And just when his luck changes it only gets worse when he gets killed on a date, only to be revived with the power of a dragon. With a new power and a group of magical girls to help guide him his new life may very well be better than his old life.

11[[foldercontrol]]
12[[folder: General]]
13* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:When Spike has sex with any one of the girls in his harem he gains their superpowers. This is what he becomes after having sex with all of them.]]
14* ArcVillain: The villains for the original fic are mostly comprise of members from the Legion of Doom:
15** Chapters 1 to 17 has Nightmare Moon and her CoDragons, Trixie and Descent.
16** 19 to 20 has a lamia named Camille.
17** 21 to 27 has Queen Chrysalis with a brainwashed Sunset Shimmer serving as her [[TheHeavy Heavy]].

19** 34 to 46 has King Sombra.
20** From 47 to the rest of the story has Lord Tirek and his CoDragons, Grogar and Katrina.
21** So far in Harem Legion, only the Storm King and his [[TheDragon commander]], Tempest Shadow had appeared. But it is heavily implied that there are other villains lying and waiting.
22* AscendedExtra: Stone Edge was originally a minor [[OriginalCharacter OC]] in Fanfic/TheGirlsOfMyLife, another Spike harem fic made by [=Wildcard25=]. Here he becomes TheMentor to Spike, and is given a LoveInterest and an important {{Backstory}}
23* AssholeVictim:
24** [[spoiler:Grogar]] in the first story, [[spoiler:A kaiju-sized, rage-induced Spike grabs him and squeezed the life out of the necromancer until he popped, leaving nothing but blood on Spike's claw. As gruesome and messy as his death was however, bear in mind that he was a SmugSnake who: [[YouKilledMyFather killed Stone Edge's parents]] [[IHaveYourWife by using some very underhanded tactics]]; raised said father as an undead pawn years later to attack innocent bystanders and even his own son, [[ForcedToWatch while making him aware of what he's doing but unable to do anything about it]]; and tried to make Spike feel despair, by casting an illusion spell that made him experience the death of the girls he loves, [[TheStarscream in an insane attempt to take control of him so he could use the power of the Dragon King to overthrow Tirek]], [[HoistByHisOwnPetard which caused Spike to turn into a giant mindless berserker in the first place]]. Needless to say, his death was ''very'' deserving.]]
25** [[spoiler:The Storm King]] in the sequel, ''Harem Legion'', [[spoiler:as well as he was [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]] by the Titans and was left at the bottom of the ocean. Though Spike and the girls may have [[MakeWayForTheNewVillains trade one threat for a more powerful one]], The Storm King was a ruthless conqueror who, a couple chapter ago, [[BadBoss tried to kill Tempest]] [[YouHaveFailedMe for disobeying him]] and subjucated the Titans to his will with magical devices in the chapter after that.]]
26* BattleHarem: This is what the Mane 6 are to Spike.
27* BigDamnHeroes: It's a pretty regular occurrence in this story for backup to arrive at opportune times.
28* BrainwashedAndCrazy: A fair number of the main villains and MonstersOfTheWeek are this.
29* {{Expy}}: Several:
30** Spike is obviously one to Issei Hyoudou, both being [[ChivalrousPervert chivalrous perverts]] who get killed on their first date and are resurrected.
31** Bahamut is one to Ddraig, both powerful dragons sealed away in the protagonist.
32** Twilight Sparkle is one to [[TeamMom Rias Gremory]], both being nonhumans attending the same school as the main character, as well as bring him back to life when he's killed.
33** Rarity is one to [[TheTease Akeno Himejima]], both being the most flirtatious to the main character and has the largest bre- ASSETS of the main female characters.
34** Fluttershy is one to [[NiceGirl Asia Argento]], both being the kindest and timidly out of the girls.
35** Snips and Snails are one to [[ThoseTwoGuys Matsuda and Motohama]], both being friends of the lead male protagonist, and are just as perverted as he is.
36** Shining Armor is one to Sirzechs Lucifer, both being the older brother to the leading female protagonist.
37** Discord is one to Azazel, both being mentor-like figure to the team and very unpredictable.
38* {{Fanservice}}: Given the source material, this should be obvious.
39* HaremPowered: [[spoiler:Spike is able to gain the powers of his teammates by having sex with them.]]
40* InterspeciesRomance: Spike (Human/Dragon) has romanced different kinds of races like Ponies (Twilight Sparkle, [[spoiler: Lyra Heartstrings, Bonbon (Sweetie Drops), Vinyl Scratch, Fleur De Lis, Treehugger, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Sapphire Shores, Lotus Blossom, Aloe, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Saffron Masala, Sunshine Smiles, Moonlight Raven, Swoon Song, Dear Darling, Fond Feather, Sassy Saddles, Prim Hemline, Photo Finish, Coco Pommel, Inky Rose, Daring Do, Cherry Jubilee, Lily Lace, Starlight Glimmer),]] Humans (Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Sunset Shimmer, [[spoiler: Rara, Maud Pie, Limestone Pie, Marble Pie), Dragon (Dragon Lord Ember), Zebra (Zecora), Sirens (The Dazzlings) etc.]]
41* {{Polyamory}}: Much like the [[HaremGenre source]] [[Literature/HighSchoolDXD material]]. Currently, [[spoiler: Spike's harem has ''38'' girls, including Dragon Lord Ember, Sapphire Shores, Fleur De Lis, Princess Celestia ''and'' Princess Luna, to name a few. Oh, and Spike's part of Fleur De Lis' harem, which has both stallions and mares in it.]]

