Now go read all about Rarity below and thanks to Whisper Key for scouting them for us!
Slice of Life
Eternity by Taialin
https://www.fimfiction.net/
The greatest displays of strength are not always the most overt. Fluttershy is not whom one would consider to be a strong pony. But when Rarity digs a little deeper, she discovers in her friend a strength that carries the weight of hundreds.
Study of Generosity by PaulAsaran
https://www.fimfiction.net/
A month ago, Scootaloo made the mistake of suggesting generosity was nothing more than looking rich and throwing things at less fortunate ponies. Rarity set her straight, and Scoots has a much better appreciation for the concept.
But when she asks Rainbow Dash about it, she's treated to a view of Rarity she didn't expect. Rarity's done things in the past that don't mesh with the generous lifestyle she introduced Scootaloo to. Does that mean everything Rarity showed her was a lie? Is Rarity just a greedy, envious, corrupt fraud?
Scootaloo has to know more.

A Simple Raid? by WhispersInTheDark
https://www.fimfiction.net/
The USS Exeter, still damaged after a recent battle, scans a certain planet and finds evidence of much-needed dilithium crystals on the surface. Scans also show it's a pre-warp civilization, so the Prime Directive is in full force.
But they need those crystals, as the nearest starbase is hundreds of lightyears away. They only need a few pounds of them to repair their warp drive, then they can be back on course. How hard could it be to beam in, get the crystals from the primitives, and beam out?
What they don't know about is the white unicorn who's been using them for her dresses.
Those poor fools...
Bifröst by Carabas
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Wherein unreasonably well-groomed Vikings crash a wedding.
Discontinued by Estee
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Finding one's ideal assemblage of beauty products is somewhat more complicated than discovering the perfect mate: after all, when it comes to love, a mare has but to locate one pony. It's taken years for Rarity to learn what works best for her: in some cases, the only things which work at all. Which means that having a crucial shampoo (her only shampoo!) taken out of the mix may create something of a minor issue.
Well, it's surely nothing which a proper lady can't deal with in dignity and grace. Also explosions.
She's still a Bearer. There's always explosions.
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. by Tumbleweed
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity's decided to break up with Applejack, but were they even an item in the first place? And, perhaps more importantly, what does Applejack have to say about it?
Hijinks, of course, will ensue.
Feedback by Curly Q
https://www.fimfiction.net/
After Rainbow Dash's magnum opus fan-fiction, Daring Do and the Ring of Destiny, fails to attract the response from her editor, Rarity, that she expected, she copes with her feelings of rejection in a manner befitting of her established reputation: by parking her cloud mansion above the boutique and drenching it in a watery apocalypse.
Punk Saves Hearth's Warming by Pen Stroke
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity and Discord are sent on a mission by the friendship map during the holiday season. Can they save Hearth's Warming for these Manehatten fans of the punk aesthetic, or will they only cause more chaos.
It's probably going to be a little bit of both.
Resident Weevil by Estee
https://www.fimfiction.net/
There's really no way to prevent it. No matter how careful you are, regardless of one's dedication to personal cleanliness, they're going to get in eventually. And for most ponies, it's a moment of deep gross-out, followed by scrubbing down their entire pantry, kicking out far too much of what's in it, and ending with a regretfully expensive shopping trip to replace what was lost.
But this is Rarity. The situation was unacceptable. And her intention was to take out the problem at the source.
Now if she can just find a way of explaining that to the jury...
Sad/Dark

On top of it all, there's a new leader running the show: a mysterious unicorn known as Lady Mari who protects the town in exchange for their servitude.
For some reason Twilight and Rarity can't shake the feeling that they've seen this all before. But that can't be true—this is just another friendship problem, right?

City of Lights by garatheauthor
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity sits in her living room, far from Canterlot, enjoying what is to be her last glass of wine for the evening. Before her is a pad of paper, to record her thoughts, and a cocktail of narcotics that will be more than adequate at ending her life.
Another life lost in the City of Lights.
i know The End by The Red Parade
https://www.fimfiction.net/
The end is rainy cafes and half-empty teacups.
The end is rusty playgrounds with clouds overhead.
The end is whispered conversations swirling around you.
The end is storm sirens screaming in the air.
Rarity knows the end.
That doesn't mean she's come to terms with it.
