As a high-ranking and valued member of the Lunar Guard of Equestria, Stormfire's day-to-day life generally revolves around protecting the ponies he holds close to his heart, as well as the Night Princess herself from any possible threats. But just how far will he go to carry out his guard duties? And why does he want to protect them in the first place?

This is his story to tell, just like everypony else has one of their own.

This is his life.

!!Tropes associated with this Fanfic:
*TheAlcoholic: Gust is addicted to apple cider and is known to frequently drink his sorrows away.
*AlternateUniverse: Soldier of the Night is set in an alternate Equestria that is modeled more closely on the real-world United States than it is in the show.
*BehindEveryGreatMan: Stormfire is convinced to follow his dreams and become a Lunar Guard through encouragement by his marefriend Blue Night and his mother, Equinox Moon.
*BreakTheCutie: Blue Night goes through a ton of crap throughout the fanfic, from growing up mainly friendless in suburban Cloudsdale and losing her brother at sea to raising a foal by herself while her husband was out fighting and almost losing him to PTSD upon his return.
* TheBully: Gust, Hurricane and Thunder Clap, the first two being able to redeem themselves.
*ChildProdigy: Gust Wind on guitar, Blue on the piano and Singer Case on vocals.
*ComingOfAgeStory: a notable aspect of the story is its focus on Stormfire and his friends over the span of several years, as their life experiences shape them into well-rounded adults for better or for worse.
*DeadFic: Deconstructed. Due to the author's mental health issues, lack of motivation and persistent writer's block the story is notorious for the sheer amount of time taken between updates. Skyfire thought about pulling the plug on the fanfic on a number of occasions but couldn't bring himself to.
*ElegantClassicalMusician: Blue is presented as a talented pianist who enjoys playing music for her own pleasure and that of her loved ones—Storm notes her style of playing to be very elegant and refined, and she has taken part in many recitals throughout her childhood and teenage years. Even though she can sing as well and has a voice that can bring down the house she generally doesn’t because of anxiety and stage fright.
*HappilyMarried: Downplayed with Equinox Moon and High Wind. Although Storm's mother and stepfather are initially shown to have a loving marriage things take a sharp downward turn when High Wind signs Storm up for a transfer to Vanhoover without his knowledge or consent.
*TookALevelInBadass - although generally cool, calm and easy-going Storm can be quite the badass whenever the situation calls for it. It’s what eventually gets him his cutie mark.
