Neon Lights has always sort of preferred being independent. He never dreamed of being in the spotlight, but he always figured that himself and Vinyl Scratch would be best buds for life, as they had been ever since they were foals together. And Octavia, her roommate-cum-marefriend-cum-indefinite fiancee, could even come along for the ride if she wanted to.

But life and record labels wore away what time they could share, and eventually, they drifted away. Until a few nights ago, when Neon and Vinyl called each other for the first time in years. And just as Neon was about to ask if he could come to visit, Vinyl asked him if he would like to be a part of their life in the most intimate way.

Neon was... A little bit shocked.

Whew, I started this one back in early April, and finally finished it sooner or later. See, I can get a fic out every three months! Quality over quantity, my friends, we can't all be Regidar! I still luv u Reggie and you've slowed down anyways and stuff

This thing is long, so I had to get more than one person to tackle it, and thankfully, I have a bajillion awesome friends who did just that. Thanks especially to the following folks: my Auntie Cola, my Cousin Space, and my super-thorough other editor IRpony. You guys are the reason this thing took so long to get out and quite frankly, it was for the better, because I did a lot of stupid stuff before ya'll pointed out what was stupid.

Cover art was commissioned from the lovely HarmoniousRain, because her art is lovely, there is no Neon/Vinyl/Octavia art anywhere that was fitting, and I have/had money to spend. Plus, it's so cute!

Have fun.
