And now, an equation:
Characterization + Continuity + Fluffiness = A like!
This has been... an equation.
6590139 LIES! That is clearly a bunt cake!
...
Don't even know the difference between an equation and a bunt cake, some people I tell ya.

You know, I don't remember reading anywhere that royal guards had to be single.
6591480 Indeed. Marble in her chosen advocation might give Celestia and Big Mac some dramatic worries. This story has more sequel possibilities than my others and if I write it, it will stay in-genre: a romance. The story seems well liked, but more likes would inspire me...
That was definitely an interesting story.
I like the long term potential here. Think of when Pinkie finds out. What will she do to help her sister and perhaps hatching a plot to change her mind about certain aspects...
Hey, that wasn't a ship-fic! I think that was almost the opposite, actually.
The Royal Guard, eh? I can see why her family is so shocked. She might say that's what her cutie mark is telling her, but her cutie mark is three rocks, so everypony pretty much has to take her word for it.
This was interesting.
I'm not going to pretend to understand what exactly was going on for half of the story, because I still don't understand half of what I read.
Still, it was nice to read, and I don't feel as if I wasted time reading it.
Very good job.

Interesting. You have a point there about a certain subplot, especially Marble's experience and her family's de facto acceptance that requests to see the Pairing Stone must be served. You get a star for pointing this out to me.

I like critiques, especially when a reader can point out where what they read is not what I thought I wrote. Sincerely, please point to passages in the story that made you decide it was not a shipfic or a romance. I might tweak the story.
6597265 YAY

Er... okay.
Well, the basic premise upon which Mac and Marble would have ended up a couple, being either Mac's unintentional dalliance with the pairing stone at Marble's side or simply agreeing to explore a completely separate and incidental fondness for each other, was deliberately subverted.
In the end, they decided to be friends, and Mac's apparent involvement in her future has no romantic connotations. There's obviously an attraction there, established early on, but rather than a resolution of those feelings their significance is de-emphasized and sidelined by a completely unexpected conclusion. There's no particular reason to presume that Marble and Mac ever so much as go on a date after this.
Perhaps "opposite of a ship-fic" isn't quite correct, but I feel like the conclusion directly betrays the expectations of the set-up.
Which isn't to say that it's bad, by any means. I found it quite nice that she actually has interests and aspirations beyond both her family's business and the stallion she kinda-maybe is in love with.

Wow, thank you. An interesting analysis and a reasonable conclusion. I can see how you could get there.
Maybe, depending on how you define ship-fic verses romance (as I tagged it). Yes, I did post to shipping groups, where perhaps you found it, but only after reading an acceptable inclusive definition for shipping. Both parties brought baggage to the romance game, him more than her. I'd say that I went where his big-bro gentlecolt canon character took me. In real life, I did the same thing Big Mac did, and eventually married her. To the extent Marble demurred, that I plotted based on the character I created from the infinitesimal canon background I could find in order to make her interesting. Thus your analysis of her is spot on. See my Author Note for more info. Good fodder for a sequel.
You get a star for your analysis. It made me think deeply about the characters.
I have made a one-word change to the story.
I changed the italicized word from might.

I didn't mean to challenge it as a ship-fic at all. It was just a comment on the twist resolution where they actually DON'T end up getting together by the end.
Whatever definition of shipping you use, this at least is based entirely on the premise of Marblemac, and that's enough.

. Right.
Your comments have given me a great insight into how a reader interpreted my writing, and to where my stories fit in the ecosystem. You've made me understand. I value this greatly and look forward to your comments on my past and future works.
That was a sweet little story
Thank you for it.
Story! Now, go to favorite!
Thanks s this story is so inspiring. I hope it came true. I like the fact of spy novels, it suits her personality. Being quite and unseen. Also the royal guard part fabulous. Female guerds in equestrian is the best.
Good story wish there was a sequel.
