Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.

The strange creature before It was puzzling.
Scans registered the specimen as mammalian in nature, corroborated by many of its physical features. However, said scans could not however explain the decidedly non-mammalian feathers growing along the cervical vertebrae, or the antigravitational capabilities demonstrated during pre-abduction observation.
Nor was this the only suite of abnormalities this race possessed. Several other "aspects" had been abducted and studied, none of which It could comprehend any more than this one. The supposed cause of these mutations puzzled It most of all. Based on the data thus far, this species both did and did not possess the Blessing; though the energy they manipulated appeared to have similar effects, any attempt to analyze it produced results not possible under the laws of physics as Its kind understood them.
With a look of near-resignation on its mouthless face and a glimmer of frustration in its large, bug-like eyes, it plucked a single orange hair from the specimen's head and set it into the ship's scanner for another round of tests.
The computer emitted a loud series of insectoid clicks and screeches that, if translated to the specimen's language, would mean, "DNA analysis 42 of test subject 'Windy Whistles', in progress."
It left the computer to its business and walked toward the stairwell leading to the launch bay. It would need to launch more abduction probes, collect more samples, and devise much more invasive tests if It was to solve the mystery of these "humans'" abilities. Still, even with Its many failures, some part of It remained confident that the task was possible.

Ditzy didn't usually loom over Kikai. The Munarin had been through more than enough; she didn't need the locals flaunting their greater size over her. But today was special. Ditzy dropped the newspaper in front of the felinoid alien, crossed her arms, and said, "Explain."
Kikai, who had been napping on Ditzy's bed until that point, wiped at her eyes with a paw, then looked at the paper. "I am terribly sorry that the subway workers' union is still in a standoff with management."
"The other article."
"'Mysterious Disappearances Continue.' Kikai bolted to her feet. "Do you think it's the Vaucoi?"
"It doesn't sound like them. People are just gone. Totally without a trace, physical or magical. No one's bothered Sunset about it yet, but... Well, call it a hunch, but I think there's something else out there. And I figured you might know them."
Kikai sighed. "Miss Doo, I'm flattered by your confidence, but I am not a copy of the Encyclopedia Galactica. Even if I were, I'd be horribly out of date. Besides, why would any self-respecting species travel halfway across the galaxy just to abduct a few of the..." She trailed off, eyes wide. "Oh no."
"What?"
"They are the... how to translate the term? Astrals? Quintessentials?"
Ditzy quirked an eyebrow. "You copied my knowledge of Wranglish. How can you not know?"
Kikai paced about the bed. "Because your language is a hair-splitting kleptomaniac with commitment issues. The point is that I do know of one species that might qualify. And if I'm right, we may want to contact Miss Shimmer sooner rather than later."
Basically, Jenna wanted to explore the possibility of an XCOM crossover.

I'm seeing XCOM everywhere these days. Not that I'm complaining.
poor aliens...
In all fairness, who wouldn't want to kidnap Rainbow's mom and probe her?

didnt you already write that one?

I'm waiting for the fic where XCOM invasion occurs at the same time a few other alien invasions are occurring. We're talking some massive multilayered crossover event, where humans are strangely left sorta-alone just because of all the sudden space traffic pileup! Something like... XCOM/Independence Day/War of the Worlds/Mass Effect/Transformers/along with Ponies for the hell of it!
8405581
And they're all fighting over Sunset Shimmer's friggin' backyard!
I approve of this notion.
8405489
Wasn't me...
8405607
so World of Darkness with more aliens and less monsters and god isn't a maybe broken machine
8405457
Blame War of the Chosen. It's awesome
Ethereals. Well, this time humankind has magic and a goddess that's willing to kick ass. And also a Discord. Something tells me it's going to be a rather quick invasion after all
I think I found a new favourite way to describe English.

But in this world, the Transformers are humans! Soundwave is Vinyl's dad and he works at Cybertron Polytechnical school.
Quintessons?
katai.....is she an anthro kat girl? if so me likey
......nya!!

True, which is why I'd like to see a whole different fanfic of the crazy invasion notion. Let's just hope the XCOM aliens of this universe do not stumble accidentally into Shockwave's sight. There would be some, logical experimentation. Dun DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUN!
The Etherials? Oh, joy. Just when Sunset's life couldn't get any 'better'.

And here I would be happy with just XCOM and EDF, mostly because of the mental image of a sectopod getting stepped on by walking fortress balam.
This is the best description of English ever.
I... can't really refute this. English can be frustratingly malleable and rigid as a diamond at the same time sometimes.
I've heard it called a thief many times, but the rest is a new addition. Heh.
8405581
If I make this, you are why. It has been noted.
And there will be Zim, of course.
she is not wrong about the language.
