Retired Special Agent Sweetie Drops has been living in Ponyville as Bon Bon for just over ten years now, and aside from the occasional monster attack or magical mishap, life has been peaceful. She's happily married and has a successful career running a candy shop. Something has been preventing her from properly appreciating the quiet life, however, and that thing's name is Vinyl Scratch. Countless hours of surveillance has convinced Bon Bon of one fact, and it's that whatever Vinyl Scratch is, it's not a pony. Today is the day she gets to the bottom of the mystery that has haunted for her so long: What exactly is Vinyl Scratch, and what does she want with Octavia Melody?

Sonata attempts to blend in, back in the pony world, by solving a friendship problem.

Written for TheOneAJ for Jinglemas 2022.

Sombra, or whatever it is the Crystal Heart left behind, has ventured forth and conquered his new domain behind the till at a McTrotnald's joint in Manehattan. As he seeks to consolidate and expand his newfound kingdom he quickly finds a host of potential new subjects to subjugate befriend. If only they weren't mostly mafia, bat gangs, changeling yakuza and bicycle ponies complete wackos after his hot sexy plot power and might....

Coco Pommel, a decent definitely-not-thestral, lives a decent life, works a decent job, earns a decent living. She is certain the fashion house she works for, Mane Event, is going places, even if it's currently stuck on the second floor above a McTrotnald's joint. She is oblivious to the fact that she is the much-coveted object of adoration of many stallions. She is oblivious to many things. But she finds it hard to be oblivious to the ruckus that comes from that fast food restaurant downstairs, harder still to resist getting dragged in...

Neither expected to ever end up stuck together, at least not this way. But as they quickly learn, there's no living on expectations in the poor but lively Manehattan slums of the Four Hooves District. Together with the band of misfits and social outcasts that make up their lives they must go out and seize it - their Midnight Empire.

Contains the following strong themes underneath: struggling against oppression, discrimination and biggotry, poverty and desperation,. This is a story of unity in diversity, of love and friendship that transcends differences, and the pursuit of freedom.

Written to the tune of The Manehattan Smile by Matthew Mosier which I think nicely captures the feel of this story.

Spike decides he wants some spending money, so he gets a job as an assistant to the local DJ, Vinyl Scratch.

What starts off as a part-time 'errand boy' job, quickly evolves into a close friendship, and may become something more in time. Apparently, they have more in common than they ever would have thought.

On a night of a orchestra concert, Octavia plays her song...the song of Entropy.

My first Mlp grimdark that was inspired by a song from the Nes Godzilla Creepypasta soundtrack and watching our lady Scribbler's Vampiolence and stuff like that as well as Lost Narrator's, Octavia's Melody. Link: https://youtu.be/9te_4rSOiQw.

This is probably nothing special and was just a random idea I came up with while bored in a truck and listening to creepy music. When you listen to music, your imagination and story ideas run wild, lol. Though it would be cool, I honestly doubt Scribbler or Lost will read it, but you never know. Regardless, hope you enjoy the story.

Octavia stumbles into another, mysterious reality during a visit to Twilight's castle. With no apparent way home, she seeks a way to return, but perhaps the music called her for a greater purpose.

What would you say if I told you about a girl who was in high school. One day, she gets a package. Not a normal package. Inside this package is a box of candies. So, she decides to eat some of them. One minute, she's happily enjoying the treats, and the next she's been turned into a mint green unicorn with a green and white mane and tail. All she wants to do is get back to normal. Don't believe me? Believe it. Cause that's what happened to me.

This is an unofficial sequel to the ORIGINAL version of Overture

Thunderlane awakes to find Octiava gone. He hurries out and tries to find her.

At the same time, Octavia sits at home, thinking about the previous night and wondering if she had made a mistake, leaving Thunderlane without saying anything.

Should she have stayed with Thunderlane until he woke? Should she have given him her address? Will she ever see him again? Will he come to her concert, or had she given up her one chance at love?
