A Dragon Warrior whose actually a dragon?! Spike grew up among the ponies of Canterlot and worshipped his heroes, The Elements of Harmony. Never had he imagine he could actually become one of them!

This story is a sequel to Just What Friends Do

The Dragon Lands are in an abhorrent state as of late. Seven long years of gangs ripping through settlements, economic implosion, low birthrates; the list goes on. She knows she isn't her father but she'd be damned to the furthest depths of Hell before she let her home crumble beneath her feet. With the help of some old friends she may just avoid such a fate.

This story is a sequel to It’s Not Easy Being Green… and Purple

Spike lives in a giant castle with the company of not one, but two mares. So everything's just peachy, right? You know… ignoring how unhinged his castlemates can be in conjunction with how much magical power they happen to have… and sometimes abuse.

Having read the previous story is not strictly necessary to enjoy this one, though it will help in regards to the second section.

One day, Spike is visited by the muse. Inspiration strikes him to create poetry. What you see here are a few poems by Ponyville's favorite dragon about his identity, his life with Twilight, lessons he has learned, and his friends.

I just had this idea and wanted to write from Spike's perspective within poetic expression. I plan on adding more poems about his friends and the many things they taught him. When I am satisfied, I will finish off with a very special poem to Spike.

It's Spike's birthday, and his six best friends have promised to give him whatever present he wants. And not just any promise - a Pinkie Promise. An unbreakable promise.
Big mistake.
Now Spike is asking all of them to trade places with each other, to try living like each of their friends, for an entire day - and they have to act just like their friends, too. Also, yes, he does have a camera... so no one will be forgetting this anytime soon. Even more disturbingly, if they give up before the day is over, they have to pay Spike a fee of ten bits.
Applejack is furious. Rainbow Dash is trying (and failing) to stay casual. Twilight is thinking about just how many things could go wrong. Rarity is appalled. Fluttershy is downright terrified. Even Pinkie Pie is disenheartened.
Thirty days. A whole month of weirdness, mishaps, surprises, hilarity, and - in every case - failure.
This is going to be a wild ride.

One day after talking with Starlight, Spike begins to glow most unusually. He quickly realizes that this is the call of the dragon lord, and that means he is needed in the dragon lands again.

Not willing to send the dragon off on his own, Twilight decides have to Starlight go with him, hoping the change of scenery will help her student get over her recent failure to redeem Queen Chrysalis.

But upon arriving in the dragon lands, Spike and Starlight discover that Dragon Lady Ember is facing a challenge to her authority in the form of Garble, and the possibility of war looms overhead. To make matters worse, Starlight doesn't see how she'll be of any help.

After all, if Starlight couldn't redeem Queen Chrysalis, how is she supposed to help a species she knows nothing about? Will Spike and Starlight be able to help, or will it be up to Spike alone to save the day?

One incident. That’s all it took to make Twilight worry Spike is outgrowing her and pledge to devote all her time to her friend regardless of any other duties.

I remembered hearing some mixed opinions over the episode Some Pony to Watch Over Me, such as AJ being out of character. I once wondered if the episode would have worked better with Twilight and Spike. This piece is an experiment to see if it could, with a different setup and plot of course.

Title may change if I think of a better one.

This story is a sequel to I Can Count On You

Ember, Lord of all Dragons, has been presented with a problem that has forced her to seek the help of her best and closest friend.

Now that Spike has arrived all she needs to tell him is her problem. An ancient law, one that no Dragon Lord can object against, has come into effect.

What's that problem? She is to be bonded with the winner of a special tournament as life-mates.

*If you are feeling generous you can buy me a Ko-Fi!!

*This fic will deal with a lot of fighting, but it shall not be gore related, and the blood will be kept to a minimum.*

**This is my first attempt at writing something based almost purely on fighting/combat in a tournament-like scenario.**

In his ever so limited free time he receives after long hours of slaving away to clean Twilight's library, Spike plays video games.

The most recent and popular was sent to him by his surrogate mother Princess Celestia! What will he do though- when his life seems to turn into an actual video game?

(Takes place immediately after "Luna Eclipsed", colab with yodajax10.) Another Nightmare Night has come and gone, and now Ponyville begins the process of cleaning up after it.

Spike offers to help out, but Twilight reassures him that they can handle things on their own. So, reluctantly, the baby dragon decides to spend a little time with Princess Luna, who has just come out of her shell.

But what can the two talk about? Quite a lot, actually. And both will come to realize, they have something in common.
