Summary
II, III and IV are on what can only be described as a suicide mission. No one had beaten the ruler Antigonos in 15 years, the man knew every step of every plan and had annexed several kingdoms already, spending unimaginable amounts of money for his army and his own lascivious way of life.
It was almost as though he had a prophet whispering in his ear and a never ending stash of pure gold in the dungeons of his stronghold.Bookmarked by scathingvampire

Summary
When you unknowingly drink divine blood during a church ritual, you're thrust between two worlds of magic. The masked servants of Sleep—mysterious, dangerous, yet strangely protective—claim you as their own, while the village medicine woman offers sanctuary from their control. As your powers bloom uncontrollably, you discover a shocking truth: beneath the dark magic you're being taught lies another path—one of healing rather than dominance. With ancient creatures seeking your touch and forbidden knowledge calling to you, you must choose between submission to Sleep or embracing your true nature, even if it means risking everything.

Summary
When he first saw the winged creature in his dreams, he’d have sworn it was an angel.
You’re too late! He wanted to scream. I’ve needed you all this time, and it’s only now when you show up!
When it had offered him something better, promised a future and a path forward, he’d laughed in its face.
Why? He had asked. Why now?---

Summary
II's hoodie lifts up to expose a strip of pale skin. Vessel’s eyes are drawn to it, unused to seeing this part of him without a layer of black paint. Absently, his gaze drifts downward, to the band of black lace below. It’s woven with a motif of intertwined hearts and flowers, too feminine and frilly to be mistaken for anything else.
II is wearing women’s panties?!

Summary
You and Declan beat the odds and managed to find your way back to each other. Now that you've got each other, there's a whole new set of challenges and growth for the two of you to face together. But there are some things neither of you could have predicted, that are outside the scope of what you'd expected from being with him, and sometimes you have to wonder if the odds you'd beaten before had merely been a warning of what was to come.

This is a follow up to my With Somebody Who Loves Me series. I'd recommend reading those fics first for the most context and emotional impact but this will likely be able to stand on it's own.Bookmarked by scathingvampire

Summary
Following a dubious lead from some travelling merchants in a blind attempt to save the man she loves, Merit leaves her home and seeks the aid of a mysterious and powerful Mage: one who has the ability to perform miracles. What she finds is not what she expected, and when the price of the miracle is merely six months of her own life lived with the Mage and his three apprentices in the crumbling sea-side manor where they live, the woman gathers her courage and agrees to the terms. As she lives alongside the strange and magic-touched men, she learns the lengths people might go to in an effort to protect the ones they care for, the price of devoting yourself to the wrong person, and what it might mean to love someone in the true way.

Summary
Cold and corporate. Impulsive and selfish. Hypersexual and abusive. Angel Chapman can be described as many things. At one point, she even defined herself as a fan of the anonymous metal band, Sleep Token. But when she got more than what she paid for (or arguably a taste of her own medicine) from the lead singer, she’s sworn them off for life.
But can she uphold that vow when she advances her career, moving to London to work at one of the Big Four accounting firms and inevitably bumps into the band members again, one by one?
This is Part 2 of her story: how she overcomes her challenges with love, forgiveness, acceptance, and vulnerability. If you haven’t yet, you should read Don’t Meet Your Heroes, as its backstory will be heavily referenced here.

Summary
I've never been more in love with music than I am with Sleep Token, and falling in love with the music had me imagining who these people were behind their masks. Needless to say, this piece is inspired by who I imagine might be behind the lyrics, but I'm not using any names - real or suspected. I've got so much respect for these musicians and want to note that this work is ~completely~ fictionalized courtesy of my maladaptive daydreaming.
The premise is that Audrey and Noah are meeting in person for the first time when she flies to London solo for a Sleep Token concert. During her trip, Audrey falls even harder for her longtime internet friend-turned-love as they explore the city and spend quality time together - but there's a big secret that Noah isn't quite ready to reveal.
I won't get into details Part Two, but it's being actively posted as of October 2024!
