Two years ago, Rainbow Dash was attacked by a werewolf. She survived, but became a werewolf. After the Battle of the Bands, she finds herself telling her friends what she is.
But the old trauma remains, and when trying to help another friend adjust to become a werewolf, too, Rainbow Dash finds herself struggling to keep up with her old nightmares, and prevent Lyra Heartstrings from the same fears.
Well I'm hooked
That’s pretty interesting.
Next time don’t force someone to ask a question.
Why?
Is that a headcanon that the fandom just agreed with or was it actually confirmed by the writers?

It's a headcanon. This fic takes place just after Rainbow Rocks, so it hasn't been that long since the Fall Formal.
It also just makes sense to me--her best friends almost died, adter all. Applejack voices a similar opinion in "I Am a Monster"
Edit: just caught what you were asking. I don't know if it was confirmed anywhere, but that scene totally looks like she got possessed at the end, there. If you look closely, you can see her trying to take the crown off just before the transformation. She also tells Twilight in Friendship Games, "I put on a crown, and just like you, I was consumed by the magic it contained."

Glad you like it! I'll have edited and posted soon.
11655019
Oh ok. Because, I always thought that it wasn’t the crown’s fault. So I sometimes found it strange people blamed the crown.
11655023
Yes and no? I'm not saying she's not responsible for everything else, but if she wanted to kill Twilight then she had a sledgehammer, she could have just hit her while she was running past to go rescue Spike. It's at least how I interpret it, and will be how I view it in my fics for the most part.

Interesting
Never thought I would see this reaction from pinkie.
Wait, so she could’ve solved the sunset problem all on her own?
That sucks
11657140
For similar reasons to why she didn't go to stop the Dazzlings, she decided not to beat up the Sunset Shimmer. Admittedly, I have slight pothole in how Sunset got a hold of the crown at that point, but once she actually put the crown on, there was no amount of werewolf magic that could help her.
11657147
I guess eating sunset does sound a little disgusting.
So similar to when sunset shimmer put on the crown?
She’s not wrong.
What does she mean?
Wait, so who won the betting pull?
This is too funny to me.
Damn.
This makes me wonder how many werewolves are there? And what side are they on?
I’m a little confused. Wasn’t she upset at trixie for butting into her business? Isn’t she technically doing the same thing?
Meltdown? That’s what she wants to call it? I feel like there’s probably a better name.
Interesting
She’s not wrong.
You snitch

I wasn't intending a parallel between soarin and sunset, but less 'possession' and more 'driven mad', but thinking back, I actually really like it.
As for the last thing, read on my friend!
11657192
So does that mean equestrian magic might be the origin of the werewolves?
11657193
A lot of the questions about werewolves will probably be answered in a sequel at some point, but for the most part they were irrelevant to the story, so i either didn't think about it or it just never came up.
As far as the betting pool is concerned, I originally had a bit planned for that, but I couldn't figure out how to fit it in. I'll probably find a spot for it during editting.
11657210
Ok cool
Wait, so trixie won the bet? Yeah, RD ain’t getting that.
To be fair, I feel like nothing bad would happen if they knew. They already know about magic.
Damn
Didn’t know that.
Yeah, from EVERYONE.
Cool
Woo they can talk now
Luna sounds powerful.
That’s pretty interesting. This makes want to know more about magic.
I always wondered how powerful alicorns were.
It makes sense that it would like luna.
That’s understandable.
I would’ve liked it if it was more reluctant. The wolf strikes me as someone stubborn.
This makes me interested in dark magic.
This actually reminds me of naruto.
What are you guys gonna do?
11659751
Perhaps the wolf should have been more reluctant, I was on the last chapters and kinda just spit them out.
As far as alicorns go, we know from the v4 finale that four of them have the raw magical power of everypony else in equestria...plus discord.
11659763
Probably? Cry. Her organization has resources, but even just the werewolves give them trouble.
11660134
How could I forget about that?
11660135
I would actually love a scene of them crying when a threat comes.
