After a long day of work, Spike shares an intimate moment with Rarity that sparks a budding relationship. Together, the two recover from tragedy and move toward an uncertain future and inevitable conclusion.

A short romance set several years after the conclusion of the series.

A young mare who has lived her whole life in a world of chaos and hatred. She struggles trying to fit in a world where her opinions are not welcome. One fateful day, after a terrible accident that changed her life, she realises that she is right... and the whole world is the wrong one. So it is time to build a new one.

Following the events of "Secrets of my Excess" Rarity joins Twilight Sparkle and the Royal Sisters for brunch, hoping to gain advice on dealing with a certain young dragon and the feelings she keeps hidden.

Rainbow Dash means the world to Scootaloo, who wants nothing more than to spend every day with her surrogate sister, learning from the best and being awesome together. Yet all that is about to end, possibly forever, and Scootaloo knows there's nothing she can do about it.

The only thing left to do is say goodbye... but that's proving far harder than she ever imagined.

This story is a sequel to A Little Push

He never seems to fit in. Some of them are dynamic and active, he is passive. Some of them are driven, he is lethargic. Some of them talk, he simply listens. Yet nopony doubts that he is a true friend.

Turquoise Blitz and Prism Bolt have a relationship, to the eyes of most ponies, roughly equivalent to what their mothers had. All it takes is one incident in their youth to form a bond with no words, no promises and total understanding.

And, as is often the case, the strongest bonds are christened in blood.

This is my entry to Kilala97's Fun Fact Fanfic Contest.

Spike has loved the beautiful and graceful Rarity with all of his young dragon heart from the moment he had first laid eyes on her. The problem was that Rarity barely noticed him. One day he decides to make his intentions known to her, only to find that she has her eye set on the handsome Baron Summersday and his quest may have already come to an end.

Meanwhile, Rarity — after the disastrous event of the Grand Galloping Gala — has been in contact with a stallion named Baron Summersday via mail, as the finale of the Gala prevented him from meeting her in person. After several missives between themselves, he invites her to his mansion for the weekend as an honored guest. Rarity sees this as the possibility of her dream of finding the one for her finally becoming a reality.

But is this really a dream, or a nightmare instead?

Twilight has the power to change the biological structure of anypony, or anydragon into something else. And, after seeing Rarity fall over other stallions, Spike the dragon wants Twilight to change him into a pony so that he could finally have a chance to be with the mare of his dreams. She gives in and casts a spell on Spike, turning him into a pony. However, this spell is temporary, unless Spike gets his cutie mark within three days.

But becoming a pony for the sake of Rarity comes at a price; Twilight Sparkle will lose her one and only number one assistant, something that is dear to both her and Spike.

Crystal Clarity, a pony. Not like any other pony, but a dragon-pony hybrid. She has lived most of her life being teased for being "different" than the others. But, when she discovers a group of friends and one special somepony, her life will change.

(Kudos and thanks to kilala97 of DeviantART for the idea and allowed use of Clarity and Illusion. You go girl! She has also made a FiMFiction Account, "kilala". You should follow her. She's the only one I'm following.)

Madame Pinkie invites you to hear tales that will chill you're spine and boil you're blood. It's a wacky, perverse, and slightly fractured retelling of classic horror stories told by Madame Pinkie herself. Along with a colorful cast of Ponyville players, stories will come to life in absurd, and often meta-inducing, ways.

And maybe Spike's in there too.

Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Sonata, Adagio, and Aria have all figured out what they want to do in life. They have found love, are going to college, everyday things like that. But Sunset Shimmer hasn't. Not yet.

Okay, so I just watched the music video for Friendship Through The Ages, and I wanted to write this story. I thought the song was bittersweet, but offered a good take on their futures. It has some of all the categories (comedy, romance, a bit of sad), but not enough to use the tags. So...yeah.
