One second she was about to taste the sweet and delicious victory she's been yearning for since she was imprisoned.
"You're a pony yourself, aren't you? I'd be damned if you were the next one to bring my downfall, pony."
Instead, she's tasting the Castle floor as her mind began to fully understand the situation she was in. All decisive thoughts were thrown out the window. There was only anger and pain.
Aww, that was good! I always loved the idea of Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow staying together as friends. Or even a taking a trip to see Tirek's homeland.
great story thank you so much
Any plan of a sequel?
They aren't real friends Cozy.
And they never were
Thank you so much for making this! I've always wanted those three to finally, you know...
I just love this so much!
Is it bad I actually prefer this ending to the one we got in canon?
Welcome back. I’ve read your first story on this trio before and it was pretty good. This one is no different.
Fantastic

No, canon ending and last season's true villain is bad writing
Absolutely gorgeous story. If there’s more, then sign me up!
Hiya there, Haoryu Changer!
I have a few thoughts. Mostly positive ones, don’t worry.
First off, I love this story! I can’t really describe how it feel about it overall, so let me just point out a few things I loved.
Your Luna is adorable. She’s insanely cute. Bone-crushing hugs that would make Pinkie proud? Mischievous pranks that would make Discord proud? Sign me up!
Many tend to forget that Luna is a pretty mischievous pony. She was, after all, the one who installed all those traps and pranks in the Castle of the Two Sisters. (Celestia, too, has a mischievous streak. Honestly, both sisters would get along so well with Discord.)

Now, as much as I enjoyed this story, I do have to point out something that bugged me.
Twice you mentioned Princess Twilight as the ruler of Canterlot, which is not true. She’s the ruler of all Equestria. That bothered me a little, but in no way did it impede my ability to enjoy the story.
I have more to say, but this comment is getting long enough as it is, so I’ll end it here. Just know that I love this piece and I’m creating a new bookshelf, because it doesn’t fit anywhere else. Congratulations, An Obvious Treachery, you’re the first entry into ‘Best of Long Shots’.
Slight edit: In the time it took me to write and post this comment, this story made the featured box, got 26 more upvotes and 9 more comments. Just wanted to point that out.
See you around, dear author!
Absolutely lovely fic!

Very true
hope there'll be a sequel, with this obvious of a sequel hook
this is one of, if not the greatest cozy glow story ive ever read. i feel like i have to say more, but what else do i need to say?
Why didn't she hide her appearance before letting Celestia and Luna in?
nice

‘Cause she didn't know Celestia and Luna were coming in. She thought it was just a random someone seeking refuge from the storm. Cozy said it happened often.
Finally! A good reformation story!
I'm so glad they found a better way to be buddies.

Same here! Hence why I wrote one of the stories I thought of. I wished this happened in actual canon, though.

Not at the moment, no. But maybe one day. I do have another chapter in the back of my head that I might write in the future, but we'll see.
11333791
Glad to see you again.

Exactly as 11334335 said. She doesn't really care about her appearance with the exception of her wings which make her an alicorn. She could also make her horn vanish but then she wouldn't be able to do magic without others suspecting her.

I love your review of my fic, thank you so much!
You're right, she isn't just ruling Canterlot but all of Equestria. I should change that soon.
Don't be afraid to send the most you can in the comment section. Us writers really enjoy our comments/reviews!
But again, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It means a lot!
This is a great story!
Tirek and Chrysalis turning on Cozy does make sense and is a good reason for her changing the way she did, although the thought of a child living alone in the cabin and making those deals at the village like that is something I find unintentionally funny. I really liked the trio's reunion and how it was practically like a bunch of old friends getting together. It was a lot of fun.
Overall, I really loved this one.
One I got confused about.. she casts magic how? Is she still alicorn or she's now an unique pegasus dabbling in arcane magic, or it's a feature of bell?
11334572
She's still an alicorn
This was great, it was absolutely not what I expected.
All in favor of making this the new cannon *raises hand
11335330
Pretty much, yeah. The ending for Cozy and her allies in the show was crap.
Nicely done. :)
Not bad but even so, I'm a little surprised Tirek and Chrysalis could trust each other at the beginning more that they could trust Cozy Glow
11338535
They trust each other because they're both past villains for Equestria. Cozy is too, which is why in canon they made it so far with only minimal fighting, but in this AU they betray her because she's a pony.
Thanks for reading, Kichi!
Really loved this. So great and always glad to see the trio reformed.
I want to see a sequel of this
You'd have to host all the nobles at your new party for one. I mean, can you even imagine?

Along with Sombra's (especially compared to the comic version).👎
Or they could have all been turned to stone
