Based off the song I Am Octavia.
Octavia's first album is about to come out and everyone is talking about it. There is one song in particular that everyone loves, I Am Octavia. There's some mystery to why or who it was written about, but that didn't stop it from becoming a hit.
Vinyl Scratch knows who it's about when Octavia wrote it. It's been a year since the two of the broke up and Octavia has become a star. She wants them to get back together, but she knows she only has one shot.

Always feel bad about Vinyl/Octavia break ups... cause they're one of my favorite pairings. But a good story you have here.
No offense to the person who wrote this but... Octavia is a bit of a bitch in this one. Has she ever been alone on new years eve? Nope probably not. Her boyfriend is fucking g pervert too and is a pick for knowing damn right that he's hurting vinyl by being together with octavia. Tavi and whoever the hell that other dude is are both douchbags in this one! That's all I like too say. I would say more but my tablet is being sort of an ass right now so.... ya

What the fuck are you even talking about? First: don't call someone a bitch. It's rude and demeaning to women. You could have said she was rude or nasty and it would have the same effect. Second: what does the new years thing have anything to do with the story? The author never mentions new years so what the hell? Third: how is the other guy a pervert? According to Octavia, he's a nice guy that looks out for his little sister.
Yes, Octavia was being rude to Vinyl, but Vinyl really hurt her. She wasn't being rude just for the sake of being mean. She was upset with her. And the other guy had no idea that those two were a thing. And if he did, then it's obviously over. If you had read anything else he has ever done than you would know that he trusts the reader and expects the read to look into what he's saying. Try it next time.
Okay first of all u dumb prick! I wasn't even talking to u. Plus I'm only 13 so maybe u should think about u say next time dumb ass! I'm a woman too u sexist basted! I can say the ever the hell I want so don't tell me what to do, and it's a joke! Can't u take a joke bitch huh?! Plus this and my anger management issues isn't helping either! Why would I hate this story so much if I gave it a fave and it a place on my bookshelf. Plus octavia is a bitch in this one! She could've given vinyl a second chance?! Opinions are like asses. Everybody has one! So shut the fuck up and mind ur own damn busses next time! K bitch!?

Really you idiot? You think just because you're a woman, you're excluded from sexism? It's that kind of thinking that will land you in a shit storm. And I'm not going to watch what I say, if you don't. When I was 13 my parents would have beaten me if I even thought about saying bitch. And how am I supposed to know you liked it? There isn't a button on here that doesn't tell people who gave what story a thumbs up. I'm going to let some things slide because you're 13, but let me tell you something: If your significant other hurts you so bad and you've given them chance after chance after chance, you're not want that person in your life.

And calling me an idiot is offensive Cuz I have a mental sickness of which I don't want to talk about due to personal reasons, but if u get into people's businesses and think that only ur opinion matters than get ur head out of ur ass Cuz u one day ur gonna say the wrong thing to the wrong person and they're gonna get physical on ur ass so mind ur busses u dumb idiot!

Even if he's being a prick, still be respectful to elders. I'm telling you now, there is nothing more insulting than being less mature than the person you're insulting. Also, you're 13, please stop using "bitch". It's extremely rude and does not make sound more mature. Your parents might be a little more liberal when it comes to using swear words, but that doesn't make it okay. And don't lightly swing around things like mental disabilities to win arguments. People won't respect you for doing and the're probably going to use it against you. For that matter, stop looking for excuses to use certain words or exemption from others. If you start a fight, then get ready to shrug off a few punches.
I like to think this story is about perspective (don't take this as what it really means authorial intent is crap). People who have never been hurt the way Vinyl hurt Octavia can see Octavia as being nasty. She wasn't listening to anything Vinyl was saying and just had no interest in her. However, if someone has been badly hurt by a significant other, than Tavi was justified. All the good times you had with that person are gone and all you can see is that one event and you can never forgive them for that. That's just what I thought, dig a little deeper and tell me what you think.

Stop being an ass. There are plenty of different ways to say everything you said. This person is 13. Be more respectful. Try and think if you had a kid that was 13 years old. Would you say anything that you just said to this person. Have a little more respect for other people in the community. It doesn't matter what they say to you, be respectful. There is no need to call others an "idiot" or even cuss at them. All you're doing is proving how immature you are.
That is exactly my point. And even though I should tone it down, my mom said that no matter how old the person is, that I should always fight back. Also my parents can decipher if I can cuss or whatnot. I didn't even state my mental issues, and if u think that that's excuses that I'm making up,than that's what's wrong with society today. Plus that dude is sexist basterd!
This story has a twist I'm not used to in OctoScratch fics, an ending where it doesn't work out perfectly with sunshine and rainbows and make up sex and whatnot? My preconceived notions says no, but the rest of me says yes. I'm glad there are writers drifting from the norms of this ship. I'm glad you've made these characters more relatable by making them imperfect. You've taken the incorruptible ship and made its characters real, with anger, worry, depression and unperfect endings. Let it be known I look forward to more of your work, you've taken the story with the already overly cliche ending of Vinyl and Octavia getting back together and flipped it on its head, challenge more of the norms, but dot stray too far, for you have seen the wrath of those dedicated to this ship.
On a less pseudo intelligent level:
Vinyl is desperate, and very,I like this change from her usual slightly depressed self loathing self into a selfish and more realistic version of somebody who's realized what they've lost. Octavia is more realistically portrayed post breakup too, without the trope of her being successful yet unhappy in her love life you've pushed in a darker and more real direction of love, its ups, downs, how bad you can really hurt somebody when you get close, and how hard and sometimes impossible it is to forgive them.
Please forgive me for my long reviews, you've got some serious things in this story, I think it needed a serious review.
But...Why?
