Sometimes you look so hard for something that you miss what's right in front of you.
You just have to keep hoping.
Rarity awakes to knocking, only to find a book the only thing at the door.
Reading the research log of Twilight's feeling ends up to be one of the better things she's done.
Accepted into Twilight's Library! I feel all warm and fuzzy now.
Written for the Friendship is Magic Gaming Clan creative contest.
Not written for but given the okay to add it to the RariTwi Contest (Made it to the top five too EDIT: Tied for the Top Prize)

Spike done good indeed.
Good story mate, it's always nice to read a cute little shipfic
Interesting... Though you could've described how Spike felt in the end. He had a crush on Rarity after all and doing that must've let him somewhat melancholic. One more sentence about that maybe...
Other than that: The "Mystery Romance" was pretty damn funny.
The ending made it more me.
Nice story, even if it was a little 'tell' heavy.

And now to repay him they need to set him up with
Awww, that was sweet. Wish we could've seen a bit more about Spike and how he felt about the situation, but good stuff. This is one of those rare stories where I'd love to see it continue, yet it's wrapped up so nicely that I'm content with it. Good job!
Good on you Spike, you be that wing ma....pon.....dragon welp thing for your big sister.
Stylistically, this is kinda bland, but the premise is still cute. Gotta love Spike the matchmaker, sacrificing his own feelings for Rarity so that Twilight can have a chance with her.
Personally, I found this to be a great premise. Original and in-character with fair amount of attention to detail and emotion. I like it!
On one hoof, Spike's line at the end was a Wham Line which I like, on the other hoof, a bit more detail regarding how he looks at the moment and how he must be feeling could have helped.
Spike should get a medal- no wait- five medals for being so awesome in just one small paragraph.
Very interesting angle to try with this pairing. I also like that Rarity skipped to the last page and then realizing that Twilight would be furious that she skipped it. I think that this deserves a watch.
Good story and it accounts for Spike nicely. I occasionally like to read a Raritwi story but a lot of them kind of ignore or gloss over his feelings but I think you covered it very well. Thanks for the entertaining read.
This was a cute, entertaining story. While it is a bit tell heavy, that's understandable since a fair chunk of it is Twilight's log. The last bit about Spike was great also.
Have a thumbs up.
It's a cute, short read. Rarilight isn't something that I see too much of, but this was a nice piece. However, one thing I noticed is that you seem to lean a little heavily on the comma key. For example:
Only really needs one comma at "thank you dear, but" with the comma before but instead of after. The comma after gorgeous doesn't need to be there at all. It seems like you put it there because it's where the speaker would take a breath even though it isn't necessary grammatically. If it makes you feel any better, I have the same problem whenever I try to write.
And again here. The comma would go before "but" instead of after. There are other instances throughout the story, but these were easiest to note. It's like Twilight said: "A little more attention couldn't hurt, right?"
Bro-tier Spike is best dragon. A guy does something like that, you buy him a beer.
Way to take one for the team spike.

Lovely little story. I especially loved that last line, you go Spike
Aww...that ending, just twisted my heartstrings. Bravo.
Why did you stop? This needs MORE!

Spike...
That was adorable. Makes me want to see a continuation of some kind.

Gah, So many people want more outta this! I just don't know what to do! Lol. Seriously though. I don't. I could maybe think of something for a sequel but I dunno how to do it.

Hehe no pressure man, from what I can tell that's one of the highest praises a one shot can receive. If you get ideas for a continuance great, if not it's not the end of the world. Write whatever comes to you and we'll all read it.

There are a handful of minor errors, but nothing big enough to keep you out of the Library. Still, if you get a chance, maybe you could do a good proofreading once-over.

So, yeah. I wanna thank you all in the Library for that. It was quite the awesome feeling to open notifications and see this story suddenly in it.
Thank yall for your consideration and acceptance.
WOOOO! We've hit 1000 views!
Great story!
Spike's a good guy. He was willing to help get his mother/sister and the love of his life together, even though it most likely caused him pain. Also, he did well, not good. I noticed a few places where you forgot to capitalize, but otherwise a great story!
3725137 "You done good" was done that way on purpose. But thanks for the comment! Friggin surprised so often to see some of my stories get so many views and such.
And good guy Spike saved the day! But that was as cute as it could get.
Love it

spike....
one thing to say for you.
Aww that was soo sweet!!
I like revisiting old stories.
This one is permanently saved in my bookmarks
Spike.
You deserve every moustache ever posted on this website.
This story was adorable and Spike was so awesome for helping Twilight like that.
If I was there I'd pat spike on the back. that was the greatest thing he could of done for twilight

^~^ Thank ya, thank ya.
SPPPPIIIIIIKKEEEEEE ;–;
Good job Spike
That was big of Spike for doing that. If I could, I would bake him a sapphire cake
6830312 Right? I'm not a fan of spike. At all. But in this I honestly couldn't help but give him a pat on the back. He definitely "Done good"
Spike, you have the Brother of the Year Award
Spike, brutha, you definitely done good. A++ work, here.
Short but satisfying. I do like how analytical Twilight approached this, it was rather in character for her and it was refreshing to see her being the bookish nerd we all love.
Ya did good, kid, ya did good.
i find myself coming back to this story. always gives me the fuzzies
