Spike finally wins the heart of Rarity, but his happiness is short lived before disaster strikes pushing him far beyond the brink of insanity.
(Based off of a short story written by my favorite band, Alesana)

Spike returns to Ponyville, as he has every year for the last few millennium. Unfortunately, this time something happens that threatens to make him do something disastrous for all the wrong reasons.

Innocent Spike plays a dating simulator...starring the ponies of Equestria. Though as he delves further into the game, his attitude towards it begins to take a dramatic turn. Because for Spike it will no longer be just a game. It will become his new way of life.

Spike and Twilight have been together for their whole lives, but what happens when the time comes when the friends are supposed to split apart? A long walk in the night reveals what the future holds for the duo.

Spilight.

Applejack can't sleep because of how good it actually felt to let Spike massage her. Who would have ever thought his little dragon claws were just right for some good massaging? In desperation, she decides to ask Spike to massage her again.

Spike the dragon has a lot of free time on his claws these days, and has to fill that time with something, right? And where is he getting all these bits from?

Twilight finds out just what he's been doing, and she is not pleased.

I still love ya, Bobby. Just know that.

Spike might not be a baby much longer. Is Twilight ready to face that fact?

Becoming Dragon Lord has brought a wave of new responsibilities for Ember, none of which she enjoys. The first of these tasks are the formal negotiations with Equestria, which will either formalize peace between the two nations or else be the start of a deadly war. She's pretty sure it's going to be the former, but if she has to sit through another awful meeting, she may change her mind.

Spike offers her an alternative: visit the spa.

On the day of the Friendship Games, the veil between two worlds is pierced. The magic of Equestria seeps through the barrier to permeate the world of humanity. Entities begin to come into existence. Lore and legend are gaining flesh, bone, and blood, yielding things both wondrous and horrible. Magic is powerful, but a limited resource. If the world at large discovers its existence, Equestria will become a target.

Thus, seven friends agree to keep the secret, but some things will not be hidden away.

After finding her assistant missing again during her court duties, Twilight finds Spike with none other then Fluttershy and learns that the two have been a couple for a while. After overcoming her shock, she is told the story of how the two, unexpectedly, found comfort in each others embrace...
