Two thousand and fifty three years.
Spike has been battling the eldritch horrors of timeless Ginungagap for over two millennia, yet even to this day, his shame remains gnawing at his very heart and mind. Until the day comes when he is told of the danger that threatens what is most precious to him.

To save what he loves, Spike shall face his shame once more, his will, determination and sanity stretched to their limits, as he will step into the Abyss of his own, personal hell.

As always Spike moves forward, ever forward, towards battle, death and hopefully redemption.

In life, shame.
In death, absolution.

Spike and Rainbow enjoy some unconventional time together. Too bad they have to fight with their moral compasses to find their way to each other.

Written for The Fourth SpikeDash Competition.

It's been a few years, but it finally happened. Rarity finally told him it just wasn't gong to work out. Now all Spike wants to do is sit in his room and wallow in his misery. Fortunately, Rainbow Dash has other ideas. After all, she needs a partner for the Equestrian Unity Challenge and he could use some time away from home. Of course, making a partnership work is hard enough without the introduction of unexpected rivals or unexpected feelings.

(Written for the fourth SpikeDash competition. As this is under some constraints as a contest entry, this may see later expansion.)

Spike gets a visit from a truly loyal friend, but she isn't just coming for a regular visit. what does rainbow have to say? And how will it affect their relationship?

It's amazing how much can change in a month. One day the baby dragon in the crystal castle next door is small enough to be carried on your back, thirty days later and he's larger than you, learning to use the new pair of wings he just grew.

Or at least trying to learn to fly. Still, everyone has to start somewhere, and even the greats sometimes come from the humblest beginnings. Just look at Rainbow Crash.

Actually, don't. Look Rainbow in the eye, and she might just take that as a challenge. Poor Spike never stood a chance.

Spike and Rainbow Dash are pitted in a fight to write the better story.

If only they had a story to write about.

Shout out to "Diamond brook," who wrote Chapter Two to help me me finish this story on time. Go check him out!

Spike and Rainbow Dash are best friends. Over the years they've grown quite close to each other, and Spike wants to take it to the next level. Only problem is... He has no idea how to do that.

Flowers are a safe bet...right?

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?

“You may be right,/I may be crazy./But it just may be a lunatic your looking for.” –Billy Joel, “You May Be Right”

Sequel: "Trying To Be Cool"

Spike is left to his daily tasks as Twilight Sparkle is in Canterlot on official business. This includes a visit from Rainbow Dash, who is looking for more books to read.

She slowly begins to see the small purple dragon in a new light after a number of recent events. What exactly is going on with her?
