We know Cozy Glow, ‘Empress of Friendship’, crazy manipulative five year old and banished villain. Let’s hear her backstory now, shall we?

Cozy Glow is a little filly, born from a surrogate mother. Her real parents turned her away after she was born, declaring her too frail to be in the high-class society of Canterlot.

After being sent to Bright Hearts Orphanage in Manehatten, she quickly finds out at the young age of three that it is very easy to fake emotions to get what you want.

She uses this to her full advantage.

Friendship School needs more than five students to really get off the ground. Twilight has an elegant solution for some definition of "elegant."

This story is a sequel to A Diamond's Glow

You know Cozy Glow. Irredeemable villainess, insane filly, terrible hair. If all those things are true though, why has a certain reformed tiaraed bully suddenly made it her life's mission to help the petrified pest?

Or even, will Twilight let her try?

Well, there's no harm in asking... right?

You don't have to read the previous one-shot to enjoy this fic, but it might provide some additional context for the story.

Possible SPOILERS. Sick of life behind bars at Tartarus, Cozy Glow gets an unexpected visitor in the shape of former bully Diamond Tiara. Their conversation is interesting to say the least, and is documented here for posterity (and future evidence).

Featured on 11/9/18. It's true.

Written for the Cozy Glow Short Story Contest and set after "The Ending of the End- Part 1"

Cozy Glow's mother and father return from a long trip just before Twilight's coronation, and are understandably unhappy at being parents to a statue. Where have they been all this time, though? And how did their daughter turn out the way she did?

A complete redo of a fic I briefly started before deleting, this time featuring extra character development, a more coherent plot and less irritating narration. I hope this is a marked improvement on the original, because I really like this idea and want to explore it more.

Featured from 6/9/20 to 8/9/20

Released from Tartarus, Cozy Glow now spends her days doing community service to make up for her past crimes. However, in your troubles, she discovered something...something that may reveal a fate worse than even Hell itself...bad writing. Could this really be the ending of the end? Or is it just the beginning of the ending of the ending of the end?

Prompt: Cozy's got a secret!

Cozy Glow loves games. She has as long as she can remember. The pony she plays with most often is her father. They play a lot of games together, but her favorite is chess. She's never beaten him, but she will someday, right?

Honorable mention in the Cozy Glow contest.

Edited wonderfully by Rated Ponystar, Georg, Babroniedad, Professor Hyde White, Double R Forrest, TheAncientPolitzanian, and MisterEdd!

The headmistress of the Friendship School, Starlight Glimmer, is worried. Where did Cozy Glow come from? Who or what made her to be the force of evil that she was?

In her quest for answers, Starlight uses reflection magic to interrogate a shade of Cozy, a reflection, but finds that even as a mere memory, Cozy wields more power over Starlight than she had anticipated.

Rated Teen. Written for the Cozy Glow short story contest.

Twice in Equestria's history, an unhinged flying pony has attempted to take over before being sealed in stone as indefinite punishment. The first failed usurper didn't mellow at all during her sentence. The second one though...

Moody, atmospheric character vignette that got 2nd place in the Cozy Glow Group's August 2020 Short Story Contest. Golly, am I honored.
