Spike had never thought he would meet his birth parents, he had been with Twilight for quite sometime now and he was starting to lose hope that he'd ever meet them. But when he goes to the Dragon Lands to see the Migration, he not only meets a kind dragon who helps him through the place, but he also helps find someone he never thought would get to meet..

This story is a sequel to The Big Switcharoo

A/N: It is very important that you read the prequel before reading this story; otherwise, some of the tags will not make any sense. Also, while this story is rated T for now, there's a chance it could become much more than that. Depending on how I feel about things, I might make this story get into M rating content.

Since the effects of "The Big Switcharoo" spell were permanent, Dragon Spike finds himself in an altnernate reality, where Dragons were the majority race, ponies were hostile, and the nation was called "Brimstone". Join the purple dragon we all know and love, as he manovours through countless obsicles, all while dealing with a dragon princess who's smitten with him beyond all belief. Strange thing is, he's smitten with her too.

Welp, here it is: My actual long-term side project, and what the smaller side-project was leading up to. This story is going to be a huge undertaking in more ways than one. The first part of that, is that nothing in this story will have a direct tie in with some episode from the MLP:FiM universe. But the second part and the bigger reason this will be such a huge undertaking, is that after the first chapter, I plan on every chapter having a word goal of twenty-five hundred. You read that correctly: For the first time, one of my story projects is going to be pushed beyond my ordinary limits and I'll be aiming for 2500 words per chapter. This story is an experiment to see if I can actually do something like this, and if people will actually enjoy the fact that I'm finally pushing past my comfort zone. If this story becomes well liked, you may just see future story projects from me having this same twenty-five-hundred-word goal. So...if you enjoy this attempt to make stories more in-depth, make sure you hit the like button. I'm setting a like goal of twenty-five likes, meaning if this story can get twenty-five green thumbs up, then twenty-five hundred words will be a standard moving forward.

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?!"

Opaline has finally been defeated, peace has been restored to Equestria, and all is well. But Sunny still has a few lingering, nagging questions that beg to be answered. And there's only one creature who can answer them: Dragon Lord Spike.

Journeying back to the dragon lands, Sunny requests another audience with the old dragon. She wants to know how he became dragon lord and why he left Twilight Sparkle so long ago, as well as it must have to do with Opaline.

Against his better judgement, Spike decides to share his memories with Sunny. And in the process, he might finally come to terms with some difficult parts of his past.

(Featured from 3/06/2024 to 3/07/2024.)

Spike had been captured by a alien group called the Kraang for some time now, he was taken away after he just wanted to have some time to reflect. He was taken away from Equestria and brought to another dimension, he was in captivity for some time, but he then meets two strange creatures called" Human's" and are thrown into his cell, he meets a girl called April who has caught they're interest as well.

After some time waiting they are rescued by a group of 4 mutant turtles, after they fail to rescue April's father, Spike is now freed but without anywhere to go, so the turtles take Spike in and is trained by Master Splinter to stop the Kraang and return home.

New Cover art is thanks to Dragonknife 5, he helped make this and all credit goes to him.

This story is a sequel to I Can Count On You

Ember, Lord of all Dragons, has been presented with a problem that has forced her to seek the help of her best and closest friend.

Now that Spike has arrived all she needs to tell him is her problem. An ancient law, one that no Dragon Lord can object against, has come into effect.

What's that problem? She is to be bonded with the winner of a special tournament as life-mates.

Additional tag: Action.

*If you are feeling generous you can buy me a Ko-Fi!!

*This fic will deal with a lot of fighting, but it shall not be gore related, and the blood will be kept to a minimum.*

**This is my first attempt at writing something based almost purely on fighting/combat in a tournament-like scenario.**

We all know about Spike, dragon assistant to Twilight Sparkle. But what we never saw got to know about was Spike, a pony conclier assigned to Twilight Sparkle. Confusing yes? Turns out, there's an alternative universe to Equestria called Brimstone, and in this world, everything we thought we knew about our favorite ponies had some strange...counterparts.

And now, these two Spikes will find out just how similar yet different their worlds really are. And maybe, there might become a reason for their switch to remain permanent.

Looks like I'm keeping the isekia'd Spike train rolling. Seriously, there's been a trend of MLP:FiM's Spike being isekia'd into all sorts of things. But I doubt anyone's thought to isekia Spike into an alternate version of Equestria known as Brimstone.

Yeah the tags are basically spelling out what the heck you can expect. I shouldn't even try to hide my plans for this side project. So I won't bother. Just look at the tags and tell me what you think I have planned. Because I've officially gone mega crazy creative mode with how I'm tackling this.

Pray for Spike the Dragon's sanity; because it might not last long. Also, the teen rating is just to be absolutely safe, even if "kissing" isn't a mature warning tag. I...consider the act of kissing to at least be something that not everyone and their dog should be allowed to read.

As a side note, I couldn't find an outright pic of a Pony version of Spike & the dragon version of Spike we all know and love in one picture. So, I opted for the current picture instead. If someone out there wants to make a picture of Pony Spike & Dragon Spike in the same picture, or if someone finds on, link me to what you made/found, and I replace the current cover.

