While solos are fine it never hurts to play a duet. Spike's sensitive ears drove him to seek out her soothing melodies, and Octavia's loneliness drove her to let him stay. A crossing of path's leads too a duet and new friendship.

SpikexOctavia fanfic with music references abound.

Rainbow Dash does not have a crush on Soarin'. Sure, she thinks he's a pretty cool stallion, being a Wonderbolt and being an awesome flyer and all. Sure, maybe she catches herself admiring those powerful wings of his and maybe even imagining what it'd feel like to have them rub against her own. Sure, she can't help but try to take a peek at that toned, muscular flank of his, but come on, who hasn't? That doesn't mean she has a crush on the guy.

Rainbow's going to have a harder time deny all that now that she's gone and declared that she can make a pie better tasting than Applejack's, knowing perfectly well of Soarin's love for pie. The fastest way to a stallion's heart is through his stomach, after all. Too bad Rainbow Dash's awesomeness doesn't apply to the kitchen.

With only a week before the big bake sale, Rainbow Dash must learn all she can from an unexpected source. Can Spike help her impress her not-crush, or will the two of them discover something else on their journey to make the perfect pie?

When Rainbow Dash wakes up to find herself sharing a bed with somepony—or rather, somedragon—she knows she's going to have an eventful day. Determined to put the whole ordeal behind her, she agrees with Spike to forget the evening had ever happened.

However, things have a way of coming back to haunt you, and for Rainbow Dash, it may not be what she asked for at all.

Spike finds himself in the middle of nowhere, and with no way of getting back home. For a journey this big its gonna take two, and Spike forges an unsteady partnership with a unlikely pony.

Embarked on a dangerous journey to reach his home Spike is gonna have to keep an ace up his sleeve, call some bluffs, and hope his companion hasn't stacked the deck in her favor. Tempers flare, teeth will be grit, and things will never be the same. Enough napping young dragon, it's your turn for an adventure.

Kudos, and thanks too my beta-readers xgfhj, Lium, and Dataguy who've been patient enough to deal with the multitude of grammar issues that plague my stories, and all around have been a great help.

Let's follow the tale of a dragon centuries old as he recounts the story of how he met his loving wife after being banished from his old, loving home

Spike is called upon Time Smith The Time Traveler, Tick, to travel into his friends future and past. He learns secrets about his friends and how life in the future changes dramatically with one small decision. Will Spike wish he never met Tick or enjoy life like he always did?

Spike's been the piano player at this rundown tavern for a year now, it had slowly become part of him. The usual crowd knows him well, as he knows them. But Octavia wasn't part of the usual crowd.

We all know our beloved dragon, Spike. He is kind, helpful and never complains about unfair working conditions. He helps where he can and tries to live a happy life while being Twilights' number one assistant.

What if Spike wasn't that? What if he would be a sarcastic and cynical flank-hole? What if he had enough of the way Twilight handled him? What if he leaves Twilight and searches for his own life?

Well, let's see how this plays out.

Now with a sequel.

Dated pre-coronation, and will not take the changes of it into consideration.
