This fic is dedicated to Rim! (attheleast) -- check out her fics + I love her she really is very sweet <3 

A/N

(As noted on my AO3, I am shamelessly dedicating this fic to 2 different people because phew Twitter friends + y'all mainly exist on different platforms anyway. My not-so-flattering analogy was that y'all can think of it as separate mistresses in different countries. If you look on AO3 this is addressed to another friend)

I would have posted this HOURS AGO but I had to board my plane and had not named this stupid word splat by the time my 4G died. TIL that China has not blocked AO3 and AFF (which comes as a surprise to me.) Am unfortunately unable to access Twitter via the Internet at Pudong Airport but eh that can come later. At least I've met my "post this when it's still Xmas in some other country" deadline :")

The struggle to write summaries + name this fic is also real.

This fic started off as an excuse to use as many Christmas prompts off Twitter as I could (Tumblr: Imagine your OTP...). I squirm at writing canon pieces but eek here is one? Wanted to include all the members because I love them all and their dynamics are important! I also note that I know that I'm not particularly explicit about their relationship dynamic - this was intentional! Also cut the year off at 2015 because that's the first OT5 Red Velvet Christmas.

Anyway, I hope everyone's gonna have a good year ahead!! (Cry at me @goldfinchex on Twitter because wtf was that Seulrene Instalive I am still a puddle...)

And yes, Merry Christmas all!!
