Octavia Melody is a dreamer. Her mind takes her places, places that she's always wanted to be. Unfortunately, her body doesn't follow. She lives a normal life, seeing new sights through the postcards and letters that Harpo Parish Nadermane sends as he travels the world, picking new sounds for his compositions. In fact, Harpo just finished a piece! Of course, he's currently on the other side of the world, but that's not a problem. He'll just send the music to Octavia.
She'll take care of it.

Vinyl Scratch and Lyra Heartstrings are vampires, creatures of the night whose civilization has lived in humanity's shadow for thousands of years. They are self-sufficient and prideful, only venturing out of their hidden cities to replenish their stock of blood. But ties to past lives are not so easily severed.

When Lyra catches wind of supernatural happenings in her hometown of Canterlot, she and Vinyl take it upon themselves to investigate the cause.

A charity concert played by the violinist star Melodia Allgrezza, and the chance meeting with the matron of the Heartstrings family leads Octavia to reunite with an old university acquaintance, Lyra Heartstrings. The two of them chat it up and it is revealed that Lyra has a friendly date with Vinyl Scratch, her friend for many years. Octavia is invited along and accepts, joining the two for a night of fun. It quickly develops, however, to something much more than that. For of all the things that Octavia had expected to see when she met up with this Vinyl, it was definitely not a near copy of Melodia Allegrezza.
Curiosity is a virtue, they say, and Octavia's drives her to one question that she will see answered no matter what: What is the relationship between Melodia and Vinyl Scratch? Who are they?

And here we go! My first (chaptered) TaviScratch story! I hope you guys like what you see so far.
I have been sitting with this idea since later summer 2013, and I finally got the chance to write it! This story isn't going to be your usual TaviScratch, I hope, and I will do what I can to mercilessly slaughter and then crush and then burn every trope I come across. I want to bring you guys something unique, and this will be it.

Hop along for a story of love, mistrust, friends and, most importantly, secrets!

Rated Teen for future sexual references, and the likes.

Vinyl travels the world to spin the wheels of steel. Octavia takes her skills as a cellist to wherever her orchestra needs to. They've been rooting for each other's success for near a decade, finding that the more they achieve, the more packed their schedules become, leaving little time for them to hang as they did when they first met. To remedy this, they decided to start a blog just for the two of them to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences as they work to achieve bigger and better things in their industry. What will they learn learn about each other when it comes time to put digital pen to paper? What they learn from each other about what it means to live? How will this shape the course of their relationship?(from the Rainbow 8 universe iteration of their characters)

Vinyl Scratch and Octavia are preparing for their first child. However, Vinyl has some worries about maturity and responsibility.

Just some stupid OctaScratch. There are better ones out there.
They key words here are 'Slice of Life'. I never intended this to have a big complicated plot, or a strong moral or whatever. It's just a simple snippet of their life. Don't take it too seriously.

My name is Octavia Harmonious Melody, and I am mentally deranged… No no, I assure you, I'm quite serious. For the past three years I have lived with a voice inside my head, a crazed, lunatic of a voice, who I, through the displeasure of living with for the past three years, have come to almost befriend...

Almost.

Now my childhood friend-turned-enemy, Vinyl Scratch, is inviting me to further my musical prowess by living under the same roof as her, and as much as I can barely stand the sight of her, she represents what may be my last chance at closure and sanity. The irony of which being that I'm sure she's already insane, if not pushing me towards it.
Although, to her credit, she's a nice enough mare, maybe if I could stop the voice in my head for a minute we could grow to become friends again…
...it isn't a sin to dream, is it?

Octavia comes home frustrated one evening. Vinyl cuddles with her to make it better. Short, sweet, silly.

Vinyl Scratch and Octavia moved in together a few months ago, and have been together even longer. Be that as it may, Octavia has never seen her lover without her trademark glasses, and she can't help but wonder why.

A/N: I'm hella stressed this week and just needed to write something cute to make me smile. Bestship, ho!

Octavia has always been obsessed with the occult, specifically vampires. She dreams of being a creature of the night, soaring through the air, sucking the blood from her victims.That's all it ever was though, a dream.
Or at least it was until she met Vinyl Scratch. Now Octavia is the servant of the all powerful vampire. In return for services rendered, Vinyl will make Octavia's dream into a reality.

A reality Vinyl wants no part of, but she does have to admit, Octavia has her uses.

Octavia is stressed, her day was not exactly the best. She just needed to lie down and have some snuggles while somepony to hear her. Good thing Vinyl was there.

Octascratch cuteness 'cause I wanted and because it's simply cute (duh). And ya' know you love it!
