GOD OF THE GAPS [MASTERLIST]
↳ [Finished] Sleep Token x Fem!Reader
↳ Book I of Even In Arcadia
You wake in a world of dead gods, with no name and no past, only four masked men. You are pulled into a family not bound by blood, but by devotion. They are vessels of Sleep and they see something in you that keeps you alive. As you are kept within their crumbling world of rituals and whispers, their strange affection begins to warp you. What starts as fear turns into obsession, each of them pulling at something different inside you. The lines between love, worship, and possession blur. Their hands become your home, their violence your doctrine. And as each bond frays the edges of your mind, you start to forget you were ever anything but theirs.
LOOK TO WINDWARD [MASTERLIST]
↳ [Ongoing] Sleep Token x Fem!Reader
↳ Book II of Even In Arcadia
Free at last from Sleep’s curse, V wants only one thing, a long and peaceful life with the vessels she loves. But while she was gone, Arcadia changed. A false god, the Feathered Host, is rising, and the old balance of the realm is beginning to break, threatening to destroy everything left of the Seven Old Gods. Now returned to Arcadia as a goddess herself, V is forced into a new war. To save her lovers once again, she must learn to wield the dangerous magic within her, defy death, and stand against kings, armies, and fate itself. But as her power grows, so does the fear that divinity may consume her before she can save anyone at all.
SKIN OF THUNDER [MASTERLIST]
↳ [Ongoing] Simon 'Ghost' Riley x fem!Reader
Simon Riley lives like a storm on the edge of breaking. But then there is you. You pull at him like the soft drip of rain. And in the stillness between you, Ghost begins to realize that you are the calm he never knew he needed, an unexpected refuge in the tempest that has always defined him.
WHERE WE PART [MASTERLIST]
↳ [Finished] Simon 'Ghost' Riley x fem!Reader
Two souls, bound by a childhood of silent suffering, are pulled back to the city they both fled. After eighteen years apart, Simon Riley and the girl next door find each other again, drawn together by the weight of shared scars. In the quiet spaces between them, they seek the comfort they could never find alone, mending their broken hearts in the echoes of a past they can't forget.
I don't think I've ever shared this before, but my birthday is coming up! I'll be turning 27 next week, and as a little birthday gift to myself, I'm planning a massive writing session. The only problem is I have way too many ideas and nowhere near enough time to write them all. So I'm putting the decision in your hands!
Which one would you like me to update?
Look To Windward [Sleep Token x fem!Reader]
Skin Of Thunder [Simon 'Ghost' Riley x fem!Reader]
Worst In Me [Noah x OC]
Voting ended onJul 15
Look To Windward – Chapter Two
We'll jump back two weeks before the events of the first chapter and see what led our group to kidnap the Crown Princess of Arcadia on her wedding day. There's a lot of things to uncover, and I'm really excited for this chapter.
Skin Of Thunder – Chapter 10/2
I'm finally back in the groove with this story, especially after the new Call of Duty trailer got me hyped all over again. Simon and Dizzy have already had their emotional breakthrough, so now it's finally time for them to get a little closer physically.
Worst In Me - Something New
I've been working on this one for a while now. If you know me, you know I'm a huge Bad Omens fan, so it was only a matter of time before I wrote something for them too. Expect my usual: psychological horror with some thriller and murder mystery elements (so we can all look for clues together like we did during God Of The Gaps), religious trauma, melancholy, lots of emotional suffering… and Noah as the main love interest. Visually, I'm imagining something with a Twilight-esque atmosphere, but with the goal of diving deep into the lore of Bad Omens' new era. I already have a Pinterest moodboard for it if anyone's curious, it might even sway your vote, hehe.
Please help me decide!
My brain has approximately a million story ideas fighting for attention at all times, but unfortunately I also have this very inconvenient thing called a full-time job. All of these are happening eventually, I'm just trying to figure out the order. And I know, it's probably not the wisest idea to have so many projects at once, but I genuinely can't stop!

Hiya! Brand new follower here. The ask about updating your story Skin of Thunder on AO3 came up on my dash and the way they loved it made me want to read it. I just have to say it’s by far the best Simon fic I think I’ve ever read. The slow burn, the way you write him, it is addictive and I binged it all this morning and afternoon. I couldn’t stop! I long for the day you do decide to update that fic. I’m about to go reread it all again, and binge all of your other works, as I am also a HUGE Sleep Token fan. Worship and much love <3
Hiya, darling! Aww, that's so kind of you. I'm really happy you decided to give my story a chance, and I'm even happier that you actually enjoyed it. Thank you so, so much.
And funnily enough, that ask you mentioned kind of reignited my love for Skin Of Thunder, so I've decided it's finally time. I'm planning to update it this weekend! I'm not sure exactly which day I'll have the time, but I promise I'll finally finish editing and get it posted. We'll finally get to see Simon and Dizzy go on a proper date after everything they've been through, hehe. They deserve one.
Ohhh, and I'm so curious to hear what you'll think of my Sleep Token series! Please keep me updated if you end up reading it, because God Of The Gaps so different from my COD fic. It'll be really interesting to hear your thoughts. Worship! :)
hi i just wanted to tell you that I finally caught up on gootg and it was absolutely beautiful. It IS absolutely beautiful. I have not been this transfixed on a read in a hot minute and this was so good I intend to go back and re-read here very soon. So excited for the sequel! You are a wonderful writer! 🧡
This is such a sweet and thoughtful message!
Thank you so, so much, love. It genuinely makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed the story this much. And if you're interested, the sequel is already out! I'd absolutely love to have you join me for the next part of the journey. Thank you again for your kindness and support. It truly means so much to me.
Hi :)
I do apologize if this is intrusive or bothersome. I feel like it's probably so annoying when people do this. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to provide an update on the possibility that you end up returning to SoT?
It's clear that you're really enjoying writing for Sleep Token and it's awesome that you're enjoying GoTG and it's such an accomplishment that you've written so much.
It feels almost rude to inquire about other projects, and I feel like an intruder here because I'm not really interested in Sleep Token at all, despite having what sounds like a wonderful story written by an awesome author available for my exploration.
I promise I don't think you have any sort of obligation to return to writing for Simon or SoT specifically. I just enjoy SoT so much, and it's not left my brain since I first read it over a year ago now and the hope that you might return to it is often on my mind. The way you write Simon feels so real and perfect, and I've loved the story you've created there. And I know a lot of the fandom has been re-energized by the news of MW4 release coming soon and the scraps of new voice lines from the game trailer.
Anyway I just wanted to ask if perhaps you've decided you'll never return to it so I can start adjusting that expectation, or if I should keep waiting patiently.
Regardless, I hope exploring the new volume of GoTG's story is rewarding and enjoyable and I wish you the best! :) <3
Oh, this message broke my heart a little :(
Thank you so much for taking the time to write something so thoughtful. I'm honestly so grateful to have such kind, respectful readers. I feel incredibly lucky that there are people like you who support the things I love creating.
And please, don't ever feel bad about asking me about my other projects, or about anything, really. I'm not the type of person to get upset over questions like that. If anything, it makes me happy to know that someone cares enough about one of my stories to reach out and ask about it. That's not pushy at all, I promise.
So hopefully I can be the bearer of some good news! Yes, I absolutely do plan to continue SOT. The new Call of Duty trailer has honestly reignited my excitement for that fandom, and it's made me really want to get back to writing Simon while continuing my Sleep Token stories as well. I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last updated SOT, though. I really need to lock in and get back to it because I genuinely love that story, and I adore writing Simon. He'll always have a special place in my heart, so hearing that you enjoy my version of him makes me ridiculously happy.
So, here's my promise to you: I'm going to focus on SOT now and finally finish the next chapter, the one that's been sitting in my drafts for... almost a year now, hehe.
If iii is hiding that he killed v, i wonder what ofher secrets he has!! And do they know about any of the times he killed v? Or that vessel did??
Omg, thank you for bringing this up! There was actually a tiny hidden hint back in GOTG that III was keeping something else from V, but nobody picked up on it, hehe. So your question is very valid. But we're definitely going to dig into each of the vessels' secrets in Look To Windward… assuming they still have any left to hide.
Stormy, tell me, why did Sleep Token with V become into musicians of Bremen?
The shriek I let out when I read this was probably loud enough to wake the dead, hehe. Now tell me… who's who, then? I need to know your casting choices :)
I’m not sure if this was already touched on in GOTG or if it’s going to be touched on further in LTW, but what was Vessel’s life like before Sleep? He keeps talking about a life before Sleep but what does that entail exactly?
Vessel’s past and who he was before he became the chosen one of Sleep is gonna be one of the biggest plot points in Look To Windward, so we’re definitely going to learn a lot more about him as the story goes on.
I mean… the man has already kidnapped one of his only two living descendants, so I’d say we’re about to get into the really messy stuff pretty soon, hehe :)
I neeeeeeed to read abt ves killing v now!!!!!!!!!!!
Hehe, should I? Don’t tempt me. Things are finally going well… but do we really want to see Ves kill the woman he’s been hopelessly in love with for centuries?
Omg ii NEVER killed v??? Not even once??? I thought he would be the first after the mental one (iii)
Nope, II is a true yearner. A certified loverboy, honestly. He’d been longing for V for so long that, even when he came across as cold, distant, and probably threatened her more than anyone except III, he never actually killed her.
II deals with his feelings in the complete opposite way to III. Instead of lashing out, he bottles everything up until it turns into bitterness and calculation. III explodes, II implodes. That’s always been one of the biggest differences between the two of them, and I love writing that contrast.
Honestly id read everything iii x v from the past!!! Im SURE it wasnt the first or only time he offed her too
Oh no, that definitely wasn’t the only time III got violent with V, hehe. All of their relationships are chaotic in their own ways, but there’s just something about III and V, they’re an absolute disaster together, and I love them for it.
Now you’ve got me thinking… should I write more bonus chapters like that one? :)
Gosh, this is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for somehow making me even more attracted to III, hehe. I’m such a sucker for creepy stuff like this, it’s honestly becoming a problem at this point.
Seriously, thank you, darling! I think this might actually be my favourite thing you’ve made so far. You completely outdid yourself with this one. You’re insanely talented, and I’m genuinely in awe of your work!
