Apple Bloom and Spike have a secret book club. While they enjoy their books, sometimes the world of fiction doesn't always provide the escape they'd hope.

Lately, King Thorax is feeling rather down. Although his friends are already dating or married, he feels left out. Hearing this, his brother, Pharynx with the help of Equestria's newest adviser, Spike, set out to find the King a mate. But there's a catch to this match-making, Pharynx has reason to believe that his brother is gay. So who exactly could they get Thorax to date and, more importantly, will it go well in this comedy of assumptions?

A special thanks to a certain someone who offered me the idea who wishes to remain anonymous.

Twilight realizes Spike might be neglecting his childhood when she sees how hard the dragon is working to help her around the library, so she decides to send him to school to mingle with ponies his own age. Despite his intellect and maturity, Spike finds himself with unfamiliar ponies, in an even more unfamiliar environment. Can Spike learn what it means to be a child before the fillies and colts drive him insane?

Please Read: I did not mean to take credit for using Mallajong1's title for the "Spike's" series. The similarity was purely coincidental. Sorry for any confusion caused.

Spike was always considered a baby Dragon. His little secret is that he always wanted to be treated like one too yet has lived with the fear of anyone of his friends finding it out.

One day though it all goes wrong in one of his private moments with his fetish then all the fear and shame he dreaded would happen comes to pass. It sends Spike into a world of shame and worries that now that he's exposed how can his life with his friends go on?

NOTE: This fic contains Diaper usage in nearly every chapter.

What do Spike, Garble, and Smolder have in common, besides being dragons? They've been summoned to another world at the behest of a needy adventurer who thinks her fortunes are turning with their arrival. No one involved is ready for what comes next.

Done as a collaborative effort with a patron (RadicalDishonesty)! Will be updated weekly.

PS: This means you can blame all the typos on them, muah ha ha ha!

PPS: Lovely picture done by Dragonpony, thanks!

Luna has assembled her task force of former villains to enter a realm where only villains can dwell, for the sake of thwarting Eris' plot.

Twilight decides to organize a party for this task force at the School of Friendship, to which Luna agrees. But during the party, Spike notices Tempest and his wings begin to act funny.

Twilight and Luna both become concerned by this, and Spike starts to wonder if something is wrong with him. But how will everyone react when they learn the true reason behind Spike's behavior? Including the one who's causing these feelings?

Princess Twilight Sparkle is gone. Equestria was in danger of an invasion from another world, and she heroically entered the portal, closing it from the other side. Spike searched for her for years without success, but eventually he had to accept, dead or alive, she wasn't coming back. All the while Equestria was in danger with the Elements of Harmony missing. So Spike found himself a new purpose.

His intent? To locate someone suitable to be the next Element of Magic and the rest of the Elements of Harmony. To accomplish this, he attends the greatest gathering of magic wielders Equestria has ever known, which was Twilight's first and only major project as a princess: Twilight Sparkle's Institute for Magical Research.

Of course, moving to a new place alone is not easy, and being a scary dragon (even a pony sized one) makes it even harder. Spike has to handle hostile guards, frustrating coworkers, and a pompous prince he had never expected to deal with again.

It's been only a short amount of time since the centaur, Tirek, razed the forest of Everfree to the ground, and was defeated by the very ponies he hated, being sent back into the belly of the earth from which he escaped. And in that time, life has mostly returned to normal for the citizens of Ponyville. Normal that is except for the recently promoted princess, Twilight Sparkle and her assistant Spike, the baby dragon. Neither of whom know quite how to go back to normal since the incident.

This story is a sequel to Study of Generosity

Rarity asking Spike for a favor is nothing new. What is new is that favor being a ruse to get him on a date with a certain filly. But Spike knows better than to resist, and maybe a night with Scootaloo won't be so bad.

When Scootaloo asks Spike to clarify things, however, he decides to be honest. While trying to define what Rarity means to him, perhaps he'll find out what this date means to the both of them.

(Collab with yodajax10. Takes place "Father Knows Beast".)

Sludge has left and taken with him the false pretenses that he's Spike's father. But the effects of his visit are just now starting to settle in.

Worried about the lack of closure Spike faces, Twilight turns to a pony well experienced in helping others deal with past traumas, Princess Luna.

The night princess takes it upon herself to help Spike and Twilight reconcile and cope, so that they'll draw closer together. But Luna also intends to use this opportunity to interact with Spike one on one.

Can Luna give Spike the closure and comfort he needs? Or has Twilight drafted her to do the impossible?
