Spitfire has really done it this time. Why couldn't she just keep her mouth shut and admit that she doesn't have anyone new in her life? And why did she have to take Soarin's challenge and introduce her 'date' at the Christmas Party?

Thankfully, she can rent a date pretty easily. And perhaps, this might lead to something more.

Sex tag mark is for lewd imagery as well as certain dialogue. No actual sex in this story.

The human versions of Applejack and Coloratura met at Camp Friendship all those years ago, but unlike their pony conterparts, they remained in touch. Now years later Rara is making it big in Manhattan and has lost almost everything that made her Rara in the first place.
Essentially, Coloratura/Applejack romance as Rara navigates fame after she breaks away from Svengallop. Not exactly a mirror of what we saw in The Mane Attraction, but kind of similar.

Magic and music have so much in common. Both come seemingly from nowhere in the material world. Both leave their subjects enchanted. And both can change lives forever.

In Trixie's case, not necessarily for the better.

With her popularity and prosperity waning, Trixie ends up in a backwater country village called Fall Bridge, and ends up insulting the locals almost instantly, as she is wont to do.

Down on her luck, she seeks solace at the Mermaid Tavern in the selfsame village…

And who should she bump into there but the lovely Countess Coloratura? Yes, Equestria’s onetime most beloved superstar – now known as “Rara” – is also having difficulties. The tastes of music are somewhat less stable than the tastes of magic.

However, the Great and Powerful Trixie has heard her sing. She's been captured by a new kind of magic.

A plan occurs to her: a bold and ambitious plan, one that'll get the once-disgraced magician back on top. For young and trusting Rara is her golden ticket to a classy comeback…

To say that life is simple for Berry Punch, regular of the pubs and bars of Ponyville, would be understating her routine. Go to work; deal with mental anguish at the hooves of unrelenting mares, stallions, or whoever, who thought they could push around managers and service workers; then go to one of her favorite establishments to forget the day. The Hearth's Warming season is no different, and in fact, brings more reason to end each evening in a mental fog. Who can have an enjoyable time while they live alone and rarely meet with anyone during the holidays?

However, at some point, everypony needs a little help to get out of a rut, and after a particularly difficult day, she might finally have the pony to help nudge her on the right path. Somepony just as broken as her. Just with a little magic inside her.

\\I decided this be cancelled because I can't come up with any good ideas for it anymore. Sorry if I disappointed y'all.

"I'm NOT obsessing over some "fictional horse", mmkay?" I said with a hint of annoyance in my voice. "I just, you know, like her. She may have never said a single line in the show, but somehow the fans gave her such a tomboyish, strong, and reckless attitude. That's what makes me like her. What makes you think I'm obsessing!?"

"Alright, alright... I get it. If you're not obsessing, then tell me why are you wearing magenta contacts?"

"My what?"

Basically, I got turned into Vinyl Scratch, well, her human form for now... But what do I do? Sport my very distracting blue hair in public?

There's been mysterious and strange noises coming from underneath, a terrifying growls throughout the night, scratching against the wooden floor, as it creak from the sound of moment.
