Fix You
A faint sound of scribbling on paper came from a dark corner of a lonely crystal room, in a lonely crystal castle. In the dark corner laid a young drake, a drake who was drowning his sorrows through the written word. It was his way of venting frustration for his dearest Rarity.
"Rarity..."
The scribbling of paper dulled to a stop, and a mournful whimper escaped Spike's mouth. After a moment of sniffling and pondering on what to write next, he continued to grace the paper with his quill.
I love you Rarity, so much so that it burns me that you don't return my feelings. I do everything in my power to please you; help you with your errands, your chores, and whatever else you need to make you feel content. Yet you give me no gratitude, other than a teasing peck on the cheek from time to time. I feel like I'm stuck in an endless limbo, a limbo filled with work and no reward...
Spike let a drawn out sigh escape his lips.
How many of these have I written now? It feels like forever ago that I have been writing to myself as a conduit for my anguish. It's not like I can tell any of my close friends or family about my pain. They never seem to understand the agony I am tormented with everyday; Always playing my liking for Rarity as some insignificant crush.
To Spike, it is more than just a crush. It is love, love that is blocked by a barrier, the barrier Rarity and her friends use to block out his feelings. Even his so called sister, Twilight, is guilty of using that very same blockade.
Of all the ponies who should understand me, Twilight is the one you would think understands me the most. No, it turns out it is quite the opposite, she disapproves of it more than anypony else. Always telling me it’s just a silly childhood crush, or that I need to move on to more important things.
Twilight was too overbearing to Spike, but Spike loves her. That’s why it hurts the most hearing this from her.
The noise of the quill on paper dulled to a stop, replaced by the sound of sobs. Tears were streaming down Spike's face, turning his eyes a darkish pink.
Spike whispered to himself, "Why does nopony understand, Why am I always being pushed around, and why can't I escape this growing pain inside me?"
Spike slammed his fist against the floor next to him, making a echoing sound throughout the room. Suddenly, a knock came from his room's door, startling him back to reality. A tired feminine voice came from the other side of the imposing crystal door.
The voice asked, "Spike, you alright? I heard a loud bang and sobs coming from in there."
A moment of agonizing silence came after Twilight’s question; Spike had no idea what to say, he was cornered like a wolf's prey in the heat of the hunt. The door clicked open before Spike could protest her entering his room.. Peeking her head through the doorway, Twilight was startled by what she saw before her. In front of her was a red eyed little dragon, who was surrounded by scraps of paper, and a singular candle.
Twilight cried out his name, galloping over to him, not wavering even the slightest.
"Go away... please." A sniffle escaped his lips as he said that.
Twilight stopped in her tracks. "Spike..." She said in a low tone.
She looked at the papers scattered about, and wondered what they were there for. Levitating them to her, she took a moment to scan them over, her horn growing dimmer and dimmer the more she went through them. A couple of tears slipped past her eyes, and fell to the cold crystal floor below.
Dropping the papers, she approached Spike, and gave him a tight, warm, and loving hug.
"Spike..." She repeated herself. "I do care. I care for you so much, like any good sister should... Why didn’t you tell me this was eating you up so much inside, I would have listened, I would have helped you, I wou-"
She stopped to hug him even tighter, Spike hugged her back with just as much care.
Spike poured out with pain in his voice, "You just never seemed to understand, none of you did. You always pushed it aside like it meant nothing to me… I had no one who I could really talk to, I just wanted a shoulder to vent my sorrow onto..."
"Spike..." Twilight began. "About Rarity. Yes, she doesn’t share your feelings, but there are a couple reasons why. One reason being that you're still just a kid. A very polite and mature kid, but a kid all the same. Rarity, she's a full grown mare. Spike you got to understand the obscenity of this situation."
Spike pulled away from her hug. "But... I love her. Why must it be this way? It's just not fair."
Twilight pulled herself to him again, letting him cry onto her shoulder. "I know, I know. Life is unfair sometimes, but trust me when I say this Spike. You will find someone who you can love, and they will love you just as much back, I Pinkie promise.
Twilight let go of her grasp around the drake, and did the motions of the Pinkie promise.
Spike was wide eyed, unsure of what to think. “I-I… I guess... I guess that makes some sense... but it just hurts so much..."
Twilight embraced him again and said, “Yes, I know it does, but I’ll be here for you Spike, always.”
“Thank you… I love you, Twilight.”
“I love you too. I think it’s about time we got some shut eye. It's been a long day, hasn’t it?"
Spike replied, "yeah…”
Twilight let go of her embrace around him, and began to trot to the door, waving her hoof goodbye.
"Twilight! wait..." Spiked stopped her in her tracks. " If you don’t mind… could you stay here with me for the night, I would appreciate it greatly.”
Twilight then shut the partially open crystal door and replied to him, “Of course I can, Spike.”
She trotted her way to his bed, and climbed into it, leaving a space open for spike to lie. Spike accepted the offer, and climbed in next to her. They cuddled up next to each other, sharing a tender moment together.
“Goodnight Spike, love you.”
“Goodnight Twilight, love you too.”
With that, the candle in the room went out, and the two soon found peace in the Sandmare's spell, their bodies warmth seeping into each other as they slept together.

