When Vinyl Scratch gets a bit too uppity, her producer, Sound Wave, decides to make it clear that he's in charge of every aspect of her life. Where she goes, what she says, and even who she dates. Octavia just wants to be left out of things, but gets roped in when Wave decides she and Vinyl would make the perfect couple.
Inspired by this story, by which I mean I stole the concept and ran with it. (Technically mature, although the naughty bits are only one paragraph long and clearly labeled as such.)

I have no idea what to think of this. But I'm intrigued.
Kinda intrigued. What did Octavia do to get caught up in this?
Also I think I'd be mildly disappointed if the story didn't end with both being kicked out of the company for getting "too physical" in public.8397029
Hmm, if I do continue this, that would be a major spoiler... Or maybe I'd just write it into the next chapter, who knows.
How glorious that you used my idea. I am really looking forward to more of this story with Vinyl and Octavia being forced to date.

I was going to send you a PM about it, but I sort of forgot.
Woah, you actually found this!
But yeah, when I first read your story, I was so inspired by the concept that I wrote this first chapter in a night. Then it just sort of sat there for a while, and I finally went through and found it again yesterday.
I hope you do continue, you could probably write it better then the original story. *imagines Vinyl and Octy having to kiss and cuddle and pretend to be mares deeply in love*
Do you want me to send you links to other stories of mine for inspiration?
8398569
Maybe. Do you have any others of Octavia or Vinyl that I should check out?
Here are my Octavia/Vinyl stories.

Sorry if you don't think either of them is much good.
8398603
Cool! I'll read them both and see if there's any ideas I can
stealrepurpose into my own stories8398640
If you do, take as long as you like, I'm not a nagger.
8398643
Fair enough, hopefully I'll remember to tell you if I write stuff based on them
I love this new chapter. :) You really do write so well.
What a fronking tyrant.
8398727
Glad you're liking it ^_^
8398893
I know, right? He's a very punchable person.
8399424 More like buckable person. Because you know the guy deserves not a fleshy fist, but two hooves.
Holy shit what in the HELL did Octavia DO?! O.O
Well this is certainly starting to become even more interesting with the mystery, along with BOTH of them being forced into this. I am VERY curious to see where this will go ^_^
I like this so much that I saved it on my computer.
I am really loving this unique twist on Vinyl x Octavia! The fact that you had Vinyl deciding to go through with this, because of a fan letter from some small filly is even BETTER. The whole ScratchTavia has been done a lot, but this is a breath of fresh air into this beloved and popular ship! <3
8407389
Yay, I'm so glad you're liking it!
The twist that the concept put on things was actually what inspired me to write this in the first place, but the characters sort of evolved as I wrote them.
Well worth waiting for and I look forward to the next chapter and those two beautiful and unwilling mares having their first date.
8409685
Hopefully that one will be worth it too!
This is one of the few fic she on this site that I reread occasionally when there is no new chapter. *imagines Octavia and Vinyl having to kiss and be romantic in public*
די געשיכטע איז געווען גרויס! איך ליב געהאט דעם כאַראַקטער אַנטוויקלונג און די וועג איר יבערגאַנג צווישן סינז! דיין באַשרייַבונג געמאכט מיר צופרידן און איך האָפֿן איר טאָן געזונט! מאַכן זיכער איר טאָן ניט שטעלן די סאָוס אין די וועש!
I wonder when the next chapter will show up?
8433563
Still working on it. I'm hoping to get it out sometime in the next few days.
Sorry for being pushy. :( I know how annoying that is.
8434221
Nah, you're not being pushy, I'm just being lazy.
Does this mean that this story has music in it?
8437253
No, just that I'm really, really bad at naming files XD
I'm half expecting the line "No, you found the decoy." to show up next chapter.
How delightful, a new chapter. :) I think of Octavia as a little bit like Enya in personality. That waitress was lucky, and their first date seems to have done well. Thank you for writing this.
Curious. I wouldn't have thought that their first date would have been THAT bad! Nor to see Octavia STILL be such an alcoholic!
Though this DOES add in quite the mystery, because we KNOW this is a shipping story. Though HOW this will come about is something that we are a LONG ways off from seeing
Has this very good story died? lol
8463724
No, I've just been busy with real life lately. I've also gotten a proofreader, so hopefully it should be even better when I do get the next chapter out.
8467409
Real life should always come first. :) All my own stories are jammed partly due to rl. Sorry for being pushy.

I'm pretty sure that bugging is illegal if you are not with the government's intelligence agency . They should have just contacted Equestria's version of the CIA and gotten an investigation started on this Wave guy .
Hmm, a character called Sound Wave who's into blackmail and overhearing things he shouldn't.
Hasbro property crossover? :)
FINALLY!!!! I was waiting months for the next chapter. And after reading this chapter I can't wait to read the rest of the story.
Yay that this story lives once again. :)
I sure hope this fic is still continuing! I'm really enjoying these characters. I actually like this fic more than the original (I even downvoted the original ) but this one gets a thumbs up fave and a tracking!

I am still working on it, just veeeeeery slowly. Unfortunately this story is about fourth on my hobby priority list, and I'm still trying to work on my problem with writing super short chapters.
I think I love the Flabby Gums bits. When did Apple Bloom get a doctorate, though?
Vinyl's really a good person, isn't she? Hope Octy's starting to see that.
The Changelings have a mob now?
Okay so how many laws did sound wave break?
8480920
bingo..hell whatever dirt he has on them was also likely gotten illegally.
Can't wait for Sound Wave to go down.
Vinyl was told in the first chapter that it was going to be a mare. Why would she be expecting a stallion in this chapter?
9055774
Oh shoot, I thought I was careful to leave that ambiguous. Thanks for pointing that out!
8480920
Actually, bugging people without a warrant is illegal even if you are with the government. Not in Equestria though!
9053947
Ah, you're thinking of Gabby Gums. Flabby Gums is the Canterlot version, which is definitely not related in any way, and that's why they had to buy the rights for it.
