The nation of Equestria has been exploring their little slice of the universe for some time now. From launching probes into deep space, to landing ponies on the moon. Sending things beyond the grasp of their planet has become almost routine. However, with every mission into space, there comes a time when the voyage must end. What happens when Equestria experiences the end of a voyage that they didn't begin?

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?

When you live forever, what do you do with your time?
Do you love and lose, win and fall, hope and curse?
Do you seek to outrun the truth or face it valiantly?
Twilight Sparkle is dead, never to return, never to smile or pout or have that twinkle, that sparkle in her eyes again. Twilight Sparkle is dead and together, two creatures born with eternal life, two creatures brought together by sorrow and circumstance must try to overcome the simple fact that she is dead, that she has passed on and left them all alone.

But perhaps, through death and the passing of a loved one, something else can bloom from the ashes.

I absolutely detest writing out descriptions for my stories because I suck at capturing what the story is truly about in them.
Anyway, this is my first romance story, involving Spike and Celestia, so it's a peculiar couple indeed.This is also my first truly sad story so I hope I captured some feels.

Spike, like many teenage boys, is at a loss for romance. Kissing girls is as foreign as shedding for a pony. Seeking guidance, Spike turns to the one mare he trusts with such a matter: Cadence.

Taking him under her wing, Cadence sets up practice dates for the young dragon. But with each date, something grows underneath the surface. The dividing line blurs, and practice soon becomes reality...

Thanks to Vexy and The Abyss for kicking this fic into shape.

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.

Hearts and hooves day is near... soon, love will fill the air of the small town but will it be the same for two inhabitants of Golden Oak Library? Read to find out!

A simple Spilight oneshot writen by me when I should have been sleeping... Enjoy, rate and review!

A/N: Sorry again for mistakes, english isn't my native and there was no beta reading. If you want to correct this story send me PM. I would gladly accept improvements!

Eager to try new spells that only Alicorns can perform, Twilight Sparkle asks her assistant Spike to assist her. Little do they know that this is an unlikely age spell. How does the gang react? But more importantly, how does Twilight react?

One night, after returning from her first and worst date ever, Twilight Sparkle decides to put dating on the very bottom of her 'what-to-do' list. Upon hearing that, Spike strongly disagrees and decides to change her mind with a little more than few words.

Will he manage to rekindle the yearning for romance in his long life best friend or will he fail? Read to find out!

"He truly loved her and knew she loved him just as much. The dragon gulped deeply as a fluttering sensation occupied his stomach. He didn't just love Twilight as a friend."

After finally giving up on Rarity, Spike realizes that the true mare of his dreams has been in his company for a lifetime, but is unsure if Twilight would ever consider him as more than a great friend and assistant. The only way he can find out is ask.
