Octavia and Vinyl have been in a relationship for a long time. As all relationships go, one member of the duo must eventually give in and go along with the other's plans. Octavia agreed to go with Vinyl, but something happened to the thing she held dear. Will Vinyl be able to fix things?

Awesome (first?) story! Aside from the couple of simple errors in the beginning, it was really well written. I love the dynamic between Tavi and Vinyl but honestly if my boyfriend ever dropped my cello, I would either break his violin or call it off, so good on Tavi for sticking to it.
I kinda want to see what else you will write, so you deserve a follow :)
Keep it up!
6743218 Heh, thanks. I've written a few others, but this is the first one I've finished. I do plan on writing more, I just gave to decide what to write about.
That was such a sweet story.
6745675 Thanks, I tried my best.
Oh goodness, this was a very sweet fic! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this for our Hearth's Warming Eve contest, Paradox!
Aside from some spelling errors, there was only one thing that particularly annoyed me. The gift itself making up for what Vinyl did. Now that's largely because of what it was replacing; not only was Octavia's old cello the only one she'd used in her professional career (from what we're told, at least), but it was also a priceless family heirloom. I'm no string instrumentalist myself, but from what I know about them, it's hard sometimes to work with different instruments if they've been working with one in particular for years, and one as nice as what Octavia had, trying to replace that with a new cello is like trying to replace a Stradivarius with a new violin. But really, it didn't irk me that much, just a tad.
Overall, this was a lovely one-shot. I liked both Octavia and Vinyl's characterizations, nothing was too over-the-top, this was very much a slice-of-life fic through and through. Definitely one of the better ones I've read for our contest so far. Good effort, good effort indeed!
6837351 Thanks, Batsy! I did have a bit of issue deciding if Vinyl should replace the cello or get it repaired, and decided that it would be a bit better for her to win a new one in a charity auction, to fit the contest rules a bit more.
