Rainbow Dash tries to write a story. Twilight tries to read it.

Then Discord decides to be helpful...

Shining Armor feels like he's way out of his league at the moment. He's still finding his footing in the Royal Guard. His feelings for his childhood friend (and unobtainable princess) Cadance have returned stronger than ever. And he seems to have uncovered a strange conspiracy that reaches through every level of Canterlot . . .

Basically a police-drama style prequel to "Royal Canterlot Wedding", explaining how Shining became captain and fell in love with Cadance. Given that I had to create all the characters in the Royal Guard, there will be copious amounts of OCs. And, as always, comment and tell me what you think!
