After returning from a long trip away, Twilight and co are somewhat surprised to discover Spike's hitherto unknown interest in stand-up comedy. But as he 'roasts' each one of them in turn, is everything as it appears to be?

Hmm... I wonder.

Spike wakes up one day feeling like a winner. To test his newfound winning abilities, he challenges Rainbow Dash and Applejack to a simple little game of Truth or Dare. What ensues will change the lives of the three forever.

Author's note: Spike's a boss.

Spike is depressed, and none of his old friends know what to do, let alone how to help him.

But maybe a new friend does.

Twilight Sparkle was born weak and frail due to her vast reserves of magic. Yet she has ways of overcoming her weaknesses. She’s the student of a Goddess and Death itself, and is the Element of Magic. She’s honestly a wonderful pony, that is if you can pull her out of her workshop.

Sunset Shimmer is the daughter of a Goddess and Death itself. Being one of the few naturally occurring Anthros in the world. That makes her more that unique. You’d think she’d be full of herself, with all the power she has at her disposal. Yet she’s quite a chill mare. Though she probably gets that from her father.

Spike the Dragon has never met his parents. Yet he takes after them to a strange degree. Most find him rather creepy or unnerving. It doesn’t help that he’s a snarky little dragon. Despite all this, beneath those black scales, is a passionate and protective heart. He’ll do anything to keep those close to him safe.

These are the tales, adventures, and day-to-day lives of these three. These Children of the Gods.

Set in the original I Am Become Death... I Am Eternal... cosmology, pre-rewrite. I’m just writing these for fun. They’re just going to be little slice of life stories.

Six months had passed since Spike had vanished during Twilight's ascension. Six months of frantic searching, worry, and finally grief for the Mane 6 and princesses

That is, until a strange object lands during Twilight and Tirek's battle, carrying the lost drake back home...with a few changes and one heck of a story.

(Inspired by Tatsurou's 'Another Hatchling')

Spike isn't sure where he fits into Twilight's family. Maybe he needs a reminder of what is important.

Starlight Glimmer wants to fly kites, but the weather is not scheduled for anything conducive to kite flying. Things go awry because the name 'Starlight Glimmer' is in that sentence.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks to Mitch H for an offering that became the paraphrased second paragraph and helping connect two discordant ideas. Also Tired Old Man for his input and edits.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

My other fics Sunset Shimmer is MAD about Everything and A Newspaper Solves Everypony's Problem are tied into this, though not strictly required for enjoyment...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

...assuming there's any to be had.

Twilight has never been one to leave an endeavor half-baked, so when she decides to learn to cook, she demands nothing less than the best teacher gems can buy: renowned chef Spike the Dragon.

Eggheads will crack, nerves will grate, and longstanding national institutions will be shaken to their starchy, tuberous roots as Twilight grapples with the art and science that is cooking.

A visit to Twilight's house started off like normal. Some gossip here, some makeup there.

Then Rarity ventured into Spike's room, and is appalled at how child-like It looked. Dolls, Comic books, and even a Power Pony themed blanket. As an act of "generosity", Rarity decides to surprise Spike with a new room and gives away all of his collectibles.

His reaction? Well... It's rather... explosive.

An unrealistic interpretation of Spike's reaction if his comic books were to be tampered with. Written for fun/practice as my first comeback story since 2014! Enjoy!
