Dear Princess Celestia,
About that Spike-looking toothbrush. It’s not what it would seem…

Preread by Majin Syeekoh and Tidal

Join the Mane Six as they go on some of the wackiest adventures imaginable, and learn some interesting new morals along the way.

Digging a hole wasn't the easiest of jobs, nor was it all that challenging or all too exciting, but it was rewarding in its own way. All the more so because once dug, Pinkie Pie could put her sister in said hole. And then fill it in, over her sister.

And she couldn't have asked for nicer weather for any of it!

Decades after leaving Ponyville, Spike is consort to Dragon Lord Ember, and father to her children. Settled into his role as her diplomat, relations with Equestria have never been better. His life as a proper dragon is going well.
Until one day he receives a letter, a summons he can not refuse.

Audiobook

As Little Mac tries to choose a bedtime story for his mother to read to him and his sister, he asks why none of the old legends have earth pony heroes. His mother has a good answer for him, but she dredges up some old memories, too. Ones that Little Mac wishes she would share.

Spike has had a lot of extra time since Twilight and Starlight have become busy with their various duties. It's understandable, but he feels rather useless at times.

After taking a trip to the local hospital, Spike starts volunteering to entertain the fillies and colts in the children's wing. Spreading laughs and smiles to children and families who need encouragement is more fulfilling then he could have ever wished.

But, when a certain blonde-maned pegasus with much less fortunate circumstances takes notice of Spike and just how caring he truly is, how will Spike react?

Princess Celestia is a frequent visitor to the Astral Planes, the ancient world of spirits and immortal souls. She considers it a good way to unwind after a long and difficult day spent ruling her nation. On one such journey she finds herself sharing tea with a kindred spirit.

A crossover with the Avatar: The Last Airbender Universe.

All Spike wants to do is grow up and be respected. Luckily, he has Pinkie Pie to cure him of that mentality and remind him just how great it is to slow down and actually have some fun with someone who cares for you.

This story takes place somewhere in the middle of Season 2. So no Alicorn Twilight, no castle, and a lot of character development is yet to happen.

This was written for  Jake the Army Guy's Horse Words Extravaganza with the prompt being obscure shipping. Honestly it saddens my heart that these two don't get paired together more.

Princess Celestia has one last chat with a good old friend.

Written for randome284's The Sun's Final Rising contest.

A lengthy business trip causes Spike to forget the most important date he's ever had with Rarity. Now, a day late, he has to get to Ponyville as fast as he can to make things right.

But, will she accept his apology?
