      [February Write-Off Entry] The mane six go on a vacation. Together. But can they stay together?
      9,630 words · 1,314 views · 76 likes · 2 dislikes

    Set some years in the future, Rarity is a mare just on the edge of her prime. She's still alone, but that's not a bad thing - she's had a long and successful career, with many illustrious lovers. But these days she's feeling a bit lonely. Not that she can't find a partner for her bed - her feminine wiles are as sharp as ever. There's just a craving for something more.

    And then Twilight Sparkle pays her old home a visit, with her former assistant tagging along. Spike has grown up a bit, an adolescent in dragon years. And he's got a few things he'd like to confess to Rarity.

    Smoking hot dragon-on-mare sex ensues.

    This is a triumph. I'm making a note here: Huge success.

    Lemons are only good when they're written with class, and this fic has a lot of class. Five stars.

    Um....WOW. This is really good. Though I have to ask, why is Cherrilee and possibly Pinkie Pie dead in this? It's not right.

    I also loved how Rarity reacted not only two spike having two you know whats, but also being able to go on as long as he wants.

    Ever notice that no one uses their real username when commenting on a clopfic no matter the subject or how well it's written.

    That being said, you took a popular shipping pair and whereas most people would have gone straight to the nitty gritty and made a straight forward clopfic, you created something deeper and meaningful. Instead of making the filthiest story imaginable you sir built it up, threw in some light comedy, gave it true emotional pathos, created a breathing world and actually made the reader care about those involved in said relationship. Yes, it has the standard gratuitous sex scene associated with the rating. However, to call it just a clopfic would be an insult to you.

    Side note: Please chop this story up into smaller chapters to avoid scaring future readers away.  

    Peace Out.

    SleeplessBrony you are...just....amazing. The way you write your characters is so unbelievably convincing, the way they convey their feelings is just wonderful. Everything feels right, nothing contrived. Few people can hold my attention enough to read 20k words in one go. Every bit as well written as RR.

    Wow. I don't think I have much to add that hasn't already been said. You are just an incredible writer. Your stories should be published as books or something. Seriously, you should look into it.

    Also, I'm slightly curious as to what happened to the rest of the mane six in this story. I will admit you did a wonderful job of keeping the details of that minor, while still sating the more pressing questions. At the right times too, without it feeling forced. Like, for instance, not explicitly revealing it was Pinkie Pie who died until later. Can we hear anything about them as they are in this universe as far as you've thought them out?

    Again, obviously an excellent job. I don't need to tell you, though, since there are obviously so many others praising you for me.

    Few things:

    1) USE COMMAS IN DIALOG. Too often, I see this:

    "I'm sorry.” She says.

    It should be

    "I'm sorry," she says.

    Remember that if you use a period, the phrase that comes after it will be read like a complete sentence. Same goes for interior monologue. Instead of:

    No, it can't be like that. She thought.

    You would say:

    No, it can't be like that, she thought.

    2) Watch the tense

    She's resting against him now, comfortable in her fresh bed.  She tossed her bathrobe off right away – the whole bed is warm, heat wafting into her from his rising and falling chest.

    This is past tense intermingled with present tense. DON'T DO THAT! :flutterrage:

    Also, it's jarring when you suddenly switched to past tense in the final scene. If you're going to do that, at least make the entire scene last in past tense, instead of switching back to present halfway through.

    3) Clarification

    “Heh...not really.  Twilight asked me once to...”

    He jolts and stammers, rubbing the back of his neck.  Rarity shakes her head, blinking.

    “...What?!”

    “Duh...I mean...jeez, she's gonna kill me.  She made me promise not to tell.”

    Rarity just gawks at him.

    “I guess this is payback for when she told everyone I had a crush on you, huh?”

    Rarity continues to gawk at him.

    “...What?!”

    “It was...it was right after.  You know.”

    Rarity's mouth snaps shut.

    “...oh.” She says.  “Oh my.”

    By putting that first bold line in there, it makes it sound like you've switched subjects and are now talking about Twilight telling everyone about Spike's crush. I did a double-take a few times before I realized Rarity and Spike were still talking about what Twilight asked. When I read the second bold line, I imagined Pinkie Pie inside the mirror, telling Twilight she shouldn't have spilled the beans about Spike. It didn't make much sense.

