Author’s Note: I had no idea when I signed on for this how crazy doing this would be. It took me four times as long as any of the other ones I’ve done for this round. I have to thank
bookwrm89 and
morwencath for keeping me sane and letting me bounce a lot of ideas. I mean, a lot. Sometimes while holding slices of pizza with two pounds of cheese on it in a hotel bar. I also have to thank the mods of
reel_torchwood for allowing me to co-opt characters from other shows to fill out the minor characters because have you seen how many characters are in this movie?
Disclaimer: The characters of Torchwood belong to the BBC, He Who Shall Not Be Named and, I’d argue, Steven Moffatt (at least for Jack). The storyline and characters of Love Actually belong to Richard Curtis. The characters of Merlin Emrys and Arthur Pendragon (this version) belong to the BBC and Shine; the Supernatural fiends belong to Kripke & Company; Elle, Gina and Hannah are mine.
