Octavia Melody is the most difficult part of Symphony's day. Everypony hangs on her every word, worships the ground she walks on, and generally makes a big fuss over little things even when, in Symphony's expert opinion, she got that 3rd G flat wrong in the second movement.
Thankfully, Symphony has a sister; a very observant sister who's intent on coaxing Symphony's woes from her in the least embarrassing way possible.
No matter how embarrassing the least embarrassing way is.
A story designed, or at least intended, to cause warm feelings without the requirement to set fire to your house. You're welcome.
Many thanks to CyanAeolin for the cover art for the piece, have a gander at his deviantart page for both similar, and different, images.
Chapters (4)
I read the fic's description and was considering reading the fic.
Then I saw the author and stopped considering.
Now then!
... I have no clue/don't remember who Symphony actually is.

She appeared in "Sweet and Elite" in the quartet.
Ironically, in Octavia's three canon appearances, her only constant in the quartet has been Parish, the harpist.
4498100 Ha! I had a similar experience when picking the cover art for the story. It feels good to know that someone has the same tastes as you...
I took the liberty to add that story to my group about Fiddlesticks and Symphony
Good little story
4498313 At first I was surprised that such a group existed, but... Drake's equation I guess. Thanks for the read.

^^ That group is like five days old, it's normal you haven't really heard about it
Stetsons are cool
This is nice. I have nothing to add to that.
4500315 Nice is good. Thanks for the read.
My first thought of a b'stenstoned pony from Ponyville with an accent like that was Applejack having a secret life as Fiddlesticks and playing music with her long-lost violinist sister. Nice read ^-^
4500895 Applejack certainly makes good use of her Stetson, but they show up on some other heads too. Thanks for the read!
Ooooo, spinoff thought. Have them switch places. During one of the concerts, Symph shows up and mingles, but it is Fiddle who sits down. The during a part in the music, Fiddle gets up and plays the fiddle (as opposed to playing the violin as before)
Then you can take it from there
4503605 Interesting idea... I wonder how the Canterlot nobles would react to that...

Heh, what a nice little scene.
It's like that one reader to your fics!
Just keep on moving~
A three outta five.
Your descriptions of the scenery and situations the characters find themselves in provide the story with a fanciful, but substantive tone that I enjoyed reading. It made me feel satisfied inside, since there is nothing purer than contentment.
This was a truly perfect story, nothing short of masterfull
