History FanFic / PonyvilleGoesToTheDragons

** There's also Ember and Spike. Though Spike has showed to be able to put up a decent fight if he has to in canon, in this fic he's able to [[spoiler: help the other dragons pretty well against the Canterlot royal guards]], while Ember was strictly TheChick or a [[NonActionGuy Non Action Girl]] in the games she appeared in, yet is able to keep up with Spyro and Cynder during the battle without much trouble.

* EasingIntoTheAdventure: Despite the fact the fic is currently fourteen chapters long as of adding this trope, the author has stated that the main plot ''[[UpToEleven actually hasn't started yet]]'', and that he prefers to character build and let things develop at a natural pace, instead of jumping in head first.

* {{Xenafication}}: Despite the fact that she still manages to keep her cheeky, carefree attitude, Ember is a lot more competent when it comes to fighting in this fic than in canon where she mostly a Spyro {{FanGirl}} NPC (a trait which is also notably toned down a lot thanks to [[OfficialCouple Cynder]] being in the fic and developing a relationship with Spike) who offers occasional FetchQuest, able to fend off quite a few [[spoiler: Canterlot royal guards]] without needing much assistance. Should be noted though that most of the fic's readers [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools actually find it rather refreshing change to how]] Ember's usually a DamselInDistress or a massive victim of RonTheDeathEater in most of the fics she appears in. ([[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Or both.]])

-----------------------
!! This fic contains the following tropes

* CrossOverShip: Spike and Ember. Needless to say, Twilight wasn't exactly happy about this when she found out, though she warms up a bit more to the idea when Spyro points out that Spike isn't really a baby, and actually rather close to their age. Rarity, however, [[{{Understatement}} has a much harder time accepting it...]]

Unfortunately seems to have become a DeadFic, as the last update was little over a year ago as of adding this here. The author himself says he still wants to complete it, but similarly said mention was some years ago as well, in addition to the fact that several of his other stories similarly haven't been updated in a year or so now as well.

* LoveTriangle: One ends up developing between Spike, Ember, and Rarity, though Ember is completely unaware of it, and Spike only slightly notices that Rarity is somewhat hostile towards Ember. Basically, Ember ends up blurting out that she thinks Spike is cute without thinking. After talking about it, Spike wonders if it's better idea to start a relationship with instead of the mare he's been drooling over all this time. Admitting that he does really like Ember and that his advances towards Rarity haven't gone any further beyond her treating him like a little brother, he decides it best to go with Ember. However, the main reason Rarity treated him like that was because she honestly he ''was'' a baby and it was nothing more than a child-ish crush. When she hears AJ explain what Spyro said about Spike being relatively close to their age and how he started a relationship with Ember, she [[{{Understatement}} doesn't exactly take it too well...]]

The author himself says he still wants to complete it, but similarly said mention was quite some time ago, as well as the fact that several of his other stories similarly haven't been updated in a year or so now as well.

* UngratefulBitch: Rarity. Cynder takes offense on Sweetie's behalf when Diamond Tiara starts picking on the filly and makes her back off. Rarity repays this by [[DisproportionateRetribution by getting Cynder arrested by the Canterlot Royal Guard because Cynder and Spike have developed feelings for each other]].

* ThereWasADoor: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Multiple characters ''do'' still use Twi's front door during dramatic scenes... They just have a nasty habit of [[RunningGag knocking it of it's hinges]] while doing so.

* ActorAllusion: Twilight notes how odd it is that Ember's voice sounds a lot like how she sounded as a teenager. TaraStrong, Twilight's voice actor, also did Ember's voice in the games she appeared in.

** There's also Ember and Spike. Though Spike has showed to be able to put up a decent fight if he has to in canon, in this fic he's able to [[spoiler: help the other dragons pretty well against the Canterlot royal guards]], while Ember was strictly TheChick [[NonActionGuy non action girl]] in the games she appeared in, yet is able to keep up with Spyro and Cynder during the battle without much trouble.

* {{Fainting}}: Happens to Diamond Tiara when she answers the door to the school and Cynder there. After her past experiance with her and never really feeling fear of retribution before, she passes out the second Cynder snarls at her. Noticeably, Charliee is the only one in the class who worries about her when it happened.

