The life expectancy of a dragon is different from that of an Alicorn pony, but love knows no boundaries. Through life and death, a mother promises that she will always be there for her son.
It won't be easy.
My last-minute, but hopefully not too rushed entry for Perfectly Insane's No Dialogue Contest!
This is my first time participating in a contest. Wish me luck!

Well...congratulations. This story broke my heart. It was beautifully written, and it's ending felt amazing. Great job for your first time.

Can I fix your heart with some 🤗 ?
I haven't been doing too well lately, but I feel like this story has put me out of my slump a little.
Thank you for that, I enjoyed reading your first crack at a contest.

Yeah. Honestly, if there was dialog here, I would be balling my eyes out.
12145405
But seriously, great job on the story. *Dries my tears*
12145405
But yeah, I'll take the hug too.

If I could contribute to your well-being that way, you just made my day with this comment!

Glad to hear that.
Beautiful. I will always be a sucker for Twilight being Spike's de facto mom. Nowadays it's a rarity (pun not intended) for stories to use the angle that Spike could be the one to outlive the others, including Twilight, and it wouldn't just be Twilight hurting when the rest of the Mane 6's time came.
Even though I do prefer Spike and Twilight having a brother sister relationship, this story is too beautiful for me to care, you did a great job
It's so beautiful.

It felt like an interesting take on the "one character outlives the others trope", cutting Twilight some slack so to speak. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, its a bit annoying that people are having Twilight angsting she outlived all of her friends, but forgot that Spike would still be alive(if not immortal too)

I reckon I'd still feel devastated if I were in here hooves. Immortality sucks! But it's also true that she still has Spike, Cadence and other Alicorns to help...

Thanks a lot

Thank you!

I think this is the only recent fic too touching on the fact Spike will outlive everyone too.
I still think that Twilight would outlive Spike. It never said how old Torch was so we don't know how long Dragons live but Celestia and Luna were over 1,000.

Spike outliving everypony fitted better with the theme I chose for the story, but I get your point.

For the sake of the story, it works well.
As someone with mild autism, I have difficulty handling strong emotions. When one comes along, I tend to freak out. Thus, when I say this story nearly gave me a panic attack, know that that is the highest praise for a story of this genre I can give.

I was diagnosed with autism and ADHT myself, and writing this story was as much a hardship as it was a blessing. The story itself contains a subtle reference to a traumatizing MLP fan video I once watched on Youtube, dealing with the subject of grief and loss, which hurted me so much I had to go to therapy (I still do), so I get what you mean. Handling emotions can be harrowing for the likes of us.
Giving people panic attacks is no passion of mine, but since it rythms with the highest form of praise in your case, just know that I feel the sincerest form of gratitude in return!
It got me Little tears got in my eyes this was good this was good
