Sidenote: I appreciate the criticism I received prior to writing this from the people who said that it "couldn't be done", and that "Rarity and Spike being together just won't work out". If it weren't for you guys, I would never had been inspired to prove you wrong by creating this. Thanks! :D
Anyway, this is a cute romance fiction about my favorite - and really, the only normal - couple in Ponyville. Enjoy!

As the only canon pairing I can think of, I'm surprised they don't get more attention >.>
Oh yay! A Spike/Rarity ship! I had a story involving these two in mind as well. Glad to see someone else jumping on the wagon too. :)
Ooohh...this is gonna be interesting to read.
♫♥I look forward to reading what happens next in your story♥♪
Spike actually possibly making it with Rarity?
(Grabs popcorn)
This I gotta read.
waiting for part 3!
Ehh, I apologie to anyone who tracked this. The third part isn't done yet, I just accidentally hit the "publish" button, so ignore that if you got a notification.
However, I plan on having it finished by the end of the day.
At first, I felt inclined to point out the reasons why a cross-species relationship wouldn't work.
Then I thought for a minute, and realized this was a universe inhabited by talking ponies who cast magic, control the seasons, raise the sun and moon, etc. Why the hell can't a pony and dragon fall in love? Kick logic to the curb and do the impossible!
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next part.
I just want to start out by saying how disheartening it is to see all the comments along the lines of "[X shipping] would never work out, they're just too different," that I'm always seeing on various stories. Love is more often about compromise and sacrifice than it is simply finding someone similar enough to yourself that you don't have to make those compromises and sacrifices. Trust me, when you're in love with someone you'll be willing to do some pretty incredible things to make it work. Things that you otherwise never would have imagined yourself doing.
As for the story itself, I'm really enjoying it so far. I like how Twilight is so accepting and kind of pushing them together. That's so cute! I'll be patiently awaiting the rest of the story.
Finish the third chapter. Now.
Finally got three uploaded. But, since I had to do so on such short notice, I didn't have time to have someone proofread it, so if you could please message me about any of the spelling errors - I can guarantee there will be plenty - I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Part four is expected by the end of the weekend!
Wow... it seems like everyone's making Rarity out to be a tragic character. Still, I guess it works; makes me feel for her a bit more.
Oh boy oh boy! I'm liking this story a lot so far, keep it up!
well, heres a story i can somewhat find a connection(awkward to ask a girl i liked out sometime ago). well, time to follow this.
please...never abandon this story.
You know what's funny? When I wrote this story, I didn't think it would be that good. I mean sure, I was still going to put a good effort into it, but even then, I still didn't expect it to be much more than just another shipping fanfic. Next thing you know, I've got over 600 views, and a solid 5.0 rating from 15 people? Did NOT see that coming!
Anyway, thanks for the support, guys! I'm going to have the fourth chapter finished by Sunday at the latest, and I might even have an illustration or cover picture, too.
(And I must say, I'm enjoying writing this just as much as you seem to be enjoying it.)
i'm loving this fic! can't wait for moar!
Good job on chapter three! The ending made me feel all emotional. Poor Rarity.
I'm not sure about that closing line, though. I mean is she crying tears of happiness now? I can't really see her doing that while recounting her bad memories of her past, even if it does make her feel better to get them off her chest. Maybe you just meant that her tears weren't as full of sorrow this time or something? Anyway, the only spelling error that I still remembered by the time I got to the end of the chapter is this: "I was nearly dusk now." I don't usually pay much attention to them when I'm reading stories unless they're really big ones. Looking forward to chapter four!
Aww. I loved the whole straight-shipping thing - plus...
Rarity needs the lovin'!
Go, Spike, Go!
So, I think that I am going to start posting this story in smaller, more numerous segments, because:
1. It makes it easier on me.
2. You guys get to read the new chapters more often.
3. More of those cliffhangers that I just KNOW you guys LOVE.
...oh WHAT?!? So..... so...... CLIFFHANGER-Y!!! Argh! Thanks. Thanks a lot. jk
You cliff hanging ass, these are great!
Sir, I believe you are mistaken about us loving cliffhangers. You're just a sadist, aren't you? =P
Oh well, I forgive you. By the way, I really like how descriptive your writing is. You manage to describe things in such detail without it feeling forced.
meh, i waited 3 months for season 2, i can wait however long it takes you to write the next chapter.
5063 I was lucky enough to discover this show right before season two started. Waiting for season three's probably gonna kill me, but I'll just suffer through that when the time comes.
A cliffhanger on the same day the premiere left us on a cliffhanger.
That's just cruel.
It's rather short compared to the other chapters! But nice cliffhanger, regardless.
♫♥I look forward to reading what happens next in your story♥♪

