Twilight has never really fit in with other dragons. But things change when she meets a pony on a "friendship misson." But surely he's in the wrong place? Dragons don't do friendship.
The customs of the dragonlands are a mystery to Spike. When Ember invites Spike to participate in a ceremony that all dragons must face, he cautiously accepts. Little did he know, that it would make him question all that he is.
A newly minted ruler finds herself in need of advice, and has a radical idea. What if she tried asking her new 'friends' she met at the Gauntlet? One of them was a princess, maybe she could help her?
Spike now harnesses the bloodstone scepter making him the ruler of all dragon kind. Of course he hands it off as part of an important lesson on friendship, right? Naw. He immediately goes mad with power.
Months after the end of it all, Spike and Ember have a conversation on a familiar, lonely cliffside. Because even when it's over, the friendships we made along the way will go on. Maybe you'll even recognize the same magic—faded, but still growing.
When a fearsome group of dragons arrive over Canterlot with no warning, ponies begin to panic. Faced with an uncertain threat, the Princesses call on their trusted friend Spike for advice. Good choice, right?
A possible clue to the fate of her long-lost mother has Ember needing to find a zebra shaman. And didn't Spike mention one of those when he was telling his whole story about going through the molt?
I don't love Spike! He's weak, small, sensitive and unlike any dragon I've met! I like him as a friend, of course—he lets me... feel things and express things and a whole lot of other things. Just... can he win this fight to become my fake partner?
It's been a week since Twilight became a dragon so Spike can be happy without ever feeling alone, but it turns out being dragon is harder than she thought
Ember and the Dragons have grown much since Aestus returned to the world. With so much progress made and so much to look forward to, Ember invites friends and royalty from across the world to witness just how far they've come.
Spike has a problem regarding inviting two of his royal friends over on the same day! To avoid a diplomatic disaster, can Twilight, Starlight, and Spike prevent these two from meeting? No. No, they can’t. Let’s move on to the real problem.
Ember is invited to attend the Galloping Gala to further improve pony and dragon relations. She accepts, but she has a different goal in mind, one involving her and Spike and she's stacked the deck to make sure he will be hers!
"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.
The Dragon Lands are extremely dangerous, especially for someone soft and squishy like you. At least there's one dragon willing to keep you from getting burned.
Dragons don't do peace well. They haven't had much practice at it. All Ember needs is to get what she wants from these ponies and leave. So why do they keep getting in her way?!
Spike, having changed and matured greatly over the years, receives news from Dragon Lord Ember that a great gathering of dragons is to take place soon. Having held feelings for her for years, he attempts to win her heart over before its conclusion.
"Long ago, this crown rested on the head of those who would rule, and still it seeks the true liege." Spike thought it looked neat and put it on. Things happened, and he's not entirely unhappy with the result. Twilight does not approve.
Spike spent much of his young life trying to find his place in the world, only to realize it was with those who had become his family. Now, he must decide what to do with new emotions and desires.
Shortly after getting his wings, Spike decides he doesn't know enough about his own kind, and goes to the Dragon Lands for a little vacation. His absence is keenly felt, which is why Twilight has six unwilling volunteers in mind to fill his role...
