Probably my favorite ssbb story. It follows the life and rise to fame of a talented ex-Mormon boy who starts a rock band with his friends, and falls in love with his guitarist. Also, there may or may not be Greek Gods involved >__>. It's light and fluffy but also feels incredibly realistic, and the prose is just wonderful.

Caution!

Events do not occur in the order that they appear; I remember being a bit confused by the chronology the first time I read this, but it gives the backstory that much more power when you come to it. It also makes for good re-reading when you finally get the whole picture ;D.
