lol I totally jinxed myself last chapter.
Friendship is Magic.
Love is Deception.
Misery is Abundant.
And...
Anonymous is Clueless.
Earth truly is a magical place. A land of love and contentment. I hope the corrupt moral wasteland of Equestria doesn’t influence Anon for the worse.
A miserabel end to a beautiful night...
I still wonder what type Anon is... But the MC are the Guard and Anon is more of a side note.
Great chapter
I guess 50+ teamwork/friendship for one and -30 for the other...
Wonder how that will effect there work relationship.
This Chapter really is a brutal cliffhanger Well done
my god the feels!
Now that was a lot of emotion. Impressive.
My goodness the drama at the end there...
This is a good chapter, definitely held my complete attention. I'm also glad that Sparkshower learnt about "the game" as a misperception, rather than getting hurt. As Honour so correctly pointed out.
Now I just hope Glamerspear doesn't hold a rift or grudge between them.

Having not read the green text, I was partly hoping they’d establish themselves as basically life-partners...accidentally. Like anon takes on an apprentice who basically becomes like a son to him, but during emotional moments in the colt’s life, Artemis is the one who steps in and takes the “mom” role. They do things together that are “couple” things without realizing, and later do “family” things thinking they’re just a group.
But noooo. Glamerspear had to ruin it.
10496483
No, love is war. There's a whole anime dedicated to that idea.
10496693
Only one? 😅
so anyone else think that Sparkshowers "coltfriend" isn't as, loyal, as she?
Men I hope the air get clear soon enough. This mares have it rough.
Makes me wonder what would happen if Anon gets an actual date with someone else, like an Abyssinian ambassador or a vivid fan of his work, that is particularly agressive on her advances. I wonder if the guards can intervene if that ever happens.
What they need is an Under Cover Duty Uniform. Which is in base terms a Well tailored suit of cloth armor (with pockets for plate inserts) that looks professional But allow for freedom of movement. A suit that lets them blend in Unobtrusively but still says "I'm a Guard."
Welp, definitely like the third Guardsmare so far. Three for three have interesting personalities, leaves me wanting for the fourth. Can't wait to see what you have in store!
Oh dear, poor Sparkshower.
poor little girl welcome to the big city i gues
Nice update.
I think these should both be "hung".
I think "she was" can't be contracted to "she's". Sounds like it's switching into present tense.
10496856
Fixed, thank you!
Lol. Because you posted some songs in there, it got me wondering if your ponies have any flavours of Metal. I can think of a few songs that would make me laugh in this context, beyond me liking them in general.
All of the hugs. All. 👏 Of. 👏 Them. 👏
Oh this story is great, didn't expect it to be so intricate! Can't wait for more
Glamerspear DID have that coming however
10496722
With this much foreshadowing, I'd say about more than 50%
10496693
Except Guards are trained for war. So, that means you'd be saying they should be prepared for love. Since that has been proven to be wrong, I stand by own analogy. lol!
10496483
Which anime?
10496445
*Cracking knuckles*
We all did, just means we gotta get to work sooner. Oh Glamerspear...
Okay, now that I've read through whats been posted so far... Very impressive. A good mix of culture shock, guard pony world building, adorable pony antics, and character development. The ponies feel like a realistic take on some of the soldiers and sailors I knew in my career, and their attitudes and personalities are believable and interesting. All in all, I don't have any complaints, save that I'd like to see more. Thanks for writing!

You Really aren't supposed to be that frank about it, but this line isn't exactly wrong in any way.
Dress it up how much ya like, at the end of the day ye just a more expensive whore who doubles as a faulty guard.
Thats ya Game.
Be glad ya ain't in it.

I haven't served in any military, so I had no personal experience to go on when I wrote this, but I did do some research. For example, later in the story there are occasions where ponies quote rule/regulation numbers, and those are usually actual rules and regulations from the UCMJ of relevance to the discussion.
Regarding Cpl. Bound's entrance, when I wrote it I had I read this:
https://home.army.mil/bliss/application/files/3715/4273/2667/CustomsANDCourtesies.pdf
Granted Sparkshower is probably being overly formal, as Honour quickly lays out, but despite having already reached the rank of Specialist on a fast track, she is supposed to be the youngest and most naive and also most fresh-out-of-boot-camp (AKA horseshoe camp) of the group, still with a lot of by-the-book proper behaviour drilled into her, and not just even in the military sense. She's a bit of a traditionalist in some regards. The more experienced Glamerspear would probably not have called the room to At Ease from Cpl. Bound's entrance.

Sparkshower referring to herself as "This soldier" comes from the way soldiers in boot camp are often instructed to refer to themselves in the third person, e.g. "This recruit", "The private", etc., and particularly as famously portrayed in Full Metal Jacket in the interchange between Pvt. Joker and Sgt. Hartman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhLDyolExAo
Of course, Sparkshower isn't *in* 'shoe camp (boot camp) any more, but see above -- she still has the 'shoe attitude.
10497454
What?
10497805
Crap, I replied to the wrong comment. :)
10496693
Which anime?
Oh crud. I think everyone who reads this chapter lost.
10496722
Too soon to tell as of this chapter, perhaps especially since I haven’t read this ‘greentext’ thing (and don’t plan to at the moment, I’m content to read the story as it comes out here). It’s always possible, of course, but given what we’ve only just seen right above about the hazards of jumping to conclusions...
...besides, let’s face it: colts can also always just be blissfully clueless.
Bit of greentext snuck in.
10500590
I don't know how those keep sneaking in. Fixed.
Okay, so Corporal is way in the lead of best pony in this fic so far.
10499734
Oh... I read a little this morning and finished this in the evening... it’s been more than half an hour since that part... oh, why, WHY did I have to check the commemts...

Honour is the most grounded personality of the mares. But even she has a few personal issues to work out.
Umm... Glamerspear IS a gold-digging whorse. It might have been "mean" but it was factually correct.
10497626
You realize you just quoted the villain...right? I mean, he is in no uncertain terms the asshat that provokes a war that gets thousands killed and leads to the destruction of a kingdom.
And this was the moment her bubble was popped.
The more I see of Honor Bound the more interested I become. She took the role of the shoulder to cry on, and gave Artemis some closure.
I wonder if Anon will be the shoulder to cry on for Honor Bound someday.
(Nice suggestion for BG music by the way.)
Big respect for Honour Bound.
Wow, it seems I've totally misjudged the tone of this story. I looked at the rating, cover and Anon feature and assumed it would just be yet another lewd from start to finish. Dare I say I'm intrigued?
Nice insert
Aww poor kid. Hope things turn out for her.
10549828
She's a good kid.
HHHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH good joke

Biggest respect. o7
