This story is a sequel to The Dragon Lord's Consort

Spike awakens nearly a year later. But much has happened in his sleep and absence. A threat is building in Equestria and it may tear at the relationships between Dragon and Pony. Spike's future is undetermined, with a role he has yet to accept and a struggle over his destiny, between the family he grew up with or the family he needed. With time, he may not be the same as he was before and what the changes that have manifested with him, may hold.

Spike has hit his growth spurt making him happier than ever before... for about two weeks before he realized he was still the same, just taller and lanky. He still makes most of the chores around the castle, takes notes, reads comics, runs errands around town, and helps his friends whenever he can.

He's the same dragon he was before. The same coloration. The same appetites. The same hobbies. The same likings. The same fears.

The same weakling.

The same coward.

The same Spike.

He decides it's time for that change once and for all. And he knows exactly who to go to for that.

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

*Other Tag is there due to the sheer amount of other characters that are involved in the story*
**Prequel to You Can Count On Me**

Spike could not be happier. Rarity had just accepted his invitation to be more than just friends, and all he has to do is make sure their special night goes smoothly.

But when fate itself threatens the very start of their relationship with a series of apparently unrelated events, from jealous defenders of Guys Nights to dubious gambling rings to the disappearance of Starswirl the Bearded’s magic and a mysterious summoning from Tartarus, Spike and Rarity must find a way to balance their budding love life with their many responsibilities.

And did we mention that the prom is tomorrow?

Written for Rubyfire377's Sparity Contest.

In the land of Arcania, the homestead of the centaurs and gargoyles, there lives a dragon named Spike. After his mother vanishes, Spike is left in the care of his uncle, a bitter centaur named Tirek.

Eight years pass and Spike discovers an old map stored in a wardrobe, along with a shield and a small chest bearing his name. After reading the contents of the scroll, Spike discovers that his mother traveled northwards to a foreign territory called Tambelon.

Taking everything that was left for him in the wardrobe, Spike embarks on a journey north to find out what happened to his mother. However, lurking in the shadows are two mercenaries intent on capturing him for reasons unknown, and the Count of Tambelon, who patiently waits for Spike's arrival.

(Elements of this story come from Dungeons and Discords and Gen 1 MLP)

How often have we been invited out, and yet, left alone? Spike knows the pain of being alone at a party, and apparently, so does Princess Luna. What will the two learn about each other as they get progressively drunk throughout the night?

Spike is a dragon who was raised by ponies. Rarity is one of the most successful fashionistas in all of Equestria. This is the story about how a certain drake won the heart of his special lady and the lives they build with each other. Many challenges await our intrepid heroes, from threats to Equestria to the matters of the heart.

(The story will mostly be Sparity, but like a newly opened harbor they'll be more ships in future. Would hate to make anyone feel left out.)

A series of catastrophes have left half of Equestria drowning beneath the sea. In this war-ravaged world, Princess Celestia has turned into the tyrannical Daybreaker and announced her intentions to bring the world under her safe control. The mercenaries of the ship Rogue Diamond lead by Captain Rarity have mostly remained outside of the conflict. However, a survivor of the Canterlot flooding approaches them with the keys to restore Equestria.

This is inspired by the webcomic Rogue Diamond. I have seen pages of it on Derpibooru and kept getting ideas for my own MLP adventure at sea. My story and characters deviate largely from the webcomic.

The first chapter is sort of testing the waters (pun not intended) and seeing if this story sticks. If I feel like it's worth continuing, there will be Spike-shipping (not sure between who yet).

This story is a sequel to the dragon's den dream

two weeks after being offered the contract, spike decided to accept it and return home to meet his birth-parents; not just for him but so that he may protect all of his friends. unfortunately neither twilight nor the others see it that way and will be willing to go through tartarus and back to retrieve their friend. worse still, spike's new noble dragon friends would do the same to ensure that he arrives at the vlemm enclave. And when certain members of royalty get involved not just from equestria, but the other kingdoms as well. Then there will be enough chaos in the land to make discord shed tears of joy.

Even the slightest changes in the past can have a significant effect on future events, case in point:
what if Spike was never raised by Twilight Sparkle? What if he was raised as a bonafide apple on Sweet Apple Acres, brother to Big Mac, Applebloom, and of course Applejack? What if his arrival as a hatchling had inadvertently prevented the deaths of Bright mac and Pear Butter?

Spike's always come up short on his luck with mares. All that's about to change. Probably not for the better. Oh, and there is that whole thing with the Changeling capitulation deal, which is unlikely to affect Spike. Nope, not at all.

Primary Cast: Spike, Pleiades (she's back, baby!)
Secondary Cast: Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Chrysalis, and more.

Set about ten years after the end of Season 4.

Note: This story is set in an alternate universe, where very little past season 4 will be referenced, and the changeling changes with Thorax and friends are retconned to hell!

Update: Dark tag added for some of the humor.
