Garble was orphaned at a young age. Although the dragons of his village helped him, where they could, he mostly raised himself. He had to learn to be tough, strong, and most importantly how to fend for himself.

Even with his life he couldn't help but have a fantasy about one day finding his parents lost egg and raising it himself. Too bad that egg turned out to be Spike.

After Kidnapping Spike and revealing his heritage, surely the little hatchling would never want to leave again. Who knows maybe Spike can teach his brother that it is okay to be soft. At least in some ways.

Warning
Spanking, Yaoi / Gay (Spike and Garble have a purely brotherly / parental relationship and although there are several same-sex relationships, romance is not the focus. This is a family focused fic), Dragon species and characters used from "How to Train Your Dragon" and other franchises (just so I can avoid creating a lot of original characters)

When you decide to travel or move out from your parent's place, it can be tough, especially when it’s from emotions.

Garble has won the Gauntlet of Fire and taken the Bloodstone Scepter. Upon hearing of this, Celestia, determined to stop the bloodthirsty Dragon Lord in his tracks, challenges him to a one-on-one duel for the fate of Equestria and the Dragonlands. An immortal alicorn capable of moving the sun with millennia of experience under her belt versus a teenaged dragon with no experience at all.

Garble accepts.

Stupider things have probably happened, but it's hard to say how.

Heartfire. a tradition the Dragons had for years is shortly coming around the corner, Princess Ember explains to Spike while finding a mate for a dragon he will be Challenged for a fight. Ember sends her best guard to get Spike trained and ready for Heart fire.

Will Spike be able to get over his little crush on Ember and finally use this Tradition to ask her out? or will he be too late or will he have to use his claws to show her how much he cares.

"Are all these... yours?" Fluttershy asked Ember about the dragon eggs. "No... none of them are!" she denied. But what if this wasn't just a lie, but a BIG lie...?

Takes place straight after the episode Sweet And Smoky.

A young dragon named Smolder was chosen by the Dragon Lord Ember to represent the dragons at Princess Twilight's School of Friendship. Smolder isn't too happy about going, but if she's being ordered to go then the least she could do is get to say goodbye to a few dragons before she leaves. Most importantly, she wants to say goodbye to her brother, Garble, but something tells her he's less than happy about her leaving as she is.

It's the deliberately coldest autumn day in recorded Ponyville history and Rainbow Dash, who's setting up the last of the weather conditions, has the town pretty much to herself as every other pony huddles indoors, hiding from the chill. This would normally mean a morning where nopony takes a single glance at her and decides she's a talking map with nothing better to do than personally guide them wherever they need to go, no matter how many hours it takes. And in fact, nopony does.

Just one familiar, arrogant jerk of a teenage dragon who wants to know how he can get to a certain cave -- and believes Rainbow has nothing better to do than take him there...

"When an hateful dragon looses his ability to fly and meets a Pegasus who just wants to help, what will happen? Will she heal his wing as well as his heart?"

It's a GarbleShy Ship and I hope every one enjoy's it. So with out further ado, Allons Y!

Garble's mother, Aase, has never told her son about his father, and for good reason. Now that Garble has gotten older since he last asked about his father, Aase feels it's time for Garble to know about his father.

Garble has been getting on dragon lord Ember's nerves lately, so she sends him to Ponyville.