    4) Ellipses

    This is a personal preference. I used to type my ellipses the way you do now, but many of the reviewers, pre-readers, and more sophisticated writers prefer to put a space after each ellipse. I've adopted that technique myself and find that it works quite well.

    One advantage of adding a space is that if you have a long list of single words broken only by ellipses, the computer will treat this as one word. However, if you place a space after each ellipse, the computer will naturally break them up and "wrap" the line to look much cleaner.

    Then you came and washed away my sadness.

    Heart of my hearts,

    Made up of scale, and bone, and tears.

    Don't go away just come and stay beside me.

    Stay beside me.

    stay beside me.

    Oooooh. I just re-read this after you made the modifications. I had actually forgotten how incredibly powerful this story is. The part with Rarity wearing the gem that Spike gave her was really sweet. And that whole awkward teenager part, after Spike confesses his love, but before the sex... Some parts of that are just so funny. You add a little bit of every element in your stories to make a perfect mix of imagination fuel. Please continue writing, SleeplessBrony, so we may further enjoy the wonderful worlds you think of.

    Okay, a few comments on inconsistencies or other stuff I've noticed (see, I can do more than whine about bad ratings for great stories):

    -"He hugs it to her chest, amusing her."

    From the flashback to "A Dog and Pony Show", this should read "to his chest".

    -"there's no small dangly thing in the back of his throat, for one."

    Granted, this is incredibly nitpicky, but when did he lose that? It's definitely there in the Big No he gives in "A Dog and Pony Show".

    - "She leans her arms and chest on him"

    Arms? Shouldn't that be "forelegs"? I can understand not wanting to sound repetitive, but this still breaks immersion somewhat.

    -"her whole being yawning in anticipation"

    I'm admittedly not a native speaker of English, so this might be a metaphor or figure of speech I haven't encountered, but is "yawning" really the right word here? "Yearning" seems more appropriate to me; "yawning in anticipation" actually sounds like an oxymoron.

    -"She grips his arms tightly with her own, holding her breath."

    Similar problem as above; Rarity doesn't have arms.

    -"Rarity turns her torso, wrapping Spike's neck in her arms and pinning him to her."

    Oh look, that makes it three. :pinkiehappy:

    -A general thing I noticed: with the added reference to the ruby from "Secret of My Excess", why is there no mention of Spike's first attempt at declaring his feelings to Rarity? Though that is easily justified, seeing as how long ago that was from Rarity's perspective.

    Those issues are incredibly minor, though. This story manages to keep in-character while exploring themes the show, by its very nature, can't deal with. It manages to be touching (the Cheerilee pendant, Rarity's problems with aging, and especially the scene with the sapphire), funny ("You have TWO?" and "Eggs?!" come to mind :rainbowlaugh:) and, yes, incredibly arousing, but it's miles away from "just another clopfic". Kudos, SleeplessBrony, and as some others have already said: Sequel? Pretty please? I for one would love to see, say, Silky Smooth or anyone from "the List" try to get close to Rarity again *ahem* and then realize who she's dating now. :pinkiegasp:

    One final note on Rarity's feelings as they're described here: I got the impression, both from her not being that scared and from the quality of the lovemaking, that she actually loves Spike without realizing it (or at least without admitting it to herself) - and that this is actually the first time this has happened to her, or it has been a long time since she felt something like that. The last line cements that impression for me. If that was intentional, even more kudos - and if not, no two people will read a story the same way, especially one dealing with emotions like these.

    In short: Thank you.

    To call this porn, clopfic, or perverted would insult you. This was genius! Me and my girlfriend loved it! (don't judge me for reading this with my girlfriend) Its not just the author saying lets make this sex as filthy as possible you said lets not do a sex scene lets do a love making scene. Sex is meaningless without love and you brought the love and if you would make a sequel that would be amazing! :heart: :twilightsmile:

    >>96108 No, you didn't miss anything. The mention of Cheerilee is in there (if you allow me to speculate) to establish a link between this fic and Romance Reports, and to add a little background texture.

    Reply 

    >>96200 Hmm . . .  Now I debate whether to ask Brony to make a new story on that. My problem is, there wasn't any real details as to what might've happened. So I can guess at two real possibilities there, she either died somehow, most likely in some accident or another, or they broke up, and it was kinda nasty. Given Brony's M.O [Motive and Opportunity] I'd stake a wager he could build a story in which that break up was coming and expecting, to us at least. But I'm not sure if I'd want to read a story with Cheerile dieing, but I would end up reading anyway, juts I ended up reading Friendship is Tragic. That story ruined my whole day, made me all sad and stuff :pinkiesad2: BUt it was VERY well writen, almost as good as Brony's stories here. It was a lot on the dark-side of things, I'm going to go ahead and stop there, before I spoil anything to someone who hasn't read that yet. Which, they should, even despite it's dark nature, it really was worth the read.

    #59 · 72w, 23h ago · · ·
    Reply 

    >>96568 My guess would be she's dead. Rarity and Spike's behavior points to someone who's dead, not someone who just up and left - they're sad, not angry (and why would Spike miss someone who hurt Twilight?). In particular, Rarity's line about "we all miss her, she was lovely" (not a direct quote, it's in the restaurant scene) points that way. As to why - well, this IS several decades in the future from Romance Reports. People (and ponies) die.

    But I agree, the time period between Romance Reports and Like Fine Wine would make for some interesting story opportunities, particularly considering how Spike describes his post as Twilight's partner. More "Adventure" than "Romance", but certainly worthwhile if it matches the quality standards set by Sleepless' other works.

    #60 · 72w, 32m ago · · ·
    Reply 

    >>96767Amen to that. And yes, I'd have to agree with you on the fact she's dead. I do hope Sleepless fills in the blanks with more badassness. Regardless of the tags, I'd read it if it's from him. I stay away from stories tagged Dark ever since I read Friendship is Tragic, awesome story, very well written, but, well, refer to my previous comment about that. But if Sleepless did it, I'd bunker down, and trudge on through the trenches to read it.

    This fic nearly gave me a coronary.

    I... Have a hard time forming words. No not even words. Opinions.

    I'm not sure if I liked it.

    I know I found it completely uncloppable.

    No. It wasn't bad, it's just so far beyond anything I was expecting or have experience with. Not just the clop, the entire story.

    All I can say is I felt sad, then bittersweet, than warm, then freaked the fuck out, then REALLY freaked the fuck out, then sad again, then mildly aroused, then freaked the fuck out again, then completely horrified, then just I don't even know what to call it... Then I was sad it was over.

    I mean this went from one of the saddest fics I have ever read, to sweet, romantic shipping, to terror fetish (I did not realize this existed. I understood what it was immediately, but you showed me something completely beyond my experience, which I did not realize was even possible.), to extreme penetration, to brutal extreme double penetration, to total after coitus freak out (which I was theoretically familiar with, just not expecting AT ALL).

    I think I actually hated a lot about this fic, not in a "feels bad" way but in a "that's not my fetish" and "this story makes me bawww" way; but wow, what an intense experience.

    Upon re-reading this (I make a point of doing that at least once a week, if only to remind myself of what standards writing in this fandom can and should aspire to), I noticed a strange simile: At one point, Spike's teeth are described as "big as steak knives". Since this story is told from Rarity's point of view, I have a question: how would a herbivore know that simile?

    Just beautiful. This was the first pony fan fic I ever read, and I admit, I was drawn in because of the clopfic premise. This is so much more, though. You perfectly captured each character's personality, especially Rarity. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish!

    >>77107 The correct name for a horse's front legs is "arms." Which reminds me of my own fanfic anatomy nitpick: it's not a snout, it's a muzzle, damnit.

    Nitpicking aside, "Romance Reports" was one of the first fanfics I ever read, and it made me realize that fanfics could (and should) live up to the standard of quality of any other form of fiction writing. Any of Sleepless' stuff is better than a lot of books I've read, and I love every word of it. Except snout.

