After the fiasco leading to the split between her and Vinyl, Octavia is invited to stay with an old ex of hers in Ponyville. Begrudgingly, she accepts. There's always been something... off about Lyra, though Octavia could never tell. Now, caught between bad press and an eccentric ex, she's about to understand just what makes this mare so... strange.

Or My Roomate is a Changeling. Not really, but whatever. So, first story in a while, and I'm pretty excited about it.
Special thanks to: ABronyLife42 for helping me along with this.
1732140 Would that be a reference to one Master Dennis?
This looks awesome. I'm sorry I don't have the time to read it just yet, but READ IT I SHALL!
Until further notice
Seems good so far, it is a nice break from the usual bonlyra and octascratch shipping, i am eagerly expecting more.
Before reading... there's one view and four +1's and one -1's.
EDIT: After reading, seems good so far.
... Is he gone? Is Regidar gone? ALRIGHT! Well, that being said, your concept is awesome and I look forward to more!
... Curious....
KEEEEEEP DOOOOOING YOOOOOUR THANG

If someone downloads the story to read elsewhere (like on an e-reader or tablet) it doesn't count as a story view, unfortunately.
This looks interesting, perhaps the first Octydl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Octavia2.png story I have read without Vinyldl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Vinyl_Scratch.png playing a major role. If the character tags are to be trusted. I will keep an eye on this.
Ah! A story from Lynked! Well, let's see what we have here...
... what? WHAT!? Octavia without Vinyl? No Bon-Bon!? This goes against every fan fiction headcanon I've ever read! OVERLOAD! DOES NOT COMPUTE!
To whit, I positively LOVE IT.
The humor is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Quirky-crazy Lyra smelling Octavia's hair, her reaction to the cake - I was laughing my head off!
I know very well that many authors apparently despise mere mortal posts that don't immediately denounce their work, instead wanting for the harshest of criticisms in hopes that such will lead to vast improvements. If you're that sort of author, Lynked, then... I'm sorry. I don't find anything wrong here: grammar and characterization is right on par, concept well executed and the structure is solid.
So, though a girl, I'm going to side with the neckbeards and mouth-breathers and merely offer the following - WELL DONE! IF I WEREN'T ALREADY HAPPILY FOLLOWING YOU, I'D BE DOING SO NOW. Perhaps the greatest comedy is for timing, yes? Might I be dissuaded from being so delighted if I weren't so desperately desiring a well-conceived laugh? No. This is a GOOD CHAPTER to what I believe shall be an even BETTER STORY.
I apologize profusely for not being able to rip your recent work to shreds. I wish I could - I'd happily make a nest out of it and sleep in it. Believe it or not, that was praise.
Looking forward to seeing this through - thanks so much for the laughs!

Awwww i wish octavia never had that figt with vinyl i love those two couples
P.s.s maybe you can read my story called my day in ponyville
Hmmm....looks intriguing. Going on my read later list, but I shall indeed read it!
1734235 OH NUTS! Dunsparce! Run!
Hmmmm, well not going to lie, there are a few other fics with lyra as a changeling. (if this IS in fact where this is going) but this take seems new and exciting.
*Grabs bowl of popcorn*

