Vinyl Scratch has finally come to a decision. Not about her career, her music, or the mare she loves, but about her turbulent past. Alongside Octavia Piano, Vinyl has chosen to face the only ponies she never wanted to see again. Their parents.
Well, I have a feeling dear old Mum is not going to make things easy for Vinyl and Ocatavia, but I will not be surprised if she gets smacked by at least one of her daughters. Oh, and if she even suggest one of them getting together with "A nice stallion like that Prince Blue Blood" I hope Octavia reads her the riot act about Blue Blood's actions at the Gala towards Rarity.
4945574 Aaaah, but then you write the story the way you want it, cause if you let others influence it then its not really a story is it? More a narration from the observer, i've seen a few of those on here and they just make me sad, shit.... where did all that come from? Must be because its 4am xD
Well, what happened is I'd ended up writing the original scene in such a way that the interpretations of Red and Red's actions went completely against the tone I was looking to evoke. Then, in a hurry, I'd published the story without thinking about the consequences of how I'd written it.
The song is "Here's that Rainy Day." - Though my preferred version is still Sinatra, there's lots of good ones out there. It's an old, old, old Torch song.
Also, yes, I intend to finish this thing before I start anything else
I know that some people will be bummed that there was no Vinyl-Tavi-Red threesome action, but I think for the tone you've set and the kind of bond you've developed with the two, that this was the right choice. This was a great chapter and a solid conclusion to closing out this chapter of Vinyl's past.
On the last chapter, my long time, unmutual friend, I gave you a comment of literary criticism.
This time is personal. I cried, again. And it brought back memories for me.
The times that I read the last parts of this story, I was severely depressed. I got over it, but this story brings back the pain. The suffering feeling. The sweet, beautiful sadness, with which I originally read this. And I have to say... I missed it so much more than I knew. That heavy weight on my shoulder and stomach, the horribly bad view on life. You have that back to me for a bit.
And I'll never forgive you, nor will I ever thank you enough.
With their mother 'still on the run', there's obviously a sequel in order. Oh and that wedding and document-forging, make that two or three. At least, I hope it is. If said sequels existence depends on public demand, by chance, I'll totally throw my hat in, too!
So... thank you. For this wonderful experience, this beautiful tale and those incredibly well-portrayed characters.
Good to see this back.
Bravo~
Tears were shed, which doesn't happen often.
Definitely want more, though. Can't wait to read the next chapter!

I'm not actually sure what you've changed here... but I still love it all the same :)
Lapis and Inky This series in my opinion is your best one

Mostly, I changed how Tavi reacted to Red, and some other minor points of dialogue which probably matter to no one but me.

If you don't find a way to give Red a happy ending I will hate you forever. Yes I know that's an empty threat, shut up.
Great to see this continuing, dude.

I look forward to where we go next ^_^
It's good to see this move forward. It was worth the wait. Looking forward to more.

For what it's all worth, thank you.
Well, there go's my interest in the story, waited all this time to see Tavi and Vinyl with Red and now so much for that.
Very pleasant, quite glad to see that you've not left off on the series.
Commence read.
Interesting interactions.
Glad that Red wasn't outright hated and rejected, but she still had to consoled or have her issues resolved.
Well. That... hm.
I've read all three parts of this series yesterday and today. It's an incredible work, once more. Your writing is... almost flawless, it's really a sight to behold. A treasure, created by your beautiful mind for your readers. Just... wow. I've grown very, very fond of this storyline and your portrayal of, well, each and every character involved.
Due to personal, let's call it 'issues', I have a rather large problem with prostitution/prostitutes. So when that came up, I grew worried and considered how that might influence my opinion in the end. When Red showed up, I immediately thought about that cliché - 'solve every problem with a bit of sex and maybe even a poly-amorous relationship'. I can't tell you how glad I am you didn't went down that path. This way, Vinyls decision felt like it had an impact. (Sounds strange, but I can't find better words for it.)
I was even honestly surprised - throughout the whole series - how little the incest-relationship bothered me. Due to your talented writing, I might add.
With their mother 'still on the run', there's obviously a sequel in order. Oh and that wedding and document-forging, make that two or three. At least, I hope it is. If said sequels existence depends on public demand, by chance, I'll totally throw my hat in, too!

Thank you.
