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

The Apparition - Sleep Token - Vessel x OC 18+
'Do you remember me when the rain gathers?' Quiet, tall and slightly awkward in the way that made you think twice before looking away. But when he played, God, when he played. It was like the room listened. Music is the language he speaks most fluently, half improvised chords, half unspoken thoughts. Too sharp to be forgettable, too soft to demand attention. He didn't expect to be heard. He was never meant to be seen. And then Eden saw him anyway. (This story is entirely fictional, inspired by the music of Sleep Token. Told from dual perspectives - the 'man behind the mask' of Vessel. And Eden - the FMC. It explores a narrative detached from real-life identities or events. No real identities/names are ever mentioned or discussed. The events that happen are completely fictional. Everything within is purely a product of imagination.)Complete
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