    >>158231 Okay, that's interesting, didn't know that. But my point still stands - if I didn't know that horses' forelegs are called "arms", a lot of other people won't know that either (and I've seen quite a few complaints of this kind on other fanfics). Then again, as I said, this is a minor quibble - similar to your snout/muzzle dilemma, and that one would be even more complicated to resolve in this fic, since you can legitimately use "snout" in Spike's case. :applejackunsure:

    Starting to read it...

    This is a clopfic... why so much story ?

    Hmm.. this definitely reminds me of something. . .

    Why is Twilight wearing that pendant ?

    Meanwhile, finishing reading it.

    I see the author again... Wait a minute... he wrote Romance Reports !

    That necklace Twilight was wearing...  She loved Cheerille. She really did. That WAS love.

    Great fic ! I wish my writing was as good as yours. Just amazing !

    Okay, nitpick alert again:

    "He collapses onto her, and now she really can't breath."

    That, unless I'm mistaken (and I'm never mistaken - your Princess Bride quote for the day :pinkiehappy: ), should be "breathe", as in the verb.

    Amazingly well done I must say. The best clop fic I've come across. Though I'm curious about why Pinky Pie and the other pony (forgot her name) are dead. I think you should do a follow up fanfic. Like this with more character development between Spike and Rarity. And the idea that Spike won't get any bigger because he's a rare type/breed of dragon and he was hatched with magic.

    All in all 5 Stars!!!

    >>229242 I've noticed that, too. And the "breath/breathe" thing actually appears at least twice in this fic, from what I can tell. It is an easy mistake to make.

    AWWWW~!!!! That was the sweetest, most romantic story involving death and vomit that I've ever read! I hope you continue tis; I'd LOVE to see Twilight's reaction... Or if Celestia finds out~

    On the critical perspective, I notice you used "breath" instead of "breathe" at least three times:

    she can't even breath

    remembering to breath

    she really can't breath

    See, this, and Romance Reports, are both shining examples of how a story containing "adult" themes should by no means be thought less of than others, or judged differently.  You don't have to skirt certain subjects to write a beautiful story.

    I normally avoid clopfics like the plague but it seems I've read every single Spike <3 Rarity (my favorite topic) story so I've begun to delve into the mature content here that relates to them.  I must say with most other clopfics I skip ALL of the sexual parts because they seem either unrealistic, or just too focused on the actual act and not the personalities of the ponies that are performing it.  I must say however that this is the first that I've read that actually has an actual story to it (trying to refrain from using the word "plot" ) and not just some FiM characters fucking constantly for stupid reasons.  Another spectacular thing about this particular fic is that I actually read the part that deals with their lovemaking.  I did skip that part on the first passthrough but after reading the spectacular non-sexual parts, I decided that I owed you at least a full readthrough, sex and all.  My first impressions on the actual scene was "Oh here we go again," but that thought quickly faded as I found that you actually added more to the sex than just insert penis here, ram hard, jizz and I again applaud you for that in itself.  This single piece alone has renewed my hope for the "Mature" content about FiM and I have decided to permanently check that little box so that I may hopefully find more Spike <3 Rarity fics that are even 1/2 as detailed and well written as yours.

    PS If you make more about these two I will definitely read them :twilightsmile:

    This story was very impressive, it had a strong plot and a good speed so as to not seem forced. I'm a fan of clopfics but I really hate when they're obnoxiously written and to quote the first commenter "this fic has class." This fiction shows a lot of talent, time taken in detail, and a level of maturity rarely seen on this type of fiction. I'd have to give it 5 stars if I were to be giving an honest opinion. I rarely see any Spike/Rarity stories worth reading, so if you make any more I will gladly follow them. Keep it up. :raritystarry:

    I wonder where my comment went. Good thing I saved it. I guess the "truth" is easier to take when they all agree with you.

    "Yeah, making Rarity a cock sock was such a good idea. We know that she holds herself in a very high regard, so it makes sense that she throws herself at every stallion possible before the fic happened. We know that she strides for the best (and likes Canterlot) so it makes sense that she's a slut with names in a black book. And her being afraid of Spike? Genius. Never mind the fact that she kicked a manticore in the face without so much as a blink of hesitation, and wasn't even a little bit scared of the red dragon in that Fluttershy episode. It was completely in character. And Spike has wings apparently. And Pinkie Pie and Cheerily are dead. That was smart. And having several thousands words devoted to her talking in circles and having being described what a dick inside her feels like. Because I didn't get it the few dozen times before it.