* MomentKiller: When Spike and Ember return to Twilight's house after deciding to start a relationship, they start talking about how each of their worlds show affection differently. When Ember asks how his word does so, Spike responds by kissing her. Unfortunatelty, all groups involved in the current situation return at that exact moment. Needless to say, Twilight [[{{Understatement}} wasn't happy to see her baby brother/son figure kissing a female dragon...]]

* ObviousCrossoverMethod: Like most [=FiM=] cross-over fics, this one starts with Twilight screwing up a spell and teleporting the cross-over characters to her world. In a twist though, the spell ''was'' being performed correctly, but what happened was that Applejack ended up startling Twilight just as she was in the middle of casting the spell, causing her to jump and smuge one of the runes used in the spell. (A fact that AJ feels really guilty about.)

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Despite the fact that Spyro and Cynder are in the peek of their power in the fic, [[spoiler: Shining Armor and the Canterlot royal guards]] managed to put up quite a fight against them with [[spoiler: Shining Armor]] managing to go toe to toe with Cynder without missing a beat. According to [[WordOfGod the author]], this was because he was tired of how [[spoiler: Shining Armor and the royal guards]] tend to get [[TheWorfEffect Worf'd]] in every fic [[spoiler: they]] appear in.

* RunningGag: Twilight's poor tree home/library can't stay in good shape for more than a few seconds. Over the course of the fic, it's been completely wrecked by a spell gone wrong, multiple fights have broken out in that have knocked everything over more than once, had it's front door knocked off it's hinges repeatedly, and ''completely decimated'' by Cynder's tournado attack. Needless to say, this gets repeatedly [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] over the course of the fic.

* ObviousCrossoverMethod: Like most [=FiM=] cross-over fics, this one starts with Twilight screwing up a spell and teleporting the cross-over characters to her world. In a twist though, the spell ''was'' being proformed correctly, but what happened was that Applejack ended up startling Twilight just as she was in the middle of casting the spell, causing her to jump and smuge one of the runes used in the spell. (A fact that AJ feels really guilty about.)
* PetTheDog: Cynder does this several times to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. From saving to Sweetie from Diamond Tiara to letting Apple Bloom ride on her back when she was tired. Even ''she'' is surprised by how well she treets them.

* TeachMeHowToFight: Spike asks this of Spyro [[spoiler: after the incident with the royal guards.]] Obviously, Twi wasn't happy about the idea. The only reason she allowed it was because she was too tired from getting no sleep the previous night. Had it not been for that, the narrative stats she 'would have give a list of arguments that would have made Equestria's best lawer look like a complete joke'.

* UseYourHead: Spyro attempts to teach Spike how to properly do this for when he gets horns. When Twilight sees her surrogate little brother/son slaming his head against a wall though, she isn't exactly estatic about it.

* CasualDangerDialog: Despite being in the middle of a massive fight against [[spoiler: the Canterlot royal guards]], Spike and Spyro end up striking up a conversation about each others powers without much regard to chaos going on around them.
* CanonWelding: Despite Spyro being based off the VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro canon and Cynder also appearing a long side him, Ember never appeared in the [=LoS=] series, being a strickly classic series character. Despite this, the fic treats it as if Ember had been a long with Spyro and Cynder during the events of the series. (Which actually ''is'' pretty common in [=LoS=] fics.)
* CrossOverShip: Spike and Ember. Needless to say, Twilight wasn't exactly happy about this when she find out, though she warms up a bit more to the idea when Spyro points out that Spike isn't really a baby, and actually rather close to their age. Rarity, however, [[{{Understatement}} has a much harder time accepting it...]]

* ThereWasADoor: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. Multiple characters ''do'' still use Twi's front door during dramatic scenes... They just have a nasty habit of [[RunningGag knocking it of it's hinges]] while doing so.

* ObviousCrossoverMethod: Like most [=FiM=] cross-over fics, this one starts with Twilight screwing up a spell and teleporting the cross-over characters to her world. In a twist though, it the spell ''was'' being proformed correctly, this was caused by Applejack startling Twilight just as she was in the middle of casting the spell, causing her to jump and smuge one of the runes used in the spell. (A fact that she feels really guilty about.)

