"To be the one doing the teasing for a change," said Spike. Rainbow rolled her eyes, but smirked to match Spike's. "I was just messing with you, anyway. You don't need to bribe me, Dash. I'm happy to help."
That's sweet of you. I like that Spike is still a good guy,
“Better than okay, sweetcheeks. Just… I don’t say it enough, I guess.” Truth be told, Rainbow wasn’t really talking to Twily just then. She knew that the person that her words were really intended for couldn’t hear her, not yet, but that didn’t matter. The message would get across soon enough. “I want you to know it, even if I kinda suck at, y’know. Communicating, or whatever it is couples do.”
Rainbow Dash fluttered up the stairs, checking her watch as she did. Her trip had taken a bit longer than She (no capital) anticipated, but there was no sense in worrying about that now. Nothing to be done, and besides, it's not as if she had left the castle abandoned. Spike was a responsible kid, and he was more than capable of watching over the place, and Twily, in Rainbow's absence.
...How can this story be so sweet and so funny at the same time? There are so many stories I've read, both smut and non, that don't even come close to being this good at it
And yes, the above emoticons are intentionally the way they are
Believe it or not, I wrote this entire story just so I could write this scene, of Twily asking Rainbow to read to her. How cathartic.
I believe it; the attention to detail and tenderness of this chapter shines among the other already-glistening jewels you've written. It's scenes like these that remind me why I had a changeling: pure, unfettered love is simply the best.
"Hm? Oh, just one of Spike's comics." Rainbow stretched her arm over to the nightstand, grabbing up the comic in question. "Let's see… Power Ponies #32: The Mane-iac Returns. Not something I normally read, but it was there so, I gave it a go. Looks pretty good so far."
You’d think they’d be a bit more careful around that particular series of comics at this point, but I suppose Spike probably only got the one from that shop…

It's the little touches, it really is.
That's fucking adorable. In every sense of that sentence.

It's always something, eh? Serves me right for trying to write on my phone...
Thanks for catching that

Android is NOTORIOUS for assuming "Stupid human, this is what you really meant."
Aw, I hope we get to see more Spike on Twi stuff before the story is over.
