[PLAN TO REWRITE]

A lot can change from one argument. Cozy Glow wanted nothing more but to be somepony else. Anyone else. Instead, she was this little powerless pegasus that did nothing but what her mother demanded... what her mother planned! She was sick of mother's plans. She was sick of her own name! So, the filly took it upon herself to pack her things and run.

She had some family in the Crystal Empire. Perhaps it would do her some good to visit them? Maybe they could understand her issue. Maybe they could help her?

What she didn't know however was that her greatest mistake would be stepping into the Empire itself. After she walked in... she never came back out.
When King Sombra took over and dragged the entire empire along with him down his one thousand year banishment a little filly was caught in the crossfire.

It's Hearth's Warming Eve and Fluttershy's gift from Aunt Luna is a nutcracker. Her aunt tells her that he is under a curse, cast by an evil monster called the Chaos King.

She doesn't believe her until night falls and the Chaos King comes with his army. Shrunk in the battle, Fluttershy must venture with the nutcracker into the Land of Sweets to defeat the Chaos King and break his evil spells.

An MLP twist on "The Nutcracker."

Review by Rosie Sievers and Eagle Tale

These stories continue the adventures of Feather Wind, Stern Wing, and Vision's journey with eccentric Time Lord the Doctor and his adorable assistant, Derpy Hooves. This is the sort of sequel to "Sky Dancer, the First Flying Unicorn". More specifically, it is an extension of chapter 17, "Adventures in the TARDIS". While reading Sky Dancer is not required, these stories will most definitely have spoilers for everything before chapter 17 but not after that chapter because those chapters haven't happened yet in this timeline. This is a closer look at the years Feather recapped past for his daughter. However, these new stories won't be flashbacks anymore. Rather it will be told as if these events are occurring in the present tense.

Each of these stories will be told in its own arc which follows the formula of the classic Doctor Who series. When an individual adventure is complete, the next story will be told in its own arc. Some threads of these stories might have an over-arcing story, but otherwise, they'll have an episodic formula. Great effort is made to make this series feel like an authentic Doctor Who episodes insofar as characters, setting, events, and plot are concerned but they'll have an MLP twist.

Ghosts of the past continue to haunt Cozy Glow in more ways than one. Not only does she have to adjust to her fate with her newly adopted mother, Princess Twilight, but she also has to rescue her human counterpart from a coma, thus repaying an old debt. As she investigates why this is happening, she gradually realizes that she isn’t the only one who is recovering from a tragic history.

Note: This story can be viewed as a follow up to my earlier stories "Sky Dancer, the First Flying Unicorn", "The Shadow Queen", and "Here I Am" can even be considered an outright prologue to this story. None of these stories are required reading but be warned that this new story has major spoilers for those earlier stories as early as chapter 1.

This story is a sequel to The Equestria Chronicles: Journey Through The Crystal Mountains

As the Equestria's Finest expedition, under the unwavering leadership of Twilight Sparkle, triumphs over one friendship dilemma, their journey extends far beyond the horizon. Their path unfurls toward the enigmatic realms of Griffinstone, Swallowtail, and the fabled Unicorn Kingdom in the distant east. Yet, reaching Griffonia is a formidable quest in its own right, with perilous encounters with pirates, ruthless bandits, and a war-torn continent challenging their every step. Nevertheless, they are not embarking on this odyssey alone. As both familiar and newfound friends rally behind the banner of friendship, all in pursuit of a brighter, more harmonious tomorrow.

This story takes place during season 6 after "Gauntlet of Fire" before 'No Second Prance's' for obvious reasons. Also, the season five finale, the season five episode 'Party Pooped', The season six two-parter, 'The Crystalling,' and the rest of season six onward are not canon to this AU.
