A collab with the awesome BR.
Spike thought he was done with Garble. After the botched egg raid, he supposed he'd seen the last of him. Hopefully he'll never have to see him again.
Too bad for him, because when Garble strolls into town with some very interesting news, Spike's gonna end up seeing a whole lot more of him than he expected. Of course, that comes with its own set of problems.
You now have my attention. This is going to be interesting.
Didn't see that coming.

Didn't see this coming but it has a lot of potential.

3315926 I actually had that in mind when I wrote that part.
Absolutely love it! Please continue, I don't see too many fics featuring Garble, and even less in a good light. Love the brother angle too. All in all, looking forward to the next chapter!
what the fuck did twilight do did she drunk ten ponuds of vodke or what?
History lesson: The saying "blood is thicker than water" is derived from a similar sounding Roman saying "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the waters of the womb" surprisingly the original Roman saying means the exact opposite of the current rendition.
"Put your integrity before your family" is basically what the original means
The More You Know
Hm... I will follow this.
Seems as good a reason as any for Garble to show up. And that bit with DTSS makes me wonder how he'd get along with some of the other characters.
This seems to happen a lot more often in stories than it should.
Really interesting. Fav'd and liked.
Ya get a fave buddy!!!!!!!
Holy fuck, I'm a kiddo. Wut wut.
You have my money, my like, my fav, just keep it up!
Colored me intrigued!
Wasn't aware you could terrify a one-dimensional object...
That said, awesome story and I'm looking forward to how it continues.
Especially if it turns out that Garble is Spike's brother.
Hate to nitpick, but I just really hate when people use the phrase 'blood is thicker than water' like that.
The full version of that saying is 'the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb' meaning that the family you choose is more important than who you're ACTUALLY related to. In this case it would bean that Spike would stick with Twilight, rather than Garble, if Garble actually IS Spike's brother that is.
For one horrible, lurching moment I dreaded to think I'd see a romance tag on this.
You have restored a -small- bit of faith I had in the community. Good show.
3317818 But no, it turns out it is a long lost brother fic

Better than another horrible m/m crack!fic.
Sounds very interesting, I'll put it in read later
*finishes first chapter*
Yep, I'm gonna enjoy this. Also, was that some ship-teasing there about Twilight and Garble?
[Diamond Tiara froze, completely aware that she had crossed a scared line.]
Sacred.

I love history and its been a while since someone has mentioned the orgins of that saying.
It really is crazy what happens if you take enough people and time and throw it towards something.
Also this.

Its a shame that the images get cut up a bit if their too big.
You now have my attention. I'm interested to see what happens next.
3317993 Don't be hating on male on male you dirty horse fucker.
What was she going to reform Grable of? Being a jerk and a asshole? He isn't evil... just a teenager.
3319262 yep hes just like my brother
who is 15 and i can beat up
[im 13]
Oddly enough, blood is thicker than water actually refers to friends you make in battle (blood-brothers) vs the water of the womb and saying that friends are more important than whose your relative. I wonder if Diamond tried to hire Discord. Discord is taller than Garble after all and could literally one-shot the entire planet with snap of his fingers.

Fix'd, thanks for pointing it out.
3317752 In other planes of existence, there are sapient linear entities...
Do not request the knowledge, for it will drive you mad. (It is too late for me...)
3319816 same here...
Love the calm way Garble delivered that line. Also
3319816
Some would say I am already mad, though I must consider: Aren't we all mad in our own unique way?
this is a great story and new idea! :D
i hope to see this continued soon!
a few spelling erros here and there but nothing major! ^_^
so is this going to be gerbert hitting on Twilight next? XD
still great story hope to see the next part soon!
Judging by the title and the description, I think I can gather what this is. Hilarious, I love it already. On my read later list, since I don't have time right now.
The chemistry they share is more brother/sister, or just friends. Scarcely has Twilight given the impression that she's a mother figure to Spike. More like a sister with motherly instincts. Not your interpretation, I see, but it does make me feel that the story warrants an Alternate Universe tag.
S1;E11:
Flaws aside, it's a a somewhat intriguing fic for the time being. It's always great to see a Spike story in the feature box, and right now we've got four in one day! Very nice. Unfortunately for this one, it's riddled with errors that kept pulling me out of the story. Additionally, it's only intriguing in the most basic sense. The first 6K+ words has little to interest me beyond its hook: Garble comes to Ponyville, says he's Spike's brother. That's it for now. The foreshadowing in which they begin acting like brothers is pretty obvious, and the concept of Spike discovering his family seems to have been dismissed. On the bright side, it does look like there will be some fun in watching Garble get used to Ponyville (or rather, Ponyville get used to Garble).
In addition to the Alternate Universe tag, I would also recommend switching out the Comedy tag for Slice of Life. Comedy requires actual humor, stuff that makes me laugh. There were a few moments I found amusing, but there is not enough humor to label this fic a comedy.
3320567 Some are just off-kilter.
3319990 You think that's bad? Try the universe that has everything existing in just a single point!
THEY EVEN HAVE MARIACHI BANDS IN THERE!!
HOW IS THAT EVEN A THING?!
So anyway, the Diamond Tiara in this story is extra-stupid, am I right?
3321190 they even have superpowered mimes. You seen that shit? it's scarier then you would think at first.
And my idea was taken before I could write it down. Great.
...Sorta.
3322194
It happens to all of us, I'm afraid.
3322300Yup. I was just too lazy to get around to writing my own. And again, it was sorta my idea. Not this idea. Yours is original as far as I know. Mine was just about Spike having a brother who Celestia kept hidden in Canterlot.
Quick question:
I don't really get it.. Scared line? or Sacred? Owo
Why do these quotes keep reminding me of club music?
