Growing up with books, Spike has always been a fan of the critically acclaimed Daring Do series. But after finding himself stuck in one of the novels, Spike must find a way to survive in a foreign, daring land filled with mysteries and adventure. Back in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash finds familiarity in a draconian character from the newest Daring Do installment.

It hadn't been too long since Equestria experienced its largest power-exchange to date, with Princesses Celestia and Luna stepping down to allow Twilight Sparkle to take the throne. A lot of crazy events may have transpired during that time, including the defeat of three of the nation's largest threats at once, but it didn't take long for Equestria to settle back to a period of calm, tranquil peace.

Unfortunately for the new ruling Princess, recent developments seemed to cause her Royal Assistant to have some issues that are difficult to explain. And after a lengthy argument which led to a blowout from the little dragon, Twilight was left feeling hopeless when Spike flew from the castle in tears.

Now it's up to their parents, Twilight Velvet and Night, to find Spike and get to the bottom of his problems. Will the Royal Assistant be able to open up to his adopted parents? And can the couple get through to Spike, and help him feel better about his insecurities?

Trixie's birthday is coming up, and Starlight hasn't the faintest what to do. And Pinkie isn't even in town! So Starlight runs for help from her little dragon friend.

Now with a Chinese translation: here!

Twilight Sparkle is facing a crisis greater than Tirek, the Changelings, and King Sombra combined.

She's read every single book in existence.

So it is that she has nothing new to read.

She does not take it well.

Review by PaulAsaran

An Evil Lord learns of a forbidden spell that will destroy the world. Naturally, he intends to cast it.

No problem! Princesses Celestia and Luna will just send Twilight Sparkle to go stop him. That usually does the trick. There's only one catch:

There are only thirty seconds left to stop him before the spell is completed.

Inspired by Half Minute Hero

This story is a sequel to Every Five Hundred Years

Starlight visits Spike after her death.

First place in Seer's Something Blue Speedwriting Contest, where it was conceived and written in 60 minutes.

Now with a reading from StraightToThePointStudio!

"Who is he?

No one really knows. Some say he's an organization composed of thinkers and sages throughout history. Some say he's a rank passed down through generations, dating back to pre-Equestrian times. Some say he's an alien from another world, others maybe a time traveler or a ghost or a magical paradox. Some say he's a hero of great deeds, others say he's an omen of disasters to come. While others say he's just a story. A myth. A legend. A shadow in the corner of my history books.

One thing I know for sure though. I'm going to find him.

...one way or another."

Join Twilight Sparkle and her search for the mysterious figure woven throughout history, known only as "The Doctor".

It's no secret that Spike has a crush on Rarity - and it's no secret that it's going nowhere. How could a fabulous seamstress love a tiny dragon?

But Spike has a plan. A cunning plan.

By feeding Twilight all of his material, he can profess his love for Rarity through another - another that she might find more acceptable. And perhaps win her heart that way.

Or at least, that's what he tells Twilight he's doing.

Written for Monochromatic's RariTwi Bomb.

Now with a Chinese translation by ambrose28!

Spike wakes up on the side of an unfamiliar road, with only a confusing memory of the night before and a very unspecific note in his hand. Following the road, he finds himself in the town of Dragonsville, a rural town in the direct center of the country of Serpentia, land of love, tolerance, and harmony. Upon entering the town, he comes face-to-face with the most confusing group of dragons he's ever met: Pinkie Pie, the baker; Rainbow Dash, the stunt flyer; Applejack, the farmer; Rarity, the designer; Fluttershy, the animal enthusiast; Twilight Sparkle, the librarian; and Spike, the #1 assistant, who also happens to be a unicorn, a species most rare in this land.

And so begin the most incredible two weeks of Spike's life...
