This story is a sequel to The Princess' Vanishing Spider


Rarity has a plan, as flawless and beautiful and perfect as she is: The sovereign Mi Amore Cadenza has planned a visit, and with it an opportunity to capture her heart. There’s only one small problem with this plan.

They share a taste in bodyguards.


Part of the Bodyguard!AU series.

This ficlet was written as part of the Omega tier reward in my Ko-fi where I write stories based on prompts from supporters!

And unsurprisingly, another very well written Story!

Obviously all of the banter and romance is amazing but I'm going to spotlight Fluttershy as the sarcastic comic relief one. She was not born to it, but she wields it well.

You've done it again, Mono. Well done.

Aaaaaand straight into faves. :rainbowlaugh:

A very beautiful story!
Thank you very much!

Rarity giggled so much like a lovestruck filly, Twilight felt torn between feeling jealousy towards Cadance or severe second-hoof embarrassment at Rarity.

Why choose one, be both :trollestia:

“What? No? Now look who’s being jealous,” Twilight said with a snort. “She was just being nice.”

...wonder how long it took before Twilight realised that Rarity was flirting with her? :applejackunsure:

To be painfully fair, it had taken her a very long time to realize in the past the time Rarity had been flirting with her, too, so… maybe…?

:trollestia:

“My stars,” Rarity whispered, haunted. “Have you no taste?”

Twilight was quiet for a moment. She then spoke: “Considering our relationship, are you sure you want me to answer that?”

Ohhh, nice retort :trollestia:

Twilight gave her a Look. “Mmmhm.” She then glanced at Fluttershy and bowed her head. “I’ll be right back, milady. Make sure the princess stays right here, please.”

“Where would I even go?” Rarity huffed.

Fluttershy spoke innocently: “To your room to cry over Lady Cadance not falling for you?”

:trollestia:

“I did, your highness.” She stood a little taller after that, her tail wagging behind her at an acceptable pace.

That's adorable :trollestia:

As a last resort, Twilight looked to Fluttershy, imploring her help, who politely betrayed Twilight by taking a sip of water and saying, “I’m not getting involved.”

Creation, Fluttershy is amazing :pinkiecrazy:

Drama queen Rarity strikes again.

Would have been a perfect moment for Twilight to propose at the end there.

RariTwi is always the best ship.

Ok but the lore! The lore!

In the first chronological story where they meet in this universe (the princess's choice which seems to no longer be accessible on the site QQ, someone send me a copy if they have it downloaded so it's not gone forever), rarity was choosing who would be her bodyguard, and had both selected twilight to be her bodyguard from the start and had a crush on twilight by the time she left, which is in direct odds with this backstory. Now, we can possibly square the circle by saying she was potentially overruled and got a different bodyguard whom twilight eventually replaced, but it seems unlikely that rarity wouldn't throw a fit about it. This leaves a big plot inconsistency. Unrelatedly the mention of capra and assinia implies that this is in an alternate version of the moonlight palaver world.

Thanks for coming to today's overanalyzing of horse fanfiction.

Dang, I wanted to see some escalation when Cadance returned to Twilight being in her armor but she sort of backed off. Also I fully admit I was expecting Shining to be Cadance's guard in this AU of very high profile guards :trollestia:

Outstanding dialog that follows a logical path all the way through. Very well presented.

Disgustingly adorable as always.

The real lesson is that the Sparkle family line has superior charm passed down for generations

Ah, I hope this series never ends.

“Ooooooh,” replied Lady Cadance, furrowing her brow and rubbing the tip of her wings together. “Yes, this will be wonderful intel for when I decide to turn on our ally of centuries and conquer a kingdom of over fifty million with my tiny Empire of six million!”

"Twilight, do be a darling and come up with a plan for Cadance to take over Equestria, would you?" :duck:

Ahhh my heaarttt! This is too cute. n_n

Celestia this was perfect!

“What?” Rarity asked, and now the familiar Princess Rarity irritation and indignation was back in full force, and Twilight felt bad for smiling at it. “What does that have to do with—? Twilight Sparkle, you just spent a few good minutes practically trashing me, and now you want to admire others? What?”

She has to keep you humble somehow. :trollestia:

Incredibly cute story. I skipped this "Bodyguard au" for the longest time because I assumed it would make Twilight OOC but you really make it work.
