After being exposed as the ring leader of Anon-A-Miss, Apple Bloom is "Banished" to the town of Allspark Wells. There she will live with her honorary "Uncle" Ironhide and his friends as she comes to terms with what she's done and rebuilds her life. As she gains new friends, Apple Bloom begins to realize that despite what she's done, she has a place to call home. After all, Allspark Wells is the place "where new futures are forged."

This story is written with the implication it is set in author SunnyDays’s “clipperverse,” and though not officially part of their universe, it is made with their permission.

Cozy Glow has long abandoned the lands of Equestria, carrying her burdens with her. Too many mistakes to count, she deserved to be alone. All she wanted was to get rid of her regrets inside her head. Even being an alicorn merely made the pain only a little more tolerable.

Spike is the last one left after the rest of Equestria's defenders are defeated and imprisoned. He's now on a mission to find help outside his homeland, where he finds a powerful alicorn filly.

Cozy tells the untold tale of her time growing up at Sunrise orphanage. Where her intelligence makes her an outcast until she befriends another filly named Aurora who starts to idolize her. Cozy and Aurora Grow up practicing chess with each other and this leads to Cozy realizing she has real passion for the game. This is until disaster strikes which puts Cozy on a dark path.

This will be my submission to the 4th annual Cozy Glow short story contest.

Oh, and the Prompts used are "Gap story" and "And that was when she realized that it had all gone wrong"

After years spent as a statue in the garden of Princess Twilight Sparkle, Cozy Glow is rescued by a mysterious unicorn calling herself Sunset Shimmer, who intended to take her back to the mirror realm for rehabilitation. But something went wrong with the portal and they instead ended up in the realm of Everglow. A realm much like Equestria, but where ponykind has still to unite under one banner.

Making their home in the Unicorn Kingdom of Taralos, Sunset meets and befriends the griffin Silverwing while Cozy makes a friend in the royal court, the mysterious intelligence operative Cipher who, like Cozy, hides a dark secret.

When the horn of the son of the reigning monarch is stolen before his coronation, Cozy vows to find it in order to increase her standing with the royal family. The first step of her plan to one day take over as the reigning monarch, to rule Taralos as the Empress of Friendship. Will Cozy succeed in her ambitions? Or will Sunset's influence be enough to make her become the hero Taralos needs?

Inspired by the To Found an Empire Ponyfinder adventure path by David Silver for Pathfinder.

This story is a sequel to As the Apple Blooms

The past seven months have been quite the experience for Apple Bloom. Learning about and bonding with her uncle Ironhide, tap dancing with her boyfriend Tender Taps, helping her new sister Sideswipe, befriending Marble Pie and Rattrap, and in general, exploring her new home of Allspark Wells.

But that was only the beginning.

Now, as a new school year starts, Apple Bloom, Sideswipe, and the whole gang continue their lives as they make new friends as well as enemies, all while Ironhide, Chromia, and the others continue to provide wisdom and advice.

This story is a sequel to A Different Kind of Ending

This is a sequel to both My Boyfriend Pip, and A Different Kind of Ending. The two stories share continuity with this story.

Twilight Sparkle has been put in charge of watching over Cozy Glow, who now permanently possesses the power of Grogar's magic. Twilight is determined to prove that there is no foe irredeemable, so she decides to show Cozy the wonders of magic, and offers her a chance to show off her magical prowess. However, so much time has passed since Cozy was a regular member of society, that reintegrating into the normal life might prove challenging, and may not be possible. At least not without the help of somepony who's gone through something similar. Meanwhile, Twilight must come to terms with her new role as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's successor.

After seeking refuge in Equestria during the Anon-A-Miss fiasco, Sunset Shimmer is stranded in Equestria. Convinced that she's just not cut out for friendship, Sunset throws herself back into her studies. Unfortunately for her, all the magic around CHS has attracted the attention of a certain spectacled scientist. When her device accidentally pulls the mysterious energy from the statue in front of the school, she is shocked when an amber unicorn was pulled out with it. With the portal not working, the two must work together to gather the energy needed to send Sunset home from the only magical source left to tap: Sunset's former friends, all while dealing with the overbearing principal of Crystal Prep as the Friendship Games approach.

Sunset's had enough. All the hate aimed at her on a daily bases for a crime she never even committed finally pushed her to the breaking point. When she finally decides to end the pain, a former victim of her cruelty becomes her savior. Now the battle to gather what little remains of Sunset's heart has begun, and with her new friends at her sides, will she be victorious or will Anon-a-miss finally break what's left of her?

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.

Everything happens for a reason, even if you don't know what that reason really is. After some untold period of time, Cozy Glow awakens and finds herself freed from her imprisonment. Unsure of where she is, how long she's been gone, or how she escaped, there's one question that haunts her and demands an answer - why was she released...
