    Summary

    I've never been more in love with music than I am with Sleep Token, and falling in love with the music had me imagining who these people were behind their masks. Needless to say, this piece is inspired by who I imagine might be behind the lyrics, but I'm not using any names - real or suspected. I've got so much respect for these musicians and want to note that this work is ~completely~ fictionalized courtesy of my maladaptive daydreaming.

    The premise is that Audrey and Noah are meeting in person for the first time when she flies to London solo for a Sleep Token concert. During her trip, Audrey falls even harder for her longtime internet friend-turned-love as they explore the city and spend quality time together - but there's a big secret that Noah isn't quite ready to reveal.

    I won't get into details Part Two, but it's being actively posted as of October 2024!

    Summary

    When being passed over for a job collides with the past on her heels, the last thing Sera Hale needs is the threat of being sent back to America. When a long time friend tells her about an opportunity to work as a housekeeper, she doesn't hesitate to show up for the interview. She'll take whatever she can get, even if her new employer wears a mask and cape 24/7.

    He wasn't going to hire Sera, however when he learned of her situation it brought out an empathetic side and learning that she was mute brought out a curious one. His curiosity soon becomes fascination as his new housekeeper settles into her role. Although, his fascinations would soon become his downfall into actions punishable, the deity Sleep doesn't care for distractions.

    She was the distraction he didn't need.

    He was the one person that could possibly reawaken something that had dissolved long ago.

    Sleepless nights, regretful decisions, threats from her past and the wrath of his deity should be enough warning, but is it?

    Summary

    Vessel had always imagined Sleep to be a symbol of his own trauma, something to cling to so that he wouldn't feel completely alone in this world. but what if that symbol wasn't a symbol at all but a real entity he had been praying to without realising it? and what if once that door is opened he cannot stop the series of events that are soon unfold...

    Nothing is as it seems. Nothing lasts forever.

    Summary

    Out of the shadows emerged an inky figure. He was tall, his height aided by the long, thin robe he wore and the hood fit over his head. Was this Vessel? The man looked like a demon fresh from hell, the only sign of humanity found in the pale skin showing through his body paint and the flash of white teeth where his mask cut off.

    “The event coordinator sent you to find me?” Vessel asked, his voice made for wicked melodies. No wonder the man had followers ready to worship. With a voice like that, he’d captivate any audience.

    Summary

    A composer takes an interest in a reserved musician who’s laying low between tour dates with his band.

    This is a love story centered around music, particularly classical music! It should be a fun time whether you make sense of the terminology used or not — but just in case, I'll be adding a musical glossary to chapters that use terms that might not be common knowledge.

    New chapter posted every day.

    (As always, no actual names are used in the interest of band anonymity, and characters are entirely based off stage personas.)
