When Tempest Shadow agreed to join the Royal Guard at Princess Celestia's recommendation, she was expecting ten weeks of epic combat training, marching around with a noble group of ponies in gleaming gold armor, saluting famous generals, and generally having the best time of her life. Instead she finds out what military training really involves: endless in-processing, chores, multiple screw-ups after another, yelling, crying, and the inevitable drama that happens when multiple ponies with different viewpoints are forced to live in one room with no way away from each other. Well. Alright then, she's still going to try and have the best time of her life.

Like Fireworks in the Sky isn't required reading, but it will generally help set things up for this one. This features lots and lots of OCs as Tempest's fellow trainees. Many names and designs were just made up on the spot, so any resemblance to other characters original or canon is completely coincidental.

I also have a Discord! Rather quiet right now but feel free to join if you wanna talk fics or just ponies in general! Ask me for the link if you want in, I had to remove it because of too many spam bots.
