Fiddlesticks visits Applejack in the middle of winter to gather seeds for the spring planting. While there, she meets Octavia, who teaches this shy country pony that a lack of formal training doesn't mean that she can't use her music to make others happy.

To put it simply, this was wonderful.

I'm going to be adding this to a lot of groups to try to get others to read it.

I'm very glad you like it so much! I'm really happy it came out so well.
Very sweet and lovely fic, definitely can't wait to read more from you. :)
3323586
Well I've got plenty more stories to read :)
Since you like stuff that's touching, "Un-Birthday for a Princess" might be your best bet.
3323632 I actually just discovered I have read it and somehow failed to stalk you. This has been remedied
It was staggering,
but the more she played, the more
she wanted to play.
A very poignant haiku, Slate
This was...
It was....
Just this.
This is amazing!
3503833
Does it still count if you didn't even know it was a haiku?
3503921
I'm so glad you liked it!
3503921
And this was my first pony fic ever.
That's what 22 years of formal education will do to you!
3504055 Oh I'm no real critic. I just really enjoyed this sweet little interlude
3504064
I am glad you did. I really wanted this to be a sweet little piece about a sweet little character.
3504073 Oh trust me I have a rather convoluted headcannon over Fiddlesticks
3504077
Just glad you liked the story :)
Okay, that was genuinely awesome. Just. . . yeah, awesome!
Hmm... I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this story. I like it, so it's getting the little green thumb, but there were a few tiny niggling details that keep me from putting a favorite star on it. A missed word here and there, a typo or two, a little too much convenience in the plot...
You are a good writer with a lot of talent, and I just might have to read some of your other stuff, but... Get yourself a good editor and you could take this good and make it truly great.
3505217
What typos? What word errors? Please let me know so I can fix them!
And yes, I desperately need an editor, but no one has stepped up in three months, and I doubt they ever will.
3504454
Glad you liked it!
11/17-18/2013 Made onto EqD.
Pretty good story you have, I think one of the few that doesn't have Octavia acting like a snob to Fiddlesticks... and doesn't have her hooked up with Vinyl.
I haven't seen any noticeable typo's but I think you forgot a word here.
(located in the part where Tavi and fiddlesticks play together)
"she gently slipped into a soft improvisation, returning to the ??? she had learned as a filly"
and allow me to add that this is a charming fanfic! Keep up the good work ^.^

In my book, unless they're in love in the show, they shouldn't be in love in the fanfics.
I think I'm in the minority there, but I like it.
3506254
Left out the word "Melodies"
Fix'd, thanks for finding it!
3506573
They should also meet first, which is also my biggest issue with the paring.
This is lovely!
3506058
Alright... you asked for it. The PM's in your mailbox, hope it helped.
3506573 I hear ya, man. Whoever thumbed down your comment's a fanboy.
3506891
I'm so glad you liked it!
3507758
Thanks. I can't make the changes right now, I need to sleep. But you are right, these changes need to be made, and I feel bad about missing them in all those other edits...

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, so long as they don't hurt others.
3509047 Sure, everyone's entitled to their opinion. That much is obvious. But how come everyone thinks that phrase creates some magic barrier to prevent people's opinions from being ridiculed?
3509347
If I knew that, I could become a rich man.
Slate, I've gotta admit, I'm super glad you made all those renditions. Without them, EQD wouldn't have accepted the story and I'd never have come across this pure gold.
Your characters were very well made and I don't think I've ever come across a one shot before that has done this good a job at establishing a background pony's character. I'm sure you must hear it alot, but thank you so much for making such a great story and sharing it with us all.
P.S. Ashokan Farewell was a very nice touch. When I came across it for the first time, I knew what song to put on repeat for the remainder of the fic.

Editing is a big part of any story. You never really finish writing something, you just stop working on it and turn it in.
I do wish they'd be a bit more forgiving at times, but most of the changes they ask for are ones that really do need to be made, so I keep my complaints to myself. Mostly.
I'm glad you liked the story.
I chose "Ashokan Farewell" because I'm so familiar with it (my grandfather was obsessed with Ken Burns's "The Civil War" which uses "Ashokan" as its theme song). It's a very pretty but melancholy song, and also it's a song that, when played properly, requires a violin and a cello as the primary instruments. So I figured it was ideal for these two.
If I knew how to make SFM pony movies, I'd make a short of them playing the song. It just fits so well.
I enjoyed this story. I really liked Fiddlesticks as a character and I think you did well writing for other established characters.
I do have one suggestion for your consideration. When Octavia introduces herself, I think you should have only had her say: "My name is Octavia" and not give her nickname to a complete stranger who is also in a radically different social circle. I think it would have been correct for her lightly reserved demeanor as you have written her. Also, and most importantly, I think it would have made Octavia's consoling and reassuring moment: “The name’s Tavi to you, friend,” more powerful.
That's what jumped out at me, I hope this helps.
Fantastic fic, really strong detail. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing some more epicness x3
