The heart works in mysterious ways. Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps may seem like opposites in temperament, physique, ...everything.

But a single chance encounter can cause a pony's feelings to change and grow, and that may mark the start of something beautiful.

(Because sometimes you just have to sit down and bang out a Shyceps fic. And because Bulk Biceps got a character tag!)

Noteworthy never planned on becoming a traveling musician. A gifted saxophonist accepted into one of the most prostegious musical academies, Noteworthy never would've dreamed of such foalishness.

Time, of course, challenges all our expectations. Sometimes, dreams change, hearts break, and ties sever.

And, in the end of it all, Noteworthy discovers what freedom truly means.

One night aboard a cruise ship, the stallion with a saxophone recounts his journey to an unexpected fan.

Inspired by the Bob Seger song, "Turn The Page."

Maintaining a professional stance while adhering to the law of the land proves an even more difficult task, especially when his one act of defiance only seems to awaken the seething rebellion within him.
