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 a reason.

This story is a sequel to Please Love Me?

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.

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.

Both on the edge of adulthood, they found each other, but look out over a vast and terrifying time. Hand in hand, scales against feathers, they draw strength as they take the next step together. Spike and Gabby had much to look forward to. A Spike and Gabby slice of life that follows them through the good times and the bad, starting with Spike's moving away from Ponyville.

Set after the series, but before the epilogue.

It hadn't been too long since Equestria experienced its largest power-exchange to date, with Princesses Celestia and Luna stepping down to allow Twilight Sparkle to take the throne. A lot of crazy events may have transpired during that time, including the defeat of three of the nation's largest threats at once, but it didn't take long for Equestria to settle back to a period of calm, tranquil peace.

Unfortunately for the new ruling Princess, recent developments seemed to cause her Royal Assistant to have some issues that are difficult to explain. And after a lengthy argument which led to a blowout from the little dragon, Twilight was left feeling hopeless when Spike flew from the castle in tears.

Now it's up to their parents, Twilight Velvet and Night, to find Spike and get to the bottom of his problems. Will the Royal Assistant be able to open up to his adopted parents? And can the couple get through to Spike, and help him feel better about his insecurities?

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.

Canterlot has sent a witchhunt for dragons in the surrounding area. There are knocks at the door. Fluttershy answers to find her saviour—bleeding, quiet, and on the run. Saving him means more than stopping the bleeding.

The guards are still looking. Friends harbour pains and prejudice against all of his kind. Mobs gather in fear of the unknown. And Fluttershy, deeply knowing dragons, fears them for a different reason. Yet she's the only one that will be able to understand what this kind dragon has to say.

Will she be able to save him? Will this one be different from the rest? How did Fluttershy acquire this ability? Why does Twilight regard all dragons with scorn?

The clock is ticking; the witch hunt is on.

Just a little fanmade reboot of the show I decided to make. I'm basically gonna be remaking all of the episodes that I can remake, while also adding a few of my own original chapters. I hope all who read this take the time to understand the themes and messages it presents, and that just because it's a darker take on the original source material, doesn't mean it's bad. I'll make sure to balance it out with light hearted moments as well, so it doesn't seem like it's always taking a shot of grim dark stuff. And yes, Spike is the main character of this story. Twilight's the dueteragonist, and the other Mane Six are still main characters. I just wanted to try something new. I hope you all enjoy it. Also warning for farts in some of the chapters, but it's NOT a fetish story, as that would mean there were farts in EVERY chapter.

Little side note: Actually read the story before liking or disliking it, or at least post a comment stating constructive criticism so I know you actually read it.

For those who wanna read more after season one, please comment below whether I should make that a separate story from this one, or make season two a part of this story. Whichever one gets more votes will determine whether this story gets an 'On Hiatus' status, or a 'Complete' status, and also part of how I'll do season two.

I'm sorry it's been so long since I finished season one. I've just been more motivated to write other stories I'm currently working on. Hopefully, once I finish writing some of them, I'll have the motivation to write season two. All hail gay princes and epic character arcs!

It's said the Purple Dragon inn can do any request no matter how crazy or impossible. It's members are monsters and it's guild master a mysterious individual. But these are all just rumors....right?

After saving the world for the tenth time things finally calmed down for the triple S adventuring group known as Harmony. The party split to focus on personal goals but one member wished to avoid the fame they had gathered. What better way than taking up a guild as it's master, helping others grow famous so he could hide away. But as we all know the best laid plans never go perfect no matter what prep you have.

featured 3/6/21 let's go!

It was fairly simple as far as assignments for the Lord Ambassador of Equestria went. Just a border dispute over a patch of land nocreature really wanted. But then came the summons back to Canterlot, so urgent that it only had four words:

Spike,
Twilight needs you

Contains outdated G5 speculation based on the information available at the time.

"Spike, dear? This isn't working."
"What isn't?"
"This, Spike. Us."

After a second date cut short, Spike spends a night out on the town (read: seedy bar) with Big Mac to commiserate the loss. After deciding that he wanted a final snack before bed, he heads to the best bakery in town to find something to take the edge off of his buzz.

Think of this as a spiritual successor to The Days Passed, in the same family as the premise of the first one: Who would Spike seek out after a break with Rarity? This time, instead of ending up on Fluttershy's doorstep, he finds himself at Pinkie Pie's. And this time, it will be more focused on the character growth of Spike while keeping up with the relationship growth between the ship. I hope it lives up to the standards that TDP grew to have, and I had for it
