Four years ago Vinyl and Octavia broke up. It was messy, painful and left scars on both of them. Four years on, now one of the most successful DJs in Equestria’s history, Vinyl receives news that Octavia has been in a terrible accident. The doctors say she may never recover from her coma, but Vinyl refuses to believe them. There are all sorts of stories about coma patients who are brought back by the voice of someone they care about, right? No matter what anypony else says, offers or threatens, and no matter what it costs her personally or professionally, she is determined to stay by Octavia’s side and do all she can to wake her.

But four years is a long time, and no matter how many fairytales end with the princess waking up, real life owes no-one a happy ending.

Everyone in Ponyville is well aware of a certain purple earth pony's "interest" in drinking the night, day, or really any time away that she can. Thinking her antics have gone on for too long, her friend decides to give her a push into sobriety.

Can the town drunk sober up? ...Maybe?

Editing done by Rhino and Bronystories.

Scootaloo still doesn't have her cutie mark. She still hasn't found what makes her special. And she's slowly getting left behind. What will happen when her friends move on? When her idol can't help her? When her parents give up? What happens when life becomes too much for one filly to handle?

Forever. A word that holds meaning. A word that holds promise. Forever. That was the word Vinyl whispered to Octavia as she went on tour. Octavia knew Vinyl would return. After all, Vinyl was her forever. But the months go on and Vinyl's calls become fewer. Her texts start everyday and become once or twice on the weekends. Octavia's forever is fading. But Vinyl will come back. She has to come back. Why wouldn't she come back? She had promised a forever. Forever was forever, but promises can always be broken

How does Vinyl cope with the loss of the most important mare in the world to her?

[Being Revised] [Hiatus]

My name is Rainbow Dash, and all I have left are memories. Memories of my life, my amazing life. After everything I’ve done, I suddenly find myself stuck inside a white room surrounded by endless darkness with no recollection of how I ended up here. There didn’t seem to be any way out, but one day, somepony came with an escape. Of course, there was a catch: I must decide the fate of somepony’s entire life, which undoubtedly may change the course of history.

Vinyl Scratch. Octavia. Two great and famous musicians, what do they have in common?
Is that their love for music? Is that the love of fans they have? Or is that their memories?
This short story tells you the answer.
And at the same time it tells you about the most powerful feeling in the world.
The feeling powerful enough to eclipse the love itself.
And the feeling you shouldn't lose no matter what happens.

(This iteration of the story has been cancelled. Detailed explanation + silver lining/glimmer of hope here)

Rainbow Dash always had a thing for First Officer Soarin of the Wonderbolts, even without realizing he could be such a sweet pony once she got to know him a little better. However, her affections are already tied up with the newly adopted Scootaloo, who needs guidance and care when a new disorder rears its ugly head. There's not much room in her heart for a stallion, is there?

Unfortunately, her life will get even more complicated as the Mane Six join the Wonderbolts to face a mysterious darkness in the distant land of Saddle Arabia. She must remain strong, because her entire world is about to come crashing around her ears. Is there a light at the end of this tunnel, or will everything she endured simply bring more pain down the road?

(Rated teen for the occasional instances of strong language, suggestive scenes, and scattered ponies drinkin' themselves stupid!

Dear Reader,
Do you believe in love? I do. I didn't used to though, not until I heard of this story. Let me tell it to you; it will teach you a great lesson of passion, kindness, and forgiveness.

Do you need love? All you need to do is try.

Based on the song 'I am Octavia' by ElieMonty and Nowacking. You can read this without hearing the song, but I strongly suggest listening to it because it's just beautiful and it'll give you a little more background for the story.
I am Octavia <--link for your convenience.
Octavia has had enough. Enough of the selfishness, enough of the hurt, and...maybe enough of Vinyl Scratch. After telling her she was going to miss her concert, again, the earth pony calls their friendship off. Now, it's up to DJ Pon3 to let her best friend go or fight tooth and hoof for their friendship. But with everything getting in her way, will she be able to make it? Or is one of them going to need a new place to call home?
