Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Weeks before Sunset would have a reason to research Oubliettes & Ogres sourcebooks, she got a phone call while at home. "Hey, AJ. What's up?"
"Ah don't wanna worry ya none, Sunset, but we may have a problem." Applejack tried to sound casual, but the underlying tension in her voice was clear.
Sunset got off her couch. "A magical one?" She grabbed her jacket off of the worn arm of the sofa.
"There any other kind these days?" Sunset could hear Applejack's smirk before the other girl got back to business. "See, jus' now, there was this big song an' dance number across the street. An' Ah mean an actual song an' dance number. Flips an' spins an' backup dancers, th' whole nine yards. Part o' me wanted t' join in."
The tension melted out of Sunset. She plopped back down. "Oh, is that all? Heartsongs are a well-documented aspect of harmony magic. You even participated in one a while back."
"Ah did?"
"Remember that flash mob thing you did in the school cafeteria to get everyone to support Princess Twilight? After..." Sunset sighed as her head dipped down. "After my smear video?"
"Yer a long way from that girl, Sunset." Applejack's tone turned thoughtful. "Still, never thought much about that. Shoot, how long've people been doin' that kinda thing?"
"I can't say for certain, but it's a perfectly natural part of magic as I understand it."
"Includin' songs about gettin' out mustard stains?"
Sunset blinked. "Huh?"
"Ah'm across th' street from a laundromat. This still normal?" Applejack's voice took on an uneasy edge. "If mah whole life's been an opera, Ah wanna know about it."
"Oh. I see. That is a bit much." After a little contemplation, Sunset said, "It's probably the world recalibrating itself as it adjusts to higher magic levels."
Applejack still sounded nervous. "We ain't singin' right now, are we?"
Sunset smiled. "No, Applejack, we're not singing. I'll try to tell you if we are."
"Alrighty then."

Wait a bit... if they're singing at the laundromat, it's a soap opera, isn't it?

I suppose so, but this was meant as a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference. That pun was entirely your creation. (Or possibly Joss Whedon's.)
Welp, time to get the versebreakers.
I wonder how many times they're going to be walking down the road and: "Dum-de-dum-dee-dee...NO, DAMNIT!"
7085825 Hmm. A crossover event could be fun...
Loving the BtVS reference.
7085296 Either that, or nobody's singing at all and Applejack's got an aneurysm that's about to pop and drop her.
Welcome to Saaaaacreeeeeeed Heeeeeeeaaaaaaaart!
Heh. I've always wanted to hear a heartsong about something utterly mundane and pointless, and getting mustard out of laundry sounds like it's just up my alley.
Understandable really.
7719130 Then go watch the musical episode of Buffy... though, to be honest, that's kind of the OPPOSITE of a 'heartsong'. And it's where the "mustard out" bit comes from...
You, uh, got that backwards. Ogres and Oubliettes.

In my defense, that was the order in the comics. And it better parallels Dungeons & Dragons.
