While trying to find a place to hide from some bullies, Fleetfoot finds a stolen dragon egg. A single thought goes through her mind: bring it home.

This story is a sequel to What's Your Problem?

With the second semester of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s school of Friendship in full swing, a series of field trips is planned to foreign nations.  Specifically, the home countries of the five non-pony exchange students. These will be both a gesture of goodwill on all sides, and a chance for the various cultures to be exposed to each other first hoof, claw, and talon.

Follow Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, and Sandbar as they continue to mature while learning about the countries their friends come from.

This is my second long-form story on here, meant to be a deeper exploration of the Student 6 and their homelands. Expect a lot of soft world-building and minor character development, and if you get any ideas for your own fanfictions from all this exploration, good for you! :3

The arcs, in tentative order, will go through...

• The Hive (Changelings)
• Mount Aris (Hippogriffs)
• The Dragon Lands (Dragons)
• Yakyakistan (Yaks)
• Griffonstone (Griffons)

There will also be interludes which explore the Young Six and other students, with more detailed character development / analysis than the first one.

Spike wins the Gauntlet of Fire but decides not to give the Bloodstone Scepter to Ember for he has other plans in mind. Twilight and her friends are not thrilled to lose Spike but the Dragons welcome him. Spike discovers what Dragons are missing will lead them to prosperity.

Takes place during season 6 episode 5.

This story is a sequel to The Maretian

In the Changeling Space Program, many are chosen, but only a hoofful have the privilege to be named astromares. Never in her life had Queen Chrysalis dreamed of hosting an alien from another dimension, but yet it has to happen. Stranded on Equus until fit to fly home, Mark Watney will have to adjust to life of aliens and magic...

This is his story...

Twilight is reminded yet again how little she knows about dragons and it's up to her and her friends to figure out a way to help Spike. At least she has Ember as a friend to help her understand whats going on and guide her to a possible solution.

Drake McCain was your typical adult nerd doing typical adult nerd stuff. Until he got dragged to Equestria by a certain chaotic weirdo. What could possibly go wrong? Everything.

Note: this story will contain the following- sarcasm, ineptitude, dirty jokes (are there any other kind?) and much, much, more!

A long awaited secret has been held. Spike had become ill and now must come to learn of an inheritance that has been around since the birth of the Dragon Race. He will finally know where he came from, who he is, and what the future may hold for him. However, dark paths lie ahead and fate intertwines with the string. Foes rise, away from him and in front. Ponies will have their own battles to face without him to see it, but his own fights will be their own dismay. What will be his future at the end and will it be his choice to make or a sacrifice in which may cost the lifes of the ones he cares for.

A new red star appears in the sky. It streaks across with unnatural swiftness. With it comes a new threat, raining down from the day sky in great strands of death that eats all organic matter it can find, leaving the terrain scarred and ponies dead.

Based on Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, but set in Equestria. We will not be using Pern characters, nor is it required you read any Pern books, or even know what Pern is, in the end. This is a story set in Equestria, with the ponies having to deal with a new natural threat/calamity and hopefully rising to the occasion.

"I can't believe I overlooked something as simple as feathers. It's no wonder you were having trouble. I wish I had more 'dragonish' knowledge to give you..."

Those words will have far reaching consequences when Twilight took those words to heart and contacted the one dragon that she thought could help: Dragon Lord Ember. Whom she sends will shake the very foundations of history and magic.
