Spike goes to the bar at night, every night, to drink by himself. Rainbow Dash sits in the stool next to him. In each passing moment, the gap between them becomes smaller and smaller.

Until there is nothing separating them.

This story is inspired by the song St. Eriksplan by Low Roar. It was also written in a sleepy daze.

Hey, this is pretty good!

Odd and unpopular pairing, but sometimes a good story can be found for it. It's no necessarily my ultimate favorite Spike ship, but it's interesting to see how things can play out. This is by far the best one I've read. Kudos!!

Gosh darnit B, here I was, having an alright day, and now you come along and write this and goddamn. I didn't need those tears. now I have to go read all your other amazing shit when I'm supposed to be working.

I truly believe that a well written story can honestly make many if not all ships work, and you’ve done just that! I loved wondering what it was Spike did that caused all of this, and the execution of it was really well done and fit the story. Didn’t feel out of place or anything. This was a REALLY good read and just what I needed to get in the writing mood myself. Definitely going to come back sometime and give this a reread.

The Thumbnail Makes me feel Very UNCOMFORTABLE.

Wh-where am I?
How did I get on this ship??

You should right more in your sleep. You're one of those masters who can do amazing things when sleepy.

Short yet beatiful, really liked it.

More unconventional spike ships please

Surprisingly good does not properly do this justice, but this was surprisingly good. The story was deep without being pretentious and without hampering itself with to much back story. It's what I like in a deep story, it says a lot without saying too much.

Haven't seen a rainbow dash and spike story in a while, great job on this one building the story!^^

Such a beautiful story! SpikeDash is a ship I've searched high and low for in the past, but so rarely stumbled across.

It makes me unreasonably happy to see SpikeDash on the featured box...I can't remember the last time that's happened.
I miss Vexy.

I couldn't fall asleep so I decided to read this, It was even better than I thought it was gonna be, and I thought it was gonna be epic.

I do too.

Nice, read!:moustache::rainbowdetermined2:

I love the story. I wish it wasn't a one-shot but what can you do.

I love stories like this, where there is so much more going on than what's on the tin, and how it teases the brain to figure out what happened just prior.

Well done.

That was really good

Oh wow, I love this. A prequel and a sequel to this would be absolutely great, if it ever gets written!

I need more of this please? This was wonderful.

So from what I gather from this,Rarity is getting mugged, so Spike kills the guy (burned to ashes maybe?), And ponies being the nonviolent species they are, turn Spike into a pariah (I assume he didn't face much in the way of legal ramifications as Rarity's life was at stake) and Rarity decides to break it off with Spike to save her career. The rest of the Mane 6 are also disgusted to varying degrees (except Rainbow).

Man, poor Spike.

i kinda want to see a sequal to see what happens after this.

It’s always good to see why Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty.

Good gods dude, but you do romance so well :heart:
