The contrast between their characters makes it interesting. Spike is a young dragon, and Applejack is a hard - working earth pony. Their different species and personalities create unique interactions in fanfiction. For example, Spike might be in awe of Applejack's strength and determination, while Applejack could be charmed by Spike's loyalty.
I'm sorry, I don't have specific fanfiction to recommend directly. But you can try searching on fanfiction websites like Fimfiction. There are usually a lot of fan - created stories about various relationships in the My Little Pony universe, including Spike and Applejack.
I'm not entirely sure as 'abuse' in fanfiction is a very concerning and often inappropriate topic. In general, My Little Pony (MLP) fanfiction should be positive and in line with the show's values. Spike is a character in MLP, and any form of abuse in fanfiction is not acceptable in a healthy fandom.
One common theme is friendship. Since they are from different species, their friendship development is often a central focus. For example, they might start off as strangers but gradually become close friends through shared experiences.
A popular MLP Flim and Applejack fanfic is 'Flim's Apple Orchard Adventure'. It tells the story of how Flim, who is usually into more flashy business ideas, discovers the charm and hard work involved in Applejack's orchard. The story shows his growth in understanding the value of traditional farming. Another interesting one is 'When Applejack Meets Flim's Family'. It delves into how Applejack copes with Flim's rather eccentric family while trying to maintain a good relationship with Flim.
A frequent theme is business and trade. Since Applejack has her apple business and Flim is often involved in some sort of business - like schemes. Fanfics may explore how they work together or against each other in business dealings. Also, the theme of growth is common. Whether it's Flim learning the value of hard work like Applejack or Applejack learning to be more flexible like Flim, their personal growth is a big part of many fanfics.
A really interesting MLP Spike x Gabby fanfic is 'When Dragons and Griffons Meet'. This fanfic delves deep into the cultural differences between Spike, a dragon, and Gabby, a griffon. It shows how they overcome these differences and build a strong friendship, and maybe something more. It's well - written with detailed descriptions of their emotions and the world around them.
Perhaps there is a magical artifact in the MLP world that has the power to disrupt the balance between the living and the dead. Danny Phantom senses this disturbance and travels to the MLP world. Applejack, being the responsible pony she is, gets involved. They have to go on a quest to find the artifact and keep it safe. During their journey, they face many challenges, like dealing with other ponies who don't trust Danny at first, and they also have to overcome the obstacles set by the villains who want to use the artifact for their own evil purposes.
Well, it could be a really interesting crossover. Spike could find himself in the world of the Powerpuff Girls. Maybe he'd be a bit confused at first, seeing all the different things. He might end up teaming up with the girls to fight some common enemy, like a new villain that combines the chaos of Equestria and Townsville.
