With her dreams crushed after the horrible night at the Grand Galloping Gala, Rarity leaves her friends to sulk in peace and quiet. However she finds her hopes of being alone are shattered as her little "Shadow" known as Spike follows her to cheer her up. In result, it seems that this little dragon is more of a prince than one might expect.

Sparity OneShot, meant to be fluffy and pointless.

After growing older, Spike finally gets to date Rarity as she feels he was old enough to do so. After about a year of dating Rarity feels as though their relationship is ready to be taken to the next level. Spike learns that the "next level" is to move in with her. Unsure about his decision he doesn't know if he wants to with fear of abandoning Twilight.

TW: Eating Disorders and mentions of death

Spike's feelings for Rarity have grown stronger over the years. He feels like Rarity is just ignoring his feelings, for Spike, this feeling like rejection. This causes minor depression in the little dragon, but as the 'rejection' continues, it could lead to 'life-threatening depression.

Fluttershy makes a few appearances.

This is finally it, Spike's decided; he's not going to let the sun sink one more time without finally wooing the unicorn of his dreams! He's been scheming and conniving, and despite his prior stumbles and false starts, this is it! The ultimate plan to win Rarity's heart!

Or so he hopes. Twilight's concerned for her young companion, and does her best to mitigate the effects of his "perfect plans" that she suspects might be misguided to start with. Why do her efforts seem so intent, though? Not even Twilight knows, but maybe some insight into the duo's past can shed some light on the situation. As two close friends of hers' seem to be on a collision course, Twilight has to face the harrowing truth - someone's going to be hurt, no matter how much she might try to prevent it. All she can do is rally couage - in others, and herself.

Spike is far too young for her, of course.
That means they'll have to keep it their sweet little secret.

Rarity's home makes a perfect love nest,
a wonderful place for a few hours of passionate kisses and gentle caresses in the dark.

Love is most appreciated in the nights it keeps us awake.

Things don't always go how we want them to. Sometimes despite our best intentions everything goes wrong, and those we care about get hurt. Sometimes it our own fault. We let someone down, fail them, or realize that we just weren't good enough; sometimes we fall. It's in these moments that we discover who we are. Our decisions in these moments define us; we show ourselves and the world what ideals we hold in high value.

This is the story of Spike's fall. When he nearly lost the one he loved the most, and the decisions he made as a result.

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.

Inspired by fanart from artist Banshee42ru. Set a few years after Season 2 (pending future edits), the story follows the relationship of Spike and Apple Bloom. Their young love takes a serious turn when she finds herself pregnant with a half-dragon, half-pony foal. How will their family and friends react, and what will this halfbreed child mean for them and Equestrian society as a whole?

NOTE: Updates and new chapters tend to take a rather long time, but unless I actually put it as 'On Hiatus' I actually am working on it. It's not abandoned, I just have a really slow writing process.
Also, a while back someone sent this to Equestria Daily without asking me. I appreciate the thought, but they work on a strike system and I really don't want to be locked out.

Twilight realizes Spike might be neglecting his childhood when she sees how hard the dragon is working to help her around the library, so she decides to send him to school to mingle with ponies his own age. Despite his intellect and maturity, Spike finds himself with unfamiliar ponies, in an even more unfamiliar environment. Can Spike learn what it means to be a child before the fillies and colts drive him insane?
