Twilight discovers something for someone she never expected

(Under Renovation)

Being the subject of a great and powerful destiny isn't all it's cracked up to be.

If anything, it's annoying. And extremely painful.

After awakening to his fate as the purple one, Spike is immediately tasked with preventing the world from falling into the clutches of a being known only as the Shadow Sage; who, after being imprisoned in the distant past, is more than ready to make his grand return.

And what better way to commemorate the event than razing the entire world?

Now, Spike must find the four Guardian Dragons and receive instruction in each of the elements of Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth. Mastering all four is the only chance he has of sealing away the malevolent evils to restore order and harmony.

One minor problem: the Guardians are long gone, having faded from history at the time of the Shadow Sage's previous sealing. In addition, his forces have kidnapped the members of the Mane Six for unknown purposes, and now they must be rescued before it is too late.

"Remind me again why the fate of the world is resting on my shoulders?"

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.

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.

Princess Celestia inquires about Twilight's love life, and naturally, she assumes it's an important assignment. Insult to injury, Spike makes a bet with Twilight that she takes in a moment of injured pride. Now, with the help of her friends, Twilight is out to find love - or at the very least a date for Hearts and Hooves day!

Spike had always wanted to be with Rarity and felt certain she was the one he was meant to be with. He never thought he needed anyone else. But he didn't realize he had won over Fluttershy without even trying. But will Spike let go of his long time obsession and take a chance with someone who returned his feelings?

When two friends have been best friends for as long as they can remember, certain aspects seem impossible or can be hidden from each other. But over time, emotions and feelings can change. What will this mean for Spike and Twilight Sparkle, and will they be the only ones who are changing their feelings?

Ever since they first met, Fluttershy always wished Spike would care for her like she did for him. But he never did take his eyes away from Rarity. Thanks to new circumstances, she may just have a chance to show how she felt to him, but what will he think of this?
