ExtinguishedLight

When Lucien McNamara’s father remarries, he meets his new stepbrother Blaise Laurent. Blaise, the black sheep of his family, is promiscuous, conceited, and callous - but also magnetic, charismatic, and seductive. Lucien is immediately entranced by him. Blaise, after having a falling out with his uncle Raphael (an object of brooding and obsession for Blaise, and the only person who seems to actually get under his skin), must return to his family’s home to live. However, none of his family seems to want him there - especially his mother. Lucien takes pity and attempts to befriend and fix Blaise, but Blaise keeps trying to seduce Lucien. Lucien resists, knowing Blaise doesn’t love him, but continues to try to help him, and he finds himself more and more entangled with this enigmatic but frustrating being. Then Lucien makes a shocking discovery - Blaise is a vampire! Not only that, but he was turned by his own Uncle Raphael, an evil man with whom he has a very twisted relationship. Uncle Raphael wants Blaise to join the Vampire Nobility, but Blaise actually regrets being turned into a vampire. Lucien begins to see the cracks in Blaise’s callous exterior as slowly he begins to let Lucien into his heart. Can Lucien help Blaise find his way out of this dark world, or will he be dragged down with him?

My Stepbrother, the Vampire (BL)

Lucien stood in the study, the morning light streaming through the tall windows. His gaze fell upon the desk where Blaise had left a note the previous day. He approached the book it was hidden in and picked up the letter, handling it with care. Tucking it into his vest pocket, he made his way upstairs to his room, where he could read Blaise's words in solitude.


Sitting by the window, Lucien unfolded the delicate paper, his eyes scanning each line penned by Blaise's hand.


I hope this letter finds you well, though I fear it will not. I am truly sorry for the pain I have caused you. The thought of it weighs heavily on my heart, and I wish I could undo the strife I've caused between you and your father.


I am grateful for your efforts in keeping us safe, even though it means I can't open my window anymore (as I am also affected by your methods of protecting the house from Raphael). It reminds me of the lengths you've gone to protect me.
