Fiona Buckner-Smith (human Fiddlesticks) wishes to expand her musical horizons, and enters Celestia's Royal Academy with this goal in mind. But she finds that her country background and scholarship marks her as vastly different from the other freshmen in the music section.

Viola Krauss (human Symphony) is a rising star in the violin section, expecting her way paved with her family heritage and skills, only to find some backwater amateur upsets her plans. Finding herself suddenly challenged for first chair, she tries to answer with one of her own.

Two girls, both violinists and wanting to reach the top, find the other in their path. Can they work together to reach there or will jealousy and envy for one another drive a wedge between them?

EDIT: Yes, I changed the names. I used their pony names to get it to pass submission. I feel guilty and yet not. GTVS: The Great Teacher Vinyl Scratch is the sequel to this story (though this story was made AFTER GTVS started and got really far). I got the author's permission to write this and everything in here is correct and aligned with the cannon of his story.

Apple Bloom, Applejack and Vinyl discovered an ancient chest that was filled with old photos and books. Until they discovered something that made their minds flip, they found an old photograph of two women that looked strikingly similar to Applejack and Vinyl. What could this mean? The sisters opened an old dairy to find out.

Join the Wild West adventures of two young women, Annabelle “Annie” Apple and Melody Liker as they journey to the hard wild frontier town of Frontier City to stake a claim of gold and become legends.

But of course fate has different plans for these two women.

Can they achieve their dreams? Can they find love in this new place? Will Melody’s past come back to bite them both in the tail? What will Vinyl and Applejack learn after reading the story of these two women? Jump in and find out.

Apple Scratch Verse (c) Mariacheat-Brony.
Now this story is considered canon to the Apple Scratch Verse Series.

This side-story takes place in-between "Apple Scratch: Onward to the Equestria Games", which is from the series, "Apple Scratch", created by Mariacheat-Brony.

At the start of the Equestria Games in Ponyville, Roseluck, one of the hometown's athletes, suffered a humilating defeat during her very first race at the 100-Meter Hurdle Qualification Rounds. Not only did she literally slipped up out there, but because of her fall, it cost the race to Fleetfoot as well. Despite their initial defeats, the two competitors became fast friends over the course of the Games. However, as they spent more time together, their growing bond brought forth new feelings for each other. Will Roseluck manage to make their relationship blossom into full bloom, or will Fleetfoot's chilling secret catch up to her and wither it away?

In Equestria, the Horse Gods and their fellow deities gave many gifts to the people. Super strength, flight, magic, and more, each person has a story along with their power.
But, what if the story was about a lost little filly, and her journey to a new home?

The story of Alizee, horse and friend in a world of humans.

Part of the Apple Scratch Verse by Mariacheat-Brony

(Humans in Humanized Equestria)
A fan-made side-story to the Apple Scratch series made by Mariacheat-Brony, set between Apple Scratch: A Summer At the Farm and Apple Scratch: Onward to the Equestia Games. Will stay true to Apple Scratch's canon, but will be considered non-canon by the original author unless told otherwise.

Synopsis: Brandon and Brianna Sky don't know how they landed themselves in Equestria, nor how they managed to find a humanized Equestria at that. They might already be bronies, but they have to get used to the story of most ponies...er, people they know getting switched around in one way or another. Fortunately, the Apple sisters Vinyl Scratch and Applejack will give them the basic background they need to get used to this new Equestria for however long their stay will be. What happens after that...well, that's anyone's guess.

Criticism welcomed, as I'm working on a completely different story at the time and would like to know how I can improve. ^_^

The home town of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is under siege. The royal family has been slaughtered, leaving only Cadence alive thanks to her being in Canterlot. The streets are swarming with soldiers, rounding up any survivors, and striking down any left-over soldiers or rebellious people.

Five rookies, almost fresh out of military school, are tasked with keeping an eye on the city until Princess Luna and her night guard arrive to take care of the siege.

But a lust for vengeance, and youthful impatience causes those plans to get washed down the drain. Shining Armor charges towards the gates, intent on avenging his love's family. The others follow, and are met with five of the officers of the enemy.

This is the story of Crystal's fight against one of them, and how she came to be known as "The Wendigo."

[humanized] The greatest cultural authority in the land of Equestria, a group of young minds chosen directly by the two High-Princesses: Celestia and Luna; to be represent them. Six young women who holds a great influence on their land's future.

How were they chosen? This fanfiction holds the tales to answer that question.

A side fic/prequel to my Apple Scratch series written by the common effort of six enthusiastic writers following that thread from the Apple-Scratch Verse group.
