Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Sunset Shimmer manifested in the backyard, self-sculpted from the golden light of noon. She groaned the moment her body could. “I hope you appreciate how disturbing it is for me when you pray to me.”
Celestia stared down at her with unimpeachable dignity, as demonstrated by how her expression was enough to make Sunset’s mouth go dry even while wearing a big, floppy sunhat and dirt-stained overalls. “I hope you appreciate how disturbing it is when I stop and think about how not only is one of my students in charge of the entire universe, my pony analogue is an immortal sun goddess and philosopher-queen of the most prosperous nation in her world. To say nothing of my trying to coordinate a bunch of teenagers into a vigilante crime-fighting force.”
Sunset looked away and rubbed the back of her neck. “Yeah, when you put it like that, it does kind of make my mommy issues pale in comparison.”
“Mommy issues?”
“Princess Celestia and I have… complicated history together. Incidentally, thanks for not being in a bikini this time around.”
Celestia smirked. “I do what I can. Now, as for the issue…” She gestured towards the backyard’s greenhouse with a hand trowel. “Like I said, I have a lot on my mind these days, and I decompress when I can. Like with my garden. Except that that’s experiencing some new issues.”
“Understandable,” Sunset said, turning to consider the greenhouse herself. “Earth pony magic most often expresses itself by affecting plant life. We don’t see it as often in this world, but there are plenty of cases.”
“Good to know I’m not alone. Honestly, I don’t think I’d mind as much if they could just be a bit more creative in their song selections.”
Sunset nodded for a few moments more before blinking and turning back to Celestia. “Wait, what?”
Equal confusion crossed Celestia’s face. “What did you think I was talking about?”
“I don’t know, soil depletion due to accelerated growth rates or something? What are you talking about?”
Celestia quirked an eyebrow and walked to the greenhouse. She opened the door, letting out a honey-rich voice crooning, “I got sunshi~ine on a cloudy day.”
“Doo doodoo, doo doodoo.”
Celestia shut the door and rolled her eyes. “Before this, it was ‘Here Comes the Sun.’ Before that, it was an a capella arrangement of the theme song from It’s Always Sunny in Fillydelphia. I get it. I’m sun-themed.” Her hair, shining with captured solar energy, lashed about in her agitation.
“Eh heh. Well, you know plants. They love the sun.”
This got a flat look. “I’ve noticed. How do I shut them up?”
“I’m… going to have to get back to you on that one. Earth magic wasn’t exactly the focus of my studies even in Equestria. Until then…” Sunset gave a sheepish grin. “Noise-cancelling headphones?”
Given their behavior in canon, it seems like a small leap. And Sunset might want to hurry on that research. Just because she hasn't heard of any other botanichoirs doesn't mean they aren't out there.
And it could be worse. At least none of them envy Celestia's gross incandescence. Yet.

Loved it!
So many silly thoughts abound:
That should be it. Love this precipitation-verse
feed me celestia
Something wrong with that sentence. Loved the vignette, though.
...Yeah, I like Dark Souls too much to not type this.
PRAISE THE SUN! (Celestia and/or Sunset Shimmer at discretion)

~I'm walking on sunshiiiiine~
By contrast, Night Shadow possessed alien plants might arrive during a total eclipse of the sun ...
... I jest. I blame Ramsey Campbell's Ghroth for that.
Could be worse. The grapevines could be offering their fruits for two scoops of Praisin Bran.
At least Celestia was smart enough not to let one of her students take care of her garden in this AU. Unless she did and this is the aftermath. As for who should help her, I nominate either Equestrian Granny Smith or Zecora.
... Is it wrong of me to think this will lead to the ultimate Grimm Defense Garden?
And the plants merge into a suit of armor and declare themselves Solaire, Gaurdian of the Sun.
Sometimes i wonder if FoME or Masterweaver deserves the title of "Oversaturated Demiurge"
Nice. Sunbutt + Bacon Hair = fun times for all.
I can't recall if this was explained elsewhere, but if Celestia's an Earth aspect, why does her hair do the thing with the sunlight?
Just be glad that the plants haven't got to the 'keep watering us or we pull off your limbs' part.
We are such
Pretty flowers;
We can sing like
This for hours;
Aren't we unbearably cute?
Watch me solo on this flute!
