Purveyor of substandard horse-words since 2012. [they/them]
Rarity drops by Twilight's castle with terrible news: her lipstick has gone missing! And what's more, she thinks Spike took it. But why would he do such a thing?
Well, there's only one way to find out. Ask him...
In case the cover art didn't make it obvious, this is a non-binary Spike story. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, kindly go read something else.
Cover art made by me, using a Spike vector that can be found here.

I Seth Standmore belief that Spike can be free to express theirselve however they Wish, and if they are nonbarnaby then I will STAND MORE WITH SPIKE, dragon's do not need to gander
Very good little story. I'm a fan of stories where Spike and Rarity can be direct with each other about their feelings, and while this isn't the route I'd usually take towards that end, Rarity was sympathetic to why Spike did what he did after her initial surprise. Twilight was too, despite her initial instinct to tell him off for stealing Rarity's stuff -- realistically neither of them entirely "got it" but they at least understood that Spike's gender stuff is personal, and that openly changing it doesn't make him weird... well, no weirder than usual!
All that said, I wonder if Rainbow Dash would be so nice about it prior to a cautionary hoof to the head (I'm so sore about Dragon Quest all these years later...!)
Thanks for the read and I support enby Spike 💄
Sorry about the ratio on your story. I'm learning this is almost inevitable for transgender stories on Fimfic, though it wasn't like this several years ago.

I'm glad you enjoyed my story. I've always liked writing the dynamic between Spike and Rarity (especially since I feel we never got enough of it in the show), and I figured now was no time to shy away from it. Thanks for reading and commenting (and yeah, Dragon Quest was definitely not FIM's high point).

Thanks for the support. I kinda knew what I was getting into, but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. The way I see it, my story gets to be seen by those who want/need to see it, and I get to make a few transphobes salty while I do so. I try not to let bigotry get to me. Some people just want to be angry.
I mean.. it's a straight forward fic, don't really see anything wrong with it, atleast nothing that should generate the current ratio.

I seem to have brought the transphobes out in force.

Well so long as you don't make this kind of stuff political, you should be fine.

To be fair, I don't think human rights or transphobia are "political" issues, though some may try to cast them as such.
Now, if you look at like-dislike ratios on MtF trans stories, you’ll find that very few of them actually have a like-dislike ratio like this. It doesn’t matter that a story getting attention is wildly inconsistent, it only matters that this story has a negative like-dislike ratio. This clearly implies that something is grievously wrong with this apparently inoffensive story because stories that got less attention have better like-dislike ratios and transphobia can’t exist in this day and age of 2021 because I said so. I will not tell you what is wrong with this story, because that would require too much effort, and I need to move onto a different story to make sure this issue gets as little attention as possible.
...
And in case you can’t tell, that is a joke.
In reality, it sucks that you got hit with the enby like-dislike curse. As a fellow writer who has written an enby story with a similarly sorry like-dislike ratio, it really sucks. It’s a perfectly reasonable story, a bit fluffy, but nothing wrong with that. It’s a good story and I enjoyed reading it. Take a like to hopefully combat that negative like-dislike ratio.

Oh of course, it's just.. almost everything seems to be tainted with some sort of political stuff these days, it's a real drag.

It shouldn’t be an argument, except that everybody decides that treating humans with human decency should be political.
Great story!! This is adorably sweet :))
Enby Spike :D
Nice.
This was really nice! Generally stories like this have at least one character who was already familiar with nonbinary concepts, but it was interesting having everyone be new to this and trying to figure it out.
I love this story so much, and I constantly re-read it. If you write a story based on NONE EXISTENT MEET CUTE I would literally die on the spot. (It's a song by Vylet Pony about an adult non binary Spike letting their anger out on Rarity and the way she took advantage of them when they were young.) I love your writing style and I've always wanted to read a fanfiction of Spike discovering who they are and finally snapping. Please please let me know if you ever do! As an enby this is cathartic and I'm craving more!
