Title: The Ghost of Christmas Eve
Characters/Pairing: Rose Marshall and Harry Dresden, mention of Gary, Emma and Mister
Word Count: 4479
Rating: Worksafe
Summary: No one wants to pick up hitchhikers on Christmas Eve... except, of course, someone who just can't ignore a damsel in distress.
Notes: Written for ordinarygirl for a Yuletide treat. The timelines probably don't match up at all - post SHR-canon, somewhat flexible in TDF-canon, but presumably some time before Blood Rites. Luckily for me, Butcher doesn't believe in giving actual... dates...
Disclaimer: Sparrow Hill Road, Rose Marshall and the ghost roads belong to Seanan McGuire. The Dresden Files and Harry Dresden belong to Jim Butcher. Gary and Mister belong to their respective snarky narrators.
