The prequel is not a required read. Spoilers in the comments.

Seems like a good description. I am surprised you omitted any mention of Cadence's pregnancy since it did play a part in Shining's decision to start his quest.
2491175 It's hard to fit everything. Plus, I didn't wan't to give to much of the story away (even though the spin-off story already does that.) Shining had SO many reasons for doing what he did. Plus, if I mention that part, it would ruin one the best moments of the first chapter, where Shining forgets his fears if only for a few hours to share a moment with Cadance when she flies down the stares and embraces him.
I think what's really driving him crazy is that he's a shamed of the jealous feeling, because he feels like it's a betrayal to his overall personality and his devotion to his family.
