I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

T

Cozy Glow is missing. Detective Luna is on the case.


Inspired by the Cozy Glow contest, but doesn't adhere to their rules so 😝. Here it is anyway.


Heyyyyyyy! Peaked at number one in the feature box! Thanks, everypony!

"Are... are you sure we can't just... let them be?"

"Nopony hesitated with Pinkie."

"But she's a kid!"

"Very well, constable. Which one of you will pay for child support?"

Ropes began to rustle as ten thousand Cozies untied themselves and darted, tiny wings buzzing, for the doors and windows. First one, then a few, then tens and scores of them threw themselves at the boarded-up windows and doors. A dozen Cozies grabbed a singleton and used her as a battering ram, trying to smite a window open.

I think Twilight's had this exact nightmare

Well that did not go the way I expected o.o

Have a like pal,

"Do what must be done, constable. Do not hesitate, show no mercy."

I wonder what happened with the shattered Cozies... Ewww? Nopony's got time to repair them before the depertification!

10367396
Well, first draft was M-rated because of that.... :twilightoops:

This was more funny then anything.

10367390
ten thousand Cozies running around and shouting:"GOLLY! GOLLY!"

Ooh, this was great. I've been pining for more post-retirement Luna stories, and the story itself was hilarious besides. That ending, though... :twilightoops:

Mica #10 · Aug 4th, 2020 · · ·

Uh oh. That ending was hilarous. :rainbowlaugh:

I wish this could be entered into the contest.

10367491

Yeah, it's sad, but rules are rules. Too bad I can't enter my Cozy Glow/Minuette from last year, either!

great story! :D. Sad that this cant be entered for the competition, but oh well, rules are rules

OMFG that’s great!

*Flim and Flam clutch their throats and fall over dead*

Luna: "“I find your lack of intelligence disturbing.”

Is this really the end of it? I would love to see how this Cozypocalypse plays out if all the clones escape.

Well, hopefully in the intervening years between "Too Many Pinkie Pies" and this, Twilight came up with a quicker and more accurate way to leave the original while sending the rest back to the pool.

10367493
So why can't you? I looked over those rules myself, and with the possible question of this not following a prompt, I don't see anything wrong with it.
10367650
Yeah! We wouldn't want anyone skipping out on eternal damnation after all!:pinkiecrazy:

10367743
I'm at 30% of the minimum word count!

I wonder if Equestria has an equivalent of being drawn and quartered? After this these two deserve it. Also Twilight you need to put far better security around that mirror pool.

10367744
Ah okay. I am terrible at tracking words so I should've suspected it would be something like that.

Twilight strode down the steps from her throne and hugged Luna. "No formalities! So good to see you! How's Celestia?"

"Excellent, she's enjoying herself greatly."

I was expecting the real one to have been one of the piñatas, but this works too. I would have just made a mold and used cement for the replicas.

Dunno if it really counts as a death trope; there's far more Cozy Glows at the end of the story than before.

But goodness gracious f*ck, is this story utterly hilarious. Think it grates a little bit with the "Luna's determined; she's staying in Canterlot" bit, but every other spot of this story is a hilarious thrill ride.

Good work, Sock, on this fantastic FIMFic.

I was expecting the real one to have been one of the piñatas, but this works too.

Same here. Cue a grimdark/gore/hurt&comfort sequel, like something out of milesprower06's playbook.

Speaking of, Sock, now we have to write a crossover fic where ten thousand Cozy Glows fight ten thousand Scootaloos :pinkiecrazy:

10368063
Exactly why I didn't write the cozypocalypse! That lane is occupied.

Well Luna has her work cut out for her I think. But by definition finding the original shouldn't be too hard...

10368063
Yes! This must become a thing! Cozy Glow vs Scootaloo!

The Pummeling In Ponyville!

The Clash In Canterlot!

The Maiming In Manehatten!

