Omg! Since you're back, could we get the ending to the fireworks scenario? If you're not busy, that is, I just wanna see the family together

Ahh, yes! I completely forgot I never finished it! ✨

Here it is the end! 💜

Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four

“Jere!” Max shouts as he jumps off the balcony and looks at his brother. “Jere, please be careful with that! I don’t want you to get hurt!”

“I won’t!” Jere yells at him without turning around, putting the powder in the last few fireworks. “At least I don’t think so...” he says more quietly.

“Still, it’s not a good idea—”

Just as Max is about to run to Jere, Alex grabs him and roughly carries him over his shoulder.

“Leave the boy alone,” says Alex to Max, and he slowly walks to where Siliva is still restraining Derek.

“You big brute! Set me down!” Max kicks the air and pushes against Alex’s back to try and free himself. “That thing stinks of the witch’s magic! It’s dangerous!”

“Jere is a big boy. He knows what he is doing. And I went with him to see Krizia; it’s nothing too potent,” Alex says and starts to pat Max’s back in an appeasing way. “As long as you don’t put too much.”

“No!” Max yells as he goes straight to his captor’s weak point. His neck. He slides his fingers along Alex’s neck.

Alex falters momentarily, trying not to laugh or squirm from the touch. But that was all Max needed, as he successfully managed to slip from Alex’s grip and fall to the ground.

“Oh, you little—” Alex starts to say, but seeing Max quickly getting up and rushing to Jere, he launches himself and tackles Max.

Both land on the grass and start wrestling. Max tries to get free, and Alex to pin him to the ground.

“Jere,” you have retraced your steps and returned to his side. “Not to pressure you, but are you done?”

“Almost!” he answers. “It’s the last one!”

“Okay...” you mutter and look around once again.

Max and Alex are still struggling on the ground. Both messy and without their ponytails.

Derek still tries to push off Siliva a few feet away.

“Just— How—” Derek groans.

“Really, Dary, I’m not even trying,” says Siliva with mock disappointment. “I think you couldn’t even escape Lory/Locky.”

“Shut up,” Derek retorts, breathless.

“Mother will be very disappointed in you when she finds out,” she taunts him playfully. “It’s been a while since the last time you trained with her. And when she hears you’ve been neglecting your training, she will have you make up for the lost time.”

“Don’t tell my aunt—” Derek suddenly sounds panicked. “I’ve been busy. I—”

“She won’t go easy on you,” she teases him again.

“Done!” Jeremiah cries out victoriously, making you turn to him again. “All. It’s all of them. Now just—”

“The fire,” you continue for him, and realization descends on you both simultaneously.

“We don’t have fire!” Jere laments, throwing his hands to his head. “Now what?”

“I—”

“Young Master!” a voice calls out from behind you.

Delilah rushes towards you, holding a candle holder with a single lit candle. She tries her best to keep the candle lit as she navigates to you, dodging the two men on the ground and passing by Derek and Siliva.

“Damned woman,” Max says bitterly.

“Good job, Dela!” Alex laughs and calls after her, quickly returning his attention to Max when he tries to slip away.

“Delilah!” you say when she reaches you. “How did you know?”

“You haven’t been that quiet,” she laughs and passes you the candle holder. “But really, the Master told me to bring you this.”

You take a moment to look for Enrique, who’s by the house’s entrance with Lorian/Locke by his side. He catches your eyes and gives you a playful wink.

“Ready?” Jeremiah asks you, holding one of the fireworks in his hands. His eyes twinkled with excitement.

“Do it,” you answer, holding the candle for him.

“Okay, okay,” he murmurs. “Lit it with the image of what you want to see. Then to the sky it must be set free.” Jeremiah repeats the witch’s words as he lights the fireworks.

“Now!” you hurry him.

“Ahhhh!” Jeremiah screams as he hurls the firework into the night sky.

“What did you ask for?”

“I don’t know! I panicked!”

Then, a loud boom resonates in the night.

The squabbles cease. Everyone looks up into the sky.

In the darkness of the night, a multicolored dove emerges with its wings spread wide. It gives a few spins in the air before disappearing, flying on the horizon as it begins to fade.

“It’s so pretty!” Siliva says excitedly.

“I have to tell the others!” Delilah runs towards the house.

“It worked!” Jeremiah exclaims victoriously.

