For those watching me, you may or may not remember me advertising the Cozy Glow group's contest in a blog post a few months back. The good news is enough people expressed interest, and the contest is now wrapping up (which for those of you who weren't aware of it, probably explains all the Cozy Glow stories posted here the past few weeks 
). I'm not a huge fan of 'dark' so most of the prompts weren't really up my alley, but as soon as I saw Cutie mark yesterday, cuteceañera today! I knew I had one I could work with.

Footy pajamas! Just like she wears in the story. They're super-duper cozy!

As for Flitterheart, she's a toy-only pony (HasbrOC as I've seen them called) from the early days of the G4 toyline:

Ratings disabled because of the contest...
...And because I disable them most of the time anyway.

If Cozy's relatives sound familiar, well, nopony Cares like the Bears.
The sweetest, most loving family in Equestria. A full day's dosage of irony!

Sweet Stuff demonstrates autodefenestration.
Defenestration doesn't come up nearly as often as it should. This is the official term for going out through a window, regardless of whether it's open or not. Autodefenstration/self-defenstration is when it's self-inflicted, such as Brightheart's escape from his sister, and Proudheart's pursuit of her brother.
Since pegasi can fly, and humans can't, I'd imagine it's a much more common term in Equestria than it is here on Earth.

Writing Cozy Glow as a sympathetic character? Seriously, I must be crazy.
Despite ending on a happy note, it's bittersweet since we know exactly how it's going to end for her. Can there be a 'happy' ending for a character that's caused so much harm? Hasbro doesn't seem to think so. Take that, core demographic! We cater only to adult males aged 18-35!
At least she makes a cute statue.
Not as much extra information in here as in some of your chapter-accompanying blog posts (well, at least to me, though some of that is also because it's been in blogs of yours I've read before, I believe :)), but still, some (and some art :)); thanks. :)
Love the artwork here! Thanks for sharing!
Defenestration... my favorite word! Nice to see someone who knows it!
