An older Cozy Glow at large disguises herself as a different pony and joins the Royal Guard. This is one day of many as she protects Flurry Heart and tries to learn her enemies. She's very grumpy.

One part of a prequel to Dawn Adopted
(You don't need to read that first. This could be standalone)
Warning: Mostly slice of life, not moving the story, very minimal spoilers for the above, present tense narration

The Unity Crystals had been acting oddly for a few days, piquing Sunny and her group’s interest. The artifacts' power was unknown, holding untold secrets of the ancient world within them, but what it bestows upon them is beyond any of their wildest imagination. With endless questions, and an absolute need for more information, the ponies begin a journey to find some kind of an answer.

Leading them to the forgotten ends of Equestria, the path to their goal sends them through the ancient world where the foundations of friendship itself were laid. Though the answers they search for may be better off unanswered.

Sunny knew of the ancient world, the Elements of Harmony, and the six ponies that saved Equestria time and time again. She'd learned how the Element bearers' stories started, and how they ended, all except one - Twilight Sparkle. She always dreamed about learning more of her hero, but never would have imagined how she and her friends would soon become entwined in her tale.

Time can do many things, and for the idol of friendship, it can be her undoing.

This story was started and heavily planned when only Chapter 2 of Make Your Mark was available.

It had been nearly a decade since Cozy Glow was freed from the binds of her petrification. Still at large, and at the tail end of a visit to Kludgetown, she stumbles across a battered up filly who had just escaped some nasty creatures.

Cozy Glow hates working in this stupid coffee shop, but she hates one particular recurring customer just as much. Even if that mare is the one who got her this job in the first place.

Having settled down in a small coastal town, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow now live together. They might not be family, but they were certainly more than friends. Having been given a chance at redemption, the three decided to leave their past behind.

But sometimes the past has a bad habit of seeking you out.

One sunny day a purple princess comes seeking them out. She brings mementos of the past, but more importantly, memories Cozy Glow wished she'd never have to relive.

CURRENTLY UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING

Ten years ago, Twilight Sparkle and her friends defeated and stoned Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Chrysalis. A certain alicorn princess, Flurry Heart, is not pleased with Cozy's punishment and decides to free her.

Cozy Glow absolutely does not want to be reformed, but at least she gets to live in the Crystal Castle and be "friends" with a young but pretty powerful Princess. Maybe she could use that to her advantage! It would be nice to have a pretty Princess on her side...

Flurry Heart desperately wants to reform Cozy and become closer to her. But she gets the feeling that the pink Pegasus doesn't trust her, even though she's starting to get better. After all, it could all be an act. But Flurry, for some reason, feels she needs to befriend Cozy Glow, for personal reasons too. After all, the Pegasus is kind of cute...wait, who said anything about cute?!

Meanwhile, a dark force lurks in the shadows, waiting to attack. A strange pond glows in the Everfree Forest. And a deadly battle is closer than anypony thinks...

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.

This story is a sequel to Castling Cozy Glow

For one day, Cozy Glow was a Princess, and she has vowed to become one again as Twilight's personal student. It may take time and it may not be pleasant, but she is a headstrong filly who never gives up, no matter who or what comes in her way.

Having been born an alicorn, Flurry Heart is destined to become a Princess one day. Such a burden is heavy for a filly, and it is imperative that she learns to carry it. Fortunately, Twilight Sparkle has agreed to teach her and help her grow. With her unending kindness and bright optimism, Flurry is sure to succeed.

One filly who lost everything, and another who was born with everything. But even that's not all. There is a colt too, and whether he realizes it or not, his actions will have consequences.

Can Cozy Glow and Flurry Heart learn to become friends and help one another grow, or are there some gaps that not even the magic of friendship can bridge?

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...
