Sleep Token's third album marked a real shift for the band, one that would lead to them gaining more attention and fame than anyone could have ever imagined, both for better, and for worse. This is my full dissection of the album, and why I found myself unable to really enjoy it.

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

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.)
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
