This is amazing, this made me cry

So... many... tears...

the amounts of times i've read this.. yet it never fails to make me shed tears.

This story is amazing.

wow. that was EPIC!!!!

Just reading the description made me sad

happy/ sad tears were shed in this story.

thankyou

Wow.

Just...

Wow.

This deserves the feature box.

This.... this made me tear up. Good job on writing something that can tug at people's heartstrings

Great Story!

*clap*

*clap*

*clap*

Bravo, good sir. Bravo.

i could feel tears wanting to burst out the entire time i read this story.  no story has ever done that to me before.  this was just amazing!! good job

I am crying as I write this.I have never lost someone before and really have no reason to cry at all, really but My Little Pony :Friendship is magic has to be an exeption.It makes me happy and brings pure emotion to me.I am eternaly greatful for being in the Brony fandom.I really hope someday I met a Brony freind in person.Cause it gets extremely loney being the only Brony in my family,possibly school.My parents dont know how depressed I really get..I am always feeling lonely and well I feel like an outcast at times.Strange how I can say this when im only 12 heheh.Well I love the story sorry of I sound depressed .It's cause I am .......But the Brony community brings a smile to my face and tears to my eyes.

Sincerely

,Twi-Shy-Pie

Great story indeed. Thank you for this.

>>832226832226 *pinkie gasp*YOU PREDICTED THE FUTURE!!!!!!!

Incredibly well written. It has been a while since I've read something that made me feel emotion. This brought me very close to tears and considering my history, that is a feat worth writing about.

This... This made me cry... There are few sad fics I read that make me cry. Some of them don't even make me sad in some way... You have earn any and all praise you get for this story.

fucking brilliant this is on my mental favs along with tied #1 spot with my little dashie this is amazing it also brought me to tears

and here is my reaction sorta

This is literally one of the best, if not the best fic I've ever read in terms of raw emotion. >>832560832560 Yes, I agree this is quite comparable to My Little Dashie

>>832580832580 this better get featured >:C

I can see why dragons do not live with ponys due to their long life span of 1000 years when pony can only live a hundred i think. But yea i cry whenever i see a story about spike being grown and such.

Wow 3 hours Feature boxe nice work

How come I get the feeling I've seen this before?

>>832794832794 Because you probably have, I submitted this on Equestria daily a long time ago. It's not until quite recently that I started to get back into writing. I'm posting all my old stories here, then I'm going to write some new ones. It seems people like my old stories, and I'm glad some people, like you, remember them too

Didn't make me cry, but only one fic has managed that. I'm stoic.  But nonetheless, great job.

>>832804832804 Was it my little Dashie? That's like the king of all fics that make people cry lol I'll admit it made me cry

>>832809832809

Eenope.  I think it was a barely known fic that vanished off the site after it left the front page.  Something with... Rarity or something?  

>>832800832800 People should never forget stories like these.

They're one of the rare ones to exist but the best to be read by the viewers.

Thanks for putting this up for us.

That goes for My Little Assistant too.

>>832842832842 Thanks, you're quite welcome, is it common for someone to have two fics in the feature box at the same time? I'm guessing it's not but I honestly don't know, I haven't been here long All the attention I've been getting has been unexpected and awesome though, thanks everyone for reading!

>>832854832854 You're right, it's not common, and it's not common to find fictions like these anymore.

I think.

I'm glad you posted this here. Reading it again made me feel a little better than I was. Thank you.

Both fics are featured... it must be a sign. Spike is taking over the internet.

Hmm......Once I read "My Little Assistant" I'll take a look

I had to stop halfway through because I couldn't read through my tears and couldn't wipe them quickly enough. Thank you, I really needed a good cry. this really improved my day, in some strange oxymoronic way.

>>832804832804

I'm very stoic as well...

But why are my eyes leaking...?

>>832854832854

That was... intense. That's all I can really say, intense. I have to repair my emotional defenses now, after you just blasted through them.

