    Every party must come to an end. After the party's over, some things always get left behind.

    Vinyl Scratch, better known to Equestria as DJ Pon-3, is dead.

    Will Octavia learn to cope with her loss, or will she give in to despair?

    >>1122671>>1122696, They only seem like that because they are the only ones people tend to pay attention to.

    I was hesitant about the OctaScratch ship before, but I love it now. This was beautiful. I cried just a bit. :fluttercry:

    The ending! "Even in death Vinyl Scratch will always spin that record. From the venues of Canterlot to the stages of the heavenly choirs that make the stars themselves sing. Play on Vinyl Scratch, we will always be listening."

    “Are you... Octavia?” He panted.

    “Um.. Yes?”

    “DUMP EM!” The stallion shouted at his companions.

    The best happy part of the story. :rainbowkiss:

    Loved the backstory on this one.  (And I managed to restrain myself from yelling "Are you ready to Rock Farm?!")

    Ow, my feels hurt... Very moving piece of literature that you have written here. I couldn't help but to shed a manly tear (yes a manly tear, and not a slew of crybaby tears) :raritycry: anyway, I loved the story.

    Well.... that was glorious. You captured emotion, made me smile (and even laugh a couple times) and feel; you captured their responses so naturally, gave such a good backstory (I thought the Sue/Suzanne bit was particularly clever), and had an awesome ending for Octavia.

    Beautiful. It takes a lot for a fic to really make me emotional, but this one did. The bits with Vinyl and Octavia together and the part with the will were especially heartbreaking. :fluttercry:

    Take my like, my fave and my watch. You've earned them.

    Something about this story made it really emotional for me, it probably was that it happened to my favorite couple and they way it was written.

    It was so emotional that I was almost crying when Celestia came to Vinyls grave to talk to Octavia, and that is in the very beginning. I would probably have cried the entire story if my playlist didn't decide to play "Smile, Smile, Smile". It gave me a weird feeling, I wanted to cry but I couldn't and a smile sneaked to my lips, It's very difficult to explain.

    Anyway, this story deserves a like, a favorite and to become one of my favorite favorites (stories so good I don't want to loose them among my other favorites).

    Thank you strangephantasm for writing such a good and sad story, I need to cry from time to time.