Beutifull.
6430232 why, thank you kind sir.
Not a fan of Twilight and Spike being siblings... but your story is so powerful.
6430943 Thank you very much, I've always got the siblings vibe myself, but that is just how I see it.
Eeeyup, this story deserves a like :)
I for one often end up feeling a little sorry for Spike, unrequited crushes, infatuations and loves are no fun at all.
6431176 Thank you kind, sir. I've always found the pairing of Rarity and Spike to be a conundrum as well, but for other reasons. Reasons like Spike's crush on Rarity is like a students crush on their teacher, sure it's cute, a bit creepy, but still kinda cute. It's when it goes beyond a simple crush that it gets on the really creepy side; anything other than a peck on the cheek just trends into dangerous waters.
It is still shipping, so if you like the ship more power to you, that is the fun of shipping after all.

Agreed there, Spikes crush is that of a child (and here's the bit where I sound really, really old...), and I recall just how real it felt when I was a child too. Just didn't know any better back then.
As for them shipping... I dunno, apart from that bit at the end of 'Secret of My Excess' where Rarity stops Spike from confessing as they plummet groundward, she seems largely oblivious to his feelings, treating him fondly and tenderly, but with no romantic intent.
And poor Spike, I figure he'll eventually just get over it and meet somepony/dragon else.
There's an idea for a fic, Spike's in a serious relationship, Rarity has settled with her special Stallion, and the two meet up to reminisce and share stories over a drink and have a jolly laugh over it all...
6431382 That actually sounds like a nice little slice of life story, you could totally go somewhere with that little idea. I'll read it; that's for sure.
well written,

And that sums up my feelings for Sparity.
6431898 Got the inspiration for the story from the discussions I had on Sparity. I felt like I could make a nice little one-shot with the ideas I conjured up in the discussions, so thus, this was born.
I don't care what people ship, more power to them, I just never really understood the whole Sparity thing. That is the joy of shipping though, you can do whatever you want with it.
Spike isn't really a kid, in my opinion. Let's say that Twilight hatched him at the age of five or six, and that she's maybe 22 or so. That would mean Spike would be 17 years old.
Of course, we have no absolute evidence of their ages.
6432186 He acts like a kid, and is portrayed as a kid in the show. On top of that, when you're hatched from an egg, I'm pretty sure that means you were just brought to life as in not even a year old. Well, unless this is an Inheritance Cycle egg...
Of course as I said many times before, whatever floats your boat, ship as much as your little pony hearts desire. I'm certaintly not stopping you.
P.S it is true we don't know the definitive age of the cast of ponies, but that just means they're more malleable in fanfiction.
6432260 I meant Twilight hatched him when she was five or six.
6432453 Sorry, misread what you said...
6432453 Actually, Spike is 10, because Twilight hatched him around 8.
I worked this out a while back based on various context clues. AJ says she was "littler" than the cmc when she got her mark, so we can infer she was slightly younger, but not by much.
We see Rarity at Sweetie's fifth birthday party the same size as present day, but Sweetie herself is teeny tiny. This implies Rarity has hit her max height by then, but Sweetie has some major growth coming. I put Rarity at 13-14 at the party, making her 18-19 now, thus making Sweetie Belle, who is a late bloomer, around 10
Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie. She is also the largest of the six at the time of cutie mark aquisition. She's already hitting her growth spurt.
Twilight fears "going back to magic kindergarten. This implies she was in it at least for a time, long enough to hate it. Most children start school around 5-6, so being in kindergarten for 2-3 years is long enough to hate it. This makes Twilight around 8 as well.
tldr: Spike is around 10.
6432186 That's exactly what I think when I see Spike.Fans would not be having these problems if Hasbro or THX gave us their ages.Or at the very least Twilight's age.From there, It's not much of a stretch to guess the casts' ages.
6432453 Side note, you don't want to do the math to guess the age of a pony to human years.
6432702 Umm...don't you mean Rarity is 18-19 and Sweetie Belle is 13-14.
Hi im kinda new and this is the first story i read it was an amazing story
6432929 Thank you very much.
Welcome to the site, it's fantastic to have you here.
Thanks
6432835 Well, I did say the mane six are ranged in age, but as for Rarity, I think she's around 18-19, and Sweetie I peg at around 10-11 by now. I think there is roughly an 8 year gap between them. The CMC all seem a little old to not have cutiemarks, but still in the tween range.
It's nice to see a diSparity fic. My main problem with Sparity is that the two are incredibly vain; Rarity is the most superficial pony in Ponyville, and Spike is only attracted to her on a physical level. There's nothing there. If a writer can establish more elements to their relationship, I might change my mind. Until that happens, though, I disapprove of this ship. Good fic, not-so-great grammar. Also, I get the impression you're using phrases you've heard but never seen written before, such as "once and awhile". It's more obvious in your comments than the fic, though, so don't worry about it too much. I'm not trying to be rude or insult you, only improve the reading experience, as it is distracting to see errors. Spend some more time editing, or have someone edit your fics for you. Aside from that, it accomplished what it set out to, so pat yourself on the back for not having a generic fic.
6439272 I would like to hear what the errors are, it is one thing to say that there are errors, and another to point them out to the author. Also, trust me when I say I've seen these things written before. I don't go into something without prior knowledge of it.
As for editing, I went over this multiple times to work out the wrinkles, and even had some friends read it over for me. As stated above, if I did miss something, its better to tell me what I missed instead of telling me I messed up.
Great story... Just please correct the few errors
6440284 It's better to say the errors than it is to say there are some. I don't have any guidance if no one points the way.
