Both share timing and you choose the order, so a Guard card can be used and then readied again by the Shield. Guard X must be chosen before damage and fear are revealed, so a Guard card the Shield fetches cannot protect against the hit that triggered it. The Shield only works if damage or fear still gets through, once per round, and Guard can prevent even without a negate test.
