Starting from chapter 14, proofreaded and Edited by QuBit many thanks for job well done. You are awesome!

After a failed attempt at casting spell by Twilight, Spike gets sent to the void, a place which is unlike any other. What will happen to the poor dragon if he were to return one year later, changed, to the world he once knew with horrible memories slowly eating at his mind and only his friends to help him through it all to stop the terrible evil which makes its way to Equestria?

A Spilight story with some fiction to make up for Spike's age and additional knowledge to keep the story moving. Not too much fluff or action happening too fast... everything has its time and place because true love matures slowly!

What can you expect:
-It will be long, I have planned 30 chapters including Prologue & Epilogue so the action might be a little slow at times.
-Spilight but in later chapters. I want to take it slooooow
- Gore: Yes...not at first, but there will be chapters with heavy scenes which might be too...detailed or not suited for sensitive readers as I do have medical knowledge about the subject.
- Sex: Yes, but probably hinted at, in chapter 28. Might write a stand alone CLOP-fic later.

Author note: Be advised, chapters from: Prologue to chapter 13 are not edited.

Spike has been rejected by Rarity after helping her for a very important client and a fashion show. He disappears shortly afterwards, leaving Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and the rest of the gang saddened by his absence.

It has been three years since that incident, and the girls have gotten past the sadness, but still get together to remember the purple dragon every year. On this day, a new pony comes to Ponyville, and although he knows nothing of what his life was like, helps the group have more fun and fills part of the hole left in their hearts from Spike.

Idea for the fashion show goes to LordPlagus777's story Heart of Scales.

What Spike saw in the doorway of King Sombra's crystal palace hasn't left his mind. The fear of Twilight abandoning him haunts him through recurrent nightmares. Anxiety taunts him when he's at his most vulnerable, reminding him of all his failures, all his inadequacies, all his wounds.

One night, this fear and anxiety manifests itself in a full-blown nightmare, dragging Spike face-to-face with his greatest fear. What if Twilight never needed Spike in the first place?

Takes place right after the Season Three opener (before Episode Three).

Rated Teen for some dark elements.

After Princess Twilight is given the news that she must move much farther from their friend than she already had, Spike finds himself infuriated. The resulting argument is enough to force him to run away, but neither could have imagined how devastating it would be to their friendship. Now, six years later, Spike can't stop thinking about what he did that night and how dearly he wishes to take it back. So, after many sleepless nights, he decides to return to the friend he's long since abandoned, though when he arrives in Canterlot, Spike may have found more than just friendship.

As the years drew on, Spike's childish heart grew into that of a true adult, longing for the finer things in life; the finest things. He pursues his relationship with Rarity, but all does not go as planned.

Filled with anger and sorrow, Spike and Rarity fall away from one another. In his grief, Spike pursues new interests, and their friendship is in danger of never recovering.

But perhaps the truest words in life are these: you do not know what you had until you have lost it. Jealous and alone, finding no comfort in stallions she once loved, can Rarity reclaim her one chance at true love, before it is too late?

Spike's been feeling down on himself lately. Perhaps a flower might help?

"He truly loved her and knew she loved him just as much. The dragon gulped deeply as a fluttering sensation occupied his stomach. He didn't just love Twilight as a friend."

After finally giving up on Rarity, Spike realizes that the true mare of his dreams has been in his company for a lifetime, but is unsure if Twilight would ever consider him as more than a great friend and assistant. The only way he can find out is ask.

Twilight Sparkle, who doesn't know first thing about romance, planned to spend another hearts and hooves day at the library while reading a good book, much to Spike's objection. However, this time she will be forced to attend this very special occasion but not everything will go smoothly, not when a certain duo wants to do everything in their might to make it the worst day ever!
Will love prevail? Or will it succumb to petty misunderstandings and fears? Read to find out!
