They say you should never fall for the mask - but what if the man behind it was everything you never knew you needed?
When Isobel and her best friend Kate somehow end up face-to-face with Sleep Token's mysterious frontman after a show, it's supposed to be just a once-in-a-lifetime moment. But then Vessel messages her. And suddenly, late-night texts turn into secret meetings, stolen touches, and a connection neither of them saw coming.
He's supposed to be anonymous. She's supposed to keep her distance.
But some things are too magnetic to resist - and Isobel's about to find out what happens when you fall for the voice that makes the whole world listen.

The Night Shift | Sleep Token
One night shift in Boston changed everything. When an onstage accident forces Vessel, the mysterious frontman of Sleep Token, into the hands of a trauma nurse named Kennedy, their worlds collide. What began as a patient-provider bond quickly fractures into something deeper, a secret sanctuary for two souls navigating their own unseen wounds. But distance is a cruel mistress, and as they navigate the miles between Boston and London, the shadows of fame begin to bleed into their reality. As Vessel struggles through the darkest chapter of his life-fighting depression and mourning a family death while crafting the Even in Arcadia album-he must decide if he can truly be the man Kennedy needs, or if the shroud was the only thing keeping them safe. Tropes: Hidden identity Celebrity-non-celebrity pair Long distance relationship Doxxing Angst Medical drama Family tragedy Trauma/PTSD Suicide Military ⚠️Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction created for entertainment purposes only. While inspired by the public personae known as "Vessel", "II", "III", and "IV" from the band Sleep Token, the characters portrayed in this story are entirely fictional.

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 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.)
Love Notes
** Jamie lowered himself so that his face met mine. "Are you stupid?" he spat, cocking his head to the side. "Jamie!" I cried between gasps. "You're hurting me." Pulling my head forward a few inches, he then slammed it back against the wall. My ears began to make a sharp ringing sound, forcing me to close my eyes just to try and silence the pain. ** Isobel Tully accepts her abusive relationship as something that's meant to be, a karmic consequence of her past. She believes wholeheartedly that she deserves nothing better than her life with Jamie... But then she meets local musician Will. Kind, funny, insanely attractive Will... and he just so happens to find out her secret. As her existence at home becomes more and more unbearable, Isobel must decide if she's willing to risk her life for the opportunity to have the one she's always wanted, but will she get tangled up in a web of lies before she gets the chance? Content Warning: There are some very descriptive scenes of physical, emotional and sexual abuse/ violence. There are also descriptions of rape which could be upsetting.

Sleeptoken fic (y/n x band members)| Our paths were bound to cross
When her world was a symphony of financial struggle, (y/n)'s passion for music was a quiet, secret beat she feared would never find its rhythm. A desperate message to up-and-coming drumming sensation II was a final, hopeless prayer. To her shock, he answered not with pity, but with a challenge: one free lesson. That single lesson became a doorway. As a student, then a roommate to the enigmatic band Sleep Token, (y/n) finds herself immersed in the creation of something divine. She forms a quiet understanding with the stoic II, a playful camaraderie with III and IV, and a deep, unspoken creative connection with the band's haunting frontman, Vessel. This connection feels more like worship than friendship. Will it ever blossom into something more? But as the band's star rises, they must leave their shared life behind. The silence they leave behind is deafening. Years later, a VIP ticket and a job offer from the now-world-famous band pull her back into their orbit. The easy friendship with II is now layered with unspoken history, and the creative spark with Vessel has simmered for years into a slow, burning ache. This time, the music isn't just a calling, it's a confession.

"I think you've really got to wait and see how things play out.
