Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
There were a lot of reasons Sunset didn't shapeshift often, but mainly it just made her feel self-conscious. She had complete control over her body, and every time she made a small cosmetic change she’d notice something or wonder if it looked better the way it was before. The first time she’d asked Twilight for advice the poor girl had just panicked, but they’d gotten much more comfortable with each other since then and Twi had agreed to help Sunset with her Nightmare Night costume.
Sunset shifted her muscles a little looser and pulled her hips in, going for a more gymnastic build. “What do you think of the arms?”
Twilight nodded thoughtfully. “Good. You’re going for a dancer's build. And stop worrying about your body, you look great.”
“Easy for you to say,” Sunset said. “You get a shirt.”
Twilight giggled a little nervously and tugged her Space Trek: Inheritors captain's uniform down, trying to straighten non-existent wrinkles. “I really think you look great, but if you’re worried you could wear Cheddar robes instead?”
“Not authentic enough.” Sunset reached up felt her brain-tails, her cold hands feeling decidedly odd pressed against the rougher skin. “If I was going to do this the easy way we wouldn’t have invented an alien.”
Sunset turned back to the mirror, admiring the work she’d put in. Turning her skin a darker red hadn't been a challenge, and neither had removing the hair on her body though it left her feeling oddly numb. The real work was all under the skin, as she and Twilight had set out to re-create the Twi’lek race from The Force Wars. Sunset had created several smaller stomachs to hold food over longer periods of time and modified her olfactory senses to match an alien that lived off mushrooms on a desert planet. Her sense of smell wasn't stronger, but everything was so different. Like looking at the world in a mirror, or listening to a song with some of the notes removed or reversed. She couldn’t wait to try eating.
She was really proud of making her brain-tails, or lekku work. Twi'leks were supposed to be incredibly graceful, and the lekku were supposed to have some kind of connection to their sense of balance, so she'd shortened hers and reworked how her body perceived gravity. Rather than maintaining balance with an inner ear, her lekku tracked gravity and momentum of everything around her in a roughly four-foot bubble.
It was invigorating, and it didn't help her calm down. As she paced, she could feel the subtle way the floor bent under her, and was beginning to learn how to step on creaky boards without making noise. Experimentally, she sat a book upright on the bed and knelt beside it. “How far away are the girls?”
“Uh…” Twilight paused as Sunset successfully slid to the other side without knocking the book over. She stacked more books and slid back towards Twilight. “I don’t know. I remember that Applejack was bailing out some researchers in… somewhere from… something. What are you doing?”
“Just playing with my new powers, sorry.” Sunset sat in the office chair, but found she couldn't sit still. She conjured a rubber ball and closed her eyes, bouncing it off the wall and catching it with just her new senses. It was easier than she'd thought it'd be; while the ball bounced out of range fairly quickly, she had more than enough time to catch it and instantly knew where it was in relation to herself. The chair rocked up and down as she moved. “Are you feeling okay? Should I be worried about AJ?”
Twilight swallowed. “Uh, no. Earth Core is… a little gung-ho from what I remember, but they're competent. Rarity’s with her, she’ll call if things get bad.”
“Good.” Sunset briefly let her awareness widen as she checked on AJ. The whole area she was in had the odd magical static that followed the Kaiju attacks and interfered with her powers, but AJ and Rarity were fine. They weren’t even using their own magic yet. She missed the ball as it careened past her head, but caught it behind her before it could knock anything over. The chair began to turn, and she pulled her feet in and enjoyed the feeling. “I hope they can learn more about where these monsters are coming from,” She said as leaned back to keep the spin going. “Do you have any theories?”
“Um,” Twilight said again. “No, I've been busy with your body. I mean! Your. Um, assets, nope, I mean, uh...”
"Huh?" Sunset opened her eyes, and looked at Twilight. The other girl was blushing and kept trying to look away from Sunset but failing. It took her a moment that her pose; arched back, legs curled, chest... up, was more than a little suggestive. "Sorry!" She exclaimed as she summoned a cloak. "Sorry, I wasn't thinking I swear!"
“No, you’re fine!” Twilight said. “I enjoy— I mean, it wasn’t… uhm, you’re fine.” She finally managed to look away and locked her eyes onto the floor. “You’re fine,” she said again more quietly.
Sunset frowned. She tugged her robes more firmly around herself and scooted the chair next to Twilight. “Are you?”
“No, I’m fine! I just…” Twilight glanced at Sunset’s eyes and looked away again. “I don’t want you to think I’m a pervert or something.”
“I’m wearing a leather bra and no underwear,” Sunset said, perhaps not helpfully. “Look, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what you’re thinking. If you want me to wear more, then I’ll go like this, okay?”
Twilight smiled. She leaned over and gave Sunset a quick peck on the cheek. “You’re a good girlfriend.”
“Thanks.”
“And-you-can-lose-the-cloak-if-that’s-okay," she blurted out as one word.
Sunset smirked and the cloak dissolved. "You are literally the cutest person I've ever met," she said as she kissed her on the forehead.
The Cheddar Order of laser-sword-wielding space monks is a direct homage to Darths & Droids.

I'm at least 60% sure I inspired this chapter.
So if the Jedi are called The Cheddar Order in this worlds version of Star Wars, are the Sith also changed to be named after a cheese? The Pepper jack Order, maybe? And the original Je'Dai Order that the two split from could be the Mozzarella Order.
I am now envisioning a Star Wars AU where all force sensitive orders and beings are themed after cheese.
Also, all this is making me want a grilled cheese... Or maybe a pizza. Or nachos. Anything with some good high quality cheese, really.
Inhumanoids reference?
For a moment, I was worried that some form of Twi’lek Sparkle was waiting in the wings.
Sunset must have so much fun playing around with the exotic biology and keeping the innate magic to ‘normal’ levels. Design constraints produce unique results.
Of course, once word of this gets out, she WILL have people begging to be turned into Twilek. And other things. New business for the Wholesome I suppose.
It says something about the fandom that I didn’t even NOTICE Cheddar Monks.

Yeah, I'd like to use them more. Applejack doesn't actually have very much to do.

Facehoof, still that was a good one
It occurs to me that, while her girlfriend dressed as in leather as someone from a nerd show is a turn on, Twilight is going to spend the whole night observing alien behavior in a body she helped design and then study the data with her girlfriend who may still be wearing said leather, and I think that'll check a few more boxes for her.
Ah a Picard reference commonly known as the Picard maneuver

No question about it. SEXY science!
This is beautiful.
And with this I have finally caught up on my watch list.
FINALLY.

You misspelled "restrictions breed creativity". Because it's FoME and he would have used that if he'd thought of it.

So close
Any good (and most bad) Twi'leks would tell you that, if your SO is not looking at your body as if they're hypnotised, you're doing something wrong!
I really thought she was going to be doing habbittrapped, what with god-tier already being a thing there. I was imagining her deliberately choosing to be a lower tier because, well, you know.

I like Pepper Jack for the Sith, but now I think the Jedi should be Colby, so the Je'Dai can be Colby Jack.
Also, what grilled cheese sandwiches are you thinking of that actually have good high-quality cheese?
