    Everytime I come to this site, there's that one story that always make me break down and cry.:raritydespair:

    That was good. If you fleshed it out a bit more - go into full-er detail Spike's feelings for Rarity, and just making it longer in general - could help in the feels department. Right now it's a "Tug at the Heartstrings" with a mild :raritycry: over her death. I easily can tell that a bit more work could bring a "THE FEELS, THEY ARE SO HIGH" with a full on 1 ro 1 1/2 :raritycry:s over the death.

    Good job none-the-less!

    I cried. A lot.

    I sighed. This one's done too. This one made me cry too.

    I got up from my chair and walked to the window next to me. It's night time, but i can hear a young girl saying "Goodnight" at someone. No idea who. Maybe she just said "Goodnight" to herself or to the wind.

    Knowing how Spike loved Rarity... just... made this story much deeper. My glasses are wet. So my eyes. So my cheeks. So my mind.

    I'll... I'll just stand still in front of the window until something happens. Depression getting me... I feel alone. So Spike now.

    >>1093583  That's a slower, more melancholy remake of the "Tears for Fears" song from the early 80's.  It's interesting how a different instrumental selection and tempo with the exact same verses and melody can totally change the mood of the song.  

    Oh, and as for the story, it made me a little sad, as any main character loss will do when written well.  But I've seen the 'character gets ill and dies' short story plot many many times.  It does tend to lose its impact after a hundred stories or so.  The impact is greater in a longer work, where you build up a vested interest in the character and their relationships.  Make everything look like it's all going splendidly, then give everyone an emotional wedgie and watch them sob.  :raritywink:

    I cried. :raritycry: I never cry to a story. Not even when Pinkie (Fav character) dies.

    You made me cry :fluttercry:

    So now I'm happy and sad! :pinkiesad2:

    I agree in this. I get much more upset when I see a character go that's been around for longer. I realized that this concept may be a bit cliche but once I had those writer's thoughts going, I really just wanted get it down and see what others thought. Your critisism is much appreciated. :twilightsmile:

    That made my night.

    I didn't cry at this story, but it pulled off a generous helping of catharsis for Sparity. Aristotle would be proud on that basis.

    She knew how much Rarity had ]grown to mean to me in these past few years, and how distraught I had become as she became increasingly

    sick.

    (assuming)

    you; :raritydespair: Sad because of story

    me;  If only we could go to the funeral and attempt to add extra depth to it.

    you; :twilightangry2: That you hate the idea but can't disagree

    me; :fluttercry: For even suggesting and idea to this already sad story :raritydespair:

    Nicely done, made me "see/feel" Spike's position, >>1094838 But this person is correct in the fact that if this/their approach was taken I would have also seen/felt Rarity's position

    The text kept going back and forth between touching and clever to average and tired.  All by itself I might give it a thumb, but I know heartthrob stories like this get heaps of generic positive praise, and I don't want to contribute to a rating I don't think this story deserves, but is eventually going to get.

    Really liked this. Very descriptive, really painted a picture of the scene in my head. Part of the reason why this was such a tearjerker. :raritydespair:
