Shizer ya are just popping these out. I like it! I littlest just finished catching up on here like...10-15 minutes ago Xd
Lunas actions?
Oh dear. She made a 1 bit bet with Celestia about companionships again?
You’re posting this with amazing consistency without dropping in quality and leaving me wanting more impatiently. Are you writing these as you go or do you have them all pre-written and are releasing them daily?
the suspense is killing me 🍿

Bobbles is adapting a 4Chan 'Greentext' originally written by TheManFromAnotherTime. Updates to the story are still being posted there every two weeks or so in there, and Bubbles has been catching up on the story, one update per day.
Beware of spoilers if you read the original one in the Pastebin TMFAT has it saved on. Link to the Pastebin in the story's description.

He's translating an existing greentext with the author's blessing. I'm given to understand that it's fairly lengthy.
This is probably about introducing a Thestral into his entourage.
I still hope this is about having him oversee the case again Bismouth

Been making him dream about your sister again, Luna? You know if you don't stop doing that to people they're gonna start thinking you have a sister complex.
Ok I say she is either referring to Ebonshield, and what Honour mention of using him as an experiment…and what Ebo said about bedding any mare. Or she somehow is linked to the Binskmont fiasco and want to atone for it.
O simple she doesn't want to be there and wish to break a deal.
Im so fucking confused... This was a very elegant chapter that paint impressive pictures in ones head but... This cliffhanger is so brutal i need a doctor to get to unclench my mouth from frowning to hard. Double chapter would be sooo awesome right about...
Now...
I bet she accidentally ate all the Fruit Loops in the Royal Pantry that morning

I really do feel a bit bad leaving on a cliffhanger here, but hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

That actually opens a good question, he lives on the castle but he and the secret council each have their private kitchen, and dinning hall? Because of his workaholic habits, his meals are on his rooms but the question still remain, can he enjoy a breakfast with Celestia in the same table or he and the nobles have a room just for them?
I think I'm going to check in with this story in about a week my dudes. This is a nice story but with most of these chapters a lot of nothing happens and seems to dance around everything. This character was a little over 2500 word and can be summed up with one sentence " Luna walk into a room and was served coffee.". It was written very well it just seems like most of it was fluff, but hey some people might like that.
Mad props to Mr. ManBro FromAnotherTimeO, this was a really nice piece of work. He set up the scene excellently.
Also, Moonhorse! Yay!
Probably it was Luna, who allowed for this stupid brigde shit, that stopped Anon on his way to mine.
Luna, being banished for 1000 years, simply not known, that this thing is outdated and allowed it to commanders, as from her old perspective it was normal (like 1000 years ago).
She made the call to add a Bat-pony at the expense of having a guard that can guide him in the Equestrian customs and courtesies expected of one in his position.

At a first glance, this looks like it might just be about Luna having gotten the idea that Anonymous somehow got saddled with The Worst Bat Pony Escort either by accident or on purpose. I mean, so far bat ponies look to be at least as prone to gossip, squabbles, and intrigue as any members of the other tribes, and on the political map of Canterlot the Rookery is still a blank spot (a bit worryingly so since the previous chapter)...
...but since that would be kind of obvious, I’m on reflection open to letting myself be surprised. For all I know Luna feels personally responsible for this whole trial-by-combat encounter the group had to go through because it turns out that she created the custom in the first place way back when (most likely as a replacement for something even worse), for example.
10538740
This is partly speculation of mine and part knowledge of that has already been written of the story, but I'm certain Cantelot Palace is internally structured similarly to Buckingham palace, but like three times as big, large and populated. At least the R.E. describes it as the equivalent of such.
Canterlot Palace, as the name implies, is a palace. It's more of the administrative headquarters and residential building for the princesses and highest-ranking bureaucrats and Councillors of the monarchs (Like the Blue Chamber Privy Council of which the R.E. is a member) than it is a military installation doubling as a noble residence, like a castle. It also has rooms for all visiting dignitaries, noble ponies and the necessary servants and guards to staff it.
I don't seem to remember exactly if it was mentioned, but I am sure there are are several kitchens for the different kinds of inhabitants of the palace. For example, Officers and Non-Officer members of the Royal Guard have different mess halls with different menus each day, so I'm certain there's a kitchen for each. There should also be a kitchen for the lesser non-military servants of the crown, as well and one more one for guests, and royal and noble inhabitants, if not two.
The R.E. is described as having breakfast, lunch and dinner in his room, but these are Palace rooms, mind you, so they are VERY LARGE rooms with the contents of a small house (dining tables, writing desks, beds, wardrobes, etc.) and a movable partition dividing the room into the 'private' and 'non-private' part of the room, as well as a bathroom of its own. The room is probably adjacent to similar rooms to this one like you'd see on a hotel, each with their own noble, dignitary or bureaucrat of their own, all with VIP Guards managed vy Lt. Violetta and probably attended by the same kitchen and cleaning servants.

Interesting, and informative. I have to remember that one for my story, in fact I have gotten a lot of ideas from this story for my own. I hope the creator doesn't mind to much.
Just in case I will add the thank you notes if something ends up too similar…ah what the heck! I will add the thank you's either way, it just that good of a story
man, cliff hangers always at the good parts, why you do dis?
10538904
To make us ask these very questions, perhaps. It certainly keeps our attention doesn't it?
But, I wouldn't have it any other way with this story.
I bet something weird happens with anon and magic auras.
10538847
When writing ELWG I consider Canterlot Palace as a walled, multi-building complex, with a main "actual palace" building resembling renaissance / early modern European royal palaces like Buckingham or Schonbrunn or Versailles, accompanied by gardens and open fields and other buildings including a small military base like at Topkapi or the Moscow Kremlin. (Even Buckingham and the others often had or still have military facilities nearby, just not within the same outer ring of walls like the latter two)
The Officers' Club and the enlisted mess are part of the military barracks facilities and not located in the main "palace" building proper, though they're not far and there may be covered/raised walkways or tunnels making it easy to get between the independent structures. In the main palace, there's a servants' dining hall which the VIP bodyguards are entitled to use instead of the barracks mess, if they prefer.
There's surely a dining room in the palace which the Princesses can use to dine and entertain guests, but I imagine in such a large and busy facility that it's reserved for formal occasions. The individual suites have their own dining facilities instead large enough for a small number of guests; for example, the Royal Engineer is in one of the older wings of the main palace building and even he has a full dining table in his room large enough to comfortably seat six.
Have to wonder if the house retinue ever suffers nervous breakdowns due to the tension they frequently find themselves in the middle of.
10539067
Just how many world-ending catastrophes the Royal Guard has had to go through?
10539076
I was mostly thinking that standing around in meetings where you could cut the tension with a knife would slowly drive you insane by proxy.
Good chapter, and I can't wait to see what comes of the cliffhanger
Ah, what a time to find and read all the chapters of this yet posted. Loving it so far and eagerly awaiting the next addition!
10539587
Personally I'm beside myself that it updates practically every day with this level of quality.
One thing that I do very much enjoy about this story is that the author has a great grip on diplomatic, royal, and military protocol, and uses it to great effect to create tension and intrigue. This chapter's a great example of it: what would be a simple visit between Anon and Luna with perhaps a guard or two in tow in other stories is instead a complicated choreography of ancient protocol where a single misstep would ruin the entire meeting. I love it
Heavy are the burdens of the Moonbutt:
10538756
You forget the 'she say sorry to Anon part'
Mother of stars....
Even though Her Majesty was certainly capable of doing it herself with telekinesis...
10699717
Fixed!
Never would have taken Honour as the spiritual type
She's obviously talking about being charged with Ebon as a guard.
It feels like every chapter is an essay with so many details that do nothing for the story but drag it out to a slow boring pace.

If you're not a fan of slowly paced stories, Everyday Life With Guardsmares probably is not up your alley. Thank you for reading this far, though!
Oh boy.
I wonder what she means
Huh... Anon = Magic proof OR smoothest dude ever?
10538596
Only problem is if you make 10 of them daily... I hear the wins of the bet substain a Ingenieur Kindergarten
10538617
You forget you'r Softdrink
10538646
Probably both...
10538653
Cadenza shipping hobby is spreading
10538698
Again...?!
10538740
Damn good question... I wonder is Cadance is back with her hubby from their Honeymoon?
10538760
Almost every Story with good Nightmaremoon or Luna action is great entertainment.
10538768
Ok... That would explain why Icepone had the balls to denie Celestias direct orders...
10538904
F-U-N
10538971
Luna sneak into his dream with a tight uit and a cardboard box and Anon got to have realised never ever to play any MGS games in his life anymore
Gomenasai, Anon-kun
To be continued... Lucky me I found the next button

Loving it when they royal sisters have a more active role in a story. In canon we get way to few apperances.
Ebonshield the chosen Bat pone of the Moonbutt
Nice
