Octavia feels like she is living in Vinyl Scratch's shadow, a bit part to the DJ's main act.

But then the opportunity of a lifetime comes, and she's given a chance to perform at Carneighgie Hall under a legendary composer.

The only caveat: she'll have to cancel a duet performance with Vinyl on Hearth's Warming Eve...

When you described their performance at the end I could hear the sweet dulcet tones of the TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA

Partial inspiration may have been taken. :raritywink:

Why does this story say it was published last year when it showed up in the updated stories list of this year?

Ah, that's because the chapter was published in December, but due to the rules of the event it was written for, I couldn't publish the actual story until after New Year's Day.

Awhhh hell yeah! Babe, a new octa scratch fic dropped!!

This is a very great story, very good work on it!
Also eheheh, reading that restaurant name and what that waitress is saying in French is golden :rainbowlaugh: I wouldn't try to eat anything from there though...

As one specific reader, I can hardly keep myself from smirking at "L’Anus Serré"

(I feel like I don't see how it's quite in character for the Canterlotites (Canterlotians??), idk? I mean, I assume some of them KNOW Prench.)

On other notes, the story premise is great, and I hope to find time to finish reading this.
:twilightsheepish:

You will attend this concert and secure a path forward, or else you will remain a mere accompanist until you are old and gray!”

“...well, mother, I’m already gray,” Octavia retorted.

😁

?????? What? Is this a bot?

I reported them but it looks like they haven't been banned. I'll send another report, then delete the comment.

This is one kind of bot I don't want to associate with. :trollestia:

"lashed about face as though"
"lashed about her face as though"?

"Octavia smirked as she hoised the cello case onto her back."
"Octavia smirked as she hoisted the cello case onto her back."?

[checks with Google Translate]
Ah, yes, I thought that "mort" might be suspect. :D
Though it turned out it was the previous line insulting the customers.

"doing here?”


“I… well"
There appears to be an extra line break here?

Nice. :)
Thanks for writing!
