Anon shows up on the 3rd chapter! For an anon story, you really put a lot of perspective on gleaming shield. I'm not really sure if I like the story too much though. It's at least a little interesting and there aren't that many chapters, so I will probably keep reading the updates until something else catches my eye. Good job on making a gleaming shield story though! There doesn't seem to be many of them from what I can find.
Catching sight of Gleaming, Anon grinned widely. “Well paint me green and call me a cucumber. Gleaming Shield! Back once more for another hit!” Wiping his hands on his apron, he put them on his hips. “What? Did last night’s fix not last? Is your tolerance getting too high? Do you need more of the goods?”
Does chapter 0 take place right after this, or is this just another horny stallion? If it is, I'd say the story would be better off starting with chapter 1 with chapter 0 taking place after this one, but that's just my opinion. Nice chapter anyway, before I was curious why Gleaming would be having disinterested sex when she has a crush already.
1042306710423082 Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. The disgruntled worker bits last chapter and the banter in this one got some chuckles out of me, but moving into prostitution... I feel like it might even be pushing the [dark] tag a bit. I'll stick around for one or two more, though.
10423038 Ive had that kind of schedule. You don't commit acts of violence because that would require energy you dont have. You just reach a sort of zen level of not my problem.
Im fairly certain somebody could have doused me in chocolate syrup and kicked me in the balls and I would have just blinked confusedly.
Personally I can easily see 3 ways this fic goes, either Gleaming gets blackmailed cause one of her clients discovers she's a guard, cause the guards would kick her out, or said discovery causes her clients to run for the hills, fearing being arrested, or she finally asks anon on a date, and then one of her clients comes up and ruins it by saying he'll pay double what anon is to get under her tail right then...but yeah, here she is pining for someone, but selling her body... i just can't watch anymore,,
Her side hustle will come to light later, but I'm hoping this is establish how mundane and unfulfilling (no pun intended) her is life until her bestie Cadence encourages her to ask Anon out. After that, we'll see how much rewarding and happier her life becomes even if she has made some interesting choices up till that point.
10423542 It cuts right in the experience doesn't it.
Comedy? What comedy, the poor thing's long departed.
I do adore your deduction skills though, it's quite accurate to the current path the story is going down on.
Honestly, this feels like a spinoff of "How to Love Your Princess", and I'd expect it to run in a similar fashion, to which! You are stunningly accurate.
It's a very solid story so far and I have faith that the author has a plan. Even a fairy tale kingdom has its harsher realities and our hero is surviving as she can. I stood a lot of watch in the military as well and "solid twelve's" are rare as supervisors understand they need to be broken up. The duty shift can be 18 hour days for months at a time (in my experience on US Navy ships) but you sink into negative performance with a twelve hour non moving watch. Unless it's a punishment detail and she is being monitored to build a case for her dismissal. If this was the case, she has shown herself to be smart enough to know she is likely on her way out. Hence hooking for cash before she hits the wall. More pony words please.
Haven't you people ever heard of a dark comedy? There's been a few funny moments here and there and so far it's painting a picture of a broken character that I really want to root for.
10423817 I do think that the prostitution was a bit suprising but what I'am curious about is if Anon know about this because it would be great to see him help her out of this situation.
I still don't understand the problem with comedy however...
“Oi! Mocha! One extra-large iced cappuccino supreme, extra drizzle, extra toppings, four extra shots of espresso!” “One ‘Procrastinator’s Night Before Finals’ coming right up!” the light-brown unicorn called out.
That's quite a name. An fitting name.
“I sleep,” Gleaming insisted. “What? I do!” she continued as both of them gave her raised eyebrows. “Occasionally. Sometimes. Once in a while. Leave me alone.”
10426418 God, I'm so sick of cunts coming into Anon stories to complain about the name. It's a fucking 4chan thing, jackass. Why don't you go fuck off to a story where the character's named "Leo" or "James" if you're this big of a prissy bitch?
The stallion tossed the big bag at her and she caught it in her own magic. Sighing against, Gleaming made her way to her door and unlocked it. She pushed her way inside, making sure to slip a red tag over the outside doorknob as she passed. The stallion followed her, already emerging from his sheath. The door closed behind them with a click.
Hmm... Is she doing this in order to tucker herself out? Or does the guard just pay that bad?

The kind of life sucks. If I had that king of schedule, I'd be thrown in jail for acts of violence.
Is it strange that I feel sorry for Gleaming?
I see what you did there. 😉

Poor Gleaming Shield. That's rough.
Prostitution.....
Ain't that a bit, heavy?
For Comedy, nonetheless?
There's only so far you can tint a topic till you fly off a hard rocker.
10423067
Yeah that is a good point. I have yet to see the funny. But I have faith in the author.
10423067 10423082

We did it boys! We finally got a Gleaming and an Anon interaction!

I kind of feel sad for her Gleaming
Story certainly is interesting, I’ll give it that

Yo author..
Where u gonna move this fic going..
Because for romance? You make it dark around here...

Only if prostitution is illegal in this equestria. Which's hard to believe it'd be, considering ponies.
But agree it's not going much into comedy.
Wait, why is Gleaming a prostitute? I would assume being a royal guard would be a lucrative profession, even if she's lower-ranking
Her side hustle will come to light later, but I'm hoping this is establish how mundane and unfulfilling (no pun intended) her is life until her bestie Cadence encourages her to ask Anon out. After that, we'll see how much rewarding and happier her life becomes even if she has made some interesting choices up till that point.

Are you going to finish this story

This is really, really dark for a comedy.
Haven't you people ever heard of a dark comedy? There's been a few funny moments here and there and so far it's painting a picture of a broken character that I really want to root for.
And there I lost all will to continue reading. Why use anon? How hard is it to come up with an actual name?
10423817
I do think that the prostitution was a bit suprising but what I'am curious about is if Anon know about this because it would be great to see him help her out of this situation.

Best coffee name ever... Of all time
10426418 Well, you have your opinions, we have ours. Shall we leave it at that?
That's quite a name. An fitting name.
That sounds convincing... not.
Hope she can see with him pounding her. 😥
Another sicko of a fan tanting a pony's image.

If you don't like this kind of thing then don't read it.
This was a sweet chapter Intel the end got to finely meet Anon pure Gleaming. I hope this asshats leave her be soon.

10426418
Why? Because:
Anon is my name.
Anon is your name.
Anon is author name.
