40 parts Complete Mature
When artist Abigail Harker was hired to design a new mask for the mysterious frontrunner of the band Sleep Token, she knew she was being offered an amazing chance to further her career - but had no idea what other opportunities might be in store. The story of two slightly broken artists teaching each other to love and accept love in return, despite all the difficulties of dating when business, mental health struggles, and nosy bandmates seem determined to get in the way. Alternate summary: Vessel falls in love and makes it everyone's problem.

The Love You Want (sleep token fic - Polyvessels) by TickleMeEmo
38 parts Ongoing Mature
Current Word count: 574,872 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.)

Meeting sleep tokens' bassist after one of their concerts wasn't on her bingo card. But then again, she didn't. Blues is just another person, with his tired eyes and boyish smile, who appears to share a lot of interest with her. But why not stay with each other? To find comfort in each others arms? Just for tonight. In a short while, their connection turns into something truly out of the ordinary this is purely fictional and yes, while the general setting and names are more or less loosely based on sleep token, i made their characteristics up in my silly little head ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡ !big big shout out to the wonderful @lowkeyrobin who created this cover and has been a steady source of input for me! !dividers are by @saradika-graphics on tumblr! !started March 03 2025!

The Night Shift by sinisterpotat0
22 parts Ongoing Mature
When Vessel - the enigmatic frontman of the band Sleep Token - suffers a brutal onstage injury during the final leg of an American tour, he crosses paths with Kennedy, a tough-as-nails night shift trauma nurse. As she cares for his shattered body, they discover in each other a mirror to their own unseen wounds. Bound by pain, music, and resilience, the two form an unexpected bond - one that defies fame, fear, and the world's shallow gaze - fighting side by side to heal, to dream, and to be truly seen. ⚠️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. To respect the privacy of the real individuals behind their monikers, different names have been used in this narrative. Any resemblance to real events or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Vessel was already feeling vaguely crazy that night, but there's something extra batshit insane about walking into a bar an ocean away from home to find some guy covering your own song.
The Apparition - Sleep Token - Vessel x OC 18+ by Lost_In_Eden_
26 parts Complete Mature
'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.)
Cleanse Me with Pleasure by PurpleMirror
2 parts Ongoing Mature
As usual, Vessel was petrified. You'd think since he'd been a musician for all his adult life, and the lead singer and composer for his band for years he wouldn't get stage fright anymore. But you'd be wrong. He does. Every. Single. Night. There's only one thing that helps. Well, one act, three people. Sex. With them, his bandmates. II, III and IV. Notes: there is no mention of band member's names or real identities in this fic. There is definitely smut. Polyvessels (eventually). I'm not 100% how long this fic will go on for, but I have a few more ideas for hopefully around 10 chapters so far and more may come as I go along. Content Warnings: Brief discussion of alcohol use (ab)use. of anxiety and panic attacks Discussion of BDSM
The Summoning (Sleep Token FanFiction) by TheBeautifulBroken
56 parts Complete Mature
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: Telomeres
Unmasked Devotion by NoveliaRamey
61 parts Complete Mature
When you're the daughter of Sleep Token's manager, you never imagined your life would change the moment you stepped onto tour with them. Between long nights on the road, stolen glances across crowded rooms, and conversations that felt like secrets only the two of you could understand, one thing became undeniable: Vessel was no longer just the masked frontman of a mysterious band-he was the man who held your heart. But love is complicated in a world built on shadows, secrets, and stage lights. From hidden dates to late-night confessions, and from the chaos of touring to building a life together, this is a story of love that refuses to be silenced. ✨ A romance of music, mystery, and devotion. ✨ From strangers to soulmates, through storms and serenity. ✨ Until forever becomes reality. Because sometimes, love isn't just a chapter-it's the whole book.

AND JUST LIKE THE RAIN A love story between Vessel and OC in between touring, being doxxed and writing/recording Even In Arcadia. Act I: Past Self Socially-anxious, troubled musician meets bubbly barista with an aura of pure sunshine. Will they be able to find what they're looking for with each other? Or will unhealed trauma from the past, his secret identity, a protective brother and his bandmates keep them apart? - He falls first - Forced proximity - She is off limits - Slow burn love - Socially awkward encounters - Hidden identity - Adult content Act II: Emergence While Matthew and Lizzie try to build up their newly established relationship, Matthew's fame rises some unwanted attention. Will he be able to keep himself together as he tries to deal with everything he never asked for? And will Lizzie stay by his side through the drama that nearly tears them apart? - Trauma put into expression - Doxxing identities - Bullying - True love always wins? - Spicy content - Soulmates - Tourlife Act III: Infinite Baths Lizzie and Matthew's love has proved to be strong enough to overcome the hardest issues, but as Matthew seems to evolve into a stronger version of himself, he finds that life is not done throwing hurt at him yet. Will writing and recording a new album give him enough distraction? - Better person - Overcoming trauma - Healing - Finding happiness - Closure - Hurt - Kinky content - Happy ending? NB; This is an ungoing work in progress. In no way are the identities of the Sleep Token bandmembers given away in this fanfiction. Names, situations and places are completely made up by me. I understand the fact that the Sleep Token members are real human beings, so their personalities in this story are what I liked them to be rather than how they might be in real life, since I do not know them at all. Stay respectful!
