Celestia and Luna package and box Cozy Glow for her final trip to eternal torment in Tartarus.

Starlight shows up and becomes displeased.

If you could peer into the future, and see the exact cause, and time of your demise, how would that change your life? What if you saw the future and learned that that day was today? That's the dilemma Cozy Glow is faced with in this alternative version of the Ending of the End. In a dark twist, she uses Discord's chaos magic to take a peek into the future, and catches an early glimpse of her devastating defeat. Is there a way to prevent this horrible future from coming to fruition? Or is Cozy destined to an eternity of suffering? What does it take to make the change?

My second entry for the Cozy Glow Short Story Contest

Prompt: Cozy’s got a secret! Whether or not it’s hers is for her to know and you to find out.

Hey there, stranger. Ever wondered what went on in Cozy Glow's little old head? What made her the way she is? And what happened to her parents? We never saw her parents so it would be nice to know what they were like. Well, sit back and I'll tell you.

Shining Facade, well-renowned entrepreneur and actor, was expecting a baby with his darling wife. What he wasn't expecting was for it to be a pegasus. Things just go downhill from here.

Once upon a time, the School of Friendship was praised and accredited, after its lessons drove a little filly mad. Imprisoned in Tartarus with only an ancient monstrous centaur to keep her company, Cozy Glow was in the perfect place for Grogar to whisk away so that he could force her to do his bidding.

Twilight Sparkle's friends, bastions of Equestria's highest virtues, left Cozy Glow forgotten and alone, locked in that rusty cage deep underground. Nopony ever attempted to visit her, check up on her, care for her, reform her, or try to find out what was wrong with her.

This is not that story.

Cozy Glow is preparing to make her move to become the Empress of Friendship. With Tirek's help and the ponies in Ponyville and the School of Friendship trusting her, her plans to rule Equestria are going smoothly.

But while Cozy Glow gets ready to strike, she finds herself strangely drawn to a whiny, nerdy boy named Button Mash. She begins to write on a diary to express her interest in the earth pony while trying to figure out why she wants to be around him and feels jealous whenever Sweetie Belle spends time with him. What happens when she figures out that she realizes that she has developed a twisted form of love for the young gamer?

Cozy Glow group contest entry. As such, this story probably contains Cozy Glow. Let me check the character tags to confirm that...

Prompt: They’d set her free. They’d told her she deserved another chance. She didn’t know what being reformed meant, though, in a world where the heroes crushed the wrong-doers with overwhelming force.

Dr. Minuette will treat any patient. Even Cozy Glow. Even if dentists don't usually do Tartarus calls...

Set sometime between Seasons 8 and 9. Inspired by the old fan name for Minuette, "Colgate the Dentist."

Series finale spoilers.

Many years following the War of the Bell, Equestria is at rest, the land is filled with creatures living in peace, and friendship and the elements of harmony rein supreme. Princess Twilight Sparkle has grown in both maturity and wisdom as well as power, and, as royal advisor, Spike could not be happier with his life.

If only there wasn't the once-a-year event which seems to hurt his princess and friend so badly...

Why does she keep putting herself through this?

This story is a sequel to A Cozy Tale

Stuck in her petrified state had given Cozy Glow enough time to reflect on the events that brought her here. From her horrid foalhood to when she first stepped hoof in the School of Friendship to nearly dooming the world with her new friends, not that they ever called themselves friends.

Was it time for her to be free? And if it was, what would she do with it?

Violence tag for the many nasty ways Cozy fantasized about getting her revenge on Discord.

Cozy Glow is released from her stone prison. Now she has to start down the long road of reformation, even if in a way she’s already begun that process while in exile. But at least she has a companion that understands what she’s been through. She’s still got a lot of apologies to make though.
