Twilight is packing up her tiny, closet lab at Crystal Prep to leave for her new friends at Canterlot High School. Before she leaves, Sugarcoat pokes in to say something.

This story is a sequel to Shadowbolts Adventures: Together As One (Uncut Version)

Lemon Zest has been dating Vinyl Scratch for quite some time now, but lately she finds herself growing frustrated with the lack of progress in their relationship. She feels terrible about it at first, but soon decides that she needs to have a long talk with Vinyl about it. But their discussion cuts deep, dragging up old memories that still haunt Vinyl to this day that could bring an end to their romance, and possibly their friendship.

Rated T for adult language and sexual discussion.

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.

It's just genetic for the Apple Family girls to have large breasts. Granny Smith has them, Applejack has them, and now Apple Bloom has developed hers. But once her bust comes in in full and others begin treating her differently, she realizes that perhaps it's not as much of a "gift" as she once believed.

Rated T for partial nudity and discussion of breasts. There is no sexual content in this story, the tag is strictly because Moderators demanded it.

Being a complete introvert, Octavia is very surprised when a strange looking girl in her music class calls her a peculiar nickname. Her name is Vinyl Scratch, and for some reason, she acts like Octavia is her best friend! Who in the world is this girl???

This story is heavily inspired by my love of Dawnfade's Vinyl and Octavia: University Days and my endearing love of Japanese yuri manga.

Got featured a while back and somepony was nice enough to point that out.

Diamond Tiara has always been known as a braggart and a bully. She has manipulated and subjugated her fellow students and the town of Ponyville ever since she could remember. Now that she has changed and had some time alone, she can see all of the damage she has done. She feels she has no choice but to go to Princess Twilight Sparkle herself and try to do something about it.

In some fashion or another, Adagio has always had the gift of sound in her life, either by her own musical talent or from the constant babbling of her cohorts. When that gift is suddenly torn away from her soul, she is forced to reconcile debates in her mind previously concealed by the music she once possessed.

Fleeing from her problems is one thing, but having to deal with those issues tormenting her conscious directly is quite another.

This story is a sequel to Shadowbolts Adventures: Get Rekt

On a late-night hangout session, the five Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are having a good time until Sour Sweet begins acting strangely. When Sunny Flare discovers that someone has replaced her medication with sugar pills, Sour Sweet loses control of herself. This simple prank could cost someone their life.

Rated T for adult language and violence.

Canterlot High and Crystal Prep Academy each have their fair share of amazing students, both academically and athletically. None, however, are quite as notable as Rainbow Dash and Indigo Zap.

A short time after the near-disastrous events of the Friendship Games, the two star athletes from each school arrange to meet up for a chat at a city park, where they find that they're not as different as they may have thought.
