It is the Hearth's Warming season in Ponyville and everypony and dragon is excited to spend their days with family; the friends gather for one last get-together at Twilight's home before heading off to other cities, but Rarity is hiding something about her holiday with her family.

After the events with Gabby, all seems well with Rarity and Spike, but there are certain things left unspoken by both of them, and keeping emotions bottled and set aside is never healthy.

First, the purple dragon needs to apologize too.

This story is a sequel to Disparity

Last night the impossible happened: Spike asked Rarity to be his special somepony for Hearts and Hooves Day, and she accepted. So what if it took a magic disaster to seal the deal? The most romantic day of the year, and Spike’s life, is about to begin. He’s dreamed of this one chance to win Rarity’s heart for years, and nothing is going to stand in his way; not even Rarity’s strange emotional jumps between happiness and panic.

Although this is technically a sequel, reading Disparity isn't necessary to enjoy what follows.

The sequel to this story is A String Wedding

The "Nightmare Rarity" arc in the comics has just ended and Ponyville must recover. Even more than the others, the Elements of Harmony must recover. And most of all Rarity, the Nightmare's main victim. But Spike faced his own ordeal, so after a few days rest he goes to visit Rarity where the two proceed to have a private chat. Rarity expresses her gratitude and apologizes for the vulnerabilities that allowed the Nightmare to use her. And then...the two discuss their own future. Rarity has made a decision. And as terrified as he is of rejection, Spike's long unspoken question is about to be answered.

WARNING--This story is EXTREMELY sappy. Life jackets are encouraged.

The title refers to Spike's temptation in the comic, not to anything that happens in this story.

This fic has been pre-read, but the reader has chosen to remain anonymous. He/she has my thanks.

The Clinical Psychologist Dr Wolf gets a very interesting patient in the form of Spike, who is having some problems with his feeling for Rarity and being a dragon.

Update: The good Doctor has finally released his offical moment with Spike you can watch it here. It is different than what I thought it might be. But I love it all the same. Here

It's been several weeks since Sludge's departure, and despite their relationship being stronger than ever, there are still some awkward moments as Twilight Sparkle and Spike adjust to finally figuring out what they are to each other.
But there are moments when that isn't an issue.
A rainy morning is one such moment.

This story is a sequel to No Nose Knows

It is recommended you read No Nose Knows first but it's not absolutely required.

Baked Bean was just a regular citizen of Equestria until one fateful day when he accidentally booped Princess Celestia's nose with his own and then found he was forced to marry her to fulfil the terms of an ancient law. Miraculously, Love has blossomed between the princess and the pauper, and the new Prince of Equestria is now looking forward to taking his place at the side of the Princess of the Sun.

But Baked Bean is still very much a novice in the realms of government and nobility, and he's in for quite the crash course between old foes, snobby ministers, and his own shortcomings...

But at least Luna tolerates him now.
