Go to historic Equus Beach for a few days to relax. That was Ember Spark's plan for the coming week. It should have been that simple. She needs the break after such a long year, and she's prepared to kick back and relax. Only, of course, fate had other plans. She expected that.

She didn't expect fate to deal her an unexpected encounter, or learn that something in the water has a certain tie to a threat Twilight and friends vanquished years ago. That was probably not in the vacation plans this year.

A collaboration with Salnalus and Soothing Stone.

Dragons aren't usually known to be kind and loving towards ponies. In fact, they're usually brutes who want to destroy any pony they come across.

But then there's another kind of dragon altogether.

And when Fluttershy finds herself in a life and death situation, she might see the other side to a dragon.

This story is a sequel to How To Raise A Kirin In 12,371 Steps

Kunzite was the daughter of Twilight and Spike. An Equestrian Kirin, carrying the traits of her parents in a form rumored to never exist. Moonstone was the son of the Dragon Lord Ember. Just as tough as any dragon, but something unseen set him apart. They seemed to be as different as they could, but like their generation before them, they would still find common ground. Namely, the feeling that they would need to work together to stop a threat in the future.

As it turned out, Autumn Blaze has been hard at work uniting all the kirin tribes over the years. It's gone rather well, except she's had difficulty finding where two of the tribes have gone. When a stray kirin comes out of hiding and claims she ran away from the lost tribes, Kunzite thinks that might be worth investigating. Roping Moonstone into it, the three of them set out to find what happened to the kirin village, not sure what they'll find...

This story is a sequel to Spike Finds Love At Last

After a long and confusing relationship in the future, Spike and Twilight fell in love and decided to marry. The dragon's been adjusting to life as a husband and a prince, but just when he starts to get comfortable, he discovers that Twilight's pregnant with their first child. Fast forward several months, and she gives birth to their baby--only that said baby turns out to be a creature once thought to be just a myth. It turns out to be a kirin, a hybrid of a pony and a dragon.

When Starswirl the Bearded gets wind of this, it sends him asking questions of his own, questions he sets out to find the answers to. Celestia will join him on this quest, and what he will find out might just send shockwaves through Equestria...

In the meantime, Twilight and Spike have no idea how to raise a kirin, but they're determined to put everything they have into it. To say she'll be a handful is an understatement, especially when she unveils her powers...

Part 2 of the My Little Kirin saga. Spike Finds Love is Part 1. However, it is not required reading for this story. Edited with the help of Salnalus. No, the kirin doesn't look like that, just wanted to use a pic to show what they look like in mythology.

After foiling Wallflower Blush's scheme, Sunset decides to spend some downtime with Starlight in the human world. They catch up for a while, but soon discover that they have something unique in common: The Trixie from their universe helped save the day at least once. Grateful for this trait, Starlight decides that both Trixies should meet up, since they're heroes and all.

And then the inevitable happens: Both Trixies meet up with each other and immediately decide to have a competition to figure out which Trixie is the Greatest and Most Powerful.

Things only escalate from there.

A plan to get a mare to be naked around him seems like something Discord would do in his free time. Something he would snap his fingers for a day of some stupid fun. So, why is it that he's shaking so bad because of his plan for Fluttershy?

Teen sex for naked Fluttershy, but nothing more.

Five years after the events of Shadow Play, things have changed for Spike. He now has a pair of wings, he's the size of a teenage dragon...and he had to watch Rarity be engaged to another pony. Naturally, this crushed him, but it's four years after the fact.

Still, he has several regrets over how he handled things with Rarity. Wanting to know how to get past this, he takes up Applejack's advice and asks Twilight how to talk to girls in a romantic way. She agrees to help him get past his issues, but Spike soon discovers feeling he didn't expect, buried feelings that were there for years. It catches him off guard big time.

The question will soon become: Should he go forward with those feelings?
