This short story filled my head when I was feeling a bit of strain from writing my current serial work, The Power Of Names so I wrote it to help clear my buffers. Apparently, it was worth sharing, so here it is. Constructive comments and ratings make me happy, so if you enjoyed it, please encourage my literary exhibitionism.

Sorry that I couldn't edit the font size to make the all caps text a bit smaller.

The word count is intentional, but otherwise irrelevant.

Lol "Short" ITS OVER 9000!!!!:flutterrage:

I really enjoyed this. I loved the Pratchettesque Death of Dragons, and the self-destructive nature of Rarity's generosity. But I especially loved the depiction of Spike - his desperation, his older competence, his struggle with the draconic side of his nature as opposed to the morals instilled by his nuture. Really excellent, well done!

Sounds interesting...

Yo, it says that the story isn't complete yet. Are you planing on continuing it? Wait, let me answer that for you: YES!!!:flutterrage:

Derp on setting to incomplete, fixed now. Sorry, but this story is complete and whole. This version of Spike was really fun to write about though, if inspiration for another story in this continuity takes hold, I'll let the words fall where they will.

I do not often rate things 5. This is one of those times.

Phenomenal story! I sure hope you eventually decide to do something else.

awsome story really was. i would like to have a ending where spike does the life gifts himslef so his life was near to that of his friends and he hooked up with rarity but thats mostly because i love the super happy endings were nothing bad happens. never the less it really was amazing really really was amazing

I tried to add a cover image, upload from URL wasn't working, it just silently failed. I thought maybe it got locked when mods approved so I revoked the story and tried again with no luck, but uploading from file worked, weird. Anyway, thanks again to http://bobbilcon.deviantart.com/ for the awesome cover image!

I must admit, I haven't read all of this story due to its length. However I had read a lot of it, and I must admit it is a brilliantly written and well thought out story. Well done, well done indeed!

Superb! The story is melancholy, romantic, and it shows the darker consequences of caring too much. Fantastic job! :raritycry:

This is one of the best final lines in any fic ever in my opinion. It's very strong emotionally and really shows off Spike's dedication.

This is a very good story. I enjoyed the dragon magic and how they were all in character. Towards the end you scared me that it would need a sad tag but it all turned out all right. Thanks for an awesome fic :raritystarry:

This is awesome! Excuse me while I expel stone liquid feels.
