Will Spike heal from his past heartache? Will Twilight admit her feelings? Why do dragonesses have boobs!?! Find out these improtant questions and more...with SCIENCE!!!
9121116 Why do comic books, TV shows, novels, and movies have some many variations on a single story that already has an established cannon with a scheduled timeline? This is simply exploring an idea I had reading another author's work and seeing where it goes for a bit of fun. Again, with their consent, of course.
9121973 without giving away too much, I will say the end result should be to your liking. I will, admittedly be focusing on a lot of romance/sentiment in the first of the story but remember I've opened the story with characters mentioning the fact that he is less capable then he should be at this age and this is a problem that cannot be ignored. Any good story with a hero always starts with them being a whimp. After all, the best part of watching a badass is knowing where they started or what they had to deal with to get to where they are.
9122101 Well, I'm pretty sure I stated this several times in story description and in comments, but yes. I did make sure to get permission. One thing I always pride in myself as a writer is my respect for the works of others.
9121090 Here is something... Twilight in Summer Time Beach time is NOT a slut, she was terrified that the jerk wouldn't tell her where Spike was, she done that in order to find him. And even if she did have sex with him, he would never tell her where Spike is, he would have left Spike for dead.
9122993 Even if you are right I..........................I'm sorry I just can't. I find her really pitiful and this series is already cringing to me. Like I said in the other fic the only ponies who ever stood with him for so long are the Royal Sisters. Other than that I can't bring myself to liking these tilting Thots of Harmony...
Well im hooked. But please change up the stuff towards the ending. To cartoony and i realy hate the the none of the roylity used tgeir status to make that fucker pay. He kidnaps spike a n d twilight just goes along with his plan. If thats not a time to go game of thrones on some ones ass i dont know what is.
9123285 Oooh, don't you worry about that. Big bad 'Ladies Man' is definitely going to see a healthy dose of karma. Though, not likely through direct royal intervention, at least not only that. As many times as I've wished to see royals step in during a story, I also quickly admit that it wouldn't be quite as satisfying as something more...creative.
9123126 *sigh* Okay, while I hate getting involved in such things, I think it's time to try and put this flame out before it goes past the first chapter. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, let me be firm on that. I ask, though, that we please respect others as well and not turn this into a free-for-all. I will not name names, nor claim one side or the other, and will do my best to remain neutral. Only point out the facts and request four things things.
Fact one: This is the first chapter of an AU. That means no one knows anything about what will or will not happen. Only the character names, location, and basic plot. Making any judgement on events, character, or decisions at this point is irrational. The only fair and logical thing is to wait and watch.
Fact two: Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. We have the right to express them. The problem is when this turns into a circular argument that merely makes the same statement with varied insults.
Fact three: the judgements based here are based on a story and author from another section of the site! A story, whether AU or original, should be judged by its own merits not another's.
So here are my requests for everyone.
1) If your belief is too incompatible to coincide with another's, that's fine. Many people can't agree on a point. That doesn't mean we can't be civil. Therefore, please try to limit such arguments to two comments and then just say to 'agree to disagree.' I'd rather not see and entire comment section cluttered with insults and escalating arguments that never change.
2) If you must contest a point here, do so based on the merits of this story not another one. To do otherwise is needlessly insulting to the author who worked on it and the readers who want to decide themselves without pages of argument to color their opinions. I don't mind comparing differences (big point of any AU). I don't mind asking if there will be changes from the other or even requests for such. Again, that is the point of an AU. I do mind being judged on an argument you brought from another page.
3) If you are unable or unwilling to keep an open mind, give the story a chance to prove itself, or lend an ear to others' belief...that is still your right. Just as with any opinion. But if you are dead set on ignoring any other possibility or disallowing any outcome but the one you want and can't keep civil with others, please move on. Do not comment. Do not like/dislike. Just peacefully move on and let others enjoy their day. Otherwise, it is my right to delete comments, ban, report, or otherwise take action allowed by the site to stop this before it goes further. I don't want to. I really don't, so please don't let it come to that.
4) Above all other things listed, please...enjoy yourself. Relax. Let yourselves and other just indulge in some story and banter and nothing more. Is that not the point of this site and the story it is based on? To have fun and let others be themselves?
