Slice of Life
A Beautiful Heart by Starswirl the Beardless [5k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity is a busy mare, but such is the life of an up-and-coming young fashionista like her. Between designing her newest gowns, overseeing multiple shops in multiple cities, all while managing to maintain her social life, she hardly has time for anything else. There are some things, however, some ponies, that she will always have time for, such as that little red-headed filly gazing through her window of her boutique.
Hoofballistic by Estee [16k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
It's reached the point of ritual. Every year, on the day the inductees are announced, the sisters wait for the courier to bring the news. And every year, their father fails to gain the hoofball athlete's ultimate honor: induction into the Immortal Livery, and a bronze statue within the Legendarium. By one vote. And in their opinion, he's been taking it a little too well.
But this year, he's going to attend the ceremony -- so he can provide the induction speech for his greatest rival. And he's invited his daughters along. A chance to trot among the greats of the game, and a day out as a family. That's how he sees it.
Rarity and Sweetie see it as a chance to find out why their father hasn't been voted in.
In the interests of attendee safety, all sewing needles will be confiscated at the door.

Busy as they all are, Twilight Sparkle always makes sure to carve out a bit of time from her week to spend with each of her friends, and they all do the same. That's what friends do: make time for each other.

Disaster Rarity by HapHazred [2k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity doesn't have the best track record with love. Not one bit. And she knows it. She's about to talk about it, actually. It's going to take a while. You might want to sit down for this one.
She's not bitter about it. Not at all.
Empire Pony Wrap by Estee [9k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
The Empire is starting to see a little more tourist traffic. The tourists, however, are having trouble seeing anything. When every native surface in the nation offers a choice of 'reflective or refractive?' -- well, it's rather easy to spend their entire vacation stumbling into buildings, usually right next to the door.
Cadance is working on the problem. But she can only treat the walls. The crystal ponies aren't going to cover themselves... unless a certain designer can get them interested in the foreign concept of 'clothing'.
It's a challenge fit for an artist!
Or a madmare.
When you hire Rarity, you usually get both.
Sad/Dark
Just Give Me a Reason by SleepIsforTheWeak [4k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
She waited for Rarity’s face to bloom into softness, the way it always did when Rainbow made some big romantic gesture like this. Rarity’s face stayed impassive. But she smiled. It was a smile that was reserved and slightly tired—barely genuine. The warmth in it was quiet, self-contained.
And that’s when Rainbow’s entire world came crashing down.
She did not need her any longer.

Gift Givers by Art Inspired [10k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
When a landslide hits the Pie Family Rock Farm following the previous night's rain shower, Maud of all ponies becomes troubled after seeing so many different crystals all at once. It was because of how the glow they gave off remind her of Rarity, and the time they spent in Manehatten. Although she did an amazing job at not showing it to anypony face to face, Maud would be emotionally touched anytime something shiny came into her view. Considering the sudden change of events, however, she hadn't much choice but to be near them. After sifting through numerous amounts of gemstones scattered as far as the eye could see, Maud ends up finding possibly the most beautiful diamond of them all, and aims to send it to Rarity as a gift.
The only other pony to discover all of this was even happening would be Marble, Maud Pie's sister.

To Maud, Rarity is a gem worth considering and protecting.

https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity’s eyes were shut, and the velvety darkness behind her eyelids was soft and comforting as Opalescent’s fur. The only sound was the crackling of the logs on the fire, and the only sensation the delicious rise and fall of her marefriend’s ribcage.
In Everything But Name by Monochromatic [11k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
A relationship is not always so easy to define, especially when the ponies involved are drawn in different directions. Yet it turns out that sometimes the answer to your problems really do lie in books. Even if you have to write them yourself.
Faced with the implications and changes brought about by Twilight's coronation, Rarity must contend with what it might mean for their relationship. A relationship, you see, that lives and dies by the dozens of books quietly stashed away in the back of her closet.
One day, she hopes, she'll be able to give them back.
Okay To Do This by themoontonite [2k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity is getting older. She tries not to think about it most days. She usually suceeds! There's just one problem; one nagging thought that won't leave her head no matter how busy she is. She's running out of time. For as much as she's accomplished in the world there's still one thing missing from the perfect life she dreamed of all those years ago: a wife. A ring. A promise, in sickness and in health, to love and be loved in return.
Twilight Sparkle may have hundreds of years but Rarity does not.

https://www.fimfiction.net/
Magical surges happen at the worst possible times.
Like, say, when you're carrying a box full of holiday ornaments and you suddenly become super-strong and crush it.
Applejack is currently very familiar with that.
Fortunately she also has Rarity on speed dial, and a friend's skill with fine detail work is just the tool Applejack needs right now.

https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity finally has a chance to make dresses for a princess! All her friends will be so jealous.
Heaven below but what above?
A world without Masters to love?
A world without Celestia's order?
Things beyond the system border?
Are we just to sit in fear?
That what was far will soon be near?
Something, something must be done.
Wars unwaged must now be won.
Our noble star can bear no rival!
Above all pony survival.
