Prior to moving back to Canterlot, Spike takes his first vacation all by himself. He's surprised to bump into Rarity (secretly Pharynx) at his destination, but maybe this will give him the opportunity for closure on their toxic relationship. ("Closure" means realizing he likes guys and publicly losing his virginity to a cute buggo.)

Spike will do crazy things for love, but when he learns that King Thorax wants to share his life with him, will the necessary changes be too much for the teen dragon to handle?

The first chapter was written for the 2021 Summer Sin Celebration as a gift for Yoshikage Kira. More chapters are planned.
