A whole week without training is probably the best thing that has ever happened to Soarin.. If only he could find a way to make it last.

Not long after Nightmare Moon being defeated by the Mane Six and the Elements of Harmony, Luna returns to her normal life in Canterlot. Not long after being there, she learns of the Element of Magic: Twilight Sparkle, and learns more about her feelings than ever before.

(I intend to get part 3 started in January)

As the years drew on, Spike's childish heart grew into that of a true adult, longing for the finer things in life; the finest things. He pursues his relationship with Rarity, but all does not go as planned.

Filled with anger and sorrow, Spike and Rarity fall away from one another. In his grief, Spike pursues new interests, and their friendship is in danger of never recovering.

But perhaps the truest words in life are these: you do not know what you had until you have lost it. Jealous and alone, finding no comfort in stallions she once loved, can Rarity reclaim her one chance at true love, before it is too late?

Not all assumptions are malicious, but even the most innocent rumours can be unpleasant, if they actually effect ponies' lives. Rainbow Dash knows this all too well as she tries to confront the stallion of her dreams. A bitter-sweet kind of hilarity ensues when she meets another pony with similar problems.
.

To recognise the mane cast for their efforts in saving from Equestria from an eternity of night, chaos and other problems, Princess Celestia decides to invite them to the Mid-Spring Honours event, one where ponies of particular noteworthy achievement are rewarded with titles befitting their accomplishment.

Could this be the time for Twilight to make her move? Could jealousy cause an irreparable rift between two close friends? And is there more to this night than first meets the eye?

I'll update the characters as they appear. Any criticism you have is fully welcome, as long as it isn't baseless insult; the more I learn about what you like or how to write, the more enjoyable I can make the story for you.

Big Macintosh was content as a farmer. Happy, even. But after a horrible accident on Sweet Apple Acres, he and Soarin are re-built, better, faster, and stronger than before. But will they be left alone to live in peace, or are darker forces afoot?

Hi, everyone. This is based off of a short animation I'm working on. Basically, Big Macintosh and Soarin' get the whole Steve Rodgers, Terminator, Inspector Gadget treatment. The violence isn't that graphic, so no worries. I'd love any feedback that can help improve, so feel free to post comments. I'll try to keep updates to a schedule, but you all know how life is.

Upon eavesdropping on a conversation between Rarity and Twilight Sparkle, Spike discovers what his "true love" really thinks of him, and after reminiscing on his thoughts about it, he slowly begins to drift away from his friends. With sorrow and despair in his heart, Spike runs away from home, and runs into an old enemy that tries to help him out.

However, after realizing what she has done, Rarity begins to realize and discover that she has feelings for Spike after all, but can she save him before it's too late?

Sidenote: I appreciate the criticism I received prior to writing this from the people who said that it "couldn't be done", and that "Rarity and Spike being together just won't work out". If it weren't for you guys, I would never had been inspired to prove you wrong by creating this. Thanks! :D

Anyway, this is a cute romance fiction about my favorite - and really, the only normal - couple in Ponyville. Enjoy!

The story starts 11 years in the future from where the show is at right now. Spike and Sweetie Belle are in their late teens, Twilight is in college, and the rest of the Mane Six have grown up quite a bit. With everypony occupied with their expanding personal lives, Spike and Sweetie Belle are left feeling isolated and forgotten by their friends and family. But their growing love for each other brings its own set of problems: When you're the only dragon for hundreds of miles, and you're in love with a pony, nothing is easy.

After a long day of work, Spike shares an intimate moment with Rarity that sparks a budding relationship. Together, the two recover from tragedy and move toward an uncertain future and inevitable conclusion.

A short romance set several years after the conclusion of the series.
