"All it takes is a bit of hope and grit to make things happen." That's a mantra Jack Apple has lived by for years, and one that's served her well. Ever since what happened in her hometown, hope and grit are about the only thing that have kept her going, spending dollars and making dimes as a boxing trainer in Manhattan.

Twila Shields is a new face in town from the almost mystical city of Camelot. What she lacks in social grace, she makes up for with an almost uncanny intelligence.

Together, they soon find themselves on the cusp of changing history. It all comes down to one fight against the champ, and a bit of hope and grit.

Inspired by the Rocky series (Obviously). Special thanks goes to Bookplayer for the initial set-up of the idea, and for being a swell pal. Go read her stuff, yo.

Addational thanks goes to Jake the Ginger and Peregrine Caged for editing. Couldn't do it without you, bros.

“There is no easy way to say this. One of our scans showed that there was something wrong with the musculature in Scootaloo’s wings. In short, the muscles are underdeveloped. They will likely never support her enough to allow flight.”

Octavia felt silly, but waking Vinyl Scratch from her sleep was really the only option. A nightmare had scared her from her bed, and now she just needed somepony to talk to for reassurance. Her friend figures a little tea and a chat might just do the trick.

This story is a sequel to Regret

From the author of 'I Am Octavia' and 'Regret', I bring you the threequel in the next series, I Fall in Fall. (As usual, you don't have to read the others to read this one, although you may understand more in-depth.)

A change of events, a change in lifestyle. As life progresses for Vinyl and Octavia, one learns the simplicity of life, and one has to treasure what she already has. Among these stepping stones to life, a teal mare pays more than just a visit, and a paparazzi goes all out to wreck their relationship.

The question is, why? And how does one cope when they can't get problems to go away?

The answer is music. Music is the key to everything.

Much thanks to Luminary, Runcible Spoon and Raaron for proofreading / pre-reading / editing it for me, and much thanks to the Singapore Brony Society and SPARKLE for tolerating with so much BS I threw at them, only to scrap them all.
P.S. If I miss you out, I SINCERELY APOLOGISE D: Please PM me if I did forget about you though.

EDIT: Now comes with a sequel!
EDIT2: Now comes with a threequel!
Before any comments about me ripping it off from the song, yes, most of it is his work. I'm just responsible for the parts in bold. Heck I even credited him, but I guess people don't even read the author's note at the start... -.-

Just messing around, doing a little experimentation here and there. Not actually a... story, per se... just playing inside Tavi's head.
Enjoy!

Based on the song 'I am Octavia' by ElieMonty and Nowacking. You can read this without hearing the song, but I strongly suggest listening to it because it's just beautiful and it'll give you a little more background for the story.
I am Octavia <--link for your convenience.
Octavia has had enough. Enough of the selfishness, enough of the hurt, and...maybe enough of Vinyl Scratch. After telling her she was going to miss her concert, again, the earth pony calls their friendship off. Now, it's up to DJ Pon3 to let her best friend go or fight tooth and hoof for their friendship. But with everything getting in her way, will she be able to make it? Or is one of them going to need a new place to call home?

It had been a year since Twilight had heard of anything from Trixie after the Alicorn Amulet incident. Unexpectedly, she receives a letter saying that her so called "rival" has tragically died and is requested to be at her funeral.
