"So wise, so young, they say, do never live long."
-William Shakespeare, Richard III Act 3, Scene 1

Spike has always felt a certain sense of distance from Twilight and her friends. As much as he loves them, he's never felt like he belonged with them.

So, when Luna and Celestia offer him a way to find himself, a way to temper his metal in the fires of battle, he takes them up on it. How was he to have known this was simply the beginning of the end?

With great fear and excitement in his heart, Spike makes a sacred voyage to the home of the ancient Dragons and learns a thing or two about himself.

This story came to me in a dream.
Rated Dark for a slight murder description, not much.
Rated Teen for some dark scenes and death.
Applespike not Carajack (Although I ship it)
I haven't written much Applejack so there you go.

This story is going to be heavily revised and edited. There will be an announcement for re-release. Please stand by.

Five years have past since Twilight and the Sparkle’s welcomed Spike with open arms into their home. Starting middle school should be easy for the young boy, right? If only things were so simple.

The reality is anything but. For once in his life Spike Sparkle wants someone to notice his pain, something he fought so hard to keep concealed in the past. But when the people you trust the most are too busy dealing with their own lives, sometimes you end up falling through the cracks. A lesson the little boy had learned all too well growing up, before and after meeting Twilight Sparkle.

Since moving in with the Sparkles, Spike never felt more alone in a house full of people. So when his family expects everything to be fine, how long can he keep up the charade?

The truth is never hidden for long, it wants to be told. When it finally is, and the young boy is pushed to the breaking point, it will change everything for him; and for the girl that changed his life.

Featured the day it went up, 12/21! Thank you so all so much for everything. Moonlit and I were absolutely shocked!

My father abandoned me, my mother disappeared, my sister a traitor. All I have left is the tattered remains of my honor, and the only thing keeping me going is my will.

Prince Zuko has lost his honor and is no longer sure if the path he had originally chosen to follow is the one he wants anymore. When his uncle, Dragon of the West, Iroh gives him advice the former prince travels through the streets of Ba Sing Se in an attempt to find the one that can guide him down the right path he so greatly desires.

However when Zuko meets this man, he finds the man to be in fact a spirit. A spirit that has helped countless other souls through both the spirit world and earth reach inner peace. And now the spirit has sent Zuko to Equestria to find a means of peace there. With Zuko now stuck in a world he does not understand nor care much about the exiled prince must figure out a way to return home and avoid the ponies of Equestria all while struggling with his emotional turmoil.

The question still remains though; can Zuko's indomitable will be broken with the challenges he will face in this world, or will he fight his way back home and find inner peace as well?

Time is all that can tell.

Set after Book 2 of ATLA.

Sombra, or whatever it is the Crystal Heart left behind, has ventured forth and conquered his new domain behind the till at a McTrotnald's joint in Manehattan. As he seeks to consolidate and expand his newfound kingdom he quickly finds a host of potential new subjects to subjugate befriend. If only they weren't mostly mafia, bat gangs, changeling yakuza and bicycle ponies complete wackos after his hot sexy plot power and might....

Coco Pommel, a decent definitely-not-thestral, lives a decent life, works a decent job, earns a decent living. She is certain the fashion house she works for, Mane Event, is going places, even if it's currently stuck on the second floor above a McTrotnald's joint. She is oblivious to the fact that she is the much-coveted object of adoration of many stallions. She is oblivious to many things. But she finds it hard to be oblivious to the ruckus that comes from that fast food restaurant downstairs, harder still to resist getting dragged in...

Neither expected to ever end up stuck together, at least not this way. But as they quickly learn, there's no living on expectations in the poor but lively Manehattan slums of the Four Hooves District. Together with the band of misfits and social outcasts that make up their lives they must go out and seize it - their Midnight Empire.

Contains the following strong themes underneath: struggling against oppression, discrimination and biggotry, poverty and desperation,. This is a story of unity in diversity, of love and friendship that transcends differences, and the pursuit of freedom.
