Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
The moment Sweetie Belle opened her bedroom door, she knew who to blame. She wasn't sure what she was looking at or how it had gotten there, but there was only one possible culprit.
"RARITY!"
"Honestly, Sweetie," came the response from behind her, "I'm across the hall, not across the country."
Sweetie stepped aside to offer a clear view of her violated sanctum. "What did you do to my room?"
Rarity furrowed her brow, looking back and forth between room and sister. "Cleaned it?"
"Not that, that!" Sweetie jabbed a finger at a gaudy pile of blue gemstones that would've fit in better in a dragon's lair. Three diamond-shaped ones vaguely formed Rarity's icon in the center.
Rarity arched an eyebrow. "These are bold words from a girl who's invaded my personal space more times than I can count."
"Yeah, but I never took up half the room with whatever that is."
That got a pout. "What, don't you like it?"
Sweetie rolled her eyes. "I told you, I don't know what it is. All I know is that it's taking up space where Button's Yule gift should be and you're obviously the one who made it. And shoved his in my closet." The portrait wasn't exactly the finest craftsmanship, but it was the thought that counted. And that it portrayed Sweetie as a bounty hunter who shot aliens and didn't afraid of anything.
"What gave me away?" Rarity fluttered her lashes. "The elegant lines? The refined aesthetics?"
"The forty pounds of costume jewelry."
"Costume? Puh-lease. I'll have you know I trekked to Equestria to get you the finest baby blue sapphires my equine counterpart and I could procure."
Sweetie frowned at that. "Wait, didn't Sunset say we're not supposed to bring in gems from Equestria?"
"Not to sell, no," Rarity said with a dismissive wave, "but I should think that making a gift for my dear, beloved, and woefully unappreciative sister is a worthy cause."
Sweetie shrugged and looked back at the lump. "So what is it?"
"Can't you tell?"
"How many times have I already asked that question?"
Rarity gave a long-suffering sigh, which might have had an impact on Sweetie if she hadn't heard it at least once a week for most of her life. "Honestly, some days I wonder how I even came about my artistic vision. Well, Rainbow Dash was telling us all about Scootaloo's little shrine to her, and well..."
She trailed off as Sweetie turned to face her, the expression on the younger girl's face enough to stop her cold. "Really?"
"I just thought—"
"Rarity, Scootaloo doesn't have to live with Rainbow Dash. She's definitely never had to share a bathroom with her. I am not worshiping you."
Rarity spouted off a number of shocked noises. "Well! Just for that I ought to cast you out or smite you or something."
A golden flash from the shrine made both turn to it. Sunset Shimmer brushed some dust off her shoulder and waved. "Hey. Sorry I didn't return your text earlier, degenerate matter forming in a nebula, long story." Sunset scowled. "Now, what was that about smuggling gems out of Equestria?"
Rarity paled as much as she could. "Er, well..."
Sunset blinked, glanced behind her, and quirked an eyebrow at Sweetie Belle. "Is this a shrine?"
"Rarity did it!"
"Sweetie!"
"You did."
"And that's how I ended up here for the weekend," Rarity concluded.
Princess Twilight Sparkle gave a slow nod, her wings fidgeting. Which, to be fair, made her one of the best composed ponies in the establishment. "I... see. I didn't know the Ponyville Hay Burger even had an employee uniform."
"It doesn't, beyond a hat," said Rarity, fighting back a twitch as she once more became aware of the synthetic fabric pressing against her shoulders. "Sunset improvised."
"That does explain all the sapphires."
Rarity nodded, making various parts of the rayon monstrosity clatter against one another. "Quite. So, that was two number nines, a number nine large..."

Damn, Sunset can be pretty brutal with her punishments.
All possible variations of the number 9 combo?
I wonder if anyone will attempt to use this against the local Rarity and the consequences if they do
wait, I just remembered, the oversaturated verse humans are pony enough not to be transformed. So the Ponville Hayburger is currently employing someone who looks to them like a cross between Rarity, a minotaur and something else
Man it takes a lot to get Sunset to smite you, but when she does...
"Like, literally see the future where I already explained it to you?
"Yes, but you'd still have to give the explanation or time would explode."
Rarity. Rarity. Rainbow Dash has behaved more humbly than you in this area. Let that sink in.

She's ordering this:
Something wrong with that...
Anyway, cool story.
Sunset is forcing Rarity to wear something with synthetic fibers. That's just cruel. I love it.
I'm reading this just after the infographics show on YouTube on a guy being challenge to eat nothing but blue food.

I imagine it's easier for Rarity to give the explanation than Sweetie to narrow her future vision to the exact point it would be given

It's a reference to the "Pretty Cool Guy" meme, originally about Halo but I like the Metroid version more because it results in an additional humorous error.

I blame wild magic again.
After a bunch of unimpressive and overly complicated chapters, I am now reminded of why I tracked this story. I think I might be back on board.

As every spirit of Harmony knows, if you kill them, you can't see them
sufferlearn. Far better to deliver a suitably ironic punishment that will build character. Not that Sunset still holds a grudge over taking a rainbow to the face. No, not at all...10019644
Which is why Twilight was one of the best composed ponies in the restaurant, yes. it wasn't how all of Ponyville was introduced to humans—Ditzy and H-Twilight have crossed over a few times—but it was definitely one of the more uncanny sights in recent memory.
Mind you, this is still Ponyville, so "recent memory" means "the last few weeks."

Reality wouldn't explode, but the paradox certainly wouldn't do it any favors. And Sweetie's head would certainly feel like it exploded.

Sigh. I'll call PAULDRONS...
Yikes.
But that doesn't make any sense she's expressed previously that she thinks even degenerates matter.
And here I was assuming Rarity was helping to kickstart her little sister's hoard.

Sadly, this Rarity doesn't have a Grandpa Merc. Though there's certainly some potential in a human Rarity who does. Hmm. Dragon-blooded sorceress or werewolf?

Big Smoke is living in Equestria.

I'd have to guess werewolf, given the realm. (And because Fang and Flame has been on my mind.)
I imagine that forced her to wear something hideously ugly is Sunset's way of slapping Rarity on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and shouting: "No! Bad!"

What is that a reference to?

One of Bugsydor's stories (and its sequel.)
