In a time long before Equestria was discovered, the Alicorn Empire ruled the region known only as the Northlands. Life was good, until the Alicorn Empire broke apart, and pony turned against pony. In this volatile time, the unicorn Sapphire must learn to survive in the territory of Horizon and beyond, and discover her true potential. For a storm is coming, carried by dragon wings, that threatens to wipe out ponykind’s way of life. The Equine Scrolls: SkyFiM, explores a long-forgotten land much like Tamriel from the Elder Scrolls in a time period similar to the time of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Only this time, in this world, the stakes are much greater.

Note on "pre-Chapters": The story itself begins in the Prologue, though reading it is not necessary to understand the story; it just provides the events immediately before the main storyline. The Introduction is a brief description of the world the story is set in and the main events that shaped it. For a more thorough description of the Northlands and its culture consult the Note on the Elder Age. It is not a required read to understand the story, but it explains the religion, governments, and cultures of the different pony factions at the time, as well as the differences in the acquisition of cutie-marks in more detail.

Spike always thought that his love life was simple: chase Rarity, eventually win Rarity. But a surprise confession from a friend complicates matters in a way he never could have expected.

Spike and Scootaloo talk about family and the everyday things in life they're thankful for.

Spike asks Rarity to go with him to the Canterlot Dance, but she turns him down, because she already has a date. However, Fluttershy comes and sees this, so she tries to cheer him up by going to the dance with him...
In the first place, they were going as friends, but they soon discover more than that...

I do not know who made this cover art, but I give credit to them. If they want me to take it down, I can do that. I repeat, I did NOT make this cover art.

Seeing the poor dragon at his wits end trying to woo Rarity, Gilda decides to give Spike some tips and help him gain the mare of his affection. Although she finds him slightly annoying, he starts to grow on her. And she soon learns that Spike has taken a liking to her as well...

Maybe too much of a liking.

With each others help, Spike and Gilda fight to find their place in a world that will not accept them.

Thank you to all my readers.

Due to Twilight's new book delivery service, Spike has been delivering books all over Ponyville. It was only a matter of time before Spike ran into Derpy Hooves, Ponyville's ditziest pony. What happens after that? Well I gues you'll just have to read and find out!

Adorable and fluffy Derpy X Spike fic that I've been trying to finish these last few months!

Spike remembers the good old days with Twilight, Rarity and the rest, so long ago. While he helps Celestia during a solar flare, the comfort they provide each other is more than strictly thermodynamic.

Spike asks a surprisingly deep question to a not so deep pony. Not really able to explain, she finds that some things can't be said, only felt...

Written for the Writers Training Ground: Rainbow Falls on Equestria Daily

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.