10367417
Sounds like a dream come true for some of us.

Silver lining, Mirror Pool clones are single-minded simpletons that fixate on a one-dimensional personality concept of their original.

I wonder what Cozy was fixated on...

...Probably a song.

Luna is on the case

I haven't read this story, but I just wanted to tell you that you forgot to use the tag mystery, based off of the description context.
Have a nice day!

LOL. I think at least a few of the Cozy Glows are likely to escape to cause havoc.

10368508
Well I'm afraid that was your mistake. Because while the description may read like one, and the story uses it as a bit of a set up, as a whole, it's not a mystery. There's no real focus on finding clues or trying to figure out the culprit.

Which, now that you bring it up and I think about it, this should probably be marked as a comedy. A dark comedy, perhaps, but one all the same.

10368715
Thanks for the clarification

The most part i like is about the 'culprits' ,it's a vivid Capitalists Image.
I literally want to share it with others.:twilightsmile:
So,may i translate it to chinese?Of course i will give you credit.

10368715

Yeah, makes sense.

Luna spun and levitated up Flim and Flam, shaking them, her face magmatic with fury. "The mirror pool?" she demanded.

Flim choked as her magic squeezed his windpipe, but Flam gasped out, "You didn't expect us to make statues the hard way, did you?"

Oh hell no. :twilightoops:

The idiots! :facehoof:


... I wonder what the Pinkie clone is up to right now...

ROFLMFAO

Oh, the Irony, the Irony!!!!!!!!!

OK that's it, there is going to be a new statue of Flim and Flam kicking each other in the junk

"And you? Your retirement?"
Luna nuzzled Twilight, then took a step back, looking up at her. Twilight was even taller than last time! "Boring. I've tried some hobbies and some day jobs, but nothing that has kept my attention."

Maybe try an night job instead? For obvious reasons.

In Twilight's name, why?

Good to see they are already adapting their foul language.

Manehattan! Manehattan had a better music scene than Canterlot, and moving there would not interfere with Twilight's reign. Join the Manehattan Police, and sing on her nights off. Yes! Huzzah! An excellent plan.

Besides, Manehattan is (probably) the city that never sleeps, which might add an personal touch for Luna.

Her tail swished in anticipation of all the stallions she would meet...

And if that doesn't work in Manehatten, try Las Pegasus next.


Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.

I was really expecting Cozy to be one of the broken statues, lol. Great job with this story, and great use of Flim and Flam.

10379886
Thanks!

Oddly I have two Fics tagged Dark/Death/Comedy, and they're both also tagged FlimFlam...

Silver Shoals was so boring; the stallions were all elderly and past their prime, having lost their.... ahem. Verve.

Reminder that the retirement community from "The Point of No Return" was Silver Stables. No indication that Silver Shoals isn't some Cartribbean tourist destination full of swarthy cabana colts.

In any case, magnificently twisted little tale. Thank you for it. even if those piñatas took on a much grislier tone at the end. :twilightoops:

And after that, rumors of strange little pink fillies around Equestria doing evil expanded, at the same time Princess Luna somehow vanished from Canterlot

She'd had more dates in the last four weeks, even with her busy work schedule, than in the last fifteen years. She would move back to Canterlot, although it would require a certain gentle touch to avoid interfering with the perceptions of Twilight as the sole and undisputed ruler of Equestria... Get an apartment in the Entertainment District, perhaps return to the lounge singing career she had enjoyed as a young pegasus, before Discord's reign forced her into government... Manehattan! Manehattan had a better music scene than Canterlot, and moving there would not interfere with Twilight's reign. Join the Manehattan Police, and sing on her nights off. Yes! Huzzah! An excellent plan.

Fix Luna being a Pegasus here, or mark this an AU. We have 100% canon proof that she and Celestia were alicorns when they beat him. And they were alicorns when they found the Elements of Harmony, so the Elements had nothing to do with them being alicorns.

Ohhh, that's hilarious :pinkiecrazy:
