Current Word count: 574,872 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.

Meeting sleep tokens' bassist after one of their concerts wasn't on her bingo card. But then again, she didn't. Blues is just another person, with his tired eyes and boyish smile, who appears to share a lot of interest with her. But why not stay with each other? To find comfort in each others arms? Just for tonight. In a short while, their connection turns into something truly out of the ordinary this is purely fictional and yes, while the general setting and names are more or less loosely based on sleep token, i made their characteristics up in my silly little head ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡ !big big shout out to the wonderful @lowkeyrobin who created this cover and has been a steady source of input for me! !dividers are by @saradika-graphics on tumblr! !started March 03 2025!

Charlotte is a young woman and professional photographer. After three years of education, she's pretty talented but it's hard to keep her head above water, as the orders she's getting are only poorly paid. Luckily one day she meets someone who introduces her to a new job. Thankfully she accepts it, not knowing what will go along with it and how that simple job is meant to change her life forever.

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 )
