Ghosts of the past continue to haunt Cozy Glow in more ways than one. Not only does she have to adjust to her fate with her newly adopted mother, Princess Twilight, but she also has to rescue her human counterpart from a coma, thus repaying an old debt. As she investigates why this is happening, she gradually realizes that she isn’t the only one who is recovering from a tragic history.

Note: This story can be viewed as a follow up to my earlier stories "Sky Dancer, the First Flying Unicorn", "The Shadow Queen", and "Here I Am" can even be considered an outright prologue to this story. None of these stories are required reading but be warned that this new story has major spoilers for those earlier stories as early as chapter 1.

Twilight was never comfortable with the decision made on that day. After a decade of cleaning up the messes her predecessors had left behind, she couldn't in good conscience leave another behind for whoever followed in her hoofsteps.

Written for the Thousand Words Contest II in the Horror category because sometimes you just gotta.

Well, okay then

And apparently A dramatic reading by StraightToThePointStudios
Think that's actually a first for me.

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)

Retrieving Grogar's long lost bell was a good start, but Cozy Glow knows that she, Tirek and Chrysalis still have a ways to go before they'll be a true team capable of defeating Twilight Sparkle and her friends. With Chrysalis away on another infiltration/sabotage mission, Cozy has to rely on her other bestest frenemy to be up for another, albeit smaller, team-building exercise. After all, teamwork, just like friendship, has to come from small things as well as big.

Happy Hearth's Warming, everycreature!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

For so long, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow stood paralyzed in their stone cacoon; unable to move. To speak. To do anything. But that didn't mean they couldn't see or hear everything around them. For age after age.
