Summary
The Even In Arcadia Tour is winding down in the US. There are only a few people in the world who know the man behind Vessel's mask, and even fewer who know about his medical condition. When his body stops sweating during a show, a 34-year old Attending ER Physician is pulled backstage to keep the mysterious singer alive. It's so hard for Sleep Token to let anyone into their inner circle, that when it happens for life-saving reasons, Dr. Anna Thompson is asked to stay on as Vessel's physician for the rest of the tour. When put together, the woman who hides behind her work and the man who hides behind his mask might just find their way into each other’s worlds.

"I like to claim my victories with witnesses around, but I'd hate to risk a fellow warrior his job." She put her hand on his arm, feeling his warmth through the thick fabric of his suit, "I agree to your terms then, just the two of us. Wh-" Before she could finish her sentence, ask him about what he planned to offer her when she won, a voice she's only heard in dreams she'd deny having sounded out.
"Make it three." There, lit up by the hall's glittering lights, polished beskar almost glowing, stood Din Djarin.

Months after Din had left without a goodbye, Bo-Katan finds herself at a banquet in Plazir-15, seeking to drown her sorrows with a warm body. Unfortunately, Din is there too.

Gwyn was spiralling.
So fast and hard she barely could keep her grip on the world she had clawed up Ramiel for.Azriel was burning.
So fierce and wild, he couldn’t help the long-forged walls that he had built going ablaze.Some scars, no matter how different, look the same in the dark.
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, both spinning and flaming to the depths of the past? What happens when hidden scars are revealed, and we step into the shadows of our hearts?
Set post ACOSF, a Gwynriel story.

The insinuation didn’t make her mad. It didn’t comfort her. But it did strike a chord. “My instincts are the only reason I’m alive. They’re why those children in Sangravah survived.”
Azriel descended to the grounds of the river house. “Then perhaps you should listen to them.” He set her down gently and the moment she opened her mouth to retort, he cut her off. “I told you I would wait. I meant it.”
His words rendered her dumbfounded. They were the words of a male devoted. A male who knew her far longer than Azriel had. But she didn’t reject them, because her tears over his broken body had been the tears of a female who had lost a part of their soul. A female bound to him.
“Shall we?” said Azriel, gesturing up at the river house.
And Gwyn nodded, for she knew no words.- Language:

She's used to caring for the wealthy and privileged, but this might be her toughest assignment yet. The band hires private registered nurse, Saoirse, to accompany them on their months-long trip around the country after Vessel is diagnosed with a debilitating disease in the hopes of getting him well enough to finish out the U.S. leg of their tour.

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 august_waves08

Summary
A collection of small stories, mostly regarding Vessel and his strange, probably toxic but also ancient and unknowable god. Mostly quiet slice-of-life, thoughtful introspection, and metaphors in the shape of oceans; there's some multi-story plot-driven things as well, which lean more towards liminal horror.
I like to experiment with writing styles in this series, going for more loosely-structured to hard frameworks, as each story needs.
(also, as an aside: this is not RPF/bandfic, but the stage personas and characters only.)

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.

Shipwrecked on a bizarre, baren island of constant overcast and seemingly zero coordinates... you wonder how much longer your spared life will last. With you ship destryed and your supplies thin, things go from bad to worse when you run into him.
A cultish, supernatural entity from nightmares and old sea dog tales alike... it seems this "Vessel" is just as stranded as you are. A sailor who can't sail, and siren who can't swim- can two natural enemies ever come together to survive and escape? Or will distrust and personal differences be the death of you both...
