The worst part of a betrayal is often not the act itself, but everything that lingers after. Trying to piece together the motivations of someone you once trusted, sifting through memories for some sign you might have missed.

Wondering if, somehow, they had a good reason behind it all.

Seeking closure, Twilight tries to find answers in Cozy Glow's abandoned possessions, but the truth she discovers is one that will make her question everything.

Written for the 3rd Annual Cozy Glow Short Story Contest.

Prompts used:
-Twilight Sparkle gathers Cozy’s belongings for disposal. One object surprises her.
-Cozy’s got a secret!

Ever wondered why nearly every student in a school dedicated to friendship immediately joined Cozy on her plot? Well, you see… she did her groundwork thoroughly, marinating the entire school until they didn’t even realize what ideals they were following.

Written as part of the Cozy Glow Contest. Proofreading, as always, was done by Vito. If not for their encouragement, I don't think I'd have finished this.

She’s here. The demigod. I can taste her. The air is thick with the scent of marigolds. The scent of death. “Where are you, Princess?” I call, and the point of my rapier scrapes along the ground. “I’ve been looking for you.”

My entry for the third Cozy Glow contest, with the prompt 'Flurry Heart and Cozy Glow develop a strong friendship that turns into something more'. A twisted romance between a goddess and the killer who loves her.
TW: Blood, violence.

Thanks to Snow for vibe checks, the title, and proof reading.

Sequel to Only A Filly.

Cozy Glow, the filly scourge of Equestria, was snatched from her stone prison mere moments before her destruction. Twilight Velvet tried to recover the innocent filly hiding within the hardened shell of the brutal Cozy Glow, but Cozy Glow cannot change so easily. She's convinced that Twilight Velvet must be using some kind of mind magic to make her feel things that she thought she had repressed long ago.

Now Cozy Glow must contend with the dangers of the forest as well as the dangerous Princess of Friendship who still pursues them. But the most dangerous risk of all may be learning to trust another pony ... and Cozy Glow isn't sure she'll make it out alive.

Written for the Cozy Glow Short Story Contest #3, with the same prompt as before - "Cozy Makes an Unusual Friend."

Author's Note: Although this is a sequel, my intention is for it to function as a stand-alone story as well. There is a little bit of catch-up in the first chapter so we can be reminded of some of the events of of the first story, but keep in mind that Cozy Glow is an unreliable narrator! You may prefer to read Only A Filly before this story, but I hope you will enjoy it as a stand-alone as well. A lot of people asked for a sequel, and I really hope you all enjoy it!

Featured September 23-26, 2022

Having settled down in a small coastal town, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow now live together. They might not be family, but they were certainly more than friends. Having been given a chance at redemption, the three decided to leave their past behind.

But sometimes the past has a bad habit of seeking you out.

One sunny day a purple princess comes seeking them out. She brings mementos of the past, but more importantly, memories Cozy Glow wished she'd never have to relive.

Cozy Glow had thought her fate was sealed. She had thought her life would be spent trapped in stone for the rest of her days, not living nor dead.

That is, until she was freed thanks to a stroke of luck, sent to another world that she is not familiar with.

In this new world, however, she may find that there are some that have more in common with her than she thinks. Others...just like her.

An entry into the 3rd Annual Cozy Glow Short Story Contest. The prompt used was, "Cozy makes an unusual friend."

A story in the Normalcy is Magic collection, a collection of crossover stories that are connected with Odd Squad.

It's a tale long forgotten, and lost to time. How a filly who was all forgotten about until the end of days was rediscovered, and given a chance to redo her choices. But old tendencies die hard, and the future of Equestria is put at risk by Cozy Glow and her plan to rewrite history according to her desires.

What dwells on Cozy Glow's mind after she becomes a stone statue?

This is my first published fanfiction ever. I'm someone who is interested in writing but never got around to much practice. So, this was mostly just practice for me with the goal of trying to reach at least 1,000 words. I don't expect this to be any good, this is for now just a one shot. I welcome constructive criticism.

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.
