There was a question... and Spike wanted the answer. The curiosity of it was gnawing at his little dragon brain like gerbils in a vat of candy corn. In desperation, he turns to Cadence for help, and she's more than happy to assist.

After all, it's just a simple question. What's the worst that could happen?

(Takes place prior to Season 1. Rated for scattered innuendo.)

Love isn't for him. The young dragon, surrounded by mares, know that none will become his one. Yet it's often when we stop chasing something that it comes to us. Twilight and Starlight pine for the same heart, devising a game for it to win it.

May the best mare win.

During the course of a sleepover at Ponyville Castle, it is revealed that neither Twilight nor any of her friends have ever kissed a stallion. Things quickly get competitive, and soon Spike, the only male within striking distance, is forced to run for his life.

Spike has been spending a lot of time with Flitter, a local pony in town who is (at best) an acquaintance of the Mane 6. Rarity sees this and launches straight into action, enlisting Twilight Sparkle's aid in getting to the bottom of Flitter's intentions with her dear Spikey-Wikey.

Diets can drive anypony off the deep end, and Sweetie Belle is about to find that one out the hard way. Meanwhile, Spike is apparently handsome. Because.

Wrote this one on a whim. I hope it tanks so I can get rid of it.

After Sunset Shimmer & Dim Sum reunite, they move to Ponyville with Dim Sum's twin sister Krystal, whom becomes infatuated with Spike after seeing Spike for the 1st time & chases him all around Ponyville, trying to forcefully kiss him!

Two thousand and fifty three years.
Spike has been battling the eldritch horrors of timeless Ginungagap for over two millennia, yet even to this day, his shame remains gnawing at his very heart and mind. Until the day comes when he is told of the danger that threatens what is most precious to him.

To save what he loves, Spike shall face his shame once more, his will, determination and sanity stretched to their limits, as he will step into the Abyss of his own, personal hell.

As always Spike moves forward, ever forward, towards battle, death and hopefully redemption.

In life, shame.
In death, absolution.

Spike has a really big announcement to tell all of his friends, and he was proud to say that he became the mascot for a really big company. However, while half of them are happy about his new job, the other half are shocked and appalled.

Of course, that's because they knew something Spike apparently didn't.
