Cheers,

Thanks for your comment and recommendation on "Gandalf's No Good, Rotten, Really Bad Day." It was great fun writing it, I got rid of a lot of wicked irreverence in the process.

I approved this a couple of weeks ago, and it delighted me to see it accepted into the archive. Thanks for the chuckles - funniest story I read in quite some time.

Hey, Werecat
Thanks for your good words and your vote. I wrote this originally for the Bookverse Improbabilities Challenge. Leaving that letter with Butterbur really doesn't make much sense, does it? Kind of too hard to believe for a wizard as wise and far-seeing as Gandalf. I just followed the incident to its logical conclusion. As for the broken sword, well, what can I say? If anyone can come up with a good explanation for why Aragorn was armed only with such a thing, I'd like to hear it.

I forgot to mention that this part made me laugh out loud at work and get curious looks 
"If only he had had a whole sword and a knife or two, he could have fought them off. Why in Middle-earth was he running around Eriador with only a broken sword?"

Congratulations! I was really happy to see that your awesome story got the awards it deserved. The tone was just perfect. I love to read fic about Saruman and his servants. More! More!
