Just a fan of fun stories, looking to enjoy them, and when I can finally grab enough time for myself write them once more!

How do you define a parent? Is Blood the only thing that matters? Recent events have caused a lavender unicorn to seriously reconsider just how much her scaled assistant means to her.

This looks cool. If you want I can find you an awesome cover art:pinkiehappy:

That would be nice but, it's meant to be a one shot.

1609058 You sure? I got a really great one in another tab

1609061
If you want too. I'm not picky though.

1609069 Great! Hold on, I'll IM it to you

Short but sweet. I have rather a soft spot for any story involving Spike, particularly so when its about his and Twilight's relationship in parental terms.

Minor nitpicks, because I like to help for future readers.

purple dragon the breathed green flames

Meant to be 'that breathed'?

A few other minor things, but mostly comma placement which is something I do badly myself on occasion. Still, I did enjoy this one-shot quite a lot, good work.

1609078
Thank you. I'll fix that right away. I'm also really bad with commas. I don't know why, I just am.

1609085 Not a problem mate, I personally appreciate it when someone points out things I missed because it means the next reader will get to read in a slightly more correct form so I try to be helpful for others. I think my own comma problems come from how I'm used to talking and phrasing things, and invariably when I write something I'm thinking the words in a way similar to how I would say them and personal inflection risks being inserted. It might be something like that, or perhaps something you read frequently that uses commas in a certain way.

1609104
Mind telling me where you found that? I'm having a bit of trouble finding the part you mentioned.

1609107 The comma? At the start

Not only that but, the Crystal Empire

Maybe its just how I read it, but the the comma feels to me like it causing a pause too long there. There was another 'but' with it to.

Of course, it might just be how I read/write and be perfectly valid for someone else.

1609130
Not that... I meant the first mistake you pointed out... Also I can't find something if you only give me the mistake... The general area would be better seeing as I'm dyslexic.

1609135 Oh, didn't know that. Last large paragraph, roughly in the middle of it. I usually just use ctrl F to search part of it to help find it.

1609158
Found it thanks, and yeah I have dyslexia so please excuse some of the minor errors with commas and such... They are a real pain to keep track of.

this was so adorable

The ending foretells of a follow up fic in the future.

1609214
Thank you. I hoped for a feel good one shot and it appears I have delivered.

1609261
Perhaps... Perhaps not. Though I'm waiting till we get further into season three to decide.

1609287 Sweet. Hope to see more soon!:moustache:

This, this is why I wanted season 3, to cause a burst of inspiration in the community. Love the story by the way, bit short for my taste, but it was good all the same. :twilightsmile:

Even though there are lots of fanfics that have touched this topic before tihs one still make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, Spike and Twilight really are an adorable family. :heart:

Lovely story, a bit short, but honestly I like it that way. :twilightsmile:

This, is a prime example of quality over quantity, I salute you. :ajsmug:

Honestly, I kinda hope this mother-son interpretation of Spike and Twilight's relationship fades away at some point. Twilight doesn't even treat him like a mother treats a son, she acts toward him like a close friend or older sibling who has to step into the role of a mother once in a while.

Lauren Faust originally intended for Celestia to have raised Spike before giving him to Twilight when they were both old enough to have a working relationship. Even if that's subject to change since she never established it as canon, I'm inclined to see it that way (partly because Spilight is one of my favorite romantic pairings when done right).

The show is aimed at little girls who are probably more likely to have little brothers rather than children. Spike is obviously meant to represent a little brother to Twilight to give the show's target audience a perspective on their own siblings.

The story itself was very heartwarming, but I still don't agree with it. Also, the same thing has been done better. You might enjoy reading Longing

Dawwwww in this story over 90000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Nathanial?

1697742
Who? Sorry mate. Not the right guy if your asking me.

1697772 Spike's middle name.

1698183
He didn't have a middle name and with Twilight being the uber adorkable nerd she is, had just picked something that seemed gallant. What with his fascination with being a knight due to fawning over Rarity.

I personally believe that Celestia named Spike and so Twilight gave him his middle name during this bit of story. As the middle name is my choice and the plot was mine.

1698515 actually bro his middle name is officially nathanial, I read it in severally her story's and on the wiki.

2432524
Huh? Well how about that? Thanks for the info mate.

2985267
I'll think on it. When I get the right mindset I'll probably do one. But, I want it to be good, and not just because I felt obligated you know?

yodajx10 recommended me read this story, and I'm glad he did. :twilightblush: Beautifully heartwarming story. :pinkiehappy: I don't care what others may say, but I feel the relationship between Twilight and Spike is mother/son, and it is a touching and unconditional bond. :heart:

3330406
Well thank you for the kind words, and it's amazing that people are actually recommending this story, I kinda did this as a sort of self-therapy after reading that one story, which sadly I cannot remember the name of in which Spike finds Twilight had written a letter to him on her deathbed.

I just really needed to write something cuteish and happy instead of sad.

This was beautiful:fluttercry: Please make more i want a sequel to this.

Damn the feels man it waaay to strong here.:raritycry:

I just found out I was adopted recently and I've been having parent issues since then. This helped so much. Stay classy you beautiful thing you.

3493071
Well, that's just... wow. That is something I never would have expected to hear and honestly you're welcome.

Wow. This was very touching. I can't believe this has been under my radar all this time. The emotion was just... wow.

Camlio, you are a great writer, and I'm proud to have had the honor of helping you with one of your stories. Keep up the good work friend.

Ok, beautiful story, but more importantly.....Was that the Dovah language at the end? :pinkiehappy:

3933930 It actually was not. It was actually Draconic Language from D&D which can be translated via this site

it is beautiful and sweet, but it is far to short, that is why i donĀ“t like one chapter storys. Befor you ask, why i still read those storys, i know a few good one shot storys.

5266204 I'm thinking that I really need to make a sequel to this at some point.

5266794 If I may make a suggestion. Perhaps a sequel that shows Twilight and Spike both adjusting to the new change in status. Possibly Twilight going overboard as she is prone to do.
