Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Focused as she was on the game, Ditzy didn't notice the orange hand on her shoulder until it rudely yanked her two feet into the sixth dimension. Hocus Pocus cards scattered everywhere, including outside of Euclopean space. The other two players just sat stunned.
As soon as she got her bearings, Ditzy whirled angrily onto the alicorn girl. "What's the idea? If you wanted to talk, you could have just asked!"
Sunset examined her intensely, from every angle including some that weren't conventionally perceptible. "Ditzy, have you felt particularly giant-monsterish lately?"
"Or at least given me a second's warning... Giant-monsterish? Really?"
"Have you recently had too many tentacles and not enough heads?"
"Uh, no."
"Consumed the substrate of reality to fuel your powers?"
"Not particularly."
"Noticed the laws of physics ceasing to apply to you?"
"No more than usual."
Sunset glared. "What do you mean, usual?"
"I can fly."
"Doesn't count."
"I can fly in seven dimensions."
"Anything else?"
"I was baking yesterday, and the muffins burned in less than five minutes. That's definitely against the laws of physics."
A worried expression flickered across Sunset's face. Branches of the Tree, she's actually considering it. "That was a joke, Sunset."
Sunset didn't laugh, and finished her examination in grim silence. "Everything seems fine. As far as I can tell, you're perfectly normal."
"I consider that an insult. So what'd you drag me away from lunchtime gaming for?"
"One of your alternates got in trouble. The sort of trouble that ends with annihilation of all sentient life and the digestion of reality. I don't have a good grasp of the resonance between different multiversal instances of the same person - destiny magic is impossible to study in a controlled environment - so I had to get you out of the world, just in case you'd gotten into a parallel situation. Our universe isn't stable enough to support that kind of power, your presence would have caused irreparable damage to the local area." Ditzy's mouth hung open in horror. "Oh, your alternate's fine, by the way."
"... when you say fine, is that technically fine or actually fine?"
"Actually fine."
Here's your context. Sunset may not privy to everything that happens in all possible Equestrias, but some events are hard to miss.
Also, Ditzy was able to recover the cards she'd dropped outside of conventional spacetime.

Ah, I was worried she might not get her cards back.
The Derpdrazi stories continue to proliferate! Or would that be populate?

She certainly wasn't going to let them go. There was a Kargan Dragonlord out there!
7360191
Emerge, of course.
7360215
Oh, you!
On closer examination, I need emerge spells for my Liliana, Heretical Healer deck.
Oh good, i did worry about the cards after all.

Wow, if I'd known people would be so sympathetic to the fate of Ditzy's cards, I'd have given them their own spin-off series.
7365470 There's still time.
It's weird how people who've played TCGs have this gut reaction to lost or damaged cards, even fictional ones.
7360215 Dragonlord, really? Yeah Sunset better make sure she gets that back.
7360116 ... You know, I actually had that worry too...
7360116, 7360646
Me too.

Not really. I've heard great warriors usually form a personal bond with their weapons. I know there are some cards I would miss if I lost them.
