Returning home for Christmas after three weeks in Manehattan, Octavia Scratch finds her wife waiting for her with open arms. However, she also finds that her stepson, Bass, is still adapting to what is his new family.

(To clarify, this story is set in a version of Equestria that exists as a country in the real world, so it will include elements from both MLP canon (Such as locations) and reality (Such as Christmas))

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.

Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch have been best friends and eventually love interests for as long as anyone could remember, nothing could keep them apart. They had made plans together and were going to get married, surrounded by family and friends.

That was 6 months ago.

Vinyl now sits in a hospital bed. Her end slowly drawing closer with her lover sitting beside her, only one thing going through the Disc Jockeys head.

"Christ I need a drink."

One-shot OctaScratch Humanised Don't like the sound of that, you know where the door is.

I was planning to do this for her birthday but I probably would've forgot by that time. I guess it can be a gift for being the awesome friend she is. Then it got turned into a One Year FimFic Anniversary story. Still good though, right? Think of it as a gift for everyone, especially her.

To the beautiful Miss Spectrum, thank you for just being the person you are today. Can't imagine what my life would be like without you.

And to everyone else that has ever had to sit through my ramblings. You are all awesome.

Anyway, second story of mine. If you didn't like it, at least tell me why before you downvote.
If you liked it then please, say something. My writing confidence could use a boost.

Inspired by the song 'Long Live the Queen' by Frank Turner.

This story is a sequel to Discovering Friendship

Sometimes there are just too many things someone wants in a story. To make it flow properly it has to follow a set idea and have consistency. These ideas very much lack that. Some are funny, some hit you in the feels, none of them line up with the story - at least not close enough to be a part of the main story.

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!

Vinyl Scratch wants to put the past behind her as she starts her new life at Equestria United Community College. But can she overcome that past to get along with her new classically inclined roommate Octavia and learn new ways to enjoy and express music with the Equestrian Girls, the local A Cappella group of EUCC?

Yes, I know, it sounds an awful lot like some other american movie *cough cough* Pitch Perfect *cough cough*, but I couldn't help it! I watched the movie, all I thought of was that Beca was their DJ, and we had our own. So while I did get a lot of inspiration from the movie, this will have a few of it's own twists and turns.

Two side-notes to make: One, thanks to Gwg for the editing and some suggestions for this story! Two, this story takes place in the same universe as the rest of my stories, but happens 4 years before Twilight first comes to Ponyville. ENJOY!
EDIT: Yes, I've added the 'sex' tag.
SPOILER: Nothing explicit, but they get real cuddly and friendly towards the end.

There is a collection of pictures of the rest of the A Cappella team, which can be found here. Just the OC team members though, the others have rather nice pictures made by Dhx and Hasbro.

Also, I can't help but ship. I'm a romantic at heart, and I like TaviScratch. As always, please comment or message me if you give it a thumbs down, I like to learn about what went wrong.

Also also, it's been a very long time since I've done much musical stuff (I was in band for 5 years until 4 years ago) so please forgive me/excuse me if I get something wrong, and feel free to point it out by comment or message. Thanks!

It's been three weeks since Octavia's smash hit, I am Octavia, and while the cellist's career is on a high note, that's about the only thing that is. Vinyl and Octavia are a complete wreck without each other, but repairing such damage to a relationship isn't easy, nor is it always possible. This is my answer (even though I know it's already been done here) to the question on everypony's mind:

Will Vinyl and Octavia be friends again?

NOTE: If you haven't listened to EileMonty's amazing song, do so before reading this.

Octavia is a high-class pony. Fine alcohol is her wont, and uncouthness her intense chagrin. Such is her surprise to find herself lumbered with an insufferable oaf of a DJ pony. However, sometimes these situations work themselves into a satisfactory ultimatum all the same.

This story is a sequel to Tales of Apple Scratch: The Lieutenant Cloud Kicker

(Humanized) Vinyl "Apple" Scratch may not have been born an Apple, but she has been part of the Apple Family since Granny Smith took her in years ago. Finally back from Manehatten, She's got a huge surprise for her best Friend/"Sister" Applejack. A surprise that will change their life forever.
