Spike the Dragon, in another version of Equestria the hero of the Crystal Empire, and a hero of Equestria, didn't have it quite as nice in this one. He'd grown up as a street kid, taken in by a professional huckster, and raised for that trade, together with his friend Tempest Shadow.

When their 'teacher' had been picked up by the cops, the two went solo. Odd jobs, small cons... They built a real gang. And then, they started a night club! And it became a rather popular one at that. Good access to illicit substances, an aura that created the allure of danger...

But after Spike ran into a pegasus and helped her out, things begin to happen. New friends, and allies, to be made, new enemies to be discovered. Old wounds being explored. And in a dark office towering over the city, a powerful enemy takes an interest...

Inspired by that one episode of the TV show "Bones" where everything had been reimagined into a night club setting. Also, maybe partially inspired by "The Black Cheateau", the first real level in Sly 2 - Band of Thieves.

Tags: Dark for some parts of the story, but it is not the main part. sex, dub-con, hence the non-con tag, just to be sure, m/f, alluded m/m, substance abuse, crime,attempted brainwashing, and allutions to brainwashingincest, far reaching liberties taken with laws, police systems, gang culture etc, an incompetent half-wit of a writer doing his best

I am very bad at deciding tags and probably a bit overcautious, so your mileage may vary on them...
