Ash Morrigan never believed in gods, let alone ones that fed on dreams. But when sleep becomes a battlefield and her body begins to slip between worlds, she learns the truth: she is the last living key to an ancient curse-a soul tethered to the Realm of Sleep, where gods are real, monsters are memories, and every desire has a price. Vessel, the masked emissary of the god Sleep, is sent to retrieve her. He is not supposed to feel. He is not supposed to want. But Ash awakens something in him that even divinity cannot suppress. As he guides her deeper into the shifting, myth-soaked lands of dreams, desire spirals into obsession. Together, they face ancient creatures, gods of decay and hunger, celestial courts, and fragments of Ash's own forgotten past. Her body becomes a temple, a weapon, and a battleground-craved by darkness, haunted by loss, and worshipped by Vessel with savage reverence. But Ash was never meant to survive the journey. She was meant to be sacrificed. And Vessel was meant to deliver her. Unless love ruins everything.

NB; This is an ungoing work in progress. In no way are the identities of the Sleep Token bandmembers given away in this fanfiction. Names, situations and places are completely made up by me. I understand the fact that the Sleep Token members are real human beings, so their personalities in this story are what I liked them to be rather than how they might be in real life, since I do not know them at all. Stay respectful!
