Spike, like many teenage boys, is at a loss for romance. Kissing girls is as foreign as shedding for a pony. Seeking guidance, Spike turns to the one mare he trusts with such a matter: Cadence.

Taking him under her wing, Cadence sets up practice dates for the young dragon. But with each date, something grows underneath the surface. The dividing line blurs, and practice soon becomes reality...

Thanks to Vexy and The Abyss for kicking this fic into shape.

Spike is a dragon with mare troubles, and one of those mares just happens to be his mother. When he meets Lyra, who has troubles of her own, he hatches a plot that they think will be mutually beneficial.

Welcome to Equestria, land of love, tolerance, friendship, and. . . mind control? You'd never know by looking at them, but these ponies have all kinds of ways, both magical and mundane, to royally mess with your brain.
Why would they want to, you may ask? Well, that depends on the pony. Some just want hugs. Others want to know things that maybe you don't want them to. Some even want things that could only be called evil. The question is, can you refuse?

So, generally speaking this shouldn't be taken too seriously. I began this as a fun way to blow off creative steam, and don't really know where I'm going from here. Updates will probably be sporadic as I don't generally know when I'm going to have time to write. That said, if you have something you'd like to see, feel free to put it in the comments, and if nothing else I promise I'll give it a look-see.
Since everything's still pretty up in the air, I'm willing to consider making this a collab. Let me know with any interest/ideas to that end.

Each of these stories will be it's own self-contained tale, and unless otherwise stated will have nothing to do with the others. There will NOT be any clop in this story. (Though I'm tentatively thinking about writing a companion story for that. . .)

Finally, WARNING: Will contain Mind Control (mostly hypnosis), humans, and self-insert. If you take issue with any of those things, no one's making you read it. This is very much a niche story, so if it's not your niche feel free to move on, but PLEASE don't hit the thumbs down for that reason. If you have a problem with it, help me become a better writer by letting me know what it is.

The Green Lanterns, guardians of all life in the galaxy. Hal Jorden, Kyle Rayner and John Stewart are some of the most well known Green Lanterns to this day. But there are many Lanterns out there, each with their own story to tell. This is the story of a dragon who gained the power of a Lantern and how he grew from a simple housekeeper to a hero that would one day fight the greatest of evils. But green is not the only color that is in Equestria at this time. For just as there will be the brighest of days...there must also be the blackest of nights.

Due to the many different stories and different ways the powers can be interpreted, I will be doing my favorite versions of the powers.

I OWN NOTHING!

This story is a sequel to It's a Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door

An ancient evil has awakened. No, really, it has. From the depths of time, a black, noxious threat has risen up after millennia of imprisonment. It washes like oil over Equestria, swallowing up towns and uncovering terrible secrets long buried. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity are prepared to combat this great darkness. However, to do so, they must uncover the truths about the Elements of Harmony, and the truths about the ancient forerunners of Equestrian culture. What they find will challenge their conceptions of their own places in history and ponydom's place in the world. The six Bearers of the Elements must draw upon their friendship and the strength of their hearts to stand firm against the darkness. If they fail, it will mean the end of everything.

UPDATE: 8,000 unique views! Wow! I'm incredibly flattered!

Plowpony's Day- a day of peaceful rest and relaxation. Or it was, until Twilight Sparkle badly mangled a teleportation spell. It has left her with a bad case of Horn Rot, a disease that if untreated could prove fatal. What's more, the malady is advancing faster than the slow-brewing potion that cures it!

There is one swifter cure: the Beneviolet, a star-shaped flower that grows in the distant Archback Mountains, far beyond the western borders of Equestria. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity choose to undertake the long journey for the sake of their friend. Their path will wind through floes of ice, across gold-tinted plains, into distant forests glimmering with magic. They will learn much about the world beyond their homeland- and much about themselves, as well.

Yes, it's "Dangerous Business," here on FIMFiction. A huge debt is owed to all those who have supported me over the years. I've edited the story some to remove extraneous bolding and italics, but other than that, it remains unchanged. I hope new readers enjoy it as much as old ones did.

It might seem like a simple spell. A truly basic working. All it does is change the color of something without altering a single other detail, and somepony just pranked Twilight with it. A minor joke, one with no real consequence. But it's still new magic, and so Twilight and Spike venture out to track the spell and caster across Ponyville.

You'd think a spell which merely changed colors wouldn't create so much trouble.

You'd really like to think that.

A diplomatic crisis arises between Equestria and the small, poor kingdom of Tarandroland, ancestral home of the reindeer. Celestia and Luna agree that it is time Luna takes a more active hand in foreign relations again, and Luna brings Twilight with her as someone she actually trusts and can talk to. But the mission turns out to be much more than political discussions - if scheming unicorn courtiers, unfriendly surly reindeer, bloodthirsty pirates, ancient sorcery and dangerous monsters weren't enough, our heroines must deal with something old - older than Luna. And is Luna really ready for diplomatic action, will Twilight learn to use a fan properly, and exactly how wrong are Spike's superhero comics about reindeer mythology?

Now has a TV tropes page

To recognise the mane cast for their efforts in saving from Equestria from an eternity of night, chaos and other problems, Princess Celestia decides to invite them to the Mid-Spring Honours event, one where ponies of particular noteworthy achievement are rewarded with titles befitting their accomplishment.

Could this be the time for Twilight to make her move? Could jealousy cause an irreparable rift between two close friends? And is there more to this night than first meets the eye?

I'll update the characters as they appear. Any criticism you have is fully welcome, as long as it isn't baseless insult; the more I learn about what you like or how to write, the more enjoyable I can make the story for you.

Set about twenty years in the future. Spike and Rarity have been happily married and all was great in Equestria... until the unicorn's age began to show. While making her way back from Zecora's, a certain spirit of the night approaches the middle aged mare with a proposition to once again turn her into Nightmarity. As for Spike, how does one deal with their spouse coming home with a new body and sharing it with a millennium old evil.

A/N: This is a gallows dark romantic comedy. The cover art is not indicative of the story, just needed a really good image of Nightmare Rarity and Spike.
