When Christmas Lights Spark Love and New Year’s Eve Changes Everything

I never set out to make Jade Strings or Scarlet Veins part of the holiday romance club. But somewhere along the way, the glow of Christmas lights and the sparkle of New Year’s fireworks sneaked in, and I think they worked a little magic.

🎄 Christmas in Jade Strings

Azriel isn’t the kind of guy who spills his heart out, especially not around a Christmas tree. He’s guarded, he’s cool, and he definitely doesn’t do big, sappy moments. Or so he thought.

But then he steps into Sera’s world, a warm, chaotic swirl of family, traditions, and holiday cheer, and suddenly, he’s not so sure. It’s all so… comfortable. So right. So terrifying. Before he knows it, he’s holding a wishing star and whispering a quiet hope for love, for success, and for the courage to believe he deserves them.

Sera, meanwhile, has her own star to hang. For her, Christmas is about redemption. Forgiveness. She wishes for love, but not the fleeting kind. She wants love that lasts. Love that doesn’t leave. And as Azriel watches her hang that star, he starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, he’s already found his place in her life.

✨ New Year’s Eve in Scarlet Veins

By Scarlet Veins, the holidays bring even bigger emotions. Azriel isn’t wishing anymore, he’s decided. Sera is his universe. She’s the only person who’s ever made him feel whole, and he’s ready to make her his forever.

Sera knows what she wants too: Azriel. She doesn’t just love him, she needs him. But it’s more than that. She wants to protect him, to give him the happiness and safety life has denied him. Together, they’re two imperfect people figuring out how to be each other’s everything, one step at a time.

New Year’s Eve becomes their turning point. Under the fireworks, it’s no longer about what they’re wishing for, it’s about what they’re choosing.

Why Holiday Magic Fits Their Story

The holidays in Jade Strings and Scarlet Veins aren’t just glittery backdrops, they’re moments where love shines brightest. From quiet wishes to bold declarations, Azriel and Sera’s journey is about finding the courage to open their hearts and fight for the love they never thought they deserved.
