i disagree that cozy is truly rotten and irredeemable i believe she can be redeemed one day but good story anyway

I mean... How do you interpret the ending? It might have just been her first step in the direction of redemption, if you think about it!

11785309 I don't think about that sorry about that but good point thanks by the way I hope you have a good day

Thanks so much for writing this for me. First of all, I'm so impressed at the length of this story - how much time it must has taken you!

Onto the story itself:

  • I like how you included Luna - not only was it was a clever way for Flurry to interact with Cozy via dreams (and dreams are great for showing insight into a character's thoughts and personality) but she is my favorite Princess alongside Twilight, so I appreciated the addition of good Luna content!
  • Also when Luna wore the santa hat at the end, it was such a funny and wholesome mental image :rainbowlaugh:
  • You characterized Flurry Heart exactly how I pictured her - she's very dedicated and not willing to give up easily. Given what little of her we see in the show (you know, as she's a literal baby) there's the potential to take her character in any direction, and while I didn't specify this in my prompt I always envisioned her as the type of pony to not back down from a challenge, so I'm so glad to see this exact idea in your story!
  • I also liked how Cozy tricked Flurry with the cage - because of course she would do that, being the little rotten demon that she is. Of course she would take any opportunity to escape. I appreciated how that while Flurry wasn't successful this time, it didn't stop her from committing to seeing Cozy again. I liked how she wasn't instantly won over by Flurry.

She stared at it, looking over every stroke, every little erase spot from a mistake, every color used. She just... Stared.

This line! All in my feels! A small spark of hope for a possible redemption for Cozy :raritywink:

Thanks for taking the time to write this for me, and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed writing it as well! Happy Holidays to you :twilightsmile:

Shame... This story deserves more likes.

I appreciate that you have Flurry make a deliberate determined effort to reach Cozy Glow at considerable cost to her own convenience.

I appreciate that you show her character as having a reason for rejecting friendship even though we aren't told exactly what it is.

I appreciate that this doesn't overly exaggerate the character we saw in the show the way some fics do.:pinkiesad:

The dialogue was a bit simplistic but everything else, from character to scenery to plot, is done really well.:pinkiehappy:

In some cases I actually think the simplicity works better for the characters in the end, as you are telling a story about children, and they won't all be deep philosophical thinkers.

A truly wonderful read. I only wish it had gotten more appreciation.:ajsleepy:

11785309 i should let you know i'm making an anime and cozy glow's is in it and her real name is cozetta glasgow and if you want to know what made my cozy so evil think of shadow the hedgehog backstory but turned up to 11 so yeah cozetta loses her friends her mom and her clan making her as much as she knows the lost of her kind and if you want to know what her kind is descended from the Crystal Empire who interbred with pegasi and who started her on her road to Reformation i think it should be Cadence and her daughter
