Everypony knows what Spike feels for Rarity. Except for the latter of course. Due to some misunderstanding, Rarity innocently forces Spike to spend an evening with Sweetie Belle... Awkwardness ensues.

While normally far from the type to play video games, especially violent ones, Rarity finds herself convinced to join the girls in playing Black Sunset, one of the most popular games in the country. It's not long, however, until the game has her thinking about what's going on with her life. Namely, Spike. While the years had both washed over them, blossoming her into a mature, college educated woman and Spike into a fine lad himself on his junior year in high-school, his obvious interest in her has yet to fade. Rather, it's grown stronger.

A part of her yearns for the simpler times, back when he was a child with a childish crush.

But another faint, diminutive part of her is curious. Wanting. Wanting to sit back and listen to him. Listen to him express himself to her.

In his own way.

Thanks for the featured guys! It's a great honor!

A famous unicorn artist, now in midlife, shocks her doctor by revealing that the father of her unborn youngster is a teenager. But that's only the beginning: Can there truly be such a thing as trans-species pregnancy?

Twilight just wants to read, preferably without any third-pony interruptions. But Trixie clearly has her own idea about what Twilight really wants, and it doesn’t seem to include reading.

Note: No romance novels are harmed in the telling of this story, though maybe they should be.

This story is a sequel to Lies and Lyres

After the events of Lies and Lyres, Spike is ready to let Rarity know about his relationship with Lyra. She says she's happy for him, but does she really mean it?

How can a sardonic dragon, a bookworm of an alicorn, and a timid pegasus possibly live under one roof as a herd? Well, only one way to find out.

May hold multiple chapters if well-received.

With Twilight Sparkle still adjusting to life as a princess, Rarity becomes convinced she can help her friend by finding her a special somepony. And when that somepony turns out to be Fluttershy, awkward dates and adorable moments are sure to follow!

For a different take on the same characters, be sure to check out my RariTwiShy story, Our Lady's Courtship.

Lotus Blossom's twin, Aloe, isn't exactly as similar as everypony would guess. In fact, the earth pony has a rather large secret that HE doubts very much everypony would react favorably to. However, when he starts having trouble properly focusing around one of the hoofful of ponies who know his secret, he starts to worry he may be falling head over hooves. If he pursues her, will his secret be able to hold, or will he have to abandon it to get what he truly wants? Not to mention, can a pony who's so rough and tumble work with one who bruises so easily?

When a shooting star listens to the soft wish of a young dragon, Spike finds himself in a bit of a 'freaky' situation with the stunning Rarity. A day in the life with each other gives them both a glimpse of what the shoe is like on the other hoof in terms of their relationship.
