----------
This is sort of an experimental fic for me. I started writing this a few months ago when I was reading some darker stories from the period of Romanticism for my English class. It's experimental because, I'm trying to recreate the same style of literary writing from the period of Romanticism. Lots of emotion and spontaneity essentially. Whether or not this works, I don't know. This story is probably going to get a lot of hate because of this writing style but, if you would be kind enough to tell me what you didn't like instead of me just assuming you're a random troll, that'd be great.

NOTE: Some of the scenes in this story are not going to be so much filled with gore, but more just disturbing, so read at your own discretion. Or don't. I'm not the boss of you.

Spike feels like a Dragon without purpose and without anything to offer his friends. He leaves Ponyville without warning his friends, in an attempt to find his purpose on his own.
Princess Luna finds Spike and shows him the nightmares that his friends have been having in his absence, in an attempt to convince him to return to Ponyville of his own free will. Spike learns that dreams are the quickest road to the heart.
EDIT: 1000+ views! Thank you all so much. I consider this work to be my magnum opus, and I'm glad to see that it received some attention!

Ever since the Equestria Games, Spike had often considered Princess Cadence as an aunt figure. Now, following Tirek's rampage, he decides to pluck up his courage to confess what he feels to her.

When Spike falls gravely ill, there's only one pony that can save him.

Plague Doctor.

With the promise of leeches, medicinal herbs, and sweet, sweet medieval bitcoin from Princess Celestia, he must now travel to Ponyville to save Spike. However, there are some things that even the most skilled and exalted medical practitioners aren't prepared for...

Inspired by the Medieval Doctor greentext series.

Throughout most of his life, one question had been on Spike's mind since moving to Ponyville with Twilight. Who were his parents? It was something that he didn't think about too much, but was a question that happened to come back around whenever Twilight and her friends talked about family.

One day, a couple of dragons that claim to be sent by their queen arrive in Ponyville. At first glance, Spike thought that they were diplomats sent to discuss important matters with Twilight. Something that he doesn't usually take part in since he wasn't really experienced in such matters.

However, things take a bit of a different turn. For the dragons weren't looking for Twilight... They were looking for him.

It was about time I tried to write a story with Spike the dragon.

There's supposed to be a sad tag on this story but I have too much already.

Honorary Prince Spike Dracon Solaris has never left the safety of the Canterlot Castle, despite his want to do so. Over time Spike will push his limits at home and go out to see the kingdom he promises to protect, with the help of his sister Cadence, cousin Blueblood, and family friend Shining Armor of course. The four will learn of hidden conspiracies and lost treasures while growing to learn what it truly means to be heroes and a family.

A sweet story that focuses on family and growth other than adventures but a lot of actions and adventure will still be intersected with the slice of life stories.

The North Western Railway is...interesting. Not only is it still mostly powered by steam, but the engines are alive! Naturally, this can lead to trouble, But Twilight and her friends don't mind. They know that no matter what trouble they may encounter, the engines strive to be really useful!

These are their stories.

See Thomas and Twilight with their friends help out a new friend who was called master of the railway. I don't own Thomas and friends Hero of the Rails or the characters. I am just trying to make a crossover featuring the steam and the mane 8 as humans. Just remember that anyone can be a hero but a hero always has good friends.

75 years ago, a man called the Reverend Wilbert Awdry published the first stories about the railways of Sodor. Little did he know, his creation would become a global phenomenon that would inspire generations of children and adults into a love of railways.

In honour of his creation, I present those classic tales, retold as never seen before. Prepare for a journey into yesteryear, with old friends...and some new ones!

Updates daily.

This story is a sequel to Thomas, Twilight, and the Magic Railway

Following the recovery of Lady and the defeat of Storm King and Diesel 10, life goes mostly back to normal on Sodor. Join the engines and their drivers for some more thrills, spills, and exciting adventures from the rails. After all, it's Great to be an Engine!

This collection will be a mixture of adaptations of both TTTE and MLP episodes, Christopher Awdry stories, and some original material thrown into the mix.