Very funny with the splatted cake.
tis good! write more
Oh this sounds fun
Pretty good start! Like the idea
Sanity? I didn't even know 'em.
there was no teal unicorn
we’ve so much to catch up one
1. Mint, or did you mean teal as well in your next paragraph? Oh well, we shall see.
2. On.
You made Lyra cry...
Pinkie does not approve
I don't even know what i'm doing anymore!!
Oh thank you, as a fan of Octyra - as I'm calling it - i've been hoping someone would write one for a while. I'd writer one myself, but right now, I'm working on a big ass story about a friendship between them as they go on an adventure. But I digress.
In any case, you're off to a fun start here, lil scrap for content, but hey, it's something. Please continue and let us know where this goes.
1733603 Yeah, I just hope it wasn't the USS TaviVinyl blowing holes in this story. Landed four shots so far.
1733885 Wow, and thanks for the feedback
To be honest, I haven't written in a while, so I felt a little out of my element when I wrote this. Made me a bit nervous to post it, actually. I almost didn't, for fear that the comedy was about as funny as a cinderblock, but it's good to know I've done better than that.
1735706 Yes, this chapter was a bit sparing, I'll admit. I hoped to set up the scene, characters, ideas, while leaving the strangeness of Lyra a mystery. The cake felt like the perfect end to this chapter, and next chapter should have actual sustenance.
Thanks for the comment!
1734369 Indeed there are, and I've seen a few. Hope mine proves to be a unique experience for you though
1735581 Thanks for pointing those out! I didn't have an official editor help me with this, so it's a bit raw.
1733963 Because they're obviously balloons.
1735303 Who even needs 'em?
1733714 Here's hoping I pull this off to the best of standards!
Thanks!
1733594 I would be, perhaps
1733613 Thank you!
1734222>>1734766>>1735012>>1735258 Thanks guys
You're making me pretty excited about this fic.
1737286 though i do wonder, what made you come up with that name? when i see it, all i can think is "is this a clop story?". i can't put my finger on why, but it really does make me think it is a clop story until i see the tag and discovers it is actually good.
1737328 Hmm, I thought it was witty, in a way. Figured it'd be good for a comedy story. Heh, I don't quite see clop, but perhaps others do. It would explain the downvotes, I suppose
1737449 i agree, it is a good and witty title, but it does bring associations to certain clop fic titles as they are usually the only ones to utilize those kinds of puns
If i had it, the gif saying this is gonna be good would be here. As i don't, i shall simply say.
This gonna be good.
#proceed mon ami.
1737226
Yep, looks very good, I also like how Lyra seems to almost behave like a second Pinkie Pie. A good deal of fannon seems to accept that lyra is energetic but you seem to put a bit more into it then most and I do like this.
btw I can't help but imagine "how could this happen to me" at the cake splat,
images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120405204945/mlp/images/thumb/2/21/How_could_this_happen_to_Lyra/120px-How_could_this_happen_to_Lyra.jpg
Oh and one last thing in general...
WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME OF THE EXTRA "O" IN THE WORD "popcorn" IN MY FIRST POST!
I fixed it now but geez....
1738667 Heh, that scene was the reason I wrote the cake scene
And Lyra should be energetic; it's even canon. But I like it because it works for my favor 
You'll see.
Because popcrn is hilarious.
1738767
Yay! I guessed right! Can't wait for more.
as for the mistake it didn't say "popcrn".... it said "poopcorn"... oh well. It could have been worse, could have also had my finger slip one to the right just after pressing the "w" key and thus hitting the "e" when writing "bowl" making it "bowel"
Things could always be worse, lol.
Goodbye Sanity indeed... This is really good. Have a like, a fave, and an image macro.
iambrony.jsmart.web.id/mlp/gif/mlfw1126_my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-im-with-twilight-on-this-one.gif?1347573119
ees good.
Feh! Behold the conceit of one unfamiliar with true matters of taste. The true connoisseur judges flavour not by its nature, but rather by the heights to which its nature has risen; caste over cast, if thou wilt. Then again, she is a monochromatic mare amidst polychromatic ponies.
Technical issues are the bane of my existence. This should have been here four days ago. Well... it's here now.
So this could be considered a continuation of Chapter 1 I suppose, in setting things up and such. Don't worry though, I have plans for this. Tips and tricks on comedy would of course be useful, as it's obviously not my forte. Also, if you see some weird indent issue, tell me please. 
1799621
Thanks! Yeah, that stuff was written to be confusing, but I'm setting up some comical literary dominoes right now. Heh, just hoping they fall straight.
1799643 You already have a green-light
I love when people do that kind of thing, it makes me feel special.
Is Lyra a Changeling? That is my current theory.
I have seen Lyra played as random before, but damn....this is taking it to the next level and then finding the secret passage to the end of the next level, please keep up the wonderful story
"Extra lovely batch", eh? Certainly no hidden undertone there at all, I'm sure
Sorry I haven't responded to this yet. Been busy finishing up the college semester.
This was an interesting addition to say the least, but I'm seeing some faults in your writing. First off, I'm seeing some real shortage on details in the writing. There were times I hardly had a sense of actually knowing what they were doing until after the fact, like that apparently Lyra had her hooves all over Octavia. I'm also rather surprised that Octavia didn't really react in any retaliative way either. We're not told why, only that it annoys her, but if it annoys her, shouldn't she be retaliating? Please feel free to expand upon this.
Also, Octavia realizing exactly Roseluck's connection to Lyra seems like a bit of a stretch, there's no time for the reader to consider exactly what was going on, nor is there enough evidence at the time to really pinpoint exactly their connection, what was in the box, etc.
I still very much am enjoying the premise and all, but this needs some work.
1815792 Hmm, I agree, to be honest. My writing has a severe problem in that I don't add enough details. I've tried to get better at it, but it's rather hard to as I often worry if the story is getting boring at all. Then, at other times (as with Octavia spying down upon Lyra and Roseluck) I can't wrap my mind around any possible ways to add more to it, even though I know there should be. It's a problem prevalent in every piece of writing I've ever written, and I think it is my worst fault.
Yet, Octavia hasn't realized a thing; she assumed. Just throwing that out there. I wanted her to have a bit of a Canterlot gossip girl in her, jumping to conclusions and such. I figured that would be a good place to add it in there, but then again with my previous statement, I realize there should have been more. Execution isn't my forte
Eh, I suppose the bright side to it all would bet that I'm not at my peak, and never will be, so I can always get better
Hey hey hey, stay out of my shed!
Though I know this is far from your most popular ongoing story and thus have little incentive to continue anytime soon, I certainly would love to see more of it myself. Though methinks you may need an editor or other writing consultant, as you've acknowledged in the comments a few times.
I'm new to Fimfiction but have lots of experience writing in general, so I could be of service myself. 
Very interesting, indeed! I concur with some of your other commenters: you would benefit greatly from a beta reader / editor. That said, the story itself has great potential. I shall be watching it unfold with interest.
so is this story still alive?

It doesn't appear to be.