“A dove?” you ask him.

“When I said ‘it must be set free,’ it came to my mind ‘free as a dove,’” he laughs. “I mean, at least I think so.”

“Who cares?!” Alex suddenly yells. “Another! Jere, the one I wanted!”

“Right. Let’s see.” He takes another firework, lights it, and throws it to the sky with more confidence than before.

This time, the boom sounded more like a roar. It seems accurate as a big red dragon dominates the sky, moving its head up and down and finishing with its fire breath before disappearing.

“Sí!” Alex celebrates with a loud laugh. “It was worth it.” He then turns to look at the man trapped in his arms. “Will you now calm yourself and just enjoy the show?”

“Go to Hell,” Max answers without bite.

“Aw, such love,” Alex chuckles and finally lets Max go.

Both men stand up, Max trying to remove some of the dirt and grass on his clothes.

“Just leave it like that. You’re gonna take ages,” Alex teases him.

“I hate you,” Max says.

“I love you too, darling,” Alex laughs again as he throws an arm around Max’s shoulders and guides him towards you and Jere.

“Did you see, Dary?” Siliva shakes Derek excitedly. “The shapes moved! It looked so pretty!”

“I saw, Siliva,” Derek answers, looking around the garden and sighing in relief.

“The plants are fine, for God’s sake.” Alex rolls his eyes as he passes him.

“Lory/Locky! Uncle! Come to see!” Siliva releases Derek and turns to call them.

Derek begins to stretch his arms, but Siliva grabs him once again and throws her arms around his neck and shoulders.

“Let’s go see! Come on!”

And Siliva drags Derek towards you.

“What do you want to see?” Jeremiah asks you with a radiant smile.

“Let’s try a cat,” you say.

He nods, takes another firework, lights it, and hurls it into the sky.

By the time it explodes in the sky, everyone has gathered around you, all looking at the sleeping, curled-up blue cat in the sky. It wakes, stretches lazily, and takes off, running towards the moon as it begins to fade.

“Another!” Siliva laughs and jumps in excitement, still clinging to Derek.

He lets her be but moves closer, making sure she doesn’t fall.

“Livy, I think you’re strangling Derek,” Lorian/Locke says impassively as they come to stand beside them.

“I’m better than before,” Derek reassures them with a small smile.

Lorian/Locke nod in acknowledgment.

“Not trying to free yourself any longer?” Alex says to Derek with a taunting smile.

“I will not humiliate myself further,” Derek deadpans, and Alex laughs.

“I agree,” Max murmurs.

“Hey, you used to love hugs,” Siliva complains to Derek.

“Really?” Alex asks her in disbelief. “Mr. Don’t-You-Dare-Get-Too-Close?”

“Yes, he was so clingy as a kid!” Siliva says with a grin.

“That’s no—!”

“Yes, he was,” Lorian/Locke confirms.

Alex roars with laughter.

“Lorian/Locke never lie,” Max says, trying to hold back a smile.

Derek groans loudly and looks to the ground, a subtle red on his ears.

Enrique stands behind you and Jeremiah, placing a hand on your shoulders. He gives you a warm smile.

“What else have you got?” he asks you.

“Anything you want, Father!” Jere says enthusiastically.

And you spend the night throwing fireworks into the sky, illuminating the darkness of the night, and entertaining the moon with not just the changing colors.

I missed writing these long responses :) 💜

[moonlight-if-knight]

I saw you saying Tulip 🌷 is for our family. What are the other flowers for the other families? Also, do they have any meanings?

The flowers for each family are:

Mond - Marigold

Moonlight - Tulip

Delacroix - Lily

Lovelace - Orchid

Rosemerte - Sunflower

Each family crest will have its own flower.

And yes, there is a reason for each of their flowers. Someone chose them. And said flower represents the leader of each family.

In Mond’s case, the marigold (in Mexican culture, associated with el Día de Muertos) can serve as a bridge between the living and the dead, a guide for the souls of the deceased, or a symbol of life and death. This is for Layre.

For the Delacroix, the lily can represent beauty, elegance, devotion, and strength. Just how Belladonna acts.

The orchid in the Lovelace family is for sensuality, love, and charm. In this case, it’s for both Braxton and Ivonne.

