Spike has established a lot about dragons and his kind, and knows of some troubling features. Will he find someone to cherish, or will he forever live alone, comforted only by his greed?

'The Challenges of Being a Dragon' is my first fan fiction, and an experiment on my behalf to toy with the concepts of Equestrian life. The project explores a romantic perspective between Spike and others, including Rarity, though it should be noted that this is NOT a primarily Spike + Rarity fiction.