Actually, there is another "even more canonical" pairing staring you right in the face (especially if you have read the actual story just now). It is so obvious that is easy to miss... the Cakes! Happily Married...
That having been said, I approve of this ship (and have my own interpretations of it as well).
Also, that last sentence is great. Shows that a certain someone has been "paying attention in class", in EVERY way, and is growing into a fine Magnificent Mare (as in Magnificent Bastard, but without any trace of the negative connotations) of her own.
And closer and closer to Carousel Boutique, where she was sure to spend yet another sleepless night in the agonizing pain of her nightmarish past.
-Oops! Incoming angst detected! Let's see if you can pull it off in good style...
and retrieved her portable CD player from her dresser.
-I find it preferable to keep the schitzo-tech towards the lower end of the spectrum as often as possible. Any particular reason you couldn't use a gramophone with a very long-running mechanism? It isn't like there is anyone else in the building to be disturbed by the sound.
As she sipped at her glass, she listened to the lyrics of the song, absorbing their meaning, and confiding with the writer.
-"confiding" doesn't quite seem to fit to me.
Rarity noted that Elena often would begin shouting and screaming seemingly out of nowhere, which is something Rarity wished she could do to let out a bit of the stress.
-Ah, perhaps the head-phones (and thus the CD player) are not as unnecessary as all that.
...She had just discovered why she was beginning to fall in love with Spike.
-Good cliffhanger.

In my own head-canon I prefer to include said challenges in detail, as well as their solutions... reason still ends up on the curb, but with Judo-like turning of its own force against itself, rather than with a single overwhelming blow...
Not that this way isn't good too...
Oh, Rarity. We understand you! We're here for you, dahling!

Bro...
While I appreciate the fact that you like this story so much that you want to make it your own, I'm afraid I cannot allow such a thing to happen. I understand that you may have some objections to some of the minor details of the fiction, however, it appears that - while you may not find them as desirable as you wish - everyone ELSE seems to take to this story quite fondly. So, unless you plan on writing your OWN version of this story - and by all means, if you feel compelled to, go right ahead - then I respectfully request that you keep your comments to yourself. Thank you!
(Once again, I mean not any disrespect, but unless you have anything such as a spelling or grammatical error to point out, then I don't need to hear about it.)
and thought I was not sure what that meant - or what it entitled - at the time, I had a pretty good idea.
-I think you may perhaps mean "though" and "entailed".

Since I can't figure out who you were responding to, I will err on the side of caution, and assume that this combines with the PM I get to mean that it was directed at me.
Basically, I am not planning on re-writing your story. I had my own Spikity story already in the works (or rather a story with a minor Spikity subplot as a plot-driving element). I hope to finish it one day. This has little to do with your story.
As for "once again" I try to review as many chapters at once as possible, so as to keep the flow of the story fresh in my mind. So I would not have paused to check messages, even if you did respond between the two messages.
This... is beautiful, and heartwarming. I totally hope there's gonna be more SpikeXRarity in season 2... because they really would be the best couple ever.
You will update.........................................NOW!
Okay, so, please don't kill me for this, but..........
I'm afraid this is going to have to go on hiatus for the next month or two, maybe till the holidays.
So this is going to be the last part for a little while. And it's not because I'm too lazy or have given up or anything, it's because I've been concentrating on Halo: Fall of Equestria, because a SHAT load of people have been nagging me to get cracking on that...
So yeah, my apologies again. But don't worry, things will start looking up for everypony when this story continues!
o my
Man... this was a good chapter... I wish it would have gone over the main point also. I wish you would release these faster!!!

Whoops, didn't see this little note... Well, that's okay, as long as you don't give up!
holy shit
For the first three chapters, I was expecting an unofficial sequel to 'Simply Rarity,' which is the best Rarity story out there IMO. This, of course, was stupid of me, because you never gave credit to the author of that story. A few weeks ago, I would've scoffed at the idea of Rarity being attracted to Spike, but since Discord is supposed to be a hybrid of pony and dragon, I guess the idea is more acceptable to me. You're doing a great job of giving depth to both characters, so keep up the good work.
^^AT NAME or should it be DubtrotMaster????
any way about the story "keep it up bro" holds hoof out for brohoof(anyone?)
So many cliffhangers! Confound these super short chapters.

Don't worry, the chapters won't be so short once I continue working on this on full steam.
The saddest part is, that my mother knew this, and she more or less ORDERED the doctors to murder herself in order to save Sweetie." Rarity's tone stiffened. "Spike, do you know the amount of bravery that must have taken? Knowing you had to die to save the life of another?" She asked rhetorically.
-That doesn't make it SADDER to me. That makes it more MOVING, but "the saddest part" is NOT a phrase I would associate with the addition of this information. Then again, since this is Rarity, not Twilight, I suppose a small amount of imprecision is perfectly appropriate. That having been said, I WAS tearing up at these lines.
Sidenote: If you ever write a chapter long enough that I end up wanting to leave a 20+ line response, would you prefer I put it in a PM instead of the public comments? Some author's prefer that, and while my memory is imperfect, I do my best to accommodate.
Really hope you get back on this fic soon. It really has more potential than most of the other ships on this site.
