Vinyl Scratch has worked her way to a pretty sweet life. She’s married to the mare of her dreams, Octavia Philharmonica, has two wonderful fillies, Spark and Ballad, and the coolest job in the world: being a DJ. One day, Spark asked her how everything came to be from the very beginning, and both Octavia and Ballad seemed interested in learning the truth behind Vinyl’s origins. And so that afternoon, Vinyl spun the tale of how she went from a humble beginning as music shop owner’s daughter to her eventual status as the famous (and infamous) DJ PON3.

EDIT: Added the 'Alternate Universe' tag because some of the Mane 6 are out of the semi-set timeline. I'm gonna go ahead and call this my OctaVinyl Timeline.

After the idiot ice fairy Cirno was defeated by the unlikely heroine Derpy Hooves, an investigation went forth to discover the world of Gensokyo she had mentioned, or at least find where she popped out of.

However, when an attempt to close a breach goes horribly wrong, Twilight Sparkle lets loose a foe infinitely more dangerous than Cirno...one who could bring the whole of Equestria to its knees.

With Gensokyians and Equestrians becoming fast friends and foes, can the Elements of Harmony hope to band together and defeat Gensokyo's truest evils?

This is indeed a crossover and a full-story sequel to my one-shot, Cirno Invades Equestria. I've also come to the grand conclusion that I don't need EQD's front-page popularity scheme. All I need to do is write for myself and enjoy what I write.

Twilight Sparkle, Element of Harmony, usually sits in her library reading. But not even books can distract her from the countless nostalgic memories of the past. After staring down her coffee and talking to Spike, she decides to take down her thoughts in a journal.

Just a simple little one shot. Hope you enjoy.

Twilight discovers a book on her doorstep titled 'The Legacy of Grimoire Fantasia'. All her friends fear the name, but she doesn't know why. A reluctant ally in the form of a familiar showoff illusionist unicorn presents itself and the two set off on an adventure to seek out the truth of Grimoire Fantasia's legend.

However, with the story itself being as dangerous as it is, the two mares may be in for more trouble than the trip is worth. With three entirely different groups on their tails for the powers hidden within Grimoire's tome, will they be able to learn his secrets before the very secrets become their downfall?

Berry Punch and her uncle Fresh Tap own the Royal Merlot in Canterlot. Originally established by Berry's late father Red Merlot in his early life, the two work together to not only serve ponies the drinks they crave, but also keep those who come in with problems from washing their sorrows away in alcohol.

However, with the two of them hanging on the edge between keeping the bar and losing it to Prince Blueblood, will the bartender ponies be able to scrounge up enough money to hold onto Red Merlot's legacy?

Rated Teen for alcohol references and intention to write drunk ponies.

Red Merlot and Fresh Tap are, obviously, OC Ponies.
