Summary

Then he sees a battered snare drum in a charity shop window for a fiver, and it speaks to him.This is an AU to The Book Of Tears - same names, different timeline, some similarities, many differences. (But you don’t need to have read any of my other works to understand it)

Summary
III wouldn’t admit it, not even to himself, but he was really fucking fond of IV from the minute they met when IV joined the band. They’d been inseparable ever since, even during III’s moments of being a total British dick in a shit mood and IV’s ever-present horrible habit of leaving his rolled up socks on the living room floor.
Vessel and II always point it out as stupid little teasing jabs here and there that they argue like an old married couple, which always leave III’s cheeks flushed, and, what seems like a permanent scowl-line between his eyebrows.
IV has, on multiple occasions, mentioned to III that there are serums that would help with that. It happens in the bathroom while III is brushing his teeth right next to IV, and III has to fight the urge to somehow use his mind to shrink IV down just small enough to flush him down the toilet. IV giggles, and so does III, and fuck, maybe Vessel and II are kind of right. Maybe they are an old married couple.
III doesn't understand why it was so easy for him to let it happen, why Sleep put IV in his path, when III is definitely not the type to let someone in like that. III doesn't get why he can't just let himself open up. It should be easy.

Summary
He could never get away. Right when he thought he’d slipped out of its reach, its arms would wrap around him with a vice grip and drag him into the murky depths. Sleep.
Or, II has narcolepsy. He lives his days mindlessly, drifting between imagination and reality, until his life is saved one night by a mysterious stranger. He knows nothing about the stranger, but there is one thing he knows for certain: he never wants to let go.

Summary
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, a protective brother and his bandmates keep them apart?Tropes;
- He falls first
- Forced proximity
- She is off limits
- Slow burn love
- Trauma put into expression
- Who hurt you?
- Socially awkward encounters
- Hidden identity
- Kinky adult contentNB; This is an ungoing work in progress.
It has become way longer and more detailed than I intended it to be, solely for the fact that I got lost in the world I created and in the characters this story is about.
If you're in for a long ride with human life along the rockstar drama and some tasty sexual scenes, then this one's for you 🫶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 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.Bookmarked by futurefreaked

Summary
“Vessel?” His gaze snapped down to the man standing next to III. He was much smaller than him, his head about level with IIIs shoulder and he had a surprised look on his face. A face that was vaguely familiar. Vessel frowned as he tried to think about where he might have seen the man before, when it hit him.
“II?” The man, II, started grinning and nodded.
“I can´t believe you´re here! How long has it been? 15 years?”
“Yeah, I think so.” Vessel mumbled.or Vessels mental health is absolutely in the gutter and the guys are going to fix it

Summary
He curls in on himself, tucking his legs under the bench, but his knees knock against the table, too long, too big, and it sends his eyes burning. It makes everything within him burn. “It’s not exactly possible, but I’ve always wanted…to feel small, sometimes.”
“Just sometimes?” II says.
His face burns. “It doesn’t matter. Most people laugh like it’s some sort of inside joke, but I get why. Those are soft things and I'm the furthest thing from that. I don't get to be.”
“But you wanna be?”
He swallows, looking away. “Doesn’t matter. No one’s wanted to.”
“What if I did?”
He blinks once, then twice. “Huh?"
Or, the one in which Vessel keeps getting confused for an alpha, II keeps getting confused for an omega, and somehow, that is the starting place of everything.

Summary
Hey, mate. We never heard back from you about the upcoming NA tour. Did you and your lawyer get a chance to look everything over?
III sighs, forcing himself to sit upright in spite of the ache in his back and the dizziness that threatens to turn into nausea the longer that he goes without water. Dehydration was always a pain in the ass, but after three straight nights of partying, his body is practically begging for relief. He eyes the text once again, re-reading it over and over until the full weight of the words sink in. Every text he ever receives from Vessel feels like a tether around his chest, and he can’t decide whether to pull free or suffocate quietly in compliance with his wishes.
It reels him in closer to a self-image that he doesn’t want to recognize.
The point is, III doesn’t want to go.