Now left with a big problem of having to explain their situation to one of Pony kinds most feared beings, things take a hectic turn as the black dragoness is none too happy about being stranded in a land of candy colored ponies, and though the other two manage to adapt pretty well, a certain purple-maned fashionista isn't exactly ecstatic when one of her biggest fans starts to develop feelings for the new pink dragoness...

* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Applejack says something a long the lines like this to Rarity when she has to hold her down due to her fliping out over Spike starting to date Ember, saying that she knew Spike liked her yet didn't do anything about when she had the chance, and it would be unfair to try and break them up because she can't have him now. She also tells her if she dares lay a hoof on Ember, she'll ''prefer'' being sent to the moon compared to what she'll do to her... [[spoiler: Of course, Applejack [[ExactWords never said anything about the Canterlot royal guards laying a hoof on her though...]]]]

The story starts one day in Ponyville when Twilight discovers a spell that will allow her to connect to the realm dragons originated from. Hopeful that he might be able to talk to some dragons who ''aren't'' complete and total jerks, Spike is thrilled at the thought and the two quickly set up preprations for the spell.

Things, however, quickly take a sour turn when Applejack barges in while Twilight's casting the spell, knocking her out of her concientration and accidentally causing her to smuge one of the runes. One magical explosion of energy later, she quickly finds herself now housing three unconcious dragons. One purple one, one a violte-ish black, and one bright pink.

* BullyHunter: Due to her upbring, Cynder absolutely ''[[BerserkButton hates]]'' people who pick on the weak, and comes to Sweetie Bells aid when she hears her being picked on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon by scaring them off. [[spoiler: Ends up coming back to bite her in the tail when Rarity uses her threats towards them as an example of the dragons being dangerious to bring the Canterlot royal guards to Ponyville in an attempt to get rid of Ember.]]

* CrossOverShip: Spike and Ember. Needless to say, Twilight wasn't exactly happy about this when she find out, though she warms up a bit more to the idea when Spyro points out that Spike isn't really a baby, and actually rathyer close to their age.

* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Applejack says something a long the lines like this to Rarity when she has to hold her down due to her fliping out over Spike starting to date Ember, saying that she knew Spike liked her yet didn't do anything about when she had the chance, and it would be unfar to try and break them up because she can't have him now. She also tells her if she dares lay a hoof on Ember, she'll ''prefer'' being sent to the moon compaired to what she'll do to her... [[spoiler: Of course, Applejack [[ExactWords never said anything about the Canterlot royal guards laying a hoof on her though...]]]]

* PoorCommunicationKills: Fluttershy ends up walking into Twilight's home just as Twilight is telling the dragons about Sugar Cube Corner, making them hungry and start to drool. Naturally, being terrified of dragons, Fluttershy interpretates this the wrong way and assumes that they intend to eat ''them'', and runs out screaming how the dragons were about to eat her friends and sends the town into a panic. Though things eventually calm down, it's not until after Big Mac and Cynder get into a fight (and [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking knocks Twilight's door off the hinges]]) do things finally calm down.

** There's also Ember and Spike. Though Spike has showed to be able to put up a decent fight if he has to in canon, in this fic he's able to [[spoiler: help the other dragons pretty well against the Canterlot royal gaurds]], while Ember was strickly TheChick [[NonActionGuy non action girl]] in the games she appeared in, yet is able to keep up with Spyro and Cynder during the battle without much trouble.

* {{Xenafication}}: Despite the fact that she still manages to keep her preeky, carefree attitude, Ember is a lot more competent when it comes to fighting in this fic than in canon where she mostly a Spyro {{FanGirl}} NPC (a trait which is also notably toned down a lot thanks to [[OfficialCouple Cynder]] being in the fic and developing a relationship with Spike) who offers occasional FetchQuest, able to fend off quite a few [[spoiler: Canterlot royal guards]] without needing much assistance. Should be noted though that most of the fics readers [[TropesAreTools actually find it rather refreashing change to how]] Ember's usually a DamselInDistress or a massive victim of RonTheDeathEater in most of the fics she appears in.
