Spike is determined to show Rarity that what he feels is more than just a simple crush.

After many years of knowing each other, Spike finally decides to tell Rarity of his true feelings for her. But it doesn't go as planned. Can Rarity fix the mistake she has made? Or will she have to live with her decision for the rest of her life, knowing it may well kill Spike?
(Story on hiatus until further notice)

Princess Celestia is overcome with distress prompted by the wish Princess Luna granted. Celestia had cast the same spell performed for that wish with good intentions in years only remembered from archived memories. Never did she expect the harsh consequences that would soon follow the act. Spike is in danger of losing himself to the new change, and Celestia knows very well the devastating outcome will take its toll. Will a quick adhesive solution solve the problem or is it too late? Wherein lies the real solution?

Note: The 'Sad' tag mostly revolves around Princess Celestia due to her past memory. I've noticed some other areas where the tag also applies but, nonetheless, this is not meant to be an altogether sad story.

The course of true love never did run smooth - William Shakespeare

Princess Luna reveals a truth to Spike that a dragon's nature wholly pertains to greed and coveting shiny objects. Never have dragons been known to be caring and/or yielding albeit at only one time in the past. Rarity's giving personality presents itself in many ways by unconditionally helping friends. However, there comes a time when an important decision needs to be made. This decision is better known as the ultimate act of generosity—giving away one's self. Luna has made it clear that Spike's intended relationship is detrimental to Rarity's future. Will (or should) he let her go?

Only Generosity's true nature will dictate the outcome.

Lyrics in the story are from Megaphoric's song, The Diamond because the song is awesome and contains one of THE most powerful messages about greed, envy, and generosity!
