Spike's got three whole days to himself while Twilight is away at the Crystal Empire. Three whole days to be independent and free to do whatever he wants.

Or he would have, if a female dragon hadn't mistaken him for an abandoned hatchling. Now he's been snatched up and taken to her home to be "properly cared for."

Stuck in a cave with an overly-protective dragon intent on mothering him...maybe he should have just gone with Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle, a ward of the crown ever since she accidentally turned her parents into plants, is dispatched by Queen Celestia to the small hamlet of Ponyville; the Unicorn has expressed fear that an eldritch Alicorn of the past will arise there. And when Twilight Sparkle fails to defeat the fiendish NightMare Moon in the two Queens' former palace of Concordia Arbos, the planet is plunged into night on one side and day on the other. With only shards of rock to her name and a band of ponies at her side, she sallies forth to bring back the Sun. She will traverse field and mountain, desert and labyrinth if she needs to. Will she be able to solve the mystery of the Elements of Harmony? Who was NightMare Moon, and what evils come to Equestria apart from her everlasting night? And why does Queen Celestia believe that making friends takes priority over everything else for Twilight...?

Twilight gets a familiar looking book and upon reading it, she learns lessons not only from her number one assistant but she learns from her friends too. Dealing with the struggle of forgiveness and lost opportunities.

[GoldenVerse side fic.] After Raindrops brings up some unsettling facts about Spike, Twilight and Rarity are forced to take a look at themselves and their treatment of a young Drake who has been a major part of their life. For Twilight, it's the role of a mother who's taken for granted and ignored her son for most of his life. For Rarity, it's the treatment of a very special friend as free labor.

After their bout of introspection, they work to make it up to him, and grow themselves along the way. This is the Momma Twi, Sparity fic I mentioned in the comment section of "Getting Ready".

First fic of the Goldenverse: Golden Wings

While practicing transformation spells, Twilight accidentally hits Spike, temporarily trapping him in a colt's body. While Twilight tries finding the solution to turn Spike back, he has to learn about his new body, and a new bit of information from Applebloom that might change his life for years to come.

(Note: This is a story I wrote quite some time ago, and was originally published in full on DA a little over a year ago. Also, as a heads up, I know the first three chapters aren't exactly very high quality, they were written and published on DA before my editor became a brony and I was more comfortable sending him my stuff. The chapters after that though (4 and onward) are in better quality, I can promise that. Also, this is set around mid-season 2, to kinda understand why certain factors were left out.)

Celestia fails to save Equestria after Nightmare Moon's encounter. Ever since then, Celestia was nowhere to be seen. A thousand years has passed. A pony named Twilight Sparkle, a captain of the royal knights finds a book about the elements of harmony and the 2 princesses who ruled this land together. She chooses to find where Princess Celestia has disappeared to and save the corrupted princess.

((Twilight is not an alicorn here, she does not have wings.)

A collab with the awesome BR.

Spike thought he was done with Garble. After the botched egg raid, he supposed he'd seen the last of him. Hopefully he'll never have to see him again.

Too bad for him, because when Garble strolls into town with some very interesting news, Spike's gonna end up seeing a whole lot more of him than he expected. Of course, that comes with its own set of problems.

Who would have thought a pony and a changeling could have children together. I certainly wouldn't have. This is Shining Armor, and I'm in a weird situation. Chrysalis has shown up to my home and dropped a kid off stating that it was our son.

What will Cadance think? How am I going to raise a changeling child? Why does Chrysalis keep coming into my life, and why am I finding it harder to keep her away? Hopefully answers can be found with as little problems as possible. Oh who the Tartarus am I kidding, my seed is a changeling! There's bound to be a problem along the way.

Story inspired by Bakki's excellent fanart.
