When Spike and Twilight get into a fight with one another and Spike storms out, the town goes on a search party looking for the baby dragon. After days and no sign of Spike, Rainbow returns with an injury that could only have been inflicted by none other than Spike.

Realizing the futility in Twilight or her friends reasoning with Spike, Sombra takes it upon himself to find out why Spike was so upset in the first place.

Sombra could never have been prepared for the answer Spike was going to give him.

Side story to my multi-chapter SombraPie fic. SombraPie is included in this story, but to a minimal amount.

A millennium tending to a moon that was not her creation has taken its toll on Celestia's body and magic.
Before she goes, Emerald (Spike's new form) must learn her art and create a new sun, with Luna's help.

Uses season 2 canon.

Garble's behavior towards Spike and his pony friends - despite being mimicked by his cronies - was unacceptable by the standards of the Elder dragons, and he was taken sorely to task for it. When the Elders decided an apology had to be delivered, Garble's twin sister, Garbledina, volunteered to deliver the apology. She claimed it was a sense of responsibility for her twin's behavior, but in truth she was curious about the 'runt' who so thoroughly got under his skin.

When she actually meets him, however, that curiosity quickly grows to something more. This comes as a shock to Spike and his friends...especially to a certain unicorn mare.

Takes place right after "Magic Duel" as well as a rewrite of one of my first stories. When Twilight forgives Trixie, the pony who banished the closest thing Spike has to a mother, Spike starts to lose trust in Twilight as well as his other friends for the way they all treated him all through his life, and runs away one night. He then comes across new friends, who are five orphaned colts. Will Spike return to Twilight and the others or will he lose his trust in them.

All his life, he was just an assistant. Nothing more, nothing less. He was just, used. He was used to get what they want, and throw him away when they're done. Spike is sick of it, and now his life is hanging by a thread when he has to make a decision whether or not he wants to keep going.

InsertUserBronyNameHeres story, "The Life Of Spike" gave me the inspiration.

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...

Applejack can't sleep because of how good it actually felt to let Spike massage her. Who would have ever thought his little dragon claws were just right for some good massaging? In desperation, she decides to ask Spike to massage her again.

After being given the short end of the stick by the Mane 6 once again, Spike wonders if he's worthy to be called their friend. When an unexpected visitor arrives, he decides to voice his opinions.

Just a one-shot I cooked up in my spare time. I always feel bad that Spike is constantly neglected or mistreated, even if he is the comic relief.

But a lot of ponies seem to think I’m constantly floating on that figurative cloud in the sky. Cloud 9, or whatever. I’m sidekick to the Princess, the Element of Magic herself! Great, right? Wrong.

Nothing happening can be worse, on rare occasion, then something happening. Spike knows how this feels, and takes his feelings to the Elements' journal.

Based off of a prompt given to me by Titanium Dragon. "Sometimes, the worst thing that can happen is nothing at all."

In response to threats of a griffon attack on Equestria, Twilight responds with a letter detailing just why such actions would prove unfavorable for them.
