As Spike grew up, he left Ponyville and everything behind 1300 years ago. Now he's lonely, bitter and considering to end his own misery. But then, ponies who he hadn't seen for a thousand years come to his territory. He found hope, and a will to endure.
NOTE: I deleted my other Endurance story so I could make the name of this story shorter.
Ok, I'll admit that I'm a sucker for stories with grown-up Spike, and you're doing a great job with this one. It's got a reasonable pace, and you've done a good job of laying out a plausible future for our favorite Equestrian scaled inhabitant. Way to go! 
I did notice one typo here, though.
‘You know, I could arrange so that you could visit Ponyville for maybe a week or so.’ Luna said as she nuzzled her head towards his massive head. Spike was in chock. After all these years in solitude, he would be able to come back to the place he wanted to be.
I'm pretty sure that you meant for that to be shock.
Very moving story...It's kind of odd because I was just thinking about how Spike would outlive the Main 6 because he was a dragon...then I saw this after you commented on Memories, and I must say that you hit the nail on the head.
You are a fantastic writer. Any grammatical and spelling mistakes I saw were very minor. Once again you did a great job, you keep the reader's attention, and you have a knack for making the reader feel the emotions of the story.
I'm favoriting this and I'll be sure to watch your account for new fics.
I write whatever comes to mind and for the emotions, I think of how I would react and I write my own reactions for that particular part of the story.
And I have been thinking for the subject of ''Spike will outlive them, how wil he react?'' for quite a while before I wrote this fic. I sometimes jotted down a few ideas and brought them together for the chapters in Endurance.
Oh, and an epilogue will come for this story eventually.
Wow, you did an excellent job wrapping up the story. I was expecting a pretty moving conclusion to the story, but this one was pretty much maximum overdrive all the way. Taking Spike out with a previously unknown dragon disease was something I did not expect, but it also isn't out of bounds, given how little ponies actually know about dragons beyond some pretty basic material. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us, and I'll be looking forward to your next literary exploit. 
Simply amazing ending to a fantastic fic...Bitter sweet, but I think that is the only way this could have ended fittingly.
Along with that, your wisdom at the end is so very true...it's a hard lesson to learn, and one that I hope most never have to learn the hard way.
Just to finish...I think you, as a writer, have an amazing ability to connect with your readers. You are able to instill just the right blend of emotion into the reader. And you aren't pushing them toward a certain emotion, but instead you leave it up to them what they feel. No matter what though your writing will make them feel something. Hats off to you.
oh my god, a perfect ending to a perfect story. i cried when spike was reunited with twilight after over 2000 years, it was so beautiful. it is stories like these with all of the feels that inspire me to write, i may have not posted anything yet but i got a lot of em on my computer. thank you for making this. just thank you
