Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
“No thanks, Ditzy,” said Twilight. “I don’t play Hocus Pocus: the Get-Together much these days, remember?”
“Oh. Right, I forgot about… that,” replied Ditzy, momentarily looking Very Wise Indeed before scooting down two spaces to sit across from Pinkie, who promptly pulled a deck out of her hair.
“Forgot about what?” asked Sunset after swallowing a mouthful of daisy sandwich. “Judging from the way Ditzy’s acting, I’m guessing there’s a story here?”
Twilight sighed. “You’ll find out sooner or later, specially if you keep poking around the bits of Hocus Pocus magic that are popping up these days. And it’s not really bad, just embarrassing.”
“Embarrassing?” asked Sunset.
“Ok, here’s the thing,” said Twilight. “A couple of years back, Warlocks on the Mount did what was basically a reboot of Hocus Pocus. Starting a new era, with each set connected into one overarching story. A story revolving around five planewalkers, one for each of the five colors. Short Fuse for red, Deep Thought for blue, Femme Fatale for black, Worldwaker for green, and for white…” she paused for a moment, “…Shining Armor.”
“What?” said Sunset in astonishment.
“Yep. Complete coincidence, as far as I can tell. But still, it’s kind of hard to enjoy the story when one of the main characters is named after your brother. Though to be fair, there are much worse characters that could be named after him."
There was a moment's pause, then Twilight said contemplatively, "Funny thing is, if it had started now, it probably wouldn't have affected me so much. When your girlfriend is God Not-Far-Short-Of-Almighty and a decent chunk of the planet worships you as a living saint, having one of the protagonist of a card game be named after your brother is small potatoes in comparison. It's amazing what you can get used to, given time. Maybe I'll dust off the cards."
"Maybe you can teach me," said Sunset. "If I'm to get a handle on these pentachromic leaks, it might help to understand this game. Plus it sounds like a lot of fun."
"In all fairness," said Ditzy, "Shining Armor the planeswalker was established years before that set, back in Rise of the Squirkazi."
"Yeah, but I hadn't started playing when that set came out."
"Fair enough."

Wasn't there a bit where Planeswalker Ditzy's interference led to this universe's Ditzy teaching Sunset Hocus Pocus? Or is that a slightly different canon to this?
Wait... did Twilight call Sunset her girlfriend?
Would Twilight consider it to be more or less flattering to her brother if she saw just how overpowered the new shining armor card has gotten (seriously, did you see the new Gideon)?

In this universe Twi and Sunny have been a thing for months.
You're getting jaded, Twilight Sparkle. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing!
8088127 That's how i remember it.

Different worldline. My crossover stories provided a decent chunk of material for the Oversaturated World, including the characterization of Ditzy and friends, but the two are distinct continuities.

"Ha! You just lost The Game."
"My brother's in the room, so no. No I didn't."
No, no, no. The white planeswalker is named Beefslab. Aren't you reading the fiction being written by the writers at Warlocks on the Mount?
This is actually a situation I am faced with in real life, since one of the expansion packs is called Shards of Alara. I like myself being whole and more or less fully put together, thanks.

I take it you prefer Alara Reborn, then?
(But yeah, thanks to you, I'm probably going to associate the sundered and reconstructed plane with quality Discord fiction for quite some time. I don't think anyone ever did explain what caused it to split in the first place...)
