As the years drew on, Spike's childish heart grew into that of a true adult, longing for the finer things in life; the finest things. He pursues his relationship with Rarity, but all does not go as planned.

Filled with anger and sorrow, Spike and Rarity fall away from one another. In his grief, Spike pursues new interests, and their friendship is in danger of never recovering.

But perhaps the truest words in life are these: you do not know what you had until you have lost it. Jealous and alone, finding no comfort in stallions she once loved, can Rarity reclaim her one chance at true love, before it is too late?

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

A HUGE shoutout to Love at Sundown by trahzo. That fic gave me the idea of writing a Spike x Sunset fic.

Heartbroken after a rejection from Rarity Spike find love where he least expects it. He also learns some thing about himself he never thought he believed could be true.

This is my first story ever. I was going to release another story but I have yet to finish it I kept getting side tracked. This story really was what I kept getting side tracked with. I will release more if this does well.

Special Thanks to Bennet001 for Editing for me. Cover art borrowed from spending to many hours searching google.

Spike is now a teenage dragon, and his love for certain white unicorn is stronger than ever, while she's not completely aware of her feelings, and has to fight to keep her little sister in line before a new disaster explodes. Although generosity may help keeping greed away, could also become a two-edged sword, and Twilight is worried about Ponyville being destroyed again as it happened three years ago.

This story is a sequel to Love's a Drag-on

It was a love story that seemed meant to never be. Two young dragons in love, torn apart by their differences. That was ten years ago. Now in their teens, the two dragons may yet again be entwined by the threads of fate. Only this time, under more dire circumstances, for dark forces linger in the depths of the Dragonlands, and they have their sights set on Equestria...

A chance meeting with a cute young dragoness puts Spike on top of the world. However, it quickly becomes clear he may be forced to chose between his pony friends or the girl who captured his heart.

This story is a sequel to Disparity

Last night the impossible happened: Spike asked Rarity to be his special somepony for Hearts and Hooves Day, and she accepted. So what if it took a magic disaster to seal the deal? The most romantic day of the year, and Spike’s life, is about to begin. He’s dreamed of this one chance to win Rarity’s heart for years, and nothing is going to stand in his way; not even Rarity’s strange emotional jumps between happiness and panic.

Although this is technically a sequel, reading Disparity isn't necessary to enjoy what follows.

A potted plant, and a small dragon. That’s a safe list of subjects for a new type of emotion-based spell, right? Thanks to Rarity’s sudden appearance, Twilight will never know. Something sure happened though: Spike’s can’t stop reading, Rarity’s obsessed with him, and Twilight might not be able to stay awake long enough to make everything right.
