Octavia Philharmonica is a desperate mare. Her involvement in the ill-fated "pony pokey" at the prestigious Grand Galloping Gala has left her blacklisted among the elite of Canterlot who form her clientele. Faced with the possibility of being evicted from her apartment for inability to pay rent she decides to take a temporary job at a local nightclub. Of course, she's never set hoof in a club before and has no idea what she's getting involved in . . .

This story is a sequel to Inconvenient Roommates

Vinyl and Octavia have been living together for weeks,
both still unsure about their feelings.
It is Hearts and Hooves day now,
Octavia has a concert and Vinyl has a plan.
Will it succeed or fail?

One of my H&H day specials. The third of five, to be exact
Edited by the wonderful ForgottenExistance

The grey earth-pony Octavia Philharmonica has everything she'd ever desired: A small house in Trottingham and appointments at the Concert Hall. But there is something missing. Despite all of her dreams, she is incredible lonely. She even places a small ad in the local paper to find a roommate that fits taste. Once Vinyl, a white-coated unicorn, appears in front of her door, Octavia's world completely changes, bringing back the past that she and Vinyl forgot.

(Rated teen with sex for some heated situations and.. talk. But no clop! Just to stay safe^^)
Main chars are Vinyl and Tavi, but since Spitfire and Sassaflash are appearing quite a lot now I added the 'other' and 'Spitfire' chartags too. Luna tag added for chapter seven and eight

Note: The first two chapters are now edited. Thanks to VitalSpark for that!

I don't fit in. no pony wants someone like me. ill never find love. so what's the point in living? ive been without love for 5 years now, and I try not to care what the world thinks, but its just not worth it anymore. that's what I thought, until SHE saved me

Derpy flew off as fast as possible to her own house, bumping into everything on the way. “Why I am not smart? Why do I always ruin everything? Why? Why? Why? Why?” Derpy looked up and realized she was holding a knife. “Why is there a knife in my hoof? Would I make Ponyville better if I killed myself? Everypony hates me. Rainbow Dash doesn’t even say hi to me anymore…”

“I lose myself in the music and tug cold, dead notes on a page into sonorous, transcendent life. And momentarily they fall back into oblivion, these notes. It's an immediacy and tragedy no writer or painter or sculptor could know; it's a magic of a kind no unicorn horn could ever come close to, and I am privileged and humbled to be a part of it.”

“I can see the smile on her face, all genuine, and I can see the concentration on her brow. She's into this performance. She's really into it. You can feel, FEEL the passion wellin up inside of her. In her every motion there's nothin but pure, unapologetic life. She's doin what she loves, she's good at it, and there's nothin sexier than that.”

Stress. Self-betrayal. Worries about where you're going in life. And a chance encounter with a fellow performer to show you that maybe it's not all not all that bad.

Warning: Contains feels, cuddling without sex, naughty words, and more than one endash.

Octavia is worried about Vinyl. With their wedding in four months, Octavia has been growing more and more stressed trying to make sure everything is perfect. But when one morning, Octavia finds her fiancé holding her glasses and bawling her eyes out, Octavia decides it's time to get help.

Vinyl Scratch, also known as DJ-P0n3, is one of the most famous DJs in Canterlot. But lately, she's been feeling like something's missing in her life. And then a gray Earth pony mare shows up at her club one night...

Author's Note: I wanted to do something different with the Octavia/Vinyl Scratch pairing. In all the stories I've read, Tavi was the reserved, more quiet one while Vinyl was the party girl. But what if it were the other way around? What if Vinyl was the more reserved one and Tavi the wild girl? This is my attempt to expand on that idea.

It can be troubling at times, when you like nice quiet evenings, and your marefriends have a much different idea of fun. But then, being out of your comfort zone is what brought you together.

When Applejack goes to a strip club, she finds some pony that manages to catch her eye. Who would guess that the pony she falls for is her exact opposite!
