That DOES IT! Spike has had enough. He won't deal with Twilight anymore. Not when she can get so mean and yell so loud. He'll go off somewhere else. Somewhere where he can be alone. Curled beneath a hill, he hears a gentle voice call for him.
Sunset has decided to return home... wherever that may be? The orphanage where she was left? The castle where the princess had emotionally abandoned her? She walks the foreign but familiar world, hoping to find something to make her life worthwhile.
The weak Princess sits on her throne. Guards—and a dragon—keep monsters behind the door. The Elements concentrate on a spell. Fewer guards return in each instance. And more of Spike is eaten by non-existence.
Spike has always, maybe, sorta KINDA had a crush on Fluttershy. Only, he doesn't believe he's dragon enough to deserve her. When Twilight (accidentally) transforms him into a ferret, he's left in Fluttershy's care. Can he become more than a pet?
Twilight stumbles home and to the scene of a murder. Spike stands before a corpse. When she asks him what happened, all he can ask her is: "What do you mean?"
Spike falls through a void that opens at his feet; none of the girls care that he is falling through the world. And he'll have peace once he has fallen to the bottom of the abyss.
Twilight Sparkle isn't known for randomness. Pinkie Is. But Twilight isn't being normal, so Pinkie has to be abnormal to her usual normal! To... solve the mystery... and stuff. There was also something about a backrub?
Decades change within a blink. The banishment of a sister, the loss of a student, has caused Princess Celestia to be distant when it comes to family. However, a baby dragon burns through her defence... but her past failures cause her to let go.
Spike has survived the strain of daily life to find himself empty inside. Proven a worker, a friend, and a proper dragon—that search for 'something' never ends. Finally, on being led by a feeling, he winds up before Princess Celestia without reason.
Greatness is a desire created by fantasies. Rarity has always wanted to be the greatest fashionista, and Spike the greatest hero. Yet when they get what they want, they find themselves empty instead. The two then enjoy a weekend together.
"You'd be more useful if you were a rug beneath my hooves." Seconds passed. "If it meant you would step all over me? I would gladly transform into a carpet." A groan. "Shut it, jerk." And then Starlight and Spike went off to rule the world.
The days are the same and the nights are like any other. In the kitchen for her evening wine, a mare shares a glass with a time-travelling dragon, who can barely say more than the word 'Yes.'
Dragons are terrifying for none can hear the words inside the roars. Fluttershy, the only pony to understand them, is silent and terrified for a different reason. The girls are attacked by a foul group, but are saved by a silent, purple dragon.
3 AM is a tough time to be awake. Thankfully for Spike and Rarity, though, they don't have to be alone as well. They write each other letters. Rambles from them both. Whatever it takes to get through the night. Then the letters stopped.
Spike and Rarity are the break-up, make-up, break-up to only make up couple. Something pushes them apart and another force pulls them together. Their friends tell them to keep apart. What will be different about this break-up? A dance in the snow.
Pip goes to visit the CMC on the weekend to test out their device... WHICH SHRINKS HIM! Can he survive the three giant girls? That. And be found by them?
Shane is an ordinary working brony that finds a splash of life in a show he loves. One evening, though, the episodes go on for longer, capturing more so life than plot, with the happenings on screen... effecting his room. That. And mares are giants!
Twilight is desperate for love—and that desperation dooms her chances for it. Taken to a bar on an other-worldly night, her failure of flirting runs her into Spike. Gone for months yet a regular here. She requests his help in finding love.
Spike is her number-one assistant and that will never change. Even in her becoming a greater princess he has not failed in that role. Isn't it odd how a dragon can compensate for a castle? Twilight discovers his secret... and must save him from it.
Vanilla becomes shrunk by Fluttershy during one of Rarity's weekly visits. Both of them try to find him. Stomping hooves and other such side-effects of being giants ensues.
Spike hears a cry that none else can hear. It grows during isolation and whispers throughout his bones. Twilight assures he's not crazy. But an otherworldly phenomenon beckons the little dragon home.
Spike is sacrificing every second he can to sleeping—not because he is lazy, but so he may be with his love: Princess Luna. Unable to expose their affection to the world, they hide it within a dreamscape. But they crave more. Will the dream end?
Hearts and Hooves day is for all, big and small, and for those, big and small, to find something more between then. Rainbow Dash and Vanilla Beam learn this personally. [Micro]
Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, forced and fused together into nightmare landscape, become a joined, two-headed creature set to quell their daughter's nightmares. Twisted versions of their world compose the journey to stopping Nightmare Sombra.
