After almost a year of imprisonment, the cunning, manipulative and resourceful filly known as Cozy Glow makes a daring escape from Tartarus, albeit getting injured in the process. The Mane 6 and Starlight Glimmer are quickly assigned to aid and apprehend her.

But as Twilight and her friends search for her, they encounter key figures of Cozy Glow's past and soon discover that she wasn't always the evil filly everypony has come to know her as. This leaves them contemplating if whether or not there is still good in Cozy Glow.

A Cozy Glow Redemption Fic

(Takes Place After Season 8)

This story is a sequel to Chiaroscuro

Cozy Glow can't remember the last time she'd felt the need—or had the ability—to blink. But with Stygian, a pony she vaguely recalls, standing in front of her and saying that she's Equestria's only hope? That definitely deserves a blink or two...

An entry in the 2023 May Pairings Contest, this story received one of the five "Judge's Prizes" in the final results.

Twilight releases Cozy Glow from her stone imprisonment, hoping to reform her, after she agrees to certain terms; no hurting anypony anymore or scheming to steal their power, no more conspiring with evil forces, apologizing to everypony she's hurt stuff like that. But the part of the deal Twilight is admittedly the most eager about is for Cozy to tell her about her past, how she got to the point she did, and help Twilight and everypony else understand her.

There's one catch to that last one though… Cozy Glow doesn't actually remember her past. More specifically, she took a potion that erased all her memories of her past, beyond her general objective of syphoning as much magic as she could and obtaining a position of power, shortly before arriving at Twilight's school. But she does have a list of possible origins for herself, that her past self left for her that all contain some motive for what she did. And Twilight's friends are willing to throw out their own theories.

No matter what the real answer, Cozy and Twilight's friends seem to have a good time with it. Much to Twilight's frustration.

Many of these parody other origin stories I've seen for Cozy Glow. Though not all of them. I'll give credit for the ideas other people came up with as best I can.

As the title states, this story was inspired by "The Many Secret Origins of Scootaloo" (great story by the way). But only loosely.

It has been 500 years since the begining of Princess Twilights reign and Darning Weave has found a promising new student for the School of Friendship. Getting Easle Splash to agree could have been an issue, until said student decided to paint Equestrias Draconic Friendship Ambassador during his nap, and as the closest figure of authority, Darning Weave decreed the colts punishment should be three years of Harmoney approved school work.

Follow the Crusader six, Easle Splash, Silent Knight, Dream Catcher, Chenin Grape, Jade Star and Liqurice Toastie as they match wits with one of equestrias most nutorius villans, face eternal day, complete home work, contront the Alicorn at the end of time, a librarian who knows a little to much and very sticky tree sap.

As part of a teambuilding exercise, the former darklord, Sombra and Cozy Glow go to the carnival. While Sombra is initially unamused by the endeavor, this changes as he learns a little bit more about Cozy.

What sort of crazy things will these two get up to?

This story is a sequel to What happens to Golly?

In a continuation of "What Happens to Golly", Cozy Glow struggles to find her place in the free world, making new friends and possibly some enemies along the way. Hijinx ensues as Astral finds care for an energetic young pegasus is not as easy as she had previously anticipated.

Cozy Glow hates working in this stupid coffee shop, but she hates one particular recurring customer just as much. Even if that mare is the one who got her this job in the first place.

This story is a sequel to Glow in the Dark

After a night of loss, three non-ponies are left mutilated, barely surviving the epic battle initiated by Cozy Glow in the throneroom. Candid, Opul, and Droll still need to fight to live in their dystopian community. With the city's previous leader deceased, could this be a chance for a new beginning?

Warning: The following story is currently unedited and follows more of a Twilight Zone episode.

What you are about to witness is a nightmare. Her name is Cozy Glow. Though she may be young, she is a genius manipulator, strategist, and child actress who has conned herself into the most significant role of all. She will be our guide into a world where “truth” and “lie” no longer have meaning. Where the darkest Machiavellian instincts are given free rein; and tolerance has become a thing of the past. With no one to balance out her newfound power, Cozy Glow can shape Equestria in any way she pleases, by whatever means necessary. Yet, this young tyrant will have to deal with the fallout of her own making. She will have no outside help within her borders… of The Twilight Zone.
