Given the chance to correct what's gone wrong, Twilight swears she's going to fix all this even if it kills her. Which it will. Frequently.
Plazmatic Brony has a dramatic reading over on Youtube.
Featured on EQD on Groundhog Day 2013. Very clever, you guys.
It's even been translated into Spanish.

Genre: Romance, Sad, Dark, Adventure, Alternate Universe
Author: Einhander
Blurb:
This story is a sequel to Faster
Fluttershy had the best, most loyal pony in the world as her fiancee. But after the events ofFaster, Rainbow Dash is gone. Now, weeks after the funeral, she still blames herself and own weakness for Dash's death. She also has questions. Who is this bigger, stronger pony glaring at her in the mirror? What hasn't she been told about Dash's death? When did this giant hole appear in the side of her bedroom wall? Why is she suddenly so quick to anger? And how will she handle the fact that the reports of Dash's death have been slightly exaggerated?
The kindest, gentlest, most soft-spoken pony in Ponyville is about to become the strongest pony in all of Equestria.
What happens when she gets mad?
Sequel to Faster. Featured 2/7-2/9. Added to Twilight's Library 2/7.
Note: I have left enough clues for you to piece together what happened without having to read Faster, but really, you should read Fasterbefore reading this. It's a Nolan Sequel, not a Burton Sequel. (In terms of a continuity, I make no promises as to quality)
Additional Note: Because Knighty is a tyrant, I can't tag everyone on the poster, because my poster has six characters. But rest assured, I didn't work this hard on a sequel to Faster without eventually getting around to the fate of Dash.
