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.

Checklist for driving to the Everfree Northwest brony convention:

My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.

You're a random human on Earth trying to get some sleep, but these blasted ponies keep appearing in your room. You don't know where they come from, or how they got here, but they insist on sleeping with you in a non sexual manner.

Have you ever wanted to get cuddled by a pony? How about against your will? No? Yes? Either way you are getting cuddled whether you like it or not.

Warning: Adorable cuddling may or may not be suitable for younger readers.

Warning: I can't select all the ponies, but yes all ponies(and other species) are capable of cuddling you. No you're not safe.

It's quite the regular Friday, until when I walk out the door, I notice that the sky is flashing pink, and I also smell the sweet smell of fudge. I then find a girl, passed out in a forest, and bring her home, where only more questions arise... Who is she, and how did she get here?

This is the story of Applejack in the Ponyfall collab project. Click Here for more information.

Silence. The golden rule is silence. Silence, and obediance.

For years, you have trained as a royal guard. Now, thanks to the fortuitous return of Shining Armour, your old-time friend and Captain, you are promoted to guarding Celestia personally. What follows, though, is the discovery of a personal side to the Sun Princess that you could never have imagined, not even in your most vivid dreams.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors, they keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. They’re lying.

She remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

MyLittlePwny:  The imagery in this is excruciatingly perfect. I actually had to get up and stretch my legs when you were defining the restraints and small room.

The desert brony:  Your story is powerful enough to pull me away from the studying i'm supposed to be doing, I have no regrets.

Graviton:  This.  Is.  Awesome.  Take my favorite and like, and use them as motivation to do MOAR.

Radiant Dawn:  You know, I normally don't read this kind of story...but damn, you caught me with this one.  It's well written, and has caught me hook, line, and sinker.

Irongalley:  How to say this... This story is... Um... Awesome? I don't think it does it justice... Oh well, it is awesome will have to do for now.

TypewriterError:  LOVE LOVE LOVE This concept! Can't wait for the next chapter

Rennoc215:  I don't know what it is you've done to me, Demon, but Something in your writing evoked a strong response. Halfway through, and I was sweating like a horse. I was falling from one word to the next, no hope of ever standing again. My my, my dear author. There really is a time and place for everything.

the parasprite:  fuck i love these kinds of stories

117dragon:  I'm loving this, and I think you've done an excelent job of bluring the lines between whats reality and what's not. The massive amounts of theories in these comments prove this. Well done sir, I'm looking foward to more.

GaruuSpike:  Oh my god, those 7k words just FLEW by. ._. I was so absorbed by the level of detail and excellent showing. I'm on the edge of my seat right now.

OkemosBrony:  As a general rule of thumb, any story that makes you cry at any point, through comedy, sadness, joy, or anger, is definitely outstanding. This story has brought me to tears quite a few times.

Blue Print:  Utterly gripping, and also quite sensitive to the nature of the material. I would be incredibly impressed if you managed to follow this masterwork of a chapter in kind. Please continue.

SonicRainboomGirl:  As a post mental patient, I applaud this story.

Axan Zenith:  Oh my goodness. Simply wonderful. Please keep writing this.

BronyDJ:  Loving this so far. I like this kind of concept, one's life was only in their head. WRITE ON, DEAR AUTHOR, WRITE ON!

Skijarama:  I'm going to be honest, this story... scares me. It's disturbing me on so many levels, yet I just can not stop reading.

TheLocoPony:  ahaha, sneaky and brilliant, I like it, I like it a lot. hehehe

Mania Man:  We've got a mindfucker over here. Someone get me a toilet, I think I'm gonna shit bricks.

Iron Clad:  It's too good not to read, as much as it pains me.

Scootaloser:  I can't say for certain, but I got the nastiest feeling in my gut that this story is going to make me cry.
