She doesn't have a name.
Not because she doesn't deserve one, but because he never asked.
Not aloud.
She came to every performance.
She never spoke. Never screamed. Never reached for him like the others did.
But she watched.
Eyes like moonlight, hands folded at her chest.
Still.
Reverent.
Vessel noticed her the first time because she didn't try to touch him.
He noticed her the second time because her lips moved with the words, like a prayer.
By the third show, he was looking for her before the first note.

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.)
Vessel's Beginning
THIS IS AI GENERATED BASED OFF THE SONG LYRICS. ONE: Sleep seduces Vessel, offering solace from past mistakes but initiating a toxic, manipulative relationship. Vessel succumbs, believing Sleep to be his only escape from guilt. However, Sleep exploits Vessel's vulnerability, gaslighting him into dependence. TWO: Vessel attempts to prove devotion to Sleep, even committing violent acts against his past lover, Eden. Sleep, satisfied, tightens its grip, while Vessel begins to reflect on his actions and toxic entanglement. JAWS: Vessel fully offers himself to Sleep, conflating self-destruction with love. His sense of agency erodes, though moments of clarity spark internal conflict. SUNDOWNING: Vessel oscillates between romanticizing his relationship with Sleep and recognizing its destructive nature. Despite doubts, he clings to the connection, increasingly aware of how much he has lost of himself.Complete
The Silence Between Heartbeats
She never noticed the eyes that followed her through shadowed alleyways, across crowded streets, and even in the dim corners of her favorite café. To her, he was a stranger-silent, composed, yet always there. To him, she was oxygen, the only thing worth breathing for. His obsession was a slow-burning fire, consuming reason until love twisted into something far more dangerous. Every smile she gave someone else felt like a theft; every moment she spent away from him was an unbearable wound. He knew her habits, her fears, her dreams-details she never told a soul. But the more he watched, the more he wanted to own her completely. And when a man like him decides he can't live without you, escape isn't an option...it's only a matter of time before the hunter steps out of the shadows.Complete

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