I may end up just keeping this one around for a sequel, as this is only meant as a prequel story to a much bigger side project.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: The Draconic Sister - Reboot

Spike & Smolder are fully in love with each other, but their adventures have only just begun. Ember; the new Dragon Lord; has been coming down to Ponyville a lot recently for whatever reason. And that's not the only concern; during the changeling incident, Wildson Mandoli had sent the energy being known as Zanth flying and things are on high alert in case the thing born from White Flame's anguish and pain from his past returns. And that's still not all; more clues get unearthed from Canterlot's Parish District that further prove that the Parish District is really White Flame's old hometown. Between Ember's vists to Ponyville, Zanth still at large, and the continued investigation of the Parish District, there are mysteries abound as Spike & Smolder as well as the elements of harmony continue their adventures.

The sequel is here! While this story not only is the proper sequel to My Little Pony: When Friendship Shimmers - Reboot but is also technically the sequel to A Draconic Hearth's Warming however that story won't be relevant for the first few chapters. You'll know when the one-shot becomes relevant because then Spike & Smolder will have wedding rings on, rather then them talking as if they are only engaged. Also, it's very recommended that you know everything from the prequel before you even touch this story. Thankfully, there's no planned gore this time, only death. So story will stick to being teen rated this time.

Though I use the term "death" very loosely. Can you call it death if what you plan to kill off isn't even alive in the first place? I'm still adding the tag just to be safe though.

Profanity Warning: Sunset Shimmer isn't afraid to use pony profanity and expect that to spread to others later. While it is essentially kid-friendly profanity, profanity is still profanity.

Two weeks after her fraternal brother had gone missing, Sunset Shimmer encountered Twilight Sparkle, and ended up becoming the purple unicorn's surrogate big sister. This not only caused things to change for the both of them, but also it healed the hole in Sunset's heart in ways even the orange unicorn was unaware that she needed.

Welcome to the rebooted version of the "When Friendship Shimmers" universe. Things will be starting of differently here, with some fun HCs, a few surprises, and an altered opening. The surprises will be starting right out the gate though, if the fact that the story starting with "Season 0" wasn't already an indication that things are not the same from the original version of this universe. And here's hoping this time, people will enjoy the story I wish to tell. Oh, and let's just say...I've taken some creative liberities out of the gate.

Currently revealed HCs:
Sunburst is considered Sunset's baby half-brother, both sharing the same mother but two different fathers
Sunset has her own dragon companion known as Ray (named after the lizard pet she has in the Equestria Girls world from the original cannon, though only the name and color match)
A land north of what will become the Crystal Empire is part of the grand Eeveelution Kingdom known as Icicle Vally; making the kingdom neighbors to Equestria itself. Lightning Town & Team Strikers being from outside Equestria, but Raiden's fame of being a hometown hero is enough to basically allow them to be in equestria without any problems.

Currently revealed relationships:
Sunburst & Sunset being half-siblings
Sunset being Twilight's surrogate older sister
King Throsten; formally Prince Throsten; being an Equestrian Ally alongside the entire Eeveelution Kingdom.
Dragon Ray and Spike treating each other like brothers because of their unicorn companions being surrogate sisters
Scootaloo being Rainbow Dash's Biological LIttle Sister

Notice: While Throsten and his eight Eeveelution wives are part of this reboot, they will only appear in non-plot relevant episodes as side characters. This story is not about them, this story is about an alternate MLP:FiM world where Sunset Shimmer becomes Twilight Sparkle's surrogate sister

Update 8/12/2023 - This story now has a cover art, but this one isn't the long-term one. I did find the cover art that is up right now and thought it'd be nice to have up as this story before certain events happen. Plus, I think by having cover art for before Sunset becomes an alicorn in this universe, it adds to the progression of the story.

Update 8/14/2023 - Fanfiction author "Sunset JJ" is trying to repost this story on Fanfiction without my permission. The next chapter will have to now include the "Rob Snowden Production" notice to deter them away from copying more of this story. Please only read the version on this website as this is the only true official verison. The one on Fanfiction is being created by a story stealer.

Update 8/25/2023 - This Story has entered the featured story section as of today. Honestly, looks like this has become the popular story of this account.

Update 8/28/2023 - Someone made a comment about the way I'm portraying DID in this story. If you want the behind the scenes info, and have issues with what I'm doing with DID, read this blog post: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/1021373/marana-milissa-and-did-behind-the-scenes

Update 10/19/2023 - A death tag has been added for saftey reasons. Not all chapters will contain instances of death though. Only chapters with the specific warning attached will actually have deaths in them. Better to be safe then sorry though.

Update 12/19/2023 - There currently seems to be an ongoing issue where trying to change the cover of the story breaks the site. Until this gets fixed, you guys are just going to have to deal with the temporary cover. I apologize for this inconvenience, but right now, this is beyond my control.

Update 12/22/2023 - While trying to figure out how to upload the cover I wanted to put on this story, I came across this one, and this is much closer to what I originally envision AS the cover in the first place. So I consider this a win.
