This story was so lovely, I need more!

Agreed. I want more! If nothing else more of Pipp teasing Zipp about the feelings she’s inevitably going to develop for Sunny.
Yaah this needs to continue I'm hooked
Oh this was so cute! I love how you wrote Pipp and Zipp.

I do have plans for a follow on story, because Pipp has to meet the princess at some point.

Thank you! Pipp and Zipp are my favorite sisters and they're just an absolute joy to write. I especially enjoyed writing this because I was able to have Pipp be unfiltered which created for very fun interactions between them. I want to do more with this universe, but I'm just seeing how people are liking it and if I should do more stories.
Nicely done all around.

Thank you!
Is wrong I find it weird that neither Zipp or Pipp are related to Queen Haven here? Love this universe so far. Just found that little bit odd. But not enough to ruin the story.

Yeah it was a decision that I had to make given that I wanted to make Sunny the princess. Plus, I feel like it makes it more challenging since they would (on the surface) have even less in common and I always want to push myself writing wise.
Oooh I love this. It hits that sweet spot for an AU we’re the premise raises more questions then t answers (and I mean that in a good way) while also feeling sensible and well-thought-out. Not to mention the top-notch characterization as well as the meta to similar AU’s of the past.
Please, have a Derpy

Thank you so much! I took heavy inspiration from Mono's bodyguard AU to flesh this out, but the one thing that I never got to read was how they actually got assigned to one another, so this was cathartic for me in a way that I was able to explore that in the G5 world. Plus I was able to put my own spin on it with my experiences in the military to give y'all a different point of view.
Well, this is interesting. Indeed, I am thoroughly disappointed by that Complete tag. Having the pegasus sisters be not royalty is such an interesting twist. I'll be reading that follow-on. And looking into this Bodyguard AU you've mentioned.

Thank you for giving it a read. I want to continue with this and do one-shots contained in this AU so people aren’t waiting on the next chapter to be complete. I’ve already started working on the next one because people seem to want more.
Fascinating...
I expected this to be a story related to that last G5 story you got here, and it is, not what I expected, but not an unwelcome one nevertheless!
Yeah, you stories are still quite good. I never read the bodyguard AU before and the fact that Zipp and Pipp aren't royalty just adds to the confusion, but I suppose it means more sequels in this AU of your own? One-shots are great but I hope they still get to go on cool adventures and explore Equestria while exploring themselves as well. Because of the dynamic and because
long voyages are one of my favorite types of tales.
Best wishes on writing!
Onwards!

Thank you for the comment! I wanted to flip the script a little and just have the sisters a common ponies because I felt that I could get more unfiltered banter between them. I was surprised how much fun it was to write this and I really want to do more stories in this AU.
I really liked this story. I hope you do a sequel. And for some reason, I love the idea that at some point Zipp saves Sunny life by using lighting as a makeshift defibrillator to restart Sunny’s heart after something bad happens.
I wasn't expecting this one to be a raritwi fic in disguise
top notch prose, looking forward to your next fic

Wait until the next one.
