Rough Draft is nerdy guy who had no friends before he moved from Appleloosa to Canterlot. His life started to improve greatly when he started to become great friends with Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Soarin, Caramel, Rarity, Fluttershy, Big Mac, and Starlight Glimmer. But deep down he wishes he could somehow win the heart of a beautiful cellist named Octavia Melody who is dating the pompous and filthy rich Blueblood.

Will he be able to gain Octavia's affections? And what will he do when the manipulative Adagio is chasing him for her own cruel means and even Starlight Glimmer might be feeling something for him as well?

This story is a sequel to Syncopation

Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Philharmonica. There's nopony in all of Equestria that doesn't know these names. They are the pinnacles of their genres and the peaks of every genre in between, but it wasn't always this way.

When they first met, Octavia was fresh out of the Canterlot Conservatory and Vinyl was the only member of Syncopated Records, a new music company created by Fancy Pants and his wife Fleur de Lis. They have grown since then, overcome trials both as individuals and as a company, but Fancy Pants still has greater plans for his company. Plans to expand, to become bigger names, to be known not only in Canterlot, but in all of Equestria! In order to do this, the musicians of Syncopated Records, Vinyl, Octavia, Harpo Parish Nadermane, and Lyra Heartstrings will travel through the princessdom, playing their songs and trying to make their own mark in music.

But it will be difficult. They'll have to be more than a company and more than a music group. They'll have to work together, getting used to their off-beat attitudes until they can work as one.

Syncopation must meet with Synchronization.

Octavia is a polite mare on her way up to fame as a cellist. She was brought up in a strict manner in order to be the perfect member of a perfect family. It was an annoyance at times, and she felt trapped. Of course, Octavia rebelled against it; her family knew what was best and what kind of pony wouldn't want to be perfect?

One day, she meets a homeless mare named Vinyl Scratch and immediately takes her in and asks her to be her servant. Vinyl opens Octavia's eyes, telling her that she's capable of making her own decisions, and that her family simply needed to accept her.

This story is a sequel to Sontavia, Taking Criticism (Octavia X Sonata Romance)

Direct sequel to Criticisms. This time around, reading the original story is required. As I figured it stood well on its own, but after some pondering I decided to continue it as my first SonTavia multi chapter story. This story taking place right after Criticism, where Octavia wants to be Sonata’s friend (and possible more). However, the self doubt she has from her parents high expectations causes her inner voice to doubt herself, and if friendship and love are really worth the trouble if she might get hurt in the end.
Which comes as a surprise when she discovers she’s not the only one in this new friendship with some baggage to deal with....

Even though I still have one Sleepless art piece I need to use ^^’ The newest one by Zalla661 felt more fitting

Octavia Melody is taking a big step in her life and she is very unsure about her future. Well, on her way to meet her new roommate, she runs into a mysterious pony who gives her hope.

All her life, Octavia has felt like she’s been dancing to another’s tune. She’s grown used to the feelings of deja vu and being strung along, and has found success in spite of her strange feelings -- friends, a good job, a wife. Her latest gig, however, threatens to throw open her past and set her future on a wildly different trajectory. Powerful forces are warring for control of Octavia’s fate, and time is running out. Take a seat -- the concert is about to begin.
