Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"...and since the universe was damaged some time-swirls are bound to happen, but they're relatively minor. Only a month long duration spread over a week, at most. So yes, some things appear to happen out of order from a flat time perspective, but causality is preserved and timespace will stabilize barring any significant events. Getting caught up in a loop has no side effects other then internal queasiness and, in the case of particularly organized or temporarily sensitive individuals..."
Sunset gestured at Twilight, who was giggling as she rocked back and forth on the couch. "Yesterday was tomorrow, hee hee, and tomorrow's yesterday..."
"Ah." Night Light paused. "Well."
"Don't worry, she's a sciencey sort. I explained it to her, and she immediately calmed down, it just hasn't happened from her perspective yet. No, you can't explain things to her now, Paradox aversion."
"I see... well, thank you for explaining that," Night Light finally managed. "If you're sure it's nothing..."
"Believe me, this isn't nearly as bad as the PAULDRONS loop." Sunset rolled her eyes. "That was one chronologistical mess I'm going to have to sort out. At least Ditzy's helping."
I'd like to think we won't need any whirlpools in the timestream to sort out the local continuity, but they'll make for a convenient fallback.

Hedging your bets with the timey-wimey ball. That's a bold move, Cotton.
Subtle Hitchhiker's Guide reference is subtle.
I can just see Ford... "Yes! This planet is interesting! My work will be published...! Oh. I have to rewrite it now. Shit."
I did not expect that excuse from you Weaver. I'm kinda' disappointed.
I believe that Terry Pratchett was fond of his conditional time-lines in the Discworld novels. There was at least one occasion I remember where the timeline split into distinct continuities that re-merged giving all the characters a weird sense of having lived two lives in parallel.
The moment they start making horticultural blasphemies, I branching quit.

To be fair, they did that before the Saturation.
"Eddies," said Ford, "in the space-time continuum."
"Ah," nodded Arthur, "is he. Is he."
