Eden Woods has spent his entire life searching for something. He spends his days working at a cafe in France, taking photos to pass the time, then going out on weekends, losing himself in the nights. Only, despite all the soul searching, he can never quite shake the feeling that he's missing something. Then, after a drunken, almost definitely accidental tattoo, Eden meets Avery. The one who did it. He's a tempest. Blustering and bold. Fiery and flirtatious. Avery Romano is a mystery in a bottle, and all Eden wants is to figure him out. Slowly, Eden starts to think that maybe Avery is exactly what he's been searching for. When Avery begins to frequent Eden's cafe, the two begin to forge a bond, and slowly but surely, their paths begin to grow together like intertwining vines climbing up the same wall. For a while, life goes on. Then obviously, things get complicated.

Current Word count: 595,945 Contains entire series on AO3 and Tumblr. Upon request, I will be adding chapter word counts as a short note on each one. The Love You Want series, detailing each vessels acceptance of Sleep, how they all fall in love, and Vessel's journey to healing. They were destined for it, to love and be loved in return, and no amount of hesitation or fear on Vessel's part could stop the entwining of their souls. (WRITTEN ABOUT THE CHARACTERS O N L Y NEVER THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MASKS Sleep Tokens music inspired and is referenced heavily throughout this entire series, which I feel is a given. All plot is a product of my mind's imagination and any accuracy to the real people is unintentional (except for known things like eye color, hair color of certain individuals, the instruments they play, things said in the few public interviews and of course, the Alpha Wolf hoodie.)

You didn't come on tour to fall in love with a drum tech. You came to do your job-quietly, professionally, with your camera in hand and your walls up high. But Sam Hallett doesn't make it easy to stay guarded. He's everything you didn't expect behind the scenes of a masked, mysterious band-quietly funny, endlessly patient, always watching out for the people around him while staying out of the spotlight himself. He doesn't flirt. He lingers. He doesn't push. He waits. And when he touches you, it's like you're something precious. Thirty-five chapters of quiet backstage moments, late-night bus rides, gentle tension, lingering looks, and a love story that grows between the noise. This isn't a whirlwind romance. It's a slow burn. A steady flame. And maybe, if you're brave enough to hold on, it's everything you've ever needed.

He was a lover boy who craved affection like a drug. Each touch, each whisper, each longing gaze a temporary high he could never quite sustain. The need to love, to be touched, to be seen, radiated off him in waves. He begged the world for devotion, only to choke on the echo of those who couldn't give enough. Drowning in the emptiness that applause and adoration could never fill. She was a storm dressed in skin, a girl who made an art of self sabotage. Her past was a tangle of scars and half healed wounds, a map of trauma that made destruction feel like home. Addicted to ruining the very things she craved, poisoning her own desires just to prove she couldn't be saved. The sweeter the taste, the faster she shattered it, because nothing terrified her more than having something worth keeping. Because admiration can't cure fear; and love can't erase the patterns of the past. IV (Ivy Guitarist from Sleep Token ) x Sloane FMC ( Guitar tech )
