Spike was the strangest of dragons, living his charmed life so far removed from his heritage. Knowing so much. How to be a good friend. How to be a hero.

How to have fun.

But actually being a dragon? Not so much. Barely at all, really.

Ember didn't know what to make of her friendship with the little drake, but she did know two things. Spike needed a teacher, a proper dragon teacher, to show him the way.

And second, that this was going to be fun.

Spike poisons Rarity and he takes it way too far by trying to revive her.

This story is a sequel to To Love as His Own

Following the defeat of Queen Chrysalis, the princesses of Equestria seek to build a relationship with newly-crowned King Thorax and forge an alliance between ponies and changelings that has never been seen before.

While the changelings adjust to the broad, sympathetic intricacies of shared love magic, Thorax works to embrace his role as the hive's new patriarch, demonstrating a benevolent rule far different from his predecessor. Through sleeping and resting together in groups, he aims to cultivate harmony and empathy in a once turbulent hive and find a place for himself within it at last.

With the help of Equestrian royalty, a few good friends, and his brooding older brother, Thorax must now champion the idea of peaceful changelings in Equestria and show the world that his kind can change more than just their looks.

However, that changes when he meets a filly by the name of Lily Longsocks, whose raw strength might even rival his own.
It is from this filly that Big Mac will learn where a stallion truly draws his strength.

Three years have passed since the War of the Wedding, when an invasion force assaulted Canterlot and revealed Changelings to the world. Fear, driven into the hearts of ponies, has given them a new boogeymare to hunt, it would seem.

To Vanessa and her family, it's life as usual one grey and gloomy Canterlot morning, though not for long...

This story is a sequel to Sounds of Lunacy

Celestia's latest prank against her sister was a resounding success. But now Luna has sworn revenge, and she will stop at nothing to get back at Celestia. For her part, Celestia is confident that nothing Luna has planned can possibly get to her.

Well, except perhaps one thing.

All her life, a certain girl always believed that she didn't need friends. She studied for years to master the awesome powers within her. She turned to books to escape the world she lived in and the destiny that awaited her. That girl isn't Twilight Sparkle, her name is Raven. And now, she's in Ponyville... although, why is she waking up as a rabbit?

(I'll be honest, this idea came to me mostly because Tara Strong voices both characters. However as I took it into my mind and developed the idea, it just struck me that it might actually be a more interesting story than I'm giving it credit for. Also, if anyone can find a good cover-art for this story I'd appreciate it. The cover-art for this story was drawn by me!)

John is alone on this world and has not seen a single soul in a long time. His only companions have been the ghosts only he can hear. Driven by guilt, he goes from town to town, searching and doing the only thing he can do:

Give the dead their final rest.

Discord once gave him a gift. It was given in grief. John has yet to understand what this gift means. He has lost track of time and madness and sanity wage a constant war in his mind.

For John, the greatest terror in his heart is facing the Goddesses.

He's about to meet one of them.

I would like to credit Antsan, Lightning Ferron, and two anonymous users (who stumbled across this and decided to make some edits of their own) for helping me edit this story.

Princess Celestia wants to establish diplomatic relations with the mushroom kingdom and Rarity is sent to make a good impression. Unfortunately the island where the meeting between rulers will be held is covered in a sticky paint-like goop, and Rarity is apparently to blame. Meanwhile the true culprit, a shadowy version of Rarity, is on the loose and has foalnapped Sweetie Belle.
It is up to Rarity to clean the island, rescue Sweetie Belle, and win the favor of the islanders before time runs out.
Will she succeed?
Will she thwart Shadow Rarity goopy plan?
Will she ever get to enjoy this island resort?