Ironically, for vampires, the Rosemertes have a sunflower, for it means joy, optimism, and loyalty. A sunflower dutifully follows the sun, no matter what... So, what happens when their sun disappears? Madeleine knows.

And in the end, the Moonlight’s tulip. In Enrique’s case, the tulip doesn’t represent him but the thing he lost: perfect love.

[moonlight-if-knight]

Hey, just a question out of curiosity. Is there a reason why there are four houses (not counting Mond, since there's only one member), but the ROs are only from two of them (with most from ours)? I absolutely love this IF, but I can’t stop thinking about it.

Well, basically, it’s because they are the only ones with whom a romance could work 😂✨

In the Moonlight family, there’s Enrique and his four sons. Enrique isn’t available for... reasons. (Yup, I thought of making him romanceable, and I still haven’t entirely discarded the possibility, but for now, that won’t be the case.) Meanwhile, all the boys were perfect candidates. One of them can save you; you’ll spend a lot of time with them and get many opportunities to get to know them. They’re all open to romance and have something the MC could help them with. They’re the easiest options.

The Delacroix family also has four “young” members. But of those four, a romance could only work with two of them, Siliva and Lorian/Locke. Since they spend a lot of time in the Moonlight house, you’ll also get more chances to know them than their siblings. Eira and Liath don’t go to your home unless on orders from their mother. And they’re not as approachable as their siblings, so I can’t really see a way to make a romance work with them. And I have other plans for them :)

And Belladonna is also a no-no. For... reasons, also.

Now, the Rosemerte have two “young” members, too, Ariel and Rose. But these also won’t work as a potential romance. Rose is, well, Rose: immature and acts like a child. Ariel’s heart is already occupied. And Madeleine and Rasen love each other. So they’re not options either.

And for the Lovelace family, there are only three members. Braxton and Ivonne are still happily in love, too. They’re open about an adventure with the two of them and a third one, but not romance, really. They just need each other. And Drausio isn’t interested in romance. He’s a workaholic; he just focuses on his duties, that’s all.

So, I created a romantic option of every character that allows the MC to fit nicely into their stories: Derek, Max, Alex, Jere, Siliva and Lorian/Locke.

Every other vampire has their own agenda, motives, feelings, and stories, in which it is hard or impossible for the MC to fit as a romantic partner.

[moonlight-if-knight]

The Journal also needed a makeover :)

These are not final, some details could change, but so far, I very much like this version better than the last 💜

[moonlight-if-knight]

The achievements screen was too simple, and I'd been meaning to change it for a while.

This is how it will look like in the next update :) ✨

[moonlight-if-knight]

Derek ♥︎ Maximillian ♥︎ Alexandre ♥︎ Jeremiah ♥︎ Siliva ♥︎ Lorian/Locke ♥︎ ???

Poly route: Maximillian & Alexandre

GENRES: Fantasy, Romance, Fiction.

CONTENT WARNING: Blood, Mentions of Depression, Occasional Swearing.

More Info: Members of the Vampire Families

DEMO: Play here

It is the year 1863.

Your first memory is wakening up in a strange bedroom. You have no idea how you got there nor where you are. Worse still, you do not even recognize the face that stares back at you in the mirror. Your confusion increases when a man enters the room asking who you are.

"My brothers found you while they were going into the village. You were unconscious on the ground and covered in wounds. They brought you, and my father decided one of us would save you."

It seems that from now on you are going to live with them. What strikes you as odd, even without your memories, is the feeling that their lifestyle is peculiar. They only leave the house at night and do not consume food, only drink that strange crimson liquid. And now so do you.

No matter how strange, they are now your family. Enrique, the man the others call “Father,” does not tire of reminding you of that.

They have saved your life, are giving you a new home, and even giving you a spot in their family, supporting you in whatever they can. Is that enough for you?

Furthermore, there are other families like you. There are a total of five households, which are...

Mond. The mysterious and powerful leader. The first vampire.

Delacroix. The unforgiving and proud fighters.

Lovelace. The eccentric and flirty doctors.

Rosemerte. The kind and reserved diplomats.

Moonlight. The responsible and varied researchers. The family you now belong to.

All who share the same “curse” as you seem to get along well and live in harmony. Now, the real question is, how many are really honest? How long will the peace last?

It does not matter as you have the eternity to find out. This is only the beginning...

