Amateur fanfic writer and reader. Sometimes I get dreams, dreams of ponies, and wish that someone would write a story based off them. So why not me?

For Spike, the Summer Sun Celebration was more than the celebration of the summer solstice. It was the day he and Twilight came to their new home in Ponyville, the day the Elements of Harmony were rediscovered, the day six mares found a bond so powerful, it would define their entire world.

For Spike, today was a day of remembrance.

Thank you. Writers that make you cry, make you laugh, make you coo...I strive to write like them.

Your comment has made my day.

Why... Why is it whenever I read one of these stories that I cry? ... And then read it again so I can cry some more?!

Nothing wrong with a good cry. :pinkiehappy:

Wait, :raritycry:

Yeah, that's better. Anyways, glad you liked it.

All that we have are the memories of those that have gone before us. This was a very moving story, thank you for posting it.

SO SAD!:raritycry:
Twilight's part really got to me.

Hmm... This would have affected me a week ago. Though I've come to terms that sometimes you will outlive those around you even when you think they'll last forever. Still full of feels, that could bring more people to cry, so cudos to you.

why? why!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!? :raritycry::fluttercry::fluttershbad::fluttershysad: THE FEELZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fluttercry::raritycry::raritycry::raritycry::raritycry::raritycry::raritycry::raritycry:

To lose a loved one is such a terrible thing. For all the memories will haunt you as you wonder how you could have made the time you had better. Loss will make you wonder if what the future holds is even worth hanging around for, but you cant give in. Those who have gone would want those left behind to finish their journey before joining them.

I thank you for this story despite the tears I shed.

This is different. You kept in Applejack alive, which I've never seen done in these stories where the Mane Six die and someone copes. That's great! She's tough and honest enough to give Spike a dose of reality and guidance to help him see the end is never the end, only the start of something else.

A very nice story. Nothing tearful-worthy, but that's mostly because I've seen these already. It does give enough twists, though, and it's written well enough. I will say that please don't exaggerate Applejack's drawl. It becomes hard to tell what she's saying and it's just too much. An accent doesn't give liability to go crazy with it, but don't worry; that's happened many times before, so I'm just warning you now. It's not a good idea.

Other than that, I think it deserves this:

Geez, I don't know what to say except thank you. It's an honor.

I do have a question though: How far is too exaggerated?

3216421 Glad you asked! I remember reading a guide someone made here that was perfect for people wanting to write the Apples' accents. I don't remember where it is now, so I'll just go from the top of my head. If I ever find it, I'll give it to you, because it's very simple, as should writing their accents. You don't have to add so much detail to their accents, really. I'll take a look at this quote.

Psh, Ah think if we c'n survive eternal night, becoming tha capital of chaos, a parasprite swarm,' a Changling invasions, an' a couple of Ursa Minor run-ins, Ponyville'll can pro'ly stand 'round for a long time."

The words like can and probably are hard to distinguish in there, and really you do not need to add to the accent to make it sound realistic. Places like an' and 'round I'm okay with, because if you think of Applejack saying it, she'd say it like that. She wouldn't say can like c'n, though. I don't see how anyone could. There's also here:

"Ah apologize. It's not selfish tah want more of yer friends. An' Ah've got no right tah tell yah what tah do with yer life.

When people change to into tah and you into yah, it all seems like a cluttered mess together, especially so much. Not to mention that the h in these are very distracting and certainly aren't needed. Yah and ya sound the same, as to tah and ta. Even that'll tone it down a bit.Either way, the accent is fairly simple, and doesn't have to be written too complicated or else it'll be too complicated to understand.

EDIT: This! It isn't the one I had in mind, but it works.

3216506 Thanks. I'm not too sure I agree with some of the guides points but I'll definitely try to tone down the accent.

3216593 Eh, you don't have to agree with them. I didn't expect you, too. Heck, I like I say "Ah" for "I." It all matters on how you feel writing it, but yes, do keep it in mind at least. :)

:fluttercry: That was sad but lovely, really well done. It makes sense that Applejack would be the last to go. She was always the healthiest. There question if the Mane Six or immortal or not but at times I think a good sad fic is a good read. Manly tears were shed today.

Thank you. If you look through my favorites, there's a nice balance between sad fics and comedy. Tears and laughter...that's life ain't it?

3226427 Will be sure to do that. Thank you. :twilightsmile:

This was a really sweet story. I love when Applejack and Spike interact with each other. The mental picture I got at the end was really sweet and cute too. Well done. :)

Thanks. You know, I've always wanted to draw. Never had the patience to learn. But to hear that I could paint such an image in your mind...:heart:

3231703 I could probably draw it myself, but it would require a lot of practice and I would need to be in a good mood. I don't draw as often as I should to improve myself. The same goes for my writing. I'd like to study music theory, but can't bring myself to do so. I should also read more than I do. Eh, anyway, to able to paint a picture like that in a reader's mind takes talent and skill, a writing level that takes years of practice to obtain.

beautiful... :fluttercry:

Hell! I'm drowning in manly tears.

Losing her husband had dealt the Crystal Princess a cruel plow

Blow?

Another great story. I feel like a cruel bastard, but... I just love these kinds of stories.

God damn it! Good catch there.

I saw the cover art, and my first thought: "What. The. Hell." SPIKES SOO BIG!!!!!!! :pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp:

I hate myself for wanting to read sad stories like this, but I can't and won't stop.:fluttershysad:

Good Job!:twilightsmile:

:raritydespair:Daaaammmmmmnnnnnnnn

To the assholes who disliked this wonderful and passionate story, I say this go fuck yourselves!:flutterrage:

Well done, tears like sand on the beach. Too numerous and wet.:raritywink::moustache::twilightsheepish::ajsmug::pinkiehappy::rainbowlaugh::yay::trollestia:

Even compared to other sadfics this made me cry quite a bit, I had to stop multiple times to wipe my eyes:fluttercry:

5933307
Well I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the fave.

"So long as we remember, they live!":rainbowdetermined2:

And I see you had them live for at least another thousand years.:pinkiehappy:

This sentence made me cry, literally.

"I think I'm done. I'm sick. I'm tired. I'm broken. I don't want to keep going. I want to sleep. I want to d-"

:fucking dammit. Applejack dependable to the very end, as all ways we all love her one or the other :pinkiesmile::heart::fluttercry:

Two for two on the liquid pride, oy. :fluttercry:

I have to admit to a little bit of giddyness however, when I realized we both had the same ideas about Rainbow Dash's and Fluttershy's internment plans. :twilightblush:

Sad...but I really love the stories where Twilight is an alicorn, but not automatically immortal. No one said being an alicorn automatically meant immortality. Maybe only Luna and Celestia are immortal because they're connected to the eternal celestial bodies. Twilight and Cadance might be like normal ponies, unless Cadance's connection to love has somehow made her immortal.

I was glad to see Applejack as the last. If the Apples have proven anything, it's that they live A VERY LONG TIME! :ajsmug:
