''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10973364/1/Dark-Horizon Dark Horizon]]'' by ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3355561/soulfire72 soulfire72]]''
* ''Recommended by:'' https://www.fanfiction.net/u/8172374/ NomexGlove
* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' The world is saved, but the defeat of Malefor has only led the way to ominous new challenges for the struggling dragon species. As Spyro and Cynder attempt to settle into lives amongst their own kind, they find that not everyone has moved on from the terrible scars of years past. Adding to a grim and uncertain future for the heroes just discovering their place in the world.
* ''Comments:'' A favorite of mine, we have Spyro and Cynder leading a unique cast of both original and returning characters. Taking place both in during the mundanity of city life along with the excitement of acting as agents of the Guardian Elders. A story loaded with far reaching emotional depth as we see how war has devastated the sentient species of the world. So much care and attention has been given this grand story, I was delighted to see it completed and hope the author has more in store for us yet.
* ''Pairings:'' Spyro/Cynder, Multiple OCs/Multiple OCs

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6276485/1/Sadistic_Enmity Sadistic Enmity]]'' by Cgaume12
* ''Recommended by:'' Freya Crescent
* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' Pain. How can one define pain? Is it physical, mental, emotional? Maybe...it's all in your head...
* ''Comments:'' A look into Cynder's troubled mind.

''Fanfic/TheLegendOfSpyroANewDawn'' by Kendell
* ''Recommended by:'' Troper/TokoWH
* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' It's been nine years since the Dark Master was defeated but a darkness is coming on the horizon. The new Year of the Dragon brings with it the dawn of a vengeful new enemy intent on tearing Spyro and Cynder's peaceful lives apart at the seams. Finished!
* ''Comments'': An interesting take on events after the Legend of Spyro series, this is the first in a trilogy that's so far shaping up to be pretty good. Though the early parts are a bit rough, it mostly irons itself out as you go and presents quite the story. Also notable is the fact that the writer managed to make Ember quite popular with its readers, which that a lone should tell you something.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10018063/1/Lost Lost]]'' by ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2074435/Riverstyxx Riverstyxx]]''
* ''Recommended by:'' Troper/TokoWH
* ''Status:'' Dormant
* ''Synopsis:'' Cynder searches for Spyro.
* ''Comments:'' Taking place some time after the ending to [=DotD=], Lost follows Cynder as she wakes up on a beach with Spyro no where to be found. Determined to find him, Cynder sets out on a journey in an unfamiliar land... But it soon becomes apparent that there's more to this strange world than it appears... Started as a challenge to keep the author writing every single day, it's notable for it's frequent, almost once a day updates with occasional short breaks in between. Definitely a good read for any [=LoS=] fan.

* ''Recommended by:'' Troper/TokoWH
* ''Status:''
** ''A New Beginning'': Complete
** ''Night Terrors'': Dormant; last updated January 2018
* ''Synopsis:'' An ebony egg floats down the Silver River. Thrown into Spyro's shoes in more ways than one, can Cynder overcome what awaits? Did Ignitus make a mistake that will destroy the realms' last hope of salvation? More importantly, will Sparx shut up long enough for Cynder to get anything done? And where is Spyro; dead... or worse?
* ''Comments:'' While there are lot of Spyro fics out there that go by the concept "What if X character/OC/whoever was with/replaced Spyro during the events of the ''The Legend of Spyro?''", the Legend of Cynder series is one of the few that manages to make it entertaining. It starts out a bit rough, following TheStationsOfTheCanon for the most part as it pokes fun at a lot of the FridgeLogic and Headscratchers of the ''Legend of Spyro ''series, but it gets better as it goes on. It isn't just "''The Legend of Spyro'' [[RecycledInSpace but with Cynder as Spyro]]". New events eventually arise from this change, Cynder has a lot more of a headstrong personality than canon Cynder, the universe is generally expanded upon as time goes on, with new characters and plot lines added into the mix, all the while still never managing to lose it's roots of poking at the FridgeLogic the Legend of Spyro series presents, even when things eventually get a lot darker. Overall, this series is an interesting read, and if you're normally not big on the "The Legend of Spyro retold [[RecycledInSpace BUT WITH X CHARACTER AS THE MAIN CHARACTER!!]]", this at least worth a second glance.

''Fanfic/TheLegendOfDwayneAndLisa'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5648991/Foowd Foowd]]
* ''Recommended by:'' tvlegend
* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' Dwayne and Lisa Reed only ever had each other, neither ever knowing who their parents really were. However things change when they both find themselves warped to the dragon realms and turned into dragons. Soon they will not only have to contend with a new threat that looms over Spyro's world, but they may just learn something about themselves along the way...
* ''Comments:'' This is one of those Human to Dragon fanfictions (in which a Human goes into the ''Spyro'' universe and becomes a dragon), but this time, there's a bit of a twist in the tale. It's also got a few really funny moments, emotional scenes and it has a chilling villain. You have to read this fanfiction to find out who it is!

