New Bodyguard!AU story in the works · 12:59am Dec 19th, 2017
I know I keep saying I'm done with the Bodyguard!AU, but I'm a damn liar because I'm working on a new story because, okay, hear me out, okay HEAR ME OUT
“I am,” he exclaimed, and then playfully arched an eyebrow. “And I admit I’m even more interested in getting to know Lady Rarity if her charge is so protective of her.”
Caught red-hoofed, Twilight’s face turned several shades of red. “I am not!” she hotly denied, even though she very much was, darn it all. “I’m just—! You know—!” she defended, with all the eloquence of a well-read princess. Truly, a model orator as she stood there, stumbling over her half-spoken words, her cheeks turning progressively pinker.
“My Lord, don’t tease her so,” Rarity spoke up, and when Twilight looked to her, the guard’s eyes sparkled with affectionate delight. “I have been with her since we were in our early teens. She is simply looking out for my heart, as it were.” She then winked at Twilight. “Aren’t you, Your Highness?”
Maybe if she studied really hard, she’d find a spell that would make her immune to Rarity’s… Rarityness.
I JUST LOVE THIS DUMB AU SO MUCH, EARTHSONG RUINED ME, RUINED ME I TELL YOU
Also, since we're here, I'LL PROMO THE ACTUAL series so if you've never read Bodyguard!AU or don't know what that is, HERE U GO.

But...why would you?
4752548
i... i... i don't know what possessed me to say that
QUICK I NEED TO WRITE 50 MORE RARITWIS TO CLEANSE MYSELF
Why would you WANT to be done with this AU? It's amazing and I love all the stories in it
4752548
This guy knows what's up
mono you're gonna kill me with all these wonderful things
4752546
*mumbles about a shipping contest that isn't raritwi that's going on*
4752549
That's more like it.
Seriously though, I first considered raritwi as a ship while reading one of your stories - and since then you single-handedly convinced me it was basically the most fabulous of all ships ever
So I'm waiting for those 50 new raritwi story now.
4752546
WRITE IT!!!!!!!! THE RARITWI GODS DEMAND THIS STORY BE MADE...
4752546
Your stories are like two-thirds of the reason for anything I've tried to write. Sure, it's the somewhat more inferior RariDash, but I still write from your inspiration.
Only stop writing RariTwi when there are no more stories left to tell. Or you grow to hate it. Whichever comes first.
4752546
I don't think I'd be the only one who'd be mad/upset if you did that. So don't do it. Ever.
dat twifloof tho
huzzah, we're both horrible liars!
Feel comfortable writing whatever you’d like, but I certainly wouldn’t mind reading this story based on what you’ve previewed.
Is this about what I linked to you in the discord? Have I done a bad thing? Oh, wait, that was the draco equus one wasnt it?
I'm digging grizzled Rarity.
If you need or want to try other ships that's fine but maybe you could eventually work on a full chapter story of the bodyguard AU for when the Enchanted Library series is over.
Or you could try your hand at pairing off the rest of the mane six with your favorite ships. To be honest if you write a romance story I'll probably read it.
4752546 can I get this comment framed?
You keep saying your gonna stop, I just keep waiting for the next one because I LOVE IT SO MUCH OH MY GOD DANG IT MONO YOU'VE RUINED ME ITS CONTAGIOUS WHATHAVEYOUDONETOMEYOUADORABLEPONEWRITERYOU?! *dies*
But seriously, looking forward to this, this AU is just too good.
Oooooh gonna look forward to this one

Draconequus!AU is cute too!!
we were in our early teens
Personally, I think I need to write more raritwi. Universe needs more raritwi.
4752549
So RariTwi = Hydrogen peroxide?
I've clearly been remiss: I thought TWILIGHT was the bodyguard... *must read it all to make the world make sense again*
...this is a Prince and the Pauper situation isn't it? But infinitely more shippy...
*Looks. squints. shrugs.* Eh. Prefer the other way. but gooooon.
Why do you pass this plague upon us so Mono, Earthsong might've ruined you but you've ruined me
(YES PLS THO)
Between seeing you interested in this one and that other person thinking of doing something with the Sugar Mama Twilight one I think I'm going to be in for some amusing stories in the future. While I prefer Twilight to have a harem, mostly because her being clueless about that fact is hilarious, I do have a notable weakness for these Raritwi stories. Earthsong really is too good at cooking these up and then inspiring good writers to run with them.

This is a reverse au of that one. In this version Twilight is the princess while Rarity is the guard while the normal Bodyguard AU has Princess Rarity and Guard Twilight.

