Time travel's a bitch.

That’s kind of the point

I agree. It always leaves me confused.

That is the question. The stories about dragons being good and fair are very recent, in the classics dragons are the greatest villains driven by greed, lust and anger, doing only what they want even if they need to destroy or dominate the world for that.

Sorry that you were hoping for an outcome other than what has happened, I hope you do find it, elsewhere!
Personally I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the story when the tags marked this sort of thing as happening. This is a mind control sex story and at least the people have retained some of their original personality.
Why are people surprised of the morals of a sex fic that involves mind control???
Some of the reactions to the latest chapters were quite interesting. So I may as well add my two cents to this.
First of all, people shouldn't be surprised if a mindcontrol clopfic ends with the bad guy(s) winning. That's usually part of the fetish. It's like reading Rape Porn thinking "I sure hope nothing bad happens to anybody."
That said, there are basically two types of mind control stories. Type one is basically an erotic power fantasy where the main guy (usually it's a guy or a lesbian gal because of straight male writers) is an amoral asshole who ruthlessly dominates the other characters. These are the stories you don't read for the plot but for the "plot".
Then there are stories where both the protagonist and the victims have at least little bit of personality and there are conflicts and obstacles to overcome. Stories where the protagonist can't solve all his problems with his mind control power. Usually, these stories try to make the protagonist at least a little bit sympathetic or, in extreme cases, make the victims unlikeable people who "deserve" what happens to them.
I would say this story is somewhere in the middle. At the end of the day, it's a power fantasy where Spike doesn't face any real problems, but it still gives all the characters enough personality to not make them faceless fuck toys. It also initially makes Spike more sympathetic by having him hesitate to use his powers.
So I can understand why people got "tricked" into thinking there could be a happy ending, where Flurry Heart wins and now feel disappointed by the twist. Another reason for the disappointment, at least for me, is the fact that the resolution to his conflict feels cheap. The Time Master felt like a genuine antagonist who could actually become a threat to Spike's plans. A problem that couldn't be solved by Spike simply using his Deus Ex Machina powers.
So one could say I tricked myself into thinking that Spike was in serious trouble and had to get creative to solve this problem. Instead, it turned out that Flurry was always on his side and this was just a very convoluted time-travel plot which feels like a cheap cop out to me.

Thanks that goes a long way to help explain a lot of the feedback that I've been getting, I've been quite confused by that as Spike was always going to win in this fic. I admit the whole bootstrap paradox wasn't the original idea with this arc going into it. The original idea was that Fluttershy using the Root of Laughter and then taking her to the rest of the harem where a subconscious sleeper command would have been implemented into it, but when people started lambasting Cadence and Spike I panicked and wrote in an ending where her childhood proved happier. That was a mistake looking back on it, as you said it was a deus ex machina. I also probably made a mistake in making Flurry Heart so sympathetic but I'm distasteful of the Ron the Death Eater trope and probably overcompensated