''Fanfic/AgeOfHeroesSaga'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1807173/Spartan-029 Spartan-029]]
* ''Recommended by:'' Deathbattlewatcher5
* ''Status:'' Completed
* ''Synopsis:'' Series takes place after ''[=DotD=]''. Spyro and Cynder have just saved the world. But their work isn't done yet. With Ignitus gone there's need for a new fire guardian. And with two new dragons arriving, Spyro and Cynder's relationship will be put to the test.
* ''Comments:''
** This is one of the first fanfics I ever read in it's entirety and I enjoyed the ride throughout both it and its sequels. It has an engaging story, complex characters, well detailed fight scenes and scenes both dramatic, humorous and epic. I definitely recommend this to any Spyro fanfic lover.
** ''Age of Heroes'' has the advantage of being one of the first complete series made after the conclusion of Legend of Spyro. However, I would not recommend this to anyone who is looking for top quality fanfiction, but it is a decent entry-level story into the fandom. Be warned that Spyro himself gets very little focus or development as opposed to the OCs and the main story is bland and unoriginal.

''Fanfic/PonyvilleGoesToTheDragons'' by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Freelancer Freelancer]].
* ''Recommended by:'' Tropers/TokoWH
* ''Status:'' Dormant
* ''Crossover with: WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''
* ''Pairings:'' [=Spike/Ember=]
* ''Synopsis:'' Spyro, Cynder, and Ember are accidently brought to Equestria by one of Twilight's failed spells. With no quick way home, the three find themselves stuck in Ponyville, and being housed by none other than Spike and the lavender unicorn mare herself. Soon, awkward and unusual situations arise, tempers flare with destructive consequences, personal demons threaten to rear their long suppressed heads once more, and Spike learns that sometimes if you wait long enough, love will find you.''
* ''Comments:'' An interesting crossover, and one of the few ''Spyro''[=/=]''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' crossover fics I've actually enjoyed reading. Though, you're mileage may vary due to some AlternativeCharacterInterpretation on Cynder's part, some CanonWelding of the classic and legend of Spyro series, it's main pairing, and of course, ponies, it's still a rather enjoyable cross-over fic none the less.

''[[http://purelight.smackjeeves.com/comics/2304368/pure-light-cover/ Pure Light]]'' by Xannador, later continued by Dragonoficeandfire, currently run by Ruscsi
* ''Recommended by:'' sananaryon
* ''TV Tropes page:'' Webcomic/PureLight
* ''Status:'' Indefinite hiatus as of April 1st, 2023.
* ''Synopsis:'' [[CrapsackWorld The world has gone to shit]]. Spyro has gone insane, and resurrected Malefor. They now rule the broken world as a BigBadDuumvirate. Warfang, ruled by the corrupt princess Ember, is now the only standing city. Everything else is a desolate wasteland infested by dark dragons under the Dark Masters. Cynder, grievously wounded by Spyro at the onset of his madness, leads small expeditions out, but it's a losing battle. Life within the walls are bleak for our Validor, Burner, TJ and Electroy.
* ''Comments:''
** This comic has gone through a lot of irl drama, but it's still a fantastic read. One of the most elaborate worlds ever created based on the ''Legend of Spyro'' series. The characters are all lovable, and you'll feel yourself enjoying the art as much as the story.
** Word of caution; this comic is in a very precarious state and has been since it started. Like most of its kind, it is unlikely to be finished anytime soon and is as likely to be dropped as the many that came before it.

''[[https://www.deviantart.com/dragonoficeandfire/art/Destiny-Intertwined-First-Cover-903925600 Destiny Intertwined]]'' by [[https://www.deviantart.com/dragonoficeandfire DragonOfIceAndFire]]
* ''Recommended by:'' Tropers/{{Theriocephalus}}
* ''TV Tropes page:'' Webcomic/DestinyIntertwined
* ''Status:'' Ongoing, active
* ''Synopsis:'' Fan comic set in the backstory of the main series, during the largely unexplored golden age of dragon culture. The story follows Hayze, a young shadow dragon who has been taken to Warfang for education despite the ongoing war between the central draconic culture and the dark dragons -- and despite the fact that the use of his type of magic is expressly illegal in the city. Not longer after, an additional complicating factor arises with the arrival of the world's first ever purple dragon...
* ''Comments: Beautifully'' drawn. The story, insofar as it has been laid out in the first two chapters, is interesting, and the author does a very good job of expanding on the very scant lore of this period and of the world's general structure.
