Spike and Rarity have had a wonderful life together, full of adventure and romance and the truest of friendships. But all good things must come to an end, and for an immortal being like the big purple dragon, moving on seems like an impossible task.

With the fond memories of his life and romance with Rarity still in his head, and the certainty that she won't be the last to leave him, Spike has to face the most difficult challenge anyone who has ever been in love ever could.

Saying goodbye.

Written because I was challenged to make my fiancee cry over Sparity. I won. Read the brazen tearjerking attempt at your own risk.

An English knight married a kindly woman, touched in the head, who thought she was an alicorn. She was right.

Then one day Cecilia disappeared.

He knew that Cecilia vanished into the side of the statue, the same place she lamented the 'mirror closing' two and a half years ago. He threw a rock at it... and it vanished. It was true. He had to find her.

He didn't care about Cecilia's madness, about this 'Equestria' or her obsession with ponies. He loved her. He loved her enough to walk into Hell itself. He would bring her back, no matter what.

Faust's arrival and her subsequent introduction to the little ponies that lived on the third rock in that solar system brought about a glorious Golden Age of expansion and magitechnical wonders never before witnessed in the history of ponykind. Ponies colonized every planet in the system, and made preparations for interstellar expansion. Unfortunately, it was not to be.

From the beyond came a terrible and ravenous Darkness, intent on devouring all of ponykind. Just when all seemed to be lost, Faust struck down the Darkness and saved what was left of Pony Kind. Ponies would live to fight another day, but the cost had been terrible. Faust descended into a constant state of near death while ponykind struggled to rebuild from the wreckage.

More than a thousand years have past and the children of the darkness are stirring. Ponykind's survival rests upon the withers of a select few, the guardians. Stallions and mares forged in Faust's light to do battle with the Darkness.

This is the story of a freshly minted guardian as he seeks to discover his destiny.

A mare goes into heat when it is time for her to find a mate, and have foals, as it is the only time this is possible. For most, it is a joyous time, a chance to deepen bonds with their special someponies, or have some fun with friends. For others, it is a time to hide, for they are not quite so promiscuous.

For Fluttershy this year, it is neither of these things. This year, going into heat, she knows the end of one of her biggest dreams has arrived.

Rarity has noticed that Applejack has an odd habit. Twi. Dash. Rares. Shy. Mac.

And now... Rara.

Which leads her to ask... what's up with that, anyway?

Ponies have spread to the stars thanks to advances in technology. In the advanced and luxurious Solar Explorer, Celestia travels to the first extra-solar colony world set up by her little ponies. Unfortunately, events elsewhere in the galaxy, unknown to them, have set in motion a cycle that has been repeated for countless eons… the reaping of sentient races. A Reaper dreadnought confronts the Solar Explorer, intent upon indoctrinating the leadership of the ponies and bringing them to heel.

Said Reaper quickly learns exactly why Celestia has earned the title Unconquered.

A Mass Effect crossover oneshot.
