It was very sweet. Always enjoy a little peak into Rarity and Spike's lives, especially when it involves the other.

Nice, short and sweet especially when it concerns Twilight's new royal status.

Also great insight on Spike's feeling of the whole ordeal.

Nice to see how Twilight new title and duties are affecting Spike. If this is the case, how long before Twilight finds out and does something about it.

Short and simple. I think this premise has more potential. Spike's issue is pretty legitimate, but it's solved by nothing more complicated than Rarity assuring him there's nothing to worry about.

Not bad. Rushed ending, but not bad.

that was a bit to short. It has potential and I felt some emotion for a bit but that faded far to quickly.

A very good start... but rushed ending.

I have down voted this and wanted to make sure you knew why. First off I want to say that the start through the middle are actually quite good, but the ending is far too abrupt. The build up to Spike's emotional problem is well paced and then suddenly takes a quick nose dive when Rarity comforts him. Reassurance helps someone to reach a destination, but it doesn't take them there. Spike should still have some self doubt about his and Twilight's relationship. Yes, Rarity is probably right , yet until he and Twi talk about it, there isn't any conclusion reached. Rework the ending, fix the pacing and I think the story would be better. That said, your writing, in and of itself, is pretty good. I do enjoy lighter slice of life stories and yours has potential.

PS Rarity's talent isn't gem finding, its making others shine aka creating clothing that makes them look good(although I'd argue its a bit deeper than that). As for proof, she only got her cutie mark when her costumes were well received and when Applejack had her cutie mark wasn't looking for or using gems, she was making dresses.

I was actually thinking about this exact scenario after watching the S3 finale.
I was also looking a for a purely Slice of Life (possibly comedic) story that involved these two ( ) without a Romance plot to avoid unnecessary drama (I have enough of those under surveillance). These slice of life stories makes me feel all warm inside when I read them as it gives me better insight into the characters involved (if from someone else's perspective). They also feel realistic and relatable, giving me a sense of closeness and familiarity with them. So imagine my glee when I stumbled onto this.
I have to agree with the others about the ending. Specifically for me, the following passage:

After this, Spike’s mood improved considerably. He helped Rarity happily for the rest of the day, and went to bed that night thankful for his amazing sister and friends.

That's it? It seemed too convenient and wrapped itself up too nicely, even by MLP standards. If it said that Spike's mood improved a little bit instead of considerably, it would've been better. It doesn't have to lead to another chapter exactly but it would've ended with us knowing how much the change affected the little dragon. He feels better than before but not cured completely. This can only be truly resolved with Twilight visiting which COULD another chapter/story altogether.

I confess I'm not downvoting this, but I'm not upvoting either. My issues are similar to most of the other commenters. This had a lovely buildup but then completely fails to pay out. I confess it almost feels like the second half was written by someone else, or perhaps after too long a break.
