It was another day for the students at Canterlot High, but to one D.J., things were going a good direction. Vinyl Scratch received an amazing pair of headphones from Octavia, and she swore the cans were god sent. Unfortunately, Principal Celestia had confiscated her new eargasm inducers, and she won't be getting them soon.

Vinyl decided to take them back.

Vinyl Scratch is alone. Her parents are gone and she's estranged herself from the rest of her family years ago. Now she's fallen on hard times; she spends her days drinking, her nights partying and the intervening time in trouble with the guards.

After one too many run-ins with the authorities she is assigned a personal guard to help her get her life back on track. The only question is: can she truly be helped, or is she far too gone at this point?

This story is a sequel to Shadowbolts Adventures: Desperate Hearts

Lemon Zest and Vinyl Scratch have been happily dating ever since their dance-off through the streets of Canterlot, but when Octavia Melody spots them in a record store together, she passes a disturbing warning on to Lemon. A warning she simply can't ignore. When she confronts Vinyl Scratch about it, she hears the entire chilling tale of their ill-fated relationship.

Rated T for mild violence and mild language

Vinyl Scratch, also known as DJ-P0n3, is one of the most famous DJs in Canterlot. But lately, she's been feeling like something's missing in her life. And then a gray Earth pony mare shows up at her club one night...

Author's Note: I wanted to do something different with the Octavia/Vinyl Scratch pairing. In all the stories I've read, Tavi was the reserved, more quiet one while Vinyl was the party girl. But what if it were the other way around? What if Vinyl was the more reserved one and Tavi the wild girl? This is my attempt to expand on that idea.

Vinyl Scratch, having overdone it at her latest gig and lost her voice, is trying to sleep it off when, first thing in the afternoon, there's a knock at her door. Greeting her is a friendly, earnest filly wanting money for… something. Filly Scouts, apparently. Seems they help those in need, whether those in need want it or not. Can Vinyl keep her sanity and her home intact over several days of kids visiting her? Considering these kids, probably not. A series of short vignettes.

This story takes place (and was almost entirely written) prior to "Crusaders Of The Lost Mark".

This weekend is Vinyl and Octavia's one year anniversary. They both want to make this the most memorable weekend together, so they spend the weekend just to themselves and they have no worries. All they know is that they have to just be there for each other. Come and read the romantic story of OctaScratch on the beach and the rest of their weekend.

All it took was a phone call and a drinking game to change everything.

Vinyl, after being forced to attend a concerto, has fallen in love with the cellist, while Lyra sits on, contemplating where she went wrong in her efforts to court the DJ.

This story is a sequel to Fashion Crush

(Humanized) Vincenza Scratch, AkA Vinyl for her friends, AKA DJ-PON3 on stage, 22 years old. The DJ found herself in one of the low periods of her young career, probably the lowest and longest she ever experienced so far; writer's block, out of ideas for a new genre of music as her 'classic' electronica seems to go out of the crowd fashion, less and less attendance to her gigs, etc.

Starting to run low on money, She gets in touch with one of her mother's friend in the capital, Vito Philharmonica; Member of the board of one of the most prestigious private high school. Vito offers her a place to stay and a job to help her to get back on track : A music teacher job for a Highschool senior class, which includes Vito's own daughter, Octavia.

How's Vinyl going to teach to a bunch of teenagers when she's barely older than them? ( and probably not much more mature as well). And when other teachers and some of her students look down at her for being a 'simple' DJ? One answer, Becoming the GTVS: THE GREAT TEACHER VINYL SCRATCH! (Yes inspired by GTO, one of the coolest manga ever)

Fan Stuff!

The first time I saw her eyes, they struck a chord within my soul. One that I have never experienced before. It was like I was coming alive for the first time.

But it was only a glimpse, and then she was gone. I am not going to let this go, though. I will discover who she is, why she is here... and why fate almost brought us together.

My name is Octavia, and I will stop at nothing to find her.