    Seriously, that fic was written by the MLP version of Tom Preston with the subtleties of a CAD comic. You're all stupid."

    To the Author: I approve of this story. I have to admit, this story is probably what put me firmly in the Older Spike/Rarity camp for couplings. I know that, personally, I would be interested in more from this setting. Not just Spike/Rarity, but some of the history they spoke of. It also made me feel classy, yet naughty. Good job. :moustache:

    >>462279

    On that, we will disagree. It's fine for a lady like Rarity to have delved into her more carnal nature. It's a case of accepting her own sexuality. It never really says how many lovers were taken, but this is over the course of, I would assume, to be 15 or more years. That is a -long- time to build up one's "little black book". Also, I don't get why if a lady does this sort of behavior, she's a "slut", but if a MAN does this, he's a "player" or a "pimp" or simply just "ladykiller"/"ladies man". Why is it good for the man, yet bad for the woman? :trixieshiftright:

    You could have also mentioned Rarity dealing with the full grown dragon in episode 6, however, there is a similarity in that case AND the that of the manticore. When Rarity got roared at from point blank range, she got the hell out of dodge. She isn't fearless. And she doesn't have to be. :duck::heart::moustache:

    Thank you for the insult at the end of your comment, too. Quite high brow. :trixieshiftleft: Please, feel free to critique the story, but I think it'd be best if you refrained from taking shots at the other readers, especially because they enjoyed a story that you didn't. :eeyup:

    Fine then, here's a better critique:

    Brevity.

    Many writers tend to write too much, or the wrong things. The reader doesn't want to plow through endless dialogue, description, etc. that you think is fascinating, just to get to whatever contributes to the story. Keep it brief. This doesn't mean no description etc., just keep it to a reasonable amount, and keep it relevant. For instance, we really don't need a detailed description of what every character is wearing.

    On the other hand, many other writers are too brief, with a story that moves way too fast, with no atmosphere, no description of setting or emotion or appearance, often without bothering to mention where the action is taking place. There's a happy medium.

    In general, every sentence, every word, should serve a purpose. It may advance the plot, develop a character, set a scene. If it's there to be amusing, be damn sure it really is amusing. Don't repeat things endlessly. We only need to see one or two scenes with the characters expressing their deepest feelings, not twenty. Don't have repeated scenes of characters discussing unimportant things, apparently just to pad out the story. It gets boring, very fast. At the same time, take the time to slow down and explore what the characters are feeling once in a while, and what they're seeing, hearing, and doing, as long as it says something relevant and new about the character or the situation. What you write should be enough to make the reader 'see' what's happening in the story, not enough to slow things down.

    And I keep forgetting that this takes place after Romance Reports, which is why every character is stupid and broken.

    Also, I don't get why if a lady does this sort of behavior, she's a "slut", but if a MAN does this, he's a "player" or a "pimp" or simply just "ladykiller"/"ladies man".

    No, that's called a man-whore. And who said it was okay? The stereotype comes from the fact than the man usually has to convince the woman to have sex, and all the woman has to do is agree or not. Buy it's still not okay. When did I say it was?

    You my good sir, have reduced me almost to tears. After finishing the Romance Reports its very hard to comprehend that Cheerilee died. And after making her so unbelievably believable (as redundant as that is) and just ending it made me almost die a little on the inside. I haven't even finished one third of it and i just cant decide if i want to finish this. I feel like I've missed so many important things that occurred between the original ending and now. I hope that maybe later you can do some short stories and such about some of these amazing adventures Twilight went on and go more into the subject of Cheerilee's death and everypony's reaction after. But as always, very compelling writing and the characters are so far, as believable as always.

    I'm not ashamed to admit that this is my first ever clopfic. I've skimmed the like and they've all been garbage...with some exeptions that had good lead up stories... this however...this was romance...TRUE ROMANCE...That's hard to find even in human fiction.

    In a way it was my "first" :rainbowlaugh: as far these types of fics go.

    I don't clop...but I feel romance when I find it.  This is a prime example.
