This is not the first time Trixie has had a drunken one night fling with a random pony.

It is the first time Octavia has.

A May Pairings jam.

Featured 5/30/2024 - 6/1/2024!

Big Macintosh went through a lot when he was young. Losing both parents and becoming the man of the house can put a lot a pressure on a young man.

Seeking relief, he turned to a style of music he'd never heard before. This new interest led him to a girl. This particular girl was a fledgling DJ who also went to the same school as him.

Unexpectedly, he is given the opportunity to finally speak with the DJ at a friend's party.

Octavia misses the train for a concert in Canterlot.

Figures.

Well, now she and Vinyl Scratch have to figure out how to deal with this little issue as fast as they can. The day can only be so bizarre!

Octavia's had a fine career. But all good things just come to an end. She performs her final performance, and takes her final curtain.

A young Vinyl meets a young Octavia at her house. Antics ensue.

Vinyl bought a pair of costumes for her and Octavia, well in advance of Nightmare Night. Because they were on sale, and for no other reason.

A gift for one of my friends in the ponysuits discord server, based (loosely) on the cover art by SDB, I finished this close enough to April Foals that it seemed appropriate to post today.
Contains hypnosis and shiny squeaky ponysuits.

Two thousand years after Nightmare Moon's banishment, Equestria thrives. Celestia rules with her six princesses, six powerful Alicorns, given charge over different parts of rulership, using their powers and wisdom to make sure Equestria prospers.

Or, that is the official story, anyway.

In truth, after installing countless unstable cybernetics, Celestia has gone mad, and the Alicorns aren't much better. Ponies regularly disappear when they start to question things publicly. Wars are waged, species are slaughtered, and androids are kept as slaves, bought and sold as property.

Vinyl Scratch was a musician, owned by Fancy Pants. Her life had been well, really, but before she knows it, she finds herself thrust into the midst of conspiracies and rebels. Discord, an organization bent on overthrowing Celestia and bringing equality to androids, takes her in and keeps her safe. Vinyl wants to fight for what's right, but deep down, she wonders what is truly the right thing to do.

A bit of a twist on a stereotypical cyberpunk setting. While we have the evil government and the rebels, it does focus on more messages of harmony and friendship than you'd normally see. While 'the tree of liberty must be watered with blood of tyrants', it is necessary to 'love your neighbor as yourself', too.

Updates will be rare, but as I am working on this whenever I have time, it will not be set to 'hiatus'.

Okay, now for content warning:

--Foul language: As it should, it depends on the character speaking. Curses are usually going to be few and far between, but a few characters swear like sailors (or cyberpunk gangsters, as it were.)

--Violence and death: People have guns, and people get shot. I will not write graphic descriptions of violence, but it will be on screen.

--References to rape and brothels: Androids, as slaves, are used as prostitutes against their will in some places. I will not go deep into that, but it does happen in this setting.

--References and use of drugs: Without knowing too much about different kinds of real world drugs, I simply made up one I called 'Salt licks'. It is highly addictive and physically damaging.

The arrival of Wild Card, a boastful pony with magical skills and gambling problems from Trixie's past, arrives in Ponyville during Trixie's magic to make Trixie's life miserable after blaming her for his misfortune, angering Trixie's friends. Trixie's friends try to get her to stand up for herself while Trixie resists her friends' requests to challenge Wild Card.

Vinyl and Octavia's friends either have plans, or are off with their loved ones on this day dedicated to love. But that doesn't mean it has to be lonely; they can have fun in their own right?

Another chapter in the Shattered universe. Reading is NOT REQUIRED. Only knowledge needed is story consists of a Rocktavia and Vinyl Class.

A long time ago when the ponies were still separated in their tribes, unicorns probably thought of themselves as so highly. For they are the ones gifted with casting magic. Being able to control things at their whim made them feel so superior...

Though now, even though unicorns live amongst their non-magic casting peers there is a sudden illness befalling the magic casters in Equestria...

First it was just a few sparks of magic that come out. Then one day, it seemed like a freak accident. A random stallion, his magic causing an explosion of great force causing a collapse in a building. Multiple casualties and some survivors shaken. Now some other unicorns are showing symptoms, but not as note-worthy. These ponies want answers.
