Just a little short story about Octavia and Vinyl Scratch practicing their respective instruments… in the same room. Which, for anypony who knows them, obviously will lead to… problems.

The name also has a double meaning because I’m practicing. Practicing writing that is.

This is my first story posted on Fimfiction, and is mostly only just practice as I said. It is also to figure out how posting a story even works!

POV Characters:
- Octavia Melody

Other Characters:
- Vinyl Scratch AKA DJ-pon3

NOTICES:
Contains Octavia x Vinyl, which is a lesbian shipping. If you are homophobic feel free to NOT read my story. But if you wish to read it, realize that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, and then become a good, loving and tolerant person… That’s okay too.

I don’t have an editor or pre-reader and I wrote this really quickly, so it probably sucks. I'm not really a good writer and I know that. Just enjoy it as it is, for what it is: Fluff.
(I also know I overuse ellipses!)

Constructive criticism is welcome, but I’ll be honest: I'm kind of easily hurt, so try to be kind about it please.

There will be no clop… but there will be subtle hints. (Or maybe not so subtle). All only mention of course. No explicit mentions though, don’t worry…

This story concept could very easily have already been used by someone on this site or beyond. However, if this is the case, I have not ever seen it. So sorry if I seem to be copying someone. It’s entirely accidental.

Edit: This fic now has a dramatic reading on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-5UUJ4bvn0

PS: Not planning a sequel or anything, but if I get surprisingly positive results I might. Let me know if you want one etc. etc.
I’m not a huge shipper of Octavia x Vinyl, but I do passively ship them. I’ve been reading a lot of fics about them lately and decided write some myself. That way, if I screw up, I won’t ruin one of my favourite ships!

Rarity just wanted to curl up with a book with no redeeming values except the prose. But curling up with a friend can be just as much fun.

Man, shipping is very anti-reading right now, isn't it?

Teen because hot mare on mare action isn't for everyone.

Now with a positively fabulous Dramatic Reading, darling!

Expectations. Fame or infamy. Family. Friends. Work.

They all define everypony in different measures. Sometimes the feeling is positive... and sometimes... sometimes it gets to be a bit much.

Ten years ago, Twilight made the ultimate sacrifice in order to defeat Tirek. Equestria has been in a state of civil war ever since.

Canterlot has at last fallen, and the six heroes of the rebellion now go to face the ultimate challenge: defeating the godlike Twilight Sparkle. What they expect to be a brutal, hard won quest for glory and Equestria's salvation turns into something entirely different... and now they face a choice.

This story is a reaction piece against the Tyrant Sparkle trope.

Special thanks to Absolution for pre-reading and Danger Beans for proofreading.

Now with a Chinese Translation courtesy of Hellagur.

When Twilight told the Princess that one of her long-time friends was actually a changeling drone, she expected shock, she expected questions, requests for proof.

She did not expect "Yes, I know. Was that all?"

Now with a dramatic reading by Alicentaur Br0ny!

...and another one by Voiceguy!

And a most impressively produced reading by obabscribbler!

(If you're just going to listen to one of them, pick the third one).

Translated into Chinese (by Chelicera) can be found on FimTale.

A candid entry from the diary of Twilight Sparkle.

Idea done with the permission of the wonderfully talented Skywriter. If you haven't read Princess Celestia Hates Tea, go and do that now.

This also has a live reading by Scribbler. It's not that bad!

Applejack and Rainbow Dash, sharing the barn during a rain.
Sometimes, admitting your secret love to your best friend doesn't quite work out the way you had hoped and dreamed...

Another story entirely inspired by a piece of fanart, in this case John Joseco's Apple and Rainbow in a Barn.

What if Discord had not been turned to stone by the Mane 6? What if he had escaped?
It is three years later and the Mane 6 have moved on with their lives, all except Fluttershy, who cannot get the draconequus out of her mind. The others are happy in their new and comfortable lives, until their enemy returns and will only relieve Equestria of his havoc in exchange for a bride.

This has been adapted into an audio series.

Also, here's a dramatic reading by Pablo Didonna, and one by 666HellGirl1

Discord has found Tirek, and is about to parade him back to his friends for their love and adoration. But an offer is made, an enticing offer... He'll need to talk this one over with a friend.

The Doctor has had many companions over the years, some staying for only moments while some stay for years. But in the end, they all… disappear. But one certain grey mare haunts his thoughts more and more. Now, when he bumps into her daughter, the truth as to why she lingers comes out.