-holds ur face-
u won't prefer the other version for long
you'll see
Is your BGAU bookshelf unlisted intentionally, or did you accidentally a goof?

REAL TALK, Enchanted Kingdom is probably going to be my last ponyfic. As much as I love this fandom, I feel it's time to move on towards original stuff eventually, so the moment TEK is complete in about a year or two or so, I'm going to bow out.
HOWEVER, until that moment, I will continue writing lil' oneshots, and I do actually have an ending in mind for my Bodyguard!AU series which will probs be about 20k long and posted before TEK ends. I've actually hinted about it a lot, and anyone who wants a preview of it might want to reread a passage in The Princess's Gift where Rarity learns about The Weary Travelers of Caelus.

I'm mostly kidding! I adore this AU, but sometimes I do get the nagging "I'M AWFUL FOR WRITING ONLY RARITWI, I'M A HORRIBLE WRITER", so I make dramatic statements to snap myself out of it and also because I'm a massive drama queen.
4752553
I'M WRITING THEM!! I'M WRITING THEM!!! o:
4752556
SEE ABOVE!!!! SE ABOVE!!!
4752557
There have been times where I've loathed this ship like I've loathed no other YET HERE I AM, so clearly the solution is to run the well dry. Also RARIDASH IS NOT INFERIOR -bap- ITS V GOOD
4752559
O-ok.
4752570
yo the discord one is really solid
4752563
twifloof is best floof
4752567

4752617

4752634
CLEANSE MY SOUL WITH PURPLE GFS
4752648

4752668
listen IF IM GOING DOWN, IM TAKING YOU WITH ME
4752670
earthsong IS IM NOT KIDDING SINGLEHANDEDLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ME BEING HERE. Injuring Eternit was planned to be my first and only MLP fic I'd ever write, until I saw her bodyguard!au and I NEEDED TO WRITE FOR IT. She's legitimately responsible for Monochromatic™.
4752693
i goof >.>
I know these are English words, but when you put them together like this I can't understand them at all...
4752708
What.....what?
No! Dont leave us!!!!!!
IT'S
FUCKING
HAPPENING!
AKSJND:LAJDSFLKHNGFDLHJ
Also, scarred Rarity is really hot >.>
u should make it story, maybe have twilight as heir of Crystal empire being raise in equestria
4752708
please dont leave us, you one of my favor writers, it alright if in two years u take a break for a year or two
4752708
Well on the sad day you leave us, you'd better let us know where you've gone. You've written some of the best things I've ever read, fanfiction or otherwise. And I read far too much for my own good.
Why would you ever want to be done with that AU?
4752568
majin i will write it just bc u want to read it
It's not over. It's never over.
And I'm okay with that.
This line got me. It is very you, Mono.
It's for lines lines like that one that I love you.
of course, don't limit to just those lines, it would be weird a whole story made of Twilight thinking about Rarity...
wait
4752688
BADASS RARITY INCOMING!!
*fan girling intensifies*
Oh great mono is doing BodyguardAU again *trying to regain composure*
*But fails* That is so awesome.
Man I wish I lived in an AU where mono would live forever and write "trashy" Raritwi shipfics :P.
Sometimes I feel silly for reading romance fics, but then again I am a young adult male watching colourful pastel ponies exploring friendship, I think I am long past silly
4752708
So first off, super YES for reverse bodyguard, that has so much potential and I am all about kickass!Rarity!! Thank you for the wonderful gift you are about to bestow on us!
And secondly, I totally understand leaving fimfiction after EK. Unfortunately a lot of good writers and readers have been leaving lately, and I'm sure many, like me, are mostly only staying around for conclusions to long stories/new stories by the few wonderful writers that are left (like you!
). When you do leave, be sure to give us like a directory to a website or blog where we can know when you release your non pony stuff in the far off future! ANYWAY, rambling.
What I wanted to ask is, will Enchanted Kingdom conclude the enchanted libraryverse? I could be misremembering, but I thought it was originally going to be a three book series. Totally fine if it's a two book series, but I just wanted to know if we'll get the totality of the verse, rather than two thirds of it.
EEEEKKK!! I've been waiting for this!!!
4752830
Thanks. I appreciate it.
This just made my day.
I do hope you point us toward whatever original writing you do, when/if you wander away from ponyfic. Will be a shame, but I look forward to any new story you put out. Can't wait for TEK to finish up!
I like the bodyguard storys. There just plain enjoyable.
4752708
I don't know if you intend to keep your original fiction and fanfiction identities separate, but I'd love to read an original fiction you publish. Good luck!
Great!!!
