An HiE / Anon x Adult Cozy Glow Slice of Life. No Foalcon. Story takes place some time after the Trio of Villains had been trapped in S9 / the damage had been repaired, with a from-the-future Cozy Glow. Tia and Luna still rule, Twilight and her friends run the School of Friendship.

Professor Arnold Y. Moruse, Villains History and Philosophy Teacher at the School of Friendship, Advocate and Sponsor of the V.R.P (Villains Rehabilitation Program), loving Husband to an Adult Cozy Glow. An equally adoring Father to their two daughters and their son, Ruby Glow (Left), Luminous Glow (Middle), and Alexander Glow (Right). Having lived in Equestria for quite a few years now, the late-30's Arnold has spent most of that time brushing up on not only Equestrian History, but that of it's neighbors -- and primarily, their Villains. He finds them a fascinating topic, and runs a class at the School of Friendship discussing their impact, personal histories, rehabilitation, and general philosophies behind percieved Villainy and its causes.

Originally, shortly following the rebuilding of Canterlot after the three Villains, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow were locked away in stone, Starlight Glimmer became worried; they'd never trapped multiple creatures in the same Statue before, and history has proven the spell doesn't always hold. Wanting to be proactive in maintaining their emprisonment and with Twilight's blessing, Starlight used a Time Spell to leap forward several years, intent on simply checking on the statue's state and returning. Instead, she found that only Chrysalis and Tirek remained trapped -- and was ambushed by a freed, vengeful, older Cozy Glow. In a panic, Starlight quickly recast the spell, but accidentally brought the futures' Cozy Glow back with her, who promptly escaped.

It took some time, but the Elements managed to track her down -- only to find out she wasn't just laying low at Arnold Y. Moruse's house, but had been... 'Rehabilitated', the two in a committed relationship, and with Cozy now the mother of his children. With the situation being more than a little awkward, the Elements were forced to leave her be, though they keep a careful eye on their Completely Normal Family.

Cozy Glow now works in local politics as Mayor Mares Receptionist, her 'Schemes' on the backburner or relegated to more 'legal' approaches like lobbying or petitioning for change while they raise their children -- who attend the School Of Friendship, after the Ponyville Schoolhouse closed down in the merger, now the main body of Education in the town.

Of which Cozy isn't allowed in 100 Hooves of, legally. A bit of a sore spot, and it makes Parent-Teacher conferences interesting.