☆ Play as a just turned vampire with amnesia.

☆ Customizable MC: choose your name, nickname, appearance, gender, and pronouns.

☆ Choose your maker (4 possible options).

☆ Romance: 4 males, 1 female, 2 gender-selectable (one is a secret route), and 1 possible poly route.

☆ If you don't want romance, you could just make friends with everyone, or the opposite.

☆ Vampires aren't the only supernatural creatures around.

☆ The secrets you keep may have consequences later.

☆ Will you discover your past?

𑁍 Enrique Moonlight

"You are now one of us. There's no turning back."

Head of the Moonlight family, your family, and fatherly figure of the boys. He oversees the well-being of his family and all the others. A close friend of Mond, the first vampire, and the one in charge when Mond isn't around.

He is a caring and kind father. Although he is more strict and harsh with Derek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

♡ Derek Moonlight (RO)

"You have to learn how to live like us. It's not like you know any other way."

The eldest son. Distrustful, down-to-earth, and a natural leader. Always gives his best and takes responsibility for the family, being the one to resolve all the problems. He's honest, but he doesn't know how to express himself appropriately, which causes him to almost always make people angry.

Also, he's the most powerful using the mental abilities of vampires, just second to Mond himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

♡ Maximillian Moonlight (RO)

"You can start your story all over again. You can write it by our side."

The second son. Always with a gentle smile to offer and kind words to give unless you start questioning him about his past, which is a touchy subject for him. He's usually the mediator between Derek and Alexandre and the one who always supports Jeremiah when he wants to help someone.

He's a true angel and gentleman, right? Even if sometimes you can catch glimpses of his... not so gentle side?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

♡ Alexandre Moonlight (RO)

"If you're in any trouble and don't know what to do... Come to me, the best partner in crime you can find."

The third son. He may look intimidating, but in reality, he's easygoing, sarcastic, always finds time to crack jokes, and loves to tease and make fun of Derek. He likes to train with the Delacroix even though he doesn't like the family that much.

At first, he can be aloof or indifferent, but earn his friendship and you won't find a friend more loyal than him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

♡ Jeremiah Moonlight (RO)

"Even the smallest of kindness acts can make the difference."

The youngest, until you arrived. He is the reason you're still alive. He's a really empathetic and kind person, always ready to help anyone who may need it.

Something to keep in mind with him, don't get scared when you hear something go boom on his room, probably just another one of his inventions that went wrong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

♡ Siliva Delacroix (RO)

"You're now part of the family! Just don't let the sunlight touch you and you'll be okay!"

She and her sister, Eira, are the oldest of the Delacroix. She's protective of her family and tries to convince everyone to get along. Or at least not to be at each other throats. She can also be quite stubborn when her mind's set and very observant of her surroundings.

She mostly visits your house to take Lorian/Locke back home or to visit her uncle and cousin, Enrique and Derek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

♡ Lorian/Locke Delacroix (RO)

"If you want to talk about it, I can listen. On the other hand, if you wish to remain quiet, I will keep you company in the silence."

They're the youngest of the Delacroix. They don't talk much, are calm, are not very expressive, and are a good listener. Their inexpressiveness makes people think they're cold or cruel, but they just don't know how to express their emotions.

You can find them in your house very frequently as they're Derek's cousin and best friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

♡ ??? (RO)

"You have no idea... how lucky I feel to spend time with you."

[ Hidden ]

𑁍 Krizia Knight

Leader of the witches. A young woman who helps the vampires with their sun problems. She may be the person with the most energy you will ever meet. Spending five minutes in her presence could erase your bad mood and infect you with her positivity. Also, she's super impulsive, always going along with the first crazy idea that crosses her mind.

Just remember, do not let her bright appearance fool you as she is still the most powerful witch.

[moonlight-if-knight]

hi i’m wondering how many trans/nb works in this game. i know you can wake up as a different gender when you become a vampire which is def cool, but i was wondering why this is? did the turning make them their most true self or something? how does this make sense within the world?

love the IF so far <3

Yes, turning into a vampire brings out the true self of a person, in identity. But other people will recognize this, regardless of appearance.

Why? Well, vampires can influence people's minds, even unconsciously to some degree. It could be that the vampire influences the mind of those around them to make others perceive them as they want to.

