This story is a sequel to Sleeping Arrangements
It's one thing to have a bodyguard as beautiful as she is deadly. It's another thing entirely to be hopelessly in love with her.
Part of the Bodyguard!AU Series, based on Earthsong9405's AU where Twilight is the bodyguard to a "Princess/Queen Rarity". Prior knowledge of the AU is not necessary to read the story, but some knowledge helps.

HAHA the one time I don't check to see if the document got formatted correctly is the one time it gets completely wrecked.
What you did there, see it, I did.

That's been happening to me a lot
also I don't think I've ever shamelessly plugged a story within a story more than I just plugged La Princesse.
incredible
you sure about that? O.o

Whoops! fixed! Thank you
Curse you, Mono. wipes away tear
That was beautiful.
ALSO haha for those of you who've read TEL, watch as I never miss a shot to imply Professor Awe is a conspiracy theorist.
A beautifully woven story, and the epilogue adds so much to it. Thank you for a wonderful look at two timelines.
Awe, I really needed this RariTwi stuff. You've converted me from TwiDash to RariTwi, help.
You know there was once a time where I did not care for all the shipping that this fandom loves to do and yet now I find myself practically squealing with glee over things like this.
What the hell happened?
Thanks again for a wonderful story. Loved it.
That was a fast feature.
I like stories that you write, and this is no exception.
Brilliant. As brilliant as Rarity's cutie mark and no doubt her blade.
As much as I like TEL, I would be very sad indeed if this series ended before all was told.
Rarity, darling, how can someone so good with words be so incredibly cheesy.
It's funny, whenever I see a RariTwi story in the feature box, I always assume it's a Monochromatic story before even looking at the author's name, and I'm almost always right.

what can I say, I don't hide how much I love my OTP
aaahg i love it !, is great and the ending makes everything so much better.
hello friend, i'm right below you in the box! :O
you'll get another comment with thoughts on your sweet story too! (reading right now~)
Oh man my heart, that's so cute and fluffy but yet dramatic and exciting. My heart raced, and I think I died.
Wonderful little twist of the original AU. fantastically written as always. You spoil your readers. Well done, well done indeed.
I want to stamp this quote into the heads of every writer who has ever lived, particularly that of dumb sitcoms.
That was absolutely lovely.
And done!
Why not both? Or... whatever the rules for RariTwi AUs are.
Anyway, lovely story! Sassy Rarity fighting was fabulous. As always, the story was well-written and silly, fun, and sappy too! The only nitpicks I have are the guards being called 'men' instead of stallions or something that made sense for the setting. The other would be the rating itself. A thwarted attempt on Princess Twilight's life, light innuendo, and a couple other things all suggest this should have a 'T' rating.
It was nice to read something new by you though! :)
And happy 40th story!
OH MY GOD DAMMIT TVIS DROPPED WHEN I CANT READ IT ALL HOLY SHIT AAAAAAAAAA
One day our dear Mono shall write an epic on this universe, telling the story of the official engagement and their marriage, with the world spanning adventure they need to undertake for it.
And I am torn between wanting TEK to end quickly for that and wanting for it to never end. Mono is an evil enchantress like that

Longer version of La Princesse with at least 23 chapters when?
And I would be okay with that. Mostly
(magnificent story, but now I want to see bodyguard Twilight fight for Princess Rarity)
Bonus scene:
Yeah, if.
Actual record of the Discord transcript while editing this story:

I second the motion.
Mono, I beg of thee, make a fic where bodyguard Twilight defends Rarity from a dastardly attempt on her life!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. Badass!Rarity pleases meeeeeee.
:D
Ok so finally got around to the last little addition and I have to say without even a little ounce of doubt that you somehow took an already adorable story, and made it twice as cute. Referencing the other fics, the banter, the fluffy kisses and suave princess and UGH Mono you're an artist.
I love the way you write Raritwi way to much. Im pretty sure it is unhealthy at this point.

I need to start useing discord again. Im missing out on gold.
So I now await an extended, 'author's original version of La Princesse. Until then, Bodyguard AU is more than sufficient. The inversion here was really interesting to wrap my head around... I feel like an inverted version of the princess first choosing her bodyguard would be a lot of fun. The original, whose exact name escapes me, was great with Rarity sneaking up on Twilight mid-book. I wonder how the inverse would go.
The thing is, I can fully see these two capably fulfilling either role. Rarity as the noble lady knight here plays every bit as well as Twilight in the same place. Twilight comes across as more consummate guard (create your own consummation joke) to Rarity's spoiled sweet princess, but both set ups work. So that's me saying good work on characterization here; it helped me along in the early going when I was trying to figure out AU opposite day.
Always nice to revisit this AU, so thank you, Mono! See ya next go round.
-hurk- my heart can't handle this amount of pure unadulterated fluff. Kill me mono, kill me with your pure emotions.
Six assassination attempts? This is not a pleasant version of Equestria...
awwwwww
That was just adorable
Really good conclusion to a action packed chapter
Ah, I see. All those assassinations were Rarity, as usual, being overly dramatic.
You know, for someone who's survived five prior assassination attempts, Twilight is incredibly fucking dumb in this story. It seriously detracts from an otherwise lovely piece of writing.
There was a point in the beginning of this story when I would not have been surprised if Twilight wrapped herself around Rarity and hissed at the duke.

Well, if you read on to the next chapter, you would find out that this is a story that Princess Rarity was telling Bodyguard Twilight. As such, a lot of things are overly exaggerated, and even Twilight makes a point to indicate that the story has many plot holes. It is a simple case of unreliable narrator where Rarity has made herself seem a dashing hero, and not a case of Twilight being “fucking stupid”.
Boo! Boo!!

As a story approver . being staff you should NOT make comments on stories IN the comments of THAT story......

I personally don’t see how me being a story approver is relevant to expressing my enjoyment of a story. If you would care to clarify how my position on this site somehow excludes me from telling Monochromatic that she wrote a wonderful, moving work of fiction, I’d like to know so we can understand each other better.
