This story has been riffed in Doctor and Ditzy's science theatre by Rixizu. You can find it on his user page here

Spike has been missing for three years. Why he disappeared is a mystery to everypony. What caused him to leave in the first place, and why is he suddenly back now? He's acting cold towards his old friends and won't reveal why. He's lost his love for Rarity and is treating everypony he comes across the same way Gilda did.

Opening theme for this story is: Constellations - Sound of the Aviators

Rated: Teen for language and potential sexual outcomes.

Warning: Self-harm is described in this story. If you are prone to self-harm or know someone who is and feel uncomfortable reading about the subject, then I don't recommend reading the story.

It all started as a normal day for Spike, panicking about Rarity, check, annoying Twilight with said feelings for Rarity, check. Rainbow creating a crater in front of the library, check?
Contains SpikeDash (obviously) and accidental background (Twarity)

This story is a sequel to Divine Intervention

"Cool,/I'm just trying to be cool./It's all because of you." -Phoenix, 'Trying To Be Cool'

After seeing Spike in a brand new light and seeing him as more than just Twilight's assistant, Rainbow Dash wants to tell Spike. However, it seems she's too scared of being seen as uncool by doing such. Will she spit it out or just let it bother her?

It's Hearth's Warming Eve again, and Twilight Sparkle is freaking out about her party at the library. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

It's Spike and Fluttershy that are really worried though. Ever since Rarity turned Spike away, he's been hanging out with everypony's favorite shy Pegasus. But is just friendship, or is it more?

On this night, they'll tell each other, and we shall see. The worst they could do is say no to each other, right? Oh...

NOTE: This is a one-shot I did to take some time off from my main story. I caved into the season, so I decided to do a pairing I like a lot. I know it's very rough, but I wanted to do it this way, cause that's just how I am. Comments and constructive criticism are well appreciated. Happy Hearth's Warming.

Rainbow Dash was never the kind of pony to care about what stallions thought of her, or at least that was what everypony assumed. When Spike finds out that what she really wants is to to be treated like a lady, he offers take her on a date. After all, it was just one date.
Written for the SpikeDash competion 'More Than Meets The Eye'.

This story is a sequel to Ditzy Don't

When Spike and his friends go on a trip to Daypony Beach, he's rescued from the sea by a strange filly. Despite having reservations about this mute pony, Spike and his friends welcome her into their group. However, the restless ocean--as well as the innkeepers warnings about the mysterious "ponies of the sea"--has everypony nervous, and when a nearby clan of dragons becomes involved, things go from bad to worse.

Somebody To Love

While preparing for a week away in Canterlot, Rarity rediscovers the Fire Ruby that Spike had given her the day before his birthday, which not only brings up some fond memories, but also brings her to a startling revelation - she's in love with him! But can a pony really love a dragon? That is the one question that strikes fear into Rarity and holds her back from confessing her feelings to him. Her own friends may approve, but surely the upper class of Equestria won't.

Throughout her trip, and the week leading up to it, the white unicorn mare finds herself struggling with her emotions, trying to decide whether to embrace her new-found love or just let Spike down gently. But along the way, all her friends are there to reassure her and offer their advice. While all this is going on, however, Spike notices Rarity's erratic behaviour, and takes it as a sign that she doesn't even want to be friends with him anymore; so he decides to try his luck with somepony closer to his age...

Love is the most powerful force dormant in all living things. It is loud, yet subtle. Proclaimed, yet felt more passionately. Love is what connects friends, family, and so many others. Like a string that branches and weaves, it becomes immeasurably strong and almost indestructible.

Enter the life of Spike. He, despite all the adversity and doubt, has made a life for himself as a loyal assistant and noble friend. He loves his friends like an adoptive family and has given the dragon name some respect. Yet, what happens when he finds they are not all being forthcoming with him. When one particular Pegasus reveals she harbors something for him, a chain reaction will be set in motion. What happens when the strings of his heart are tested?