44* SpiritAdvisor: As Twilight mentions, the soul of the Dragon King Bahamut is contained within the Fire Ruby that healed Spike. Spike finds out later that Bahamut can talk to him, so Bahamut ends up as his mentor.
45* VitriolicBestBuds: Spike, Snips and Snails are this to each other. They regularly tease each other and as Spike gets more attention from women the other two grow increasingly jealous. Regardless, they consider each other to be the best of friends.

48[[folder: ''Highschool Dragon'']]
49* AdaptationalVillainy:
50** Trixie Lulamoon willingly worked for Nightmare Moon in contrast to the Shadowbolts who were brainwashed and crazy and she was the one who killed Spike in the first place. [[spoiler:Subverted however, after Nightmare Moon's defeat]].
51** While Prince Blueblood was no peach in the original series, he's even worse here. [[spoiler:He was a mole for Nightmare Moon and was more than willing to sell out his own Family and kingdom if it meant that he would get to have the throne]].
52* BackFromTheDead: Just like in the source material.
53** [[spoiler: Spike dies again when he use too much energy during his berserk mode causing Twilight and Spike’s harem mourned him. But as Twilight was crying for him, her magic from her horn drawn to Fire Ruby (the object that resurrected Spike), causing the object to glow more brightly which bring Spike back to life.... again.]]

60** This is justified for [[spoiler:the Shadowbolts]] because they were BrainwashedAndCrazy.
61** As a contrast with the above two, this is averted with [[spoiler:Prince Blueblood.]] Their role in Nightmare Moon's plan is given a full criminal punishment.
62** ZigZagged with Spike. [[spoiler: Once Spike’s no longer on the influence from Dazzlings, he apologized to his harem for things he did to them while being influenced by Dazzlings and while the girls have no hard feeling about Spike’s temporary JerkAss behavior toward them, they won’t let him off the hook easily and they made him the butler for them in order for him to make a lot of effort to earn the girls’ forgiveness for him.]]
63* EvilPowerVacuum: [[spoiler:Even though our heroes have finally taken down the Legion of Doom for good, in the epilogue Bahamut warns Spike that, sooner or later, other dark forces will take their place. And it ends with Tempest Shadow informing the Storm King of Tirek's demise.]]

68* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Grogar [[spoiler:unwittingly turned Spike into a giant berserker in an attempt to take control of him,]] to say that it backfired on the old goat would be an understatement.

70* LaserGuidedAmnesia:

88* TheEndOrIsIt: [[spoiler:Spike and the girls have finally defeated Tirek, the last member of LegionOfDoom, for good and peace is restored.
