and this has made me wonder to what degree I simply adore the romance dynamic in this book because I absolutely want to: like yes, give me vampire polyamory with decent writing and a serious but not grimdark tone and I am on board just like that.

But there's also the aspect of it just being delicious wish fulfillment. Like oh no, our self-doubting wet cat of a protagonist is being told he's worthy of kindness by two beautiful, powerful, dangerous people who take him under their wing and just implicitly start protecting him from those who have abused him in the past, even before he realizes that what's happened to him is abusive in the first place.

Maybe I don't need a logical explanation for why these two powerful vampires - who have a history of picking up dying strays and nursing them back to undead health, if you remember - see a kind, competent and unfairly shunned guy and go "we'll get him out of there, and if he's up for it we'll take him into our lives and our bed".

everyone's favorite Filipino vampire hunter in all his Castlevania-esque glory

anyways Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco is a pulpy masterpiece of queer action and romance and I cannot recommend it enough if you are into literally any of those things
