Vinyl Scratch sits backstage, getting ready for the biggest night of her career. This is the largest crowd she's ever performed for, and the grandest club she's ever performed at. Anypony would have a few jitters, especially since all this happened so fast. There's a lot of pressure on her to perform, and she's worked hard to prepare for tonight. When the moment comes, will she choke, or will the quiet support of a friend help DJ-P0N3 deliver her best show ever?

A note, this story is a continuation from one of my earlier works, What The Heart Wants. If you like one, I hope that you will enjoy the other, but no prior knowledge or reading is expected! The only prerequisite for this story is an appreciation of cartoon ponies.

Vinyl Scratch and Lyra Heartstrings are vampires, creatures of the night whose civilization has lived in humanity's shadow for thousands of years. They are self-sufficient and prideful, only venturing out of their hidden cities to replenish their stock of blood. But ties to past lives are not so easily severed.

When Lyra catches wind of supernatural happenings in her hometown of Canterlot, she and Vinyl take it upon themselves to investigate the cause.

When Discord ruled Equestria, he tortured many. A huge number have suffered because of him. Even the famous ones.

Vinyl Scratch suffered in silence, but Octavia suffered in endless sound. Isn't it ironic that one's been told and the other wasn't?

Set in the POV Universe and kinda intended to be a prequel to this.

This story is a sequel to A Hairier Problem: Rise of the Furball

Now with a reading series by martialartfruituser!

A Tale of the Berylverse. Joint project with BlueBastard and Flynt Coal.

Weeks after her defeat at the hands of the humanized Princess Twilight Sparkle, the one-time pony Sunset Shimmer is working towards making herself a better life. But in an unexpected chain of events, she ends up in a situation that not even her new friends - Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Pinkie - can get her out of...nor really do they want to. As if that's not enough, Principal Celestia's firmly against the whole deal.

But maybe if Sunset Shimmer sticks around, she'll get more than she bargained for - for good and ill....

Now blessed with its own TVTropes page!

While this does take place in BlueBastard's Berylverse, prior knowledge of his earlier stories (A Hairy Problem and Rise of the Furball) won't be necessary for Book I of this story. But it's highly recommended for Book II (and they're worth reading to begin with!)

Vinyl Scratch is feeling hopelessly confused, until she meets Octavia. Vinyl cannot come to terms with the fact that she is in love with somepony, let alone a mare.
(Updated: I spaced the text out some more. Feedback?)

Octavia has already accepted Vinyl's bisexuality. In fact, they 'flirt' with each other constantly. But what happens when Octavia invites Vinyl to stay the night? Will someone's emotions get the better of them? Will their friendship survive? Might it possibly evolve into something more? (No longer a Oneshot. Why? Because people are crazy.)

Octavia reminisces on a special performance both past and present.

Octavia always dreamed of meeting the musical prodigy who inspired her to begin playing the cello. The only problem is the young composer vanished nearly seven years ago. With the help of a fashion tycoon expanding into the music industry and a DJ who rocketed to fame in recent years, Octavia may learn more about her idol than anyone before. Unfortunately secrets seem to have a way of complicating things.

They say you should never meet your heroes after all.

This story is a sequel to Sour's on the case!

If there is one thing Lemon Zest loves, it's music! So it only makes sense that one day, she decides to start a band out of the blue. However, her fellow Shadowbolts and best friends don't seem interested in playing music with her, claiming their genre preferences are too different for this to work. When everyone else at Crystal Prep Academy turns her down as well and she is about to give up, she unexpectedly receives help from two girls outside of her school. But soon, Lemon must learn creative differences as well as a certain past between her fellow band members might make this band thing a bit more complicated han she originally thought it would be...
