The life and time of Spike the dragon as Agent Dragon Fire – S.M.I.L.E (Secret Monster Intelligence League of Equestria)'s Dragon Agent.

Spike takes on the S.M.I.L.E agency’s training program to get him up to speed with the fighting techniques, the gadgets to better prepare him for the field missions he’ll be on with Agent Sweetie Drops and Fleur de Lis.

Spike helps Fleur and Sweetie Drops stop a swarm of parasites that’s been eating up Appleloosa’s apples. On the way home, Spike hitches a ride with Rarity and Pinkie Pie near the end.

Spike helps Sweetie Drops with her date with Lyra Heartstring. Conveniently, he happens to be having a date with Rarity in the area.

Spike, Fleur, and Sweetie Drops help Cranky Doodle Donkey rescue Steven Magnet from the changelings.

A dangerous criminal is planning to open the gates of Tartarus and set the monsters, and Equestria’s worst criminals loose.

Spike, Fleur, and Sweetie Drops must recover a super secret, and powerful recipe that was stolen.

Since time immemorial, the Horn of Celestia has stood above the ancient northern glaciers. It is older than the Empire, older than Equestria itself. The tower carries many ancient legends, but the most credible is this: that during the time of strife, ponies sacrificed their greatest powers to come together into a single kingdom, committed to peace and friendship forevermore.

Lyra Heartstrings is convinced there is more to this story, and after years of preparation, she has arrived at the tower with an expedition of friends and fellow experts to discover the truth for herself. One way or another, she will discover the secrets concealed in the ancient horn, even if it costs her everything.

This story was written on my Patreon as a commission for HMage, but was one of the earliest casualties of the pandemic. As a result, only part 1 of 2 was written. There are roughly eleven chapters taking us to what was meant to be the halfway point of the story. At least for now, the story will end there--not as a painful cliffhanger, but before our heroes transition to the next phase of their adventure.

The story is now continuing again on a monthly basis.

Editing by Two Bit and Sparktail, cover by Zutcha. The works.

Bon-Bon struggles with the memories of her life in S.M.I.L.E. - the tensions and horrors of it haunt her nightscape. She can speak about them to no one: not only are they secret, she knows the things she faced and sins she committed are beyond what Equestria can handle.

Lyra Heartstrings wants her marefriend to spend the night with her, instead of retreating away to hide.

Even a mountain can be worn down by the rain, and now Bon-Bon must expose Lyra to what keeps her up at night.

Spike was just your average, run of the mill, regular kind of baby dragon, who is Twilight's Number One assistant.

That all changed, however, when he got involved in secret agent works with a retired guard and a background pony. Now, he's doing secret agent stuff.

He's a S.M.I.L.E. Dragon.

Lyra shares far, far too much information with Big Macintosh about her love life.

My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.

Ponyville Mare's Excessive Pranking Leads To Zombie Outbreak

Ponyville Mare Hijacks Parade Float And Careens Into Lake

You can find headlines like this in any newspaper. Crammed somewhere in the back, bought from a smaller publication for a few bits to fill space. Most ponies laugh, if they spot them at all, and then move on. But one stallion took a particular interest in these strange stories and especially their protagonist.

After years of research and study, he's determined to track her down. One way or another, he will find this mysterious Ponyville Mare.

A second person one shot story about you and your favorite Arch Nemesis, Agent Sweetie Drops. Tonight you planned on a nice night of murder and villainy, but something else has come along to stop your fun. Real world problems.

The morning after an intense high can be pretty weird, especially when said 'high' was turning into a raging she-demon.

Beaten, humiliated, and forced to face her inner demons, to say that Sunset was not in a good place would have been an understatement. Yet, much to her surprise, her emotions were far more in control than the situation would have warranted. Whatever happened last night, it was messing with her, and now she had to deal with that, alongside the impossible task of making amends for what she tried to do.

Unfortunately for her, she isn't the only one feeling strange.

Fortunately for her, a certain someone doesn't think her situation is as hopeless as she does.

My own attempt at a classic fic premise, involving my favorite little bacon horse. Rated T for the occasional bit of bad language.

While not a direct sequel, this takes place in the same universe as Obsession and Ambition. They're not at all necessary to understand this story, but they are connected to this if you want to read them.

Packing up your entire life and moving to Ponyville? Not a problem. Starting your business from scratch (again)? Piece of cake. Getting others to accept your lifestyle? Filly, please. Give me a real challenge.
Getting ready for a wedding? ...Come on. This is Ponyville. Fifty bits says you can't even get past the invitations without something going wrong.
