Spike introduces Ember and his other dragon friends to the magic mirror that leads to the human world.

They are not prepared for the reshaping of their bodies...so much so that they might forget to return home - despite the fact that home is literally a foot away. They would get there if they could just...stop...panicking!

Written for the portal transformations contest!
The cute and cool cover arts above are two artworks combined (which is why they might be a bit blurry; so check out the originals to see their art in all their glory!) They are drawn by the amazing Littletweenframes and Ferrokiva.
Three different pieces of artwork that show interpretations of Ember, here! Plus, a visual for the scene of Garble and Spike as dogs by Isa-Isa!
Also, the story has Ember taller than Spike, just like in show canon; despite the adorable first cover art above.

This idea is slightly based on the lovely story "Paws over Claws" by Quoterific.
This fic contains slight traces of Sparity. This story takes place before season ten, so Twilight and Spike still live in the Crystal Friendship/Harmony castle. :D

Thank you very much for reading my story. More stories should be coming soon!

*3/7/24 - FEATURED!!! YEAH BOOOOOOOIIIIII!
Um, I mean...thank you for my first ever feature!

Yes, the title is named after the song "Who let the dogs out?!"

Garble was orphaned at a young age. Although the dragons of his village helped him, where they could, he mostly raised himself. He had to learn to be tough, strong, and most importantly how to fend for himself.

Even with his life he couldn't help but have a fantasy about one day finding his parents lost egg and raising it himself. Too bad that egg turned out to be Spike.

After Kidnapping Spike and revealing his heritage, surely the little hatchling would never want to leave again. Who knows maybe Spike can teach his brother that it is okay to be soft. At least in some ways.

Warning
Spanking, Yaoi / Gay (Spike and Garble have a purely brotherly / parental relationship and although there are several same-sex relationships, romance is not the focus. This is a family focused fic), Dragon species and characters used from "How to Train Your Dragon" and other franchises (just so I can avoid creating a lot of original characters)

When you decide to travel or move out from your parent's place, it can be tough, especially when it’s from emotions.

Garble has won the Gauntlet of Fire and taken the Bloodstone Scepter. Upon hearing of this, Celestia, determined to stop the bloodthirsty Dragon Lord in his tracks, challenges him to a one-on-one duel for the fate of Equestria and the Dragonlands. An immortal alicorn capable of moving the sun with millennia of experience under her belt versus a teenaged dragon with no experience at all.

Garble accepts.

Stupider things have probably happened, but it's hard to say how.

All Luna wanted was a nice day off. Being bothered by hotheaded young dragons was not part of the plan. And trying to deal with it only lead to the dragon becoming even more annoying.
Something is going on, and Luna does not have the patience to figure it out.

The foolish drake is going to get tired of getting flung off mountains at some point.
Right?

Heartfire. a tradition the Dragons had for years is shortly coming around the corner, Princess Ember explains to Spike while finding a mate for a dragon he will be Challenged for a fight. Ember sends her best guard to get Spike trained and ready for Heart fire.

Will Spike be able to get over his little crush on Ember and finally use this Tradition to ask her out? or will he be too late or will he have to use his claws to show her how much he cares.

It's the deliberately coldest autumn day in recorded Ponyville history and Rainbow Dash, who's setting up the last of the weather conditions, has the town pretty much to herself as every other pony huddles indoors, hiding from the chill. This would normally mean a morning where nopony takes a single glance at her and decides she's a talking map with nothing better to do than personally guide them wherever they need to go, no matter how many hours it takes. And in fact, nopony does.

Just one familiar, arrogant jerk of a teenage dragon who wants to know how he can get to a certain cave -- and believes Rainbow has nothing better to do than take him there...

"When an hateful dragon looses his ability to fly and meets a Pegasus who just wants to help, what will happen? Will she heal his wing as well as his heart?"

It's a GarbleShy Ship and I hope every one enjoy's it. So with out further ado, Allons Y!

Garble's mother, Aase, has never told her son about his father, and for good reason. Now that Garble has gotten older since he last asked about his father, Aase feels it's time for Garble to know about his father.

(NOTE: Contains the topic of abusive relationships. If you are sensitive about this topic, then you may leave this story if the topic makes you uncomfortable.)

Spike and Ember's hard work together in the Gauntlet of Fire failed. Neither retrieved the blood sceptur or became Dragon Lord. But neither did Grable. Equestria was safe, for a while. The new Dragon Lord later decided that Equestria was done and has unleashed all dragons under his command to rampage and destroy Equestria. Some Dragons really hate ponies, others just want their pillows. No matter what the reason, it means pony blood must be shed.

The war has been waging for several years. The Wonderbolts were easily outmatched in the air. Project Alicorn Wings was started to reclaim the skies and support the ground troops who were also hunting the Dragons. Unicorns and Earth Ponies join their Pegasus brothers in the air, using steel wings and behind guns, busting up and killing dragons whenever they come to threaten their homes.

Defending their homes means many make the ultimate sacrifice. And every engagement doesn't guarantee the death of a Dragon.

To Their Doorstep

Artist - Brisineo. This was by request for me when a fellow Living History Actor went down, flying his original P-51. He had a jump seat in the back, to carry veterans. At the end of the show, out of sight, they went down. The pilot was Cowden Ward, and the Veteran was 93 year old Vincent Losada, who was a WWII B-17 Bombardier. The date: November 17, 2018. They will sorely be missed. And Vincent's sacrifice will never be forgotten!

This story was finished and first published on December 7, 2018 - 77 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japanese Navy Planes. There could not be a better release date for a memorial piece like this. Over the next 4 days, the United States of America would be plunged into two wars.
