Iggy was a strange and unusual fellow. No bigger than the hands of a pocket watch, he made his home inside a violin, forgotten to time along with the rest of the treasures left behind in the room atop the manor. Though he was content to live out his days in the safety of the attic, the world outside the window called to him, and he found himself longing for something new, something more. However, the journey into the outside world is more dangerous than Iggy ever could have expected, but with the help of a stranger he meets in the woods, the world starts to seem a little less frightening.

Ivy Miller is a simple girl. She's not asking for much. Only for a peaceful, uncomplicated life. She grows bored often during her job at the music store, especially when her best friend isn't around, but she knew it was a mistake to wish for a distraction three times in one day. She definitely didn't know what was in store for her when famous singer, Luke Darrow steps foot into town. After Ivy insults his music right to his face without knowing it, she wishes her fangirl of a best friend had shown her what the singer looked like. She has always been a believer that looks could be deceiving and she shouldn't be quick to trust people yet the annoying singer seems to be an exception. A charming racer, a psychic with odd warnings and an actress who's determined to get Luke back are all thrown into the mix and leaves Ivy's life filled with complicated drama. Just the thing she wanted. ~~~ Credits to @13Walkingdict for the amazingly beautiful cover, thank you so much for it :)

Because not all superheroes are stoic muscle men. Would you like to read a story about superheroes? Would you like to read a story about teen superheroes? Would you like to read a story about teen superheroes, undercover youth centres, hot pink factories, invisible scientists, ABBA played on a flute and sometimes even friendship? Well, even if you didn't tick off everything on that very specific list, tough! Because you've read this far and I do so hope you'll read further. Essentially, this is a story read from six perspectives- Copycat, Decibelle, Lazuli, Newton, Omega and Pixel- in an episode-style format. If you don't know what that is, that's fair, as I made it up. It just means that each part is a separate story, with an overlapping half arc. A/N: If I actually manage to commit to this, expect a little entry for each of the main characters every week or so. If not? then this'll be a monument to my sins. But if I manage to stick for this for over two months, and you decide to continue reading past this point, then really: Hope you enjoy, darling weirdo.
