She should have died beneath the waves.
Instead, something ancient answered.
Drawn into a world of forgotten gods, impossible devotion, and horrors lurking beneath the sea, Selah finds herself bound to a man called Vessel-a guardian of secrets older than memory itself.
As the line between salvation and worship begins to blur, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:
The abyss has never forgotten her.

A Siren's Song: From Salt and Blood
The sea remembers every promise broken. Mazikeen was born of storm and song - a siren whose voice can bend the will of men and still the tides themselves. When her queen commands her to wed a high fae king, she agrees for the sake of peace between sea and shore. The ocean grows restless, its tides dark and uneasy, but Maze tells herself it's only nerves - not omen. Far from the waves that shaped her, she must learn to survive among fae courts built on power and deceit, where beauty is a weapon and kindness can kill. Yet beneath the glitter of diplomacy, something ancient is stirring - and when betrayal comes, it will awaken the storm within her. Because the sea does not forgive. And neither does she.

The Summoning (Sleep Token FanFiction)
Making a deal with the God of Sleep wasn't exactly on my bingo card, but neither was getting caught up in a sacrificial ritual. The four men in masks saved me only to bring me to their own church of worship, telling me I can't go home because of the debt I owe. But a pact made long ago with the God and the one they call Vessel has me questioning my trust in them, especially when the standoff-ish Vessel of Sleep, the leader of the group, seems to know something I don't. The only way to learn the truth is to delve deeper into their lives, digging up my own buried past along with it... This is a slow burn romance mystery. Warning ⚠️: talk of suicide, murder, self harm and abuse along with sexual content. I also use swear words occasionally Word count: 85,661 Sequel: TelomeresComplete

Ashes To Sleep
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.Complete

The Love You Want (sleep token fic - Polyvessels)
Current Word count: 645,441 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.)

10-Feet Sea God And His 5-Feet Human Bride
For over a thousand years, the Sea God has ruled the endless oceans, his power feared by mortals and worshipped by kings. His storms shape empires, his tides decide the fate of nations. Yet beneath his immortal strength lies a single, unfulfilled desire-an heir. He has crowned countless Sea Queens, each one chosen for her beauty, her magic, her divine blood. And each one has failed him. The sea remains silent, barren, and his throne grows colder with every passing century. Until one night, against every law of nature and every curse of the gods, a fragile human girl carries his child. She is everything he despises-mortal, weak, fleeting. He has drowned cities for less than a whisper of human defiance. And yet, inside her grows the one thing he has longed for more than power, more than eternity itself. Now, torn between hatred and desire, vengeance and hope, the Sea God must choose: Will he destroy the girl who embodies everything he loathes... Or protect the fragile spark of life that could finally break his eternal loneliness? A tale of forbidden love, divine wrath, and the one bond strong enough to shake the heavens-the bond between father and child.Complete
