Several months after being named the new Dragon Lord, Ember receives an invitation from Twilight Sparkle to attend Equestria's Nightmare Night festival. Eager to see Spike and the others again plus meet all their other friends, Ember accepts the invitation. However, feeling like she isn't the only dragon around who could benefit from attending, she decides to bring a certain guest.

A young dragon named Smolder was chosen by the Dragon Lord Ember to represent the dragons at Princess Twilight's School of Friendship. Smolder isn't too happy about going, but if she's being ordered to go then the least she could do is get to say goodbye to a few dragons before she leaves. Most importantly, she wants to say goodbye to her brother, Garble, but something tells her he's less than happy about her leaving as she is.

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!

Dentists are prepared to deal with all sorts of situations. Being unexpectedly taken away to the other end of Equestria, to operate on a mouth they can fit into, is not one of them.

Dragons are good at fighting. Very good at it. Supurb, even.

So why are the dragonlands utter garbage?

This was the question that plagued Princess Ember when she became the Dragonlord. She had already proven her strength and power in the gauntlet of fire. In the end, though, it was Spike who retrieved the Bloodstone Scepter. Spike the clanless, whose form had no power, who worked with ponies of all things...

Something was going to need to change. And one thing Ember knew, Dragons... disliked... change.

This was originally for the Imposing Sovereigns competition, but was not able to complete it at the time. Cover art by Cider-Crave.

"Are all these... yours?" Fluttershy asked Ember about the dragon eggs. "No... none of them are!" she denied. But what if this wasn't just a lie, but a BIG lie...?

Takes place straight after the episode Sweet And Smoky.

In a surprise visit, Dragon Lord Ember comes to Ponyville with important news to give to her good friend Spike. According to her words, a great gathering among dragons is soon to be upon them, and in it, every dragon of age must find another dragon to become mated to by its end -- for life -- or risk becoming mate-less and alone forever, as stated by dragon law.

With such a sudden and perturbing turn of events, Spike, who is of the proper maturity, finds himself thrust into a most dire situation. Being raised by ponies has left him unfamiliar with his kind's inherent customs and traditions, but he knows that if he fails to participate or act like a proper dragon at the gathering, he fears he could lose his chance to show Ember the feelings he's been keeping from her for the past few years.

Does Spike have the ability to behave like the rest of his kind? And even if he succeeds in relearning his dragon instincts with the help of his friends, will he still be able to win over Ember's affections before someone else does?

All Luna wanted was a nice day off. Being bothered by hotheaded young dragons was not part of the plan. And trying to deal with it only lead to the dragon becoming even more annoying.
Something is going on, and Luna does not have the patience to figure it out.

The foolish drake is going to get tired of getting flung off mountains at some point.
Right?

Written for the May Paring Contest

When their mother brings home an abandoned purple hatchling, and introduces him as Spike, the newest member of their family, both Garble and Smolder are more than thrilled. Garble even vows to be the best big brother he can be for Spike, no matter what he does or fails to do.

Does he really need to act like a pony?

An alternate universe where Spike is raised by Garble's family.