Spike wakes up to no memory of himself or why he's missing an arm. Someone sleeps against his chest, an angel of white, an apparently formal friend. What does a dragon, forgetting his past, do with his future?
Retirement becomes boring once the relaxation fades. Boredom strikes. Celestia is content; Luna is not. But it's Twilight, sending them on a mission, one like they underwent, countless years ago, to pave dangerous lands into something safe. Together.
Love isn't for him. The young dragon, surrounded by mares, know that none will become his one. Yet it's often when we stop chasing something that it comes to us. Twilight and Starlight pine for the same heart, devising a game for it to win it.
Spike goes to the bar at night, every night, to drink by himself. Rainbow Dash sits in the stool next to him. In each passing moment, the gap between them becomes smaller and smaller. Until there is nothing separating them.
Vanilla Beam has been shrunk smaller than small, in a world gentle to everything but him, friends easily able to save him if only they could see him. Will he be able to survive stomping feet and explosions of winds, finding someone able to save him?
Princess Celestia has always dreamed of climbing a mountain taller than any other, forever kept sacred and impossible inside her mind, that was, until the time was right, and with her sister by her side.
It's been years and he's yet to grow. Spike wants to be with her, with Twilight, but knows... he isn't right for her. Only, she's been hanging with too many stallions not right for her. The bar mostly. Not like her. Will Spike bring her home safely?
Rarity is stressed. Defeated! Orders and deadlines and overwork just the norm. Because of this, Spike goes without his apron, flexing his shredded body all in the hope to make her feel better. Because that's how things work, right?
Nightmare Moon has won. The endless night belongs now to her. Everypony is asleep, trapped inside her dreamscape. Here, and only here, will her favorite prisoners face their flaws—and perhaps reveal something about NM to herself.
A depressed Anon, aided by countless books on psychology and philosophy, tries his luck at being a therapist for the fluffy ponies that surround him. Do ponies even have the problems he deals with? Do ponies even need the help he can offer?
Spike dreams of becoming a true dragon, and with no one to help him, he seeks comfort and training from a returning Tempest Shadow. In the month before she must leave, can she give the strength, skills, wisdom he needs? Two similar souls find solace.
Spike, after being rejected by Rarity, has been dating Sweetie Belle for a few months. Though they love each other, he feels she's trying too much to be like her sister. Can Spike show Sweetie that he loves her and nopony else?
Spike and Scootaloo have been dating for a few months, and while she's been ascending into greatness, he's done nothing with his life. So Spike makes a decision that'll change both of their lives. The only question is... will she say yes?
Cupid's arrow makes ponies fall in love? No problem! Twilight Sparkle makes a love potion with the same result? Oh, hello moral ambiguity! Things only got worse when Rainbow drank the potion... then gazed at me... smiling... oh no...
Writing is expression and education mixed with entertainment. Rainbow Dash tries her hoof at writing her own story (which may or may not steal from Daring Do) but needs Spike's help in editing it. Will these two see something beyond the pages?
Spike's dating life, though uneventful, takes a blow after saving Fluttershy's life. Why? Because she's threatening every mare he comes into contact with! The issue is Spike doesn't like her back, and Rarity's becoming concerned.
I don't love Spike! He's weak, small, sensitive and unlike any dragon I've met! I like him as a friend, of course—he lets me... feel things and express things and a whole lot of other things. Just... can he win this fight to become my fake partner?
Spike and Celestia learn they don't have to live eternity alone. Can they soothe each other mortal wounds? Can they make it across the Badlands to see the Dragon King alive? Will they trust love in a heart that will beat on until forever?
Spike had always caught my eye, but I wasn't expectin' for him to steal my heart. After his fight with Twilight, I thought bringin' him on the farm would help him, not harm us both with a good time. Though I wonder... can I get him to like me back?
Poetry! It's good for you and me. Clears the head and cleanses the soul. If you're lucky, a mare will read them, love them, then maybe love you! So goes Discord's thinking.
Gifted! I have gifted the power of the Skeleton King! I can control the skeletons of all these little ponies! I'm invincible! I am their king! If... if only I didn't have to worry about my mother coming after me...
Claws can be dangerous; claw can be gentle. It's the way they're used that dictates the game. Will Spike be able to see past what ponies think of his claws, all to be able to show them what they're missing out on?
How often have we been invited out, and yet, left alone? Spike knows the pain of being alone at a party, and apparently, so does Princess Luna. What will the two learn about each other as they get progressively drunk throughout the night?
