Adult Spike is trying to work out exactly how dragon magic works, and after he expresses frustration at not being able to use the only text ever written on the subject, King Thorax, his boyfriend decides to find it for him.

The journey takes him to the Crystal Empire, where the author once lived, but finding secrets from before Sombra's Reign is not easy, as memory and trauma obscure everything.

Written for the 2022 M/M Shipping Contest, it ended up a bit less shippy than I'd hoped, but hey, I wrote something!

Sieges are never pleasant, for attacker or defender, but the ending can often be worse, as angry soldiers sack their enemies and extract petty vengeance for their discomfort. There’s a reason that surrender is common, but when the besieged are monsters, what kind of surrender can be accepted? Whisper, the Duke’s spymaster, must find one if he is to save everything he cares about from the Princesses’ wrath and his liege’s pride.

Seven years after the show, and things have changed. Starlight married her childhood sweetheart, and now they're having a foal of their own. Dark forces are aligning though, and they're targeted by an enemy that no-one could have predicted. Fortunately, an equally unpredictable ally has also arrived, and is ready to fight to protect them. Luna and the mysterious stranger must work together to defeat their insane attacker.

AU tag because I'm ignoring the Season 6 finale and because of the reveal at the very end. Additional character tags (yes the spoiler cover is for a reason): Star Swirl

This story is a sequel to Change is Good

Over a decade after the events of the main series, Chrysalis and the Changelings have assimilated into Equestrian society and found their niche. Chrysalis has even got married! Now Luna has found a husband of her own, and such an event is a great opportunity for many with less than savoury intentions, and many a plot will come to fruition.
