Every day for a year Starlight Glimmer has visited Cozy Glow in Tartarus in an attempt to get through to her, to try to understand why she did what she did. Every Day Cozy has refused help by telling more lies and fake stories about her past. But Starlight knows from experience that no one is beyond saving, so she decides to put everything on the line to help Cozy Glow, whether the stubborn filly wants it or not!

In this story, Cozy Glow wakes up after being thrown into Tartatus, then being brought back by "Grogar" and finally becoming a stone statue with Chrysalis and Tirek...or she thought it happened.
When Twilight Sparkle appears nearby Cozy, a little pegasus is terrified and remorseful, but headmare quickly fills her in on everything that happened during and after the moment Tirek fled Tartarus, almost wiped out all the magic from Equestria and even almost killed Cozy. She also knows from Princess Luna that Cozy had nightmares of being thrown to Tartarus and then turned to stone.
But there are some things Twilight wants to know about Cozy.

Starlight Glimmer has already been Headmare of the School of Friendship for a few days now ever since Twilight had ascended as Princess of Equestria. There is one more assignment that Twilight wants Starlight to do as a Guidance Counselor; talk to the just freed from stone Cozy Glow, find out more about her, and what led her to become a villain at such a young age. Maybe, just maybe, this could lead to the path to redemption.

Or maybe not.

Rated T for moments of language

Being the smart one in a group of pony-hating creatures was a tough task for a little filly such as herself, but Cozy Glow was certain she had it handled. She just needed to sweet-talk them into seeing how much they needed her wits, and then make them like her enough to want to protect her from harm. That would be super easy.

The hard part was doing that while avoiding being singled out as a potential threat by Grogar, their clearly unhinged leader.

Fillies don't usually go to Tartarus.

Celestia didn't want there to be an exception.

But Cozy Glow wouldn't let Celestia be merciful, no matter how hard she tried.

The battle is over. 

Chrysalis and her co-conspirators have lost, against all odds, defeated once again by the power of friendship (and overwhelming numbers). For their crimes they find themselves imprisoned in stone, petrified and locked away, and it seems as though their punishment will last forever.

But the new Princess of Equestria isn’t finished with them just yet.

After escaping their stone imprisonment, the ex-villains of Equestria, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow go on an unexpected journey together, where along the way, they’ll discover there's more to each other than they first thought, opening doors to bonds they never would of thought possible.

Is power really just all Cozy needed? Outside approval what Tirek wanted? Or a new place for Chrysalis to belong? What do these three very different creatures have to learn, or gain, from each other?

Having learned much in the ways of friendship, the Young Six begin to feel sorry for Cozy Glow. After seeking the Tree of Harmony's advice, they come up with the perfect plan to save their former classmate from ridicule.

A simple dentist trip. This was all Cozy Glow had planned for today.

And yet, instead of holding back her desire to wet herself from seeing the dentist, she wound up talking with the Princess of Love.

What even was today?!

This story is a sequel to The Once and the Future Princess

As of late, things have changed for Cozy Glow. She is not a prisoner any longer, but Princess Twilight's personal student together with Flurry Heart. She is not alone anymore, but she has made friends with plenty of ponies and become a valued friend in turn. She even has a special somepony! 

Now she is ready to, for the first time in her life, be a normal filly. She will explore the world, learn and grow together with her friends and her mentor.

These are the ordinary days in the life of one of the most extraordinary ponies in Equestria.

This is an anthology series made up of one- and two-shots. Chronologically, this is set after "The Once and Future Princess", but before the Epilogue of that story. Reading the sequel should not be necessary to enjoy these stories by themselves, but it will provide the background for these stories.