Summary
His mind just won’t shut off. It’s the same thoughts running on loop in his brain, bouncing around his skull. He wants someone to come take his mind off them, to reassure them that they’re not true. But that’s precisely the problem.
III’s been slowly pulling away from the rest of them these past few months. He doesn’t know what exactly started it all, but he knows that it probably should have come earlier. He doesn’t know how Vessel, II, and IV have put up with him for this long.
It hurt to come to that conclusion, but he eventually realized that, to put it plainly, he was annoying as fuck.

Summary
IV wakes up in a ditch - clothes torn, body bleeding, head full of static - with no memory of who he is or how he got there. All he knows for certain is this: the world was undone by disease, and the people who survived aren’t just lucky, they’re dangerous.
Somehow, IV is even more than that.
A chance encounter brings him face to face with three strangers who might become something close to home… or be the ones to lead him straight back into the fire. As they journey through a fractured world, IV must piece together the truth of who he is, what was done to him, and what he's willing to become.
OR
Post-apocalyptic road trips, found family, mutual pining, and the shadows of a past IV can't remember.Bookmarked by futurefreaked

Summary
Ivy’s not looking for a pack. He’s not even looking for permanence. He just needs another gig to pay the bills until his own band takes off, and playing guitar for an anonymous band on the rise sounds easy enough.
Until he meets II.
The little Omega is already claimed, twice over. Entirely off-limits. Untouchable. Marked by a Dominant Alpha with wolfish teeth and magnetic charm, and another with an imposing frame and an unsettling, unshakable calm.
Ivy doesn't submit. Not to anyone else, and not even to instinct; but something inside of him buckles the moment that II's visage fills his gaze and blinds him.
-
Or, IV imprints on an already bonded Omega, II. Either he keeps it strictly professional, or he learns how to submit so that he can find a place within an established pack that doesn’t quite need him… but might just want him anyway.
Established Vessel/III/II, with eventual Vessel/III/IV/II.

Summary
Emma just wanted a simple magical boost to win a writing contest, not a snarky and handsome demon bound to her soul. But after summoning the wrong hellspawn, she ends up stuck with Vessel: a sarcastic, shirtless chaos entity who won’t stop flirting or stealing her snacks. Now they’re magically tethered, emotionally entangled, and dangerously close to something much scarier than a pact gone wrong... feelings.

Summary
“So why the Hell would I join another band? There’s nothing for me there. My life is here. Not with whoever the fuck you are,” IV snaps, and he turns to walk away angrily.
His wrist is snatched as the man follows him, and he pulls IV to a stop, but IV doesn’t turn to face him. He doesn’t want the man to see the traitorous tears in his eyes. He thought he was over this. He thought he could face his past and just let it go, but these people are dragging up all his worst memories and he just wants to go home.
“I’m sorry,” the man says softly. “I’m sorry for whatever happened to you and I’m sorry you think you can’t make music anymore. But I don’t think you want to give up on it, do you?”
Or,
After a horrible car accident, IV isn't the same anymore, and he refuses to ever touch a guitar again... Then he meets III.

Summary
III breaks the silence. “I think I will go down to medical, actually.”
IV stares at him for a moment and then takes a deep breath. “Would you like some company?”
II looks at Vessel, who looks abashed at his own behavior, and thinks that it serves him right. II looks back at the way that IV looks tenderly at III and feels a traitorous glimmer of hope in his chest.
“Yeah, if you don’t mind,” III says, and he follows IV out the door.

Summary
Changeling. That's what Ivy's village called him, once. Before the Thing from the woods slaughtered them all and left only himself and his mother alive. In the twenty-odd years since, the two of them have lived in seclusion, far from civilization. Far from anyone who could see him for what he's believed to be.
Then his mother dies.
With nothing left to lose, Ivy returns to his birth village. He finds it abandoned, an empty husk of what it was, and the woods burnt near to nothingness. But Ivy finds no peace, and he knows there will be none until he finds the beast that destroyed everything he had.
He'll confront it at any cost. Even if that means he must journey into the heart of the Singing Forest.
But in doing so, he learns there is more to life than what he once thought.
