Octavia has a musical history and a side to herself she'd rather not have to explain outside of Ponyville. Inside Ponyville... well, everything was fine until she spotted Vinyl Scratch. What was she doing here?

Don't panic, Octavia! Don't freak out, don't lose your mind, don't....
Oh well.
(And check out Goombasa's excellent dramatic reading!)
Cover by Page Turner.

Physically and emotionally tired from her latest tour, Vinyl decides that a pet would help to calm her nerves. Of course not just any pet will do, and Vinyl picks the most exotic pet in the store, an Octaviapus. But when “Octy” begins to grow at an alarming rate and ponies begin to disappear, Lyra begins to wonder if “Octy” is really as innocent as Vinyl claims. Could it all be a misunderstanding or does “Octy” have an insatiable thirst for pony flesh?

Two passengers on a train ride toward an uncertain future. One is a pony. The other only pretends to be.

Sex is tame and non-explicit. Don't be afraid to read.

We all have read at least one OctaScratch fic and we think that there can't possibly be any more original ideas. You're right. But what if we combine them with a tonne of clichés and somehow make a fic out of them? That's exactly what is about to happen.

Sequel Great, another OctaScratch fic
