And the dreams they give.

On a night of deep calm, where silence reigned without conversations or barks to disturb the peace, an unexpected encounter between two nocturnal beings would weave a destiny that would plunge Equestria into its darkest night in the future.

This story is a sequel to Mundane Utility

Nopony seems to understand how hard this is on her. Maybe Zipp can find joy in social isolation, but the more sensible of the sisters recognizes that she's been largely cut off from fame, fortune, and the constant reinforcing platitudes of those who clearly love her. Still, when Pipp is truly feeling lost, she can always power up Bestie, check the views on her latest video upload, and bask in the approval of the upvote count --

-- what's that little red symbol? That's never been there before...

...okay. Even more to the point: who cast that downvote, and how can Pipp make sure they never do it again?

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

While the story is labeled as a sequel, this just indicates that it takes place after the original tale. No extra reading is required.

This was something I wrote as the author and co-writer in Fanfiction.net almost a decade ago. The time line is after season 4 and the 1st EqG movie.

He was just a man, who lost everything, but in the cold hug of death, a second chance is given to him and now he will make sure to enjoy it, while evading isekai tropes.

The concept of what is ‘real’ is an interesting subject, truly, and is oft debated to this day, and shall be for eternities to come. Lines of thought around it have brought the most brilliant of mares down into madness, all while being ignored by those who cannot comprehend such madness.

Ignorance may be bliss, but sometimes one may be forced to ask themselves what they truly are, if they are real or merely the product of another’s imagination, and if they have any free will at all... Some may find these questions less hazardous, and simply accept it all, but others will push the bounds of what it means to be real, bending the truth to their will, and all for the sake of a simple infatuation...

Spike has been Twilight's loyal Friendship Ambassador for many years, sorting problems and building bridges with other nations.

Sadly, the customs of his ancestral home remain a mystery to him. On a diplomatic visit to the Dragon Lands, Dragon Lord Ember decides to enroll Spike in a ceremony that all young dragons must pass, the communion with the deity of the dragons.

Yet, in this unfamiliar realm, a world of dragons he knows so little about, Spike is forced to grapple with profound questions of identity-who he truly is, what he aspires to become, and whether he can ever embody the essence of what it is to be a dragon.

Surely speaking with a God can't be that bad?

Set sometime before The Last Problem during Generation 4

A magical universe and a science-based universe may sit uneasily side by side, but friendship knows no boundaries.