>>833003833003

Have you considered that either:

A.  An assassin has fired a microscopic shotgun into your retinas.

B.  An android has infected you with a space-virus that makes your eyes bleed.

C.  You are attempting to squirt milk from your eyes, and failing miserably.

>>833009833009 lol I really like the third one

... Not 3 seconds before I read this I posted a comment in a blog that someone posted saying that they werent going to read this story... I told them that I would read it and not even let out a little sniffle... Well damn you, Indiference... Damn you to the deepest darkest depths of Hell... I'm not afraid to admit it, I cried while I read this...

>>833025833025 Is it because that person is afraid of crying? Well, at least for you, I guess its MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

lol

Who the hell thumbs downed this? The emotion in this is unbelievable! I was bawling my eyes out by the end of this. Wow, just wow, you sir an amazing writer and I hope you continue to make more great stories like this. I will be waiting patiently...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, especially compared to the other fics I've read. Great work! I wish I was I this good a writer.

After i was done reading this fan fic I looked at Grown up Spike pictures and found this

Image: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/328/a/4/dear_spike_by_paraderpy-d4h7mb2.png

and then i cried

Someone rated this down?! This shall not go unpunished!!!

>>833080833080 Damnnnnn I've never seen that before... that's awesome. I didn't think people liked this fic THAT much when I posted this originally on EqD. I guess I was wrong... Thanks for posting that pic here.

>>833048833048

That might be why they thumb-downed it. Their eyes are too damp, so they were unable to aim their mouse right and clicked the wrong thing by mistake.

>>833017833017

Quite amusing, indeed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE FEEEEEEELZ!

>>833098833098 Yeah, that is definitely the only plausible explanation. There is no possible way someone could *gasp* dislike this fic. It's impossible.

I remember reading this months ago, and it was the only fanfic that made me cry.  After reading this again, I still cried.  This is one hell of a powerful fic, now I have to go dry my tears and read a happier fic.

Cheers,

jangledorf

IM IN TEARS!!

Not gonna lie...this made me cry.

I can't really express my "bravo"s right, so im just gonna write this

Good job

*Whimper* "Stunning Twilight" is getting me. I can't stop thinking about those two words. She really is stunning, isn't she? Losing her would just crush me... Hold on. I gotta go cry again.

But I plan to read later

Dear sweet God  that was beautiful

I cried during this more than I cried during my little dashie, or my dad's funeral(His last words to me were "Fuck you"). Well done, well fucking done. Goddamn I love it! have my pinkies, have them all!

I don't cry often, but.. this story tugged at  my heartstrings. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Alright, I'm going to read this.

It's funny. I just saw that same picture on Google Images.

Oh look my pillows are now wet with something leaking from my eyes...and I'm pony enough to admit I cried all you non-posters not saying a thing!

>>833035833035 WOW! You got two, I repeat, TWO Featured stories! Both up at the same time! I give you, my applause! *applauds*

I both love and hate to read sad stories.

But either way this story is amazing. Great job.

I would like you to know that this fic was one of the first ever to make my man-tear list. Thank you for finally getting it up here. Sometimes I just need a bit of sad and this is one of the best.

>>833376833376 Yeah I know its pretty cool, I am quite pleasantly surprised with the reaction I've been getting on the site. Once again thanks everyone for reading!

>>833260833260 seriously? This is a sadfic. You do not do it the honour it deserves with that gif

>>833487833487 Somepony had to

Eh, for me the only sad part was when Twilight died. The parts after that I just thought were a little... obvious Luna fanboy/obvious Celestia hater. But hey, everypony else seems to like it so good job.

I'm literally standing up and applauding for you right now. You deserve it. Amazing.

I remember reading this on EQD--it's the work of literature that sparked my foray into discovering my current attitude(s) and perception(s) of life and death.

Sadly, I can't say it was one of the formative pieces (that would be Terry Pratchett and his work Mort, Cornell West, Stephen Colbert, and a great deal of thinking on my part), but without this I may not have the beliefs I have today, beliefs that give me great comfort.