I have to admit, I am looking forward to more of this story, particularly because it is an alternative taking on what happened after 'Recovery'...Seems that it is gonna answer some questions that I really didn't ask, nor answer because at the time it didn't seem to me of that it didn't matter. But how you are showing this, it really shows a much-needed scene with the character. The immediate events after the brawl in Canterlot with the dragons--how everyone reacts after the smoke has been lifted and specifically how Celestia reacts on how she feels so down in that she failed to protect her son. Honestly, I was surprised in STBF (Summer Time Beach Time) that there wasn't more of how Celestia was taking care of Spike, not to mention how it seemed that Twilight and Spike seemed to already be a couple even though it wasn't entirely official ( Everypony does see it though). This interpretation of it is much more plausible, same with Twi and Spike potentially becoming a couple. It just works a bit better and I think with this, the payoff is gonna be much smoother and more rewarding because there is more to overcome for everyone, not just Spike like the original telling.
Also, kudos to Dante24 for greenlighting this...he's a great guy.
9125061 Thank you! High praise, indeed, and I'll do all that I can to live up to it. And I'll be honest. I'm glad someone has already commented on some of my reasons for doing this. Liked the original just fine, but felt there were a few always a few questions of character and their relationships that bugged me as well as a few opportunities that I thought were missed. Mind you, there were a few good reasons for the questions. Like Celestia's minimal to nonexistent help afterward. She didn't do much aside from coddle him, but then, just how many alternatives did she actually have in the story context? The only real source of info and possible help was from the dragonlands and they weren't exactly on best terms before the conflict in the last story. As I saw it, the biggest limit was the lack of options for answers, so, as the summary suggests, I provided another. Also as the summary suggests, this option is a rather dubious one which will hopefully explain why she didn't access it anytime before the worst case scenario we're seeing now. The only thing that may put anyone off is that it will be, for lack of a better description, a bit over the top. Really over the top. Like Sci-fi, comic science over the top. Then again, part of what made the original fun was having a bit of over the top mayhem from time to time. And as you said, I hope that my own spin on the Twi-Spike situation will add a bit more depth as well as possibly add more for the others. But, only time will tell how whether I pull it off.
And yes, Dante24 is pretty awesome and good sport for this. Even hope they might have a look and get some fun out of it.
9124225 Thanks for the sentiment, though I'll be more than happy to move on and pretend nothing happened if others are. After all, the big thing here is that we all have a chance to have some fun, right?
I remember a line from Bio Shock Infinite that fits Spikes mindset. "To deal with or cope with something that traumatized someone one begins to create memories where there is none" Moonstone is that memory created in his head.
For once, this actually looks promising.
In all honesty I'll be content if he did fuck the mysterious female dragon before the pitiful slut to be called his foster sister.
the story already has a sequel so why make a new one?
Ok, let's see where this AU goes.
9121116
Why do comic books, TV shows, novels, and movies have some many variations on a single story that already has an established cannon with a scheduled timeline? This is simply exploring an idea I had reading another author's work and seeing where it goes for a bit of fun. Again, with their consent, of course.
9121610
Are we still going to have a Super Power Badass Spike later and he still going to get the girls?
9121610
as long as you got permission from the original author.
He has returned

Yeah.... Not enough to pass judgment still. But what the hell, I'll see where this rabbit hole leads to.
9122229
A chance is all I ask and I'll do my best to make sure you enjoy.
That said, I would love to know where and why the flux of downvotes on the first chapter and why they won't even comment why.
I don’t understand why some people don’t like I think it’s ok
9121090
Here is something... Twilight in Summer Time Beach time is NOT a slut, she was terrified that the jerk wouldn't tell her where Spike was, she done that in order to find him. And even if she did have sex with him, he would never tell her where Spike is, he would have left Spike for dead.

Nothing wrong with giving this a chance, as it is an AU. I'm not leaving an upvote or a downvote until i can see enough content to properly judge it.
Well im hooked. But please change up the stuff towards the ending. To cartoony and i realy hate the the none of the roylity used tgeir status to make that fucker pay. He kidnaps spike a n d twilight just goes along with his plan. If thats not a time to go game of thrones on some ones ass i dont know what is.
