This is a story about Spike and the whole pony world. Freedom and bondage, ordinariness and greatness, chaos and harmony, I will take you to see this living world from the perspective of a dragon.

Note: Takes place after Chapter 6 of MYM.

During his exploration of Equestria, the Mane 6 decide to take Comet to the Isle of Scaly. But Comet gets so scared of the dragons, he goes into hiding. Now it’s up to the Mane 6 and the dragons to find him.

Hellfire is the leader of a rather notorious gang of dragons and is known to have plans for taking the throne of the Dragonlands. However, just as his plans are starting to bear fruit, his life is interrupted by an annoying scholar by the name of Shining Scales, who was given permission by the queen to live within the Dragonlands and study their kind. However, not everything is as it seems with the scholar, and Hellfire is sure that the queen sent the bumbling idiot to undermine his plans.

Will Hellfire's coup go as he wants? is Shining Scales really what he claims to be?

After seeing Spike get rejected by Rarity, Meadow Flower follows him in an effort to cheer him up. Her cutie mark is a sunflower after all and her special talent is making ponies feel happy and sunny. She only came to Ponyville to visit her fellow Wonderbolt trainees, she didn't think she'd end up falling for the dragon.

(This story is a semi-sequel to Sun and Flurries, and its related semi-sequels. Familiarity with those works is not required to understand this one. Based on a request from Yaakov Lubin.)

Spike has accepted the request that he become the next dragon lord, even though it means he'll have to leave Twilight and leave behind his position of royal advisor. But Spike has reluctantly decided that it's just what he'll have to do.

As Spike prepares to transition to his new title and his new life, he is surprised to be receive a visit from a princess. Not just any princess, but Princess Flurry Heart, herself a relatively new ruler of the Crystal Empire.

Shocked by the news of Spike's change, Flurry Heart opts to have a conversation with her unofficial "Uncle". In particular, she has her own worries and fears related to her job title that she hopes he'll be able to help her with.

It's Winter in the Dragonlands, which means lots of rain and time spent inside. Feeling somewhat lonely, Garble can't even work up the inspiration for his poetry. Luckily, Smolder is there to drop by and entertain him with her own storytelling.

Set between Season 6 and Season 8, circa a few months after 'Gauntlet of Fire'.

Spike has been Twilight's loyal Friendship Ambassador for many years, sorting problems and building bridges with other nations.

Sadly, the customs of his ancestral home remain a mystery to him. On a diplomatic visit to the Dragon Lands, Dragon Lord Ember decides to enroll Spike in a ceremony that all young dragons must pass, the communion with the deity of the dragons.

Yet, in this unfamiliar realm, a world of dragons he knows so little about, Spike is forced to grapple with profound questions of identity-who he truly is, what he aspires to become, and whether he can ever embody the essence of what it is to be a dragon.

Surely speaking with a God can't be that bad?

Set sometime before The Last Problem during Generation 4