You have my greatest gratitude.

P.S. Liked and added to my favorites.

Great fic. Wasn't quite on board with the part about Celestia just forgetting Twilight, but still, great story

So first this got posted today and I was like, wha? Wuzzat? Then I went out. Came home and it was freaking featured! So I checked the little table of contents section. Saw the sad tag. Quaked in fear! Then read the story. It was beautiful! Well done, you almost had me with Twilight's letter. Liked and Favorited.

i cried so much just now.

really strong story.

great job

>>833486833486 Meh I don't cry (for some strange reason it is actually physically impossible for me) but this one got me right in the feels.

Damn....this......this reminded me of my aunt and great grandma for some reason......shit, I'm not saying this made me cry, but....I have bittersweet memories....so....thank you......seriously.....thank you. But I'm still a 100% fan of Spikelight, just to inform you so we don't have any way of changeing my mind, not that you would but...buck, I'm rambling.....thank you......

Curse you invisable whatevers that make me unable to cry towards fics like this! Great story though...  

Yet again another classic is back, still awesome as ever

My eyes teared up so much reading this.

That was a great story! (Cue thumbs up and shiny teeth flash) I found a spelling mistake in their but I forgot what it was. Cheers!

Oh fu*yay*! I actually remember reading this a while ago!

Time to reread and add to favorites!

A follow-up to "My Little Assistant"?

Looks like I'll have to engage that one too!

Wardog 1, acquiring radar lock!

Wardog 1, Fox Two! Fox Two!

Silver out!

...Dem last words...

This is beautiful. Well done.

A wonderful epitaph from an often-ignored side of the mourning story of post-Twilight epicness.

Wonderful - I normally hate far-future fics... but this...

Beautiful.

Oh, and that thing about Celestia moving on and treating her new student the same way as she treats Twilight... It makes me feel like she is either heartless, or has been acquiring new students constantly in an effort to forget her first or something like that.

This has also given me an amazing idea for a Romance-Tragedy fic, but I've got enough on my plate already.

I'm sorry but you owe me over 9000 bits because my tears flooded my house.

Wow. I thought this was familiar, and then realized that this was the first pony fan-fic I had ever read back when I had first joined Fimfic. Still brought tears to my eyes.

This... this was amazinh. It made me feel at first extremly sad... then... and then I felt happy, sort of...

Ok, that was well done. I always feel that having a main character passing away is kinda cheating for a tearjerker, but the focus isn't on Twi passing so much as it is about Spike's reaactions. Also the first I've seen where the victim of longevity is Spike, rather than Celestia. Going straight to the favourites.

Why can't I hold all these feels?

a very touching story, well done

YES! my wish has come true and this got featured ha ha i was inb4 featured lol

Oh... the tears... they hurt. they burn.

It appears that it's raining.

It appears that it's raining.

Wow... you really hit me hard with this one. Very few things in life can make me sad anymore, but losing a loved one has always been my greatest fear and as it turns out weakness. This makes me think of my grandfather who recently passed away, he was like a father to me and i would give anything just to spend one more day with him... great story! Really sad, really really sad.

i cried so damn hard, i had to stop occasionally to wipe my eyes to read more....damn good job

>>832800832800 Ah, good.

I thought I was going crazy there for a moment.

Well done sir, that is all.

>>832422832422 I must say, I know how you feel, for I'm in the same place you are... I'd hug you if I could.

This story has brought me to tears, and it's an absolutely beautiful story.

Loved it. Haven't felt this much emotion since My Little Dashie

I was listening to 'Window - The Album Leaf' while reading this, that may have helped grease the waterworks

If I wasn't a veteran of the internet, I'd have cried. Very nicely done.

The pressure of tears was right there! But, I managed to keep my composure, and not cry. Kinda feel bad that I didn't, but hey, it's still an amazing story.

>>833260833260 what have you done?!?!
