Reeling from the loss of her brother, Twilight has slipped into depression so deep that even reading the most cheerful romance novel can't make her smile in the least bit. Her marefriend of four years, Fluttershy, has gotten more and more worried as the days passed. Perhaps she has a sweet surprise for our depressed unicorn.

This is my entry for the TwiShy Group August Dual Contest. This follows both possible prompts.

Twilight's life has been threatened. Ashura is just out of training and has signed up to protect Twilight Sparkle. Using his abilities will he be able to protect her, or will he be the one to take her life. Everyone has secrets, some can hurt the ones we love the most. There are things in the world around us that we fail to see, even when they are right in front of us. Will Twilight die or live, will she be the same she was before. It's life, and who knows what the future holds.