I'm still fleshing this out, but at the moment that's my idea :)

[moonlight-if-knight]

Just stumbled across Moonlight today and was so pleasantly surprised when I saw the frequent updates on your tumblr! As someone who's been on a little vampire kick lately, I'm so incredibly excited to see this game continue. The characters are so charming already (Jere and Max especially! I chose Jere as my maker and he's such a sweetheart about it ), and the concept of the change in this universe nearly changing your whole identity is so particularly interesting (HRT by vampire change, anyone? Lol). I'm holding out to see the next update and I can't wait to watch the Moonlight universe expand. :] Good luck on writing and good vibes coming your wayyyy :> ❤️

I'm glad you're liking the story ❤️

Jere is the most straightforward and honest out of the four. He may not know everything, but what he do knows, he'll share :)

And yes, I'm still thinking on the best way to put it or show it on game, but turning into a vampire brings out your truest self. Turns you into who you really are. That's my idea, more or less.

And thank you for your support ✨️💜

[moonlight-if-knight]

So what would the Ro's and Father do if you brought home a baby kitten or puppy?

I’m afraid I can’t go into details on this one ✨

Spoilers 😉

[moonlight-if-knight]

How would mond and the brothers react to an mc that wants to out-spoiled Rose but only with her around? MOSTLY just to piss her off but also- "I'm the youngest now! Of all the families. I don't care if she was young when she died, that was decades ago. I don't care if the others never care about rose- i do. Spoil ME!"

Jere and Derek wouldn’t catch on that it’s because of Rose, just to annoy her, that MC acts that way, but they would comply either way.

Alex and Max, however, notice that it’s only when Rose is near that MC acts that way. They aren’t that close to her, so they would join in your rouse to make her jealous 😂

And Rose... oh, she would seethe just being near MC and their caring boys ✨

[moonlight-if-knight]

I am pretty sure ??? is not the father but.. it would be sooo funny if MC is going to be a step parent to the others... and an actual, real step parent to Derek which I think is just funny because imagine that for that probably hundreths of years younger person, knowing nothing of being a vampire or themselves, suddenly being your step parent. And the way exspecially Alex would probably tease Derek about it.

Oh boy

Going from being the baby of the house to being the Father’s babe— I mean, Enrique’s lover 😉, hence possibly the other head of the house, would surprise the boys so much.

While in Mond’s hierarchy, only the head of the house would matter, inside that house, it’s another matter. Although all the boys would be respectful, that doesn’t mean they can’t tease each other, MC and Enrique.

And poor Derek would be the most confused of all.

Someone around his age, his human age, is the new partner of his father. And if he thinks about his and Enrique’s real age, MC is someone more than two hundred years younger than them, it’s even worse 🤣

And yes, Alex wouldn’t waste any opportunity to tease Derek about it, and MC, for that matter.

“You knew what you were doing, weren’t you? Not going for the heir, but straight for the head of the house. Clever, kid.” ✨

[moonlight-if-knight]

I have a quick question.

I said before there are two ways to end Chapter One.

The first one is when MC stays with the Moonlight family.

But the second one is if MC escapes the house.

So, my question is...

[moonlight-if-knight]

I have a quick question.

But the second one is if MC escapes the house.

So, my question is...

[moonlight-if-knight]

Have the ROs ever killed anyone? I’m assuming as a vampire they’ve done it but as a human? Would they care if MC had as a human?

Only Max and Alex have killed while still being human. It’s part of their background. It will be boarded in the game :)

As for the second question...

 Derek, Siliva, and Lorian/Locke have the same time as vampires, which is... a lot. And they have more or less detached themselves emotionally from humans, so they would not mind if MC had killed before.

And while Max and Alex are significantly younger than the others, due to circumstances from their past, they would not mind either.

Jeremiah, however...

The poor baby would have so many conflicting emotions.

And I’ll intentionally leave ??? out of this :) ✨

[moonlight-if-knight]

wait, Alex and Max have something,going on with each other ⁉️⁉️

Yes, there is something between them. It's... complicated :) ✨️

[moonlight-if-knight]

Hi! If we choose to pursue Alex/Max separately, will they still have the thing/fling between them or will they be monogamous with MC?

If you choose to romance only one of them, they will end up their fling and commit only to you ✨

[moonlight-if-knight]

And finally, Mond's crest ✨
