Artist’s description from the Deviantart status post:

Here ya go, human Spike! C: First time I drew anyone from MLP as a human, mainly because the discourse that comes with choosing the skin color of the characters, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut whatever I’ma do what I wanna.

So ye, Spikey-boi in the Fluffy!AU. c: About 10 years old and the owner of Twilight, Spike is the adopted son of Celestia. He’s about the same in this AU: sweet, smart, sarcastic, and with one hell of an appetite. However, Spikey isn’t unscathed in this AU.

He comes from a rather abusive household: what exactly they’ve done to him, no one truly knows since he won’t talk about it, but what is known is his parents took him one night on a long, long drive before stopping the car and telling him to get out. And once he did, they just sped off into the night, leaving a younger Spike to stand on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, with nothin’ but his PJs and his favorite dragon teddy to accompany him.

Spike suffers from PTSD, hence his reliance on Twilight in this AU.

It’s late and I’m gonna go to bed but I’ll add more later! C:
