Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch are musicians and the best of friends; despite this, the two couldn't be more different. But when Octavia leaves Ponyville to find her fortune, she learns that her friend might have been all she ever really needed. Meanwhile, Vinyl finds herself trapped in the shadow of her father, struggling to make her own fame.

Follow them, and many other Equestrian musicians, as they further their musical careers, meet new friends, find love, and experience loss. Together, they encounter dangers, challenges and, ultimately, face the greatest realization of all - what it means to accept one's own destiny.

Using songs of the fandom for inspiration, this story was crafted to show the love of music in all it's forms, but also the love music brings to those around it. This story follows the timeline of the show, trying to match it as closely as possible. This does not mean it's not without bumps.
Speaking of editing; a huge shout-out for Aburi, my editor. He may not be the fastest editor - life being what life is - but his suggestions have made my story that much better for everyone reading. Thank you, Aburi!

Bonus Chapters are not required reading, but are just fun little additions. They do include some development for side character, or fun scenarios I wanted to toss in, but many of them are just that: bonuses.

A mare who rarely speaks, a mare who never had a voice. This is the story, of how they found each other's voices...

Octavia had once lived the life of a a noble. Under the reign of her tyrannical mother to be shaped into a ‘perfect’ mare, Octavia’s only comfort came from music. When that only joy is about to be taken away from her at her arranged wedding, she runs away to the first train leaving Trottingham. From there, she ends up in Ponyville, where she meets a rather mute, and irritable DJ named Vinyl Scratch…
Most of the time. She speaks, but not often. More so than when Octavia was able to speak her mind. Will the two be able to heal from the wounds that made them this way, or will Octavia’s mother be able to track her down and ruin everything that has formed between the two musicians?

They put up a lot with me with some of the choice I made jut in the first chapter, so be sure to show them some love ^^'

Vinyl Scratch is well known as DJ PON-3 across Equestria. Other than their music career, however, not much is known of the pony’s personal life as they struggle with their relationship, identity, past, music and coping with the effects of their actions on others.

Vinyl was born blind, but that hasn't stopped her from chasing her dreams of stardom. when she moves into her first condo she finds a bundle of energy called Octavia. If she can survive this young earth pony's "help" then finding a gig should be a peace of cake.

A short story that came to me after almost getting hit by a bus.

Everyone's favorite musical pairing is back in another fanfic! Octavia and Vinyl are now room-mates, and are like any other couple...but how will they react when they discover there's another about to show up?

Octavia is given a series of cassette tapes, rolling her through the times that she & Vinyl spent together. The most surprising thing of it all, though? Vinyl hasn’t talked in years. To hear her marefriend’s voice, recollecting everything they’ve done together, Octavia is taken on an emotional rollercoaster.

There are eight tapes, each with their own story. Feel free to listen along - and hear the true ending. The one that wasn't recorded. These stories are about unexpected events, music, loss, and most importantly, love.

alt tag: Bittersweet.

Vinyl Scratch - stage name DJ PON-3 - has it all. A swanky Manehattan apartment, the latest fashions, the hottest music, and a manager who obeys her every command. It's all about her - or so she thinks - but her manager Marble Star has other ideas, and is convinced he needs to help her change her cruel, self-centered party-mare ways. So when the opportunity arises for Vinyl to attend Ponyville's annual Music Festival which is being organised by a group of young musicians led by a cellist named Octavia, Marble signs her up immediately - and the cocky DJ ends up getting more than she bargained for in the small-town celebration. But will it be enough to turn her attitude around?

Octavia leaves Ponyville - and her best friend Vinyl Scratch - behind as a filly when she tries to be better known as a cellist by heading to Canterlot. She makes a promise she'll come back to be with Vinyl again yet struggles to fulfil her promise.

A refined mare fresh out of high school and a dropout following her dreams find themselves forced to spend a lot of time together.

With the help of a meddling psychology tutor and their new classmates, can they find what they've been looking for?
