Plot bunnies that are asking for a good old shotgun blast to the face

Seriously, there are two plot bunnies that just won't leave me alone.

First: King Sombra. I just happened to see a piece of fanart depicting him as an evil counterpart to Twilight. He used to be a simple studying unicorn, though there weren't any schools back then and he tutored himself through sheer willpower. However, he was too weak to actually work most of the spells he had discovered and, in a moment of rage-fueled blindness, he made a pact with the one and only Grogar.

This sounds like a very worthwhile explanation for King Sombrero and a story I would read.

Second: Garble, you know, the red teenage dragon that promised to show Spike how to be a real dragon. In essence, he was, somewhat, offering to become a big brother for our little Spike. Basically, the idea is just that. He keeps his promise. Ideally, the premise would go something like this: Garble, for one reason or another, leaves his gang of bully and comes to Ponyville, because he has nowhere else to go. He would try to justify his visit by saying he already promised Spike and a dragon keeps his word. Of course, the girls wouldn't trust him, nor would Spike, at first. They have a tiny hope that they might reform him though, so they let him stay around, mostly with Spike. From that point on, they exchange, Spike becomes a bit less of a doormat, learns to stand for himself and asks for credit when it is due to him (control his greed, maybe?). On the other hand, Garble changes into a jerk with a hidden heart of gold, mostly toward Spike.

I just want a story that elaborates on a single line of dialogue and that consists of lots and lots of character development.

I'd actually write those stories myself, if I believed I could juggle with them and the already existing project I have. So really, can someone just take those bunnies off my mind?

P.S. Can anyone explain to me how to write Applejack's accent? I have no clue and it's getting a bit imperative that I get one.

Writing Applejack's accent:

Don't.

Write her word choices, the accent will be implied. If you absolutely must, use "Ah" for "I" sparingly, and droppin' trailin' "Gees" from words that end in -ing.

"Why, just a little thought and takin' the time to make her speech plain and folksy ought to make folks think you're writin' Applejack just fine!"
