Summary
This is just a little something I came up with after watching vids of the Sleep Token ritual in Germany. It's super short and my first fic I've ever written, so please be kind! Of course this is based on stage personas, not the men behind the masks.

Summary
When you take a last minute, temporary job as wardrobe assistant for an anonymous band, you immediately clash with their stoic frontman. Not to be put off, you are determined to make the most of this new experience, befriending the other chaotic members of the band whilst trying to navigate your way through tour life. Vessel seems determined to break you, but could there be more to his taunts? Who is he really behind the mask? And, why should it matter what he thinks of you when you are only the temp girl?
First story in a series of four, all linked in one AU. An enemies to lovers story told through multiple points of view. No real life identities revealed. Vessels as characters. Any circumstances similar to actual persons is coincidental, and not intended.

Summary
The water is filling his lungs.
He scrunches his eyes to fight off the salt already burning deep up his nose, threatening to flood his whole body as he sinks, sinks…
He could swim up, but he doesn’t. He could be scared, but he isn’t. He’s resigned to die. To be buried in the cold, dark ocean, and become one of the many forgotten things that call it their tomb.
He’s sinking, deeper and deeper, feeling his body go stiff as the icy darkness wraps around his limbs.
The last blue light of the surface has abandoned him.
And he can’t be sad, can he? He knows that he chose this, after all. Even if he can’t remember it. Even if the tiniest inkling of regret is creeping up on him with each bit of light lost.
He goes limp, parting his lips to let the water in.- Language:
