Author's Notes: aeriss 444, I hope you enjoy this! Thank you for being flexible about your pairings. I did include Percival as a character. I tried to do justice to your prompts, and include your likes. There are a couple of geeky references in there. It was fun to write Gwaine; I have missed that guy! Merry Christmas!
Thank you to my friend gwyllion for an efficient beta and for finding all those extra spaces! And thank you to the mods for running this festival and for your clear and calm direction.

The engine was dead, to begin with. There was no doubt whatever, about that.

Gwaine Finn had a big grin on his face. There was nothing he liked better than a challenge, and the vintage TR-7 that had been towed to his shop definitely looked like it would be a good one.

The car belonged to the local lifestyle entrepreneur Morgana Pendragon, and was her pride and joy. She could afford to pay top dollar, too.
( more holiday cheer... )
