Nyt Ryder is a loyal Lunar Guard.
Bold, strong, stubborn, and pitch black. Never been able to fit in with his family of 'Bright Lighters', term given to zealous ponies that believed that the Moon was evil and the sun was sacred.
Now, he has apparently caught the eye of the one he's supposed to protect but how can he not let his newly developing feelings affect his sworn duty to the monarch.

Spike loses a bet to Snips and Snails. The consequence? Ask Scootaloo out on a date. But what starts off as a frivolous punishment for the baby dragon ends up becoming much more rewarding than he ever expected.

[Currently attempting a revival of this story after five years. I'd like to issue a personal apology for taking so bloody long.]

Spike has been in love with Rarity since they first met, so when a young filly reveals her feelings for him at the worst possible time, he ends up caught in the middle of a feud that is liable to tear a family apart. If only he could understand his own heart.
