Spike the dragon never knew his true nature growing up, getting more and more engaged with each passing day until something finally snaps and he’s forced to deal with taming the monster he’s becoming.
As Ember, Scootaloo and Twilight try their best to aid the dragon, and Spike himself tries to keep from doing what should come naturally with his kind.

Couldn't find a great cover art, trust me I've looked. Sorry, but the story is still damn good.

Love this story you, author deserve to have all the praise
7896583 Thank you my friend, but my author friend did a lot of the work
Hell yeah! Great idea.
7896627 Thank you my old friend, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you guys enjoyed the story, it was something I'd been ignoring for too long with Inferno, and just jumped into to correct.
Though I did feel that my waiting was the correct choice, because I became a WAY better writer since we originally started.
Also, Famous, I LOVE your stuff man! Heart Invasion was my JAM, back when it was still incomplete.

Glad to see people like our work.
"That's probably because the last time he succame to his greed, he nearly leveled the town, after growing to the size of your father," Twilight might've said, giving Ember some insight into the actual reasons why this might've happened, as well as giving a potential possibility that Spike may have or be something that Ember doesn't know about... after all, the time Spike grew was the ONLY time we've ever seen any dragon do anything like that in the show...
but that might just be my opinion, since you did mention bright flashes and a big footprint,,, without addressing it any further than that
7896821 Even I don't know much about it my friend, also good to see you again.
I don't ship Spikealoo, but this was cute. Have my upvote. :)
7897195 Thank you my friend.
I don't know about everyone else but what really got me angry is your lists you have so many and I was irritated after the first one. I also didn't like the early bombardment of characters. I know most are from the show I think but wow that was a lot.
Now that I said my peace I can tell you what I liked. I liked atmosphere it seemed really desperate and that is hard to created. Most characters seem to work well together and there conversations flowed nicely no weird points in it unless it was a list then it would throw me off. Nice work.

Amazing how that got rectified literally two paragraphs down, but oh well.
This is a Spikealoo fic, not a harem fic. IF it was, it'd be FAR longer to actually give Ember more character motivation.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you were literally like x<2k words away from finishing the fic itself, by that point.
No amount of bad clop writing could have happened in that amount of time, even if I tried. At least, if I did, anyway. You can personally ask Inferno Dash. He thought I was going to write a clop scene in one of the later middle segments, and I told him I wasn't. Even though he would have had no problem with me doing so, I declined.
Also Mary Sues? Dude(tte) like I said before, you've already been through most of the fic by that point. How could Spike have appeared to be a Mary Sue in under 1.5k words. I'd like to think I had a pretty good handle on the character by that point, to NOT write him into the "perfect" corner.
Nice story, great read.
Though it is a bit odd at how Spike seems to just completely forget about that theft issue very shortly.

Thank you my old friend, I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Also thank you for the follow, far as I know you been following my work for a while so I'm glad to have such a loyal fan and friend. I'm excited to read any work you'll write if you chose to write one day.
A simple line, but once you think about it, it's terrifying.
Ah, I see this is fiction!
Ya think?!
You and me both, Spike.
I feel like framing this somewhere.
You know how often I've thought that very sentence?
Hey, at least she's honest.
Good luck; bad luck, who knows...
A good story, indeed! There were some odd grammatical bits, however, and they broke the story's flow -- I'd suggest another quick read-through, perhaps with fresh eyes. Just to make sure there's more 'show, don't tell'.
I enjoyed it nonetheless! It's a very interesting take on Spike, and dragons in general. As someone who's never much payed attention to the two in general, this certainly made me pause and think a moment. Nice!

Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed the story though to be honest it's old so I doubt I'll have it edited any time soon. We did what we could though. It means a lot.
Good story
