Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
(Firemind)
"Thirty hours! A little over a day!" Shining Armor grumbled, followed by a deep sigh of frustration that echoed through the nearly empty police station. "The world changed yesterday, and some ding-dongs use their newfound powers tonight to break the law right here in Canterlot!"
"And it took three hours in Manehattan!" Sergeant Coppertop was right as always; she'd always had a way of putting things into perspective. He'd be hard-pressed to think of a better partner. "And besides, you know those two are frequent flyers for underage drinking offenses. What did you expect Hoops and Dumbbell would do once they figured out they could literally fly?"
Shining gave a grudging nod. "And like you said, it's not like they're the only ones who're being... creative about it."
At that point, a rather familiar woman in her early forties entered the station, and—after a preliminary metal detector scan—made her way over to Shining Armor's desk. "Please have a seat Mrs. Press, I'm sure you're itching to know what your son and nephew got up to this time."
Mrs. Press, an athletic pegasus aspect, sat down at one of the two empty chairs in front of the desk. "The usual?" she asked, a weary expression playing across her tawny features.
"Yeah, with a twist. They flew up to the library's roof, split a case of Mulewalkee's Best, and were singing Freebird off-key by the time I found them." Shining gave her a moment to process that before he went on. "They freely admitted to all of this, and they both blew .11 on the breathalyzer, so there's not much chance of them getting off on this one."
"So same thing as last time?" Mrs. Press groaned deeply.
"Not quite," said Coppertop. "The bail's the same, but there's an added charge of indecent exposure. Your boys are gonna be lucky to avoid a stint in juvie." At the other woman's surprised reaction, the sergeant continued, "When we were searching for them after hearing their singing, one of them, we don't know which, shouted 'Look out below!' and peed off of the roof."

Sunset didn't hear about this until a few days later, when the universe had stabilized enough that she could risk splitting her focus with a human-scale avatar. By that point, Hoops and Dumbbell's latest arrest was old news to Rainbow Dash, and it was actually Twilight who brought it up.
"It's perhaps the least flattering demonstration of human ingenuity I could ever imagine," Twilight said long into the catch-up session/interrogation at the Boutique.
Sunset shrugged. "Well, if nothing else, it's proof that I didn't 'mind whammy' the population as badly as you guys thought. Otherwise I'd have had them do something more intelligent."
"I'm pretty sure you'd have to zombify those two to pull that off," said Dash. "No offense."
She froze under a gold-glowing stare like a desert at dawn. "I can literally reduce you to ash with a thought now," Sunset said far too casually. "Just saying."
Dash gulped. "Aren't you all, you know, 'peace, love, and harmony'-y now?"
"There's a limit."
Rarity cleared her throat. "Moving off of the topic of disintegrations, deserved or otherwise, did you mean for something like this to happen?"
"Depends," said Sunset. "Magical crimes? No. Leaving people the freedom to commit them? Sure. Free will includes the freedom to make mistakes. I'm already cleaning up the mess I made of the cosmos. I'm not going to be everyone's nanny on top of that."
Twilight gave her a lopsided grin. "You do realize people are already talking about religiously venerating you."
Sunset waved that off. "Please. Worshiping some random girl just because she's holding the universe together? Like that would ever happen."

Hey Sunny, have you met Murphy yet?
Mmmm! That's a good addition!
Poor, poor Sunset. She has no idea what's destined to happen
EDIT: Who do you think, at this statement, sneezed? Sweetie Belle or Ruby Rose?
Oh poor ShimSham

Milo Murphy? Didnt think that was same universe mate
10154358
She has, his name is John Q Discord, and he is giggling madly ALL THE TIME.
So....who told her "You realize that you've just guaranteed that, don't you?"

With how this universe operates, he could be. But what aspect would he be? Unicorn is tempting to say, since it could be random spells from him causing everything to collapse / catch on fire / etc. Maybe make Zack an earth aspect (because Lumberzacks), and Melissa a pegasus aspect just to round out the trio.
Yeeaaaahhh, about that

Not to mention Ruby Rose and friends.
I’m personally waiting for Shining Armor to become the Commissioner Gordon to Luna’s Batmare.

Nah earth aspect all the way for Milo. If for no other reason than Milo himself only uses hammer space and preparedness to get out of problems (i.e. pinkie style). Melissa as a Pegasus makes loads of sense. Zach could be the unicorn of the group but id say you dont always have to go equal tribes route. As it stands he could be Zebra aspected. Song and Rhyme are aspects of zebrican philosophy I'd imagine.

Actually John Q Discord isnt bad luck. Thats actually a misconception about chaos that all Discords impart to cover what they really are as chaos beings. Discord is all about change, whether positive or negative. Murphy is all about the negative changes and the results outcome therein.
The reason the Discord is so reviled on the pony side of the portal is that while ponies tout about being harmonistic, there actually all about order which is something completely different. Thats also the reason that the human analog is not antagonistic much about Sunset since so far the only order she is trying to impose helps bring about chaos, and that the changes to the universe are still propagating and that using his powers in any extreme way would implode the universe and stop life which in itself is change.
Loved your additions FoME! Early!Spirit Sunset is glorious, and Twilight's "least flattering demonstration of human ingenuity" description is funny and true at the same time.
Why would Rainbow add a “no offense?” She wasn’t saying anything mean to SUNSET. And why would Sunset get pissy about it?
Dash only insulted Dumbell and Hoops.

Accidental reference to the Fall Formal, and a running gag from Rainbow Rocks.
Oh, and of course dramatic irony is my favorite part of prequels.

Okay... But what about Dr. Doof, Phinaes, Ferb, and of course Candace. Since it has been affirmed that they exist in the same 'verse.

Candace and Phinaes: Pegasus aspect all the way, since Candace has eyes like a hawk to keep on her brothers and the attention span that rely on her wanting attention from others. Phinaes is pegasus aspected since he can see the underlying scope of the actions of the world and environment to help create his wonders much like how pegesia? in equestria deal with the aspects of making weather, and was basically able to do so even before.
Ferb on the other hand is a earth aspected engineer. I mean he is the one that actually plans out how to build Phinaes's ideas and his ability would get even sharper for that as a earth aspected person since tech is their thing.
Doof could theoretically go either way as a unicorn or earth pony aspect. On one hand he is great with machinery to make his inators. On the other we see that overall unicorns and unicorn aspected folk have minds that understand fundamental force but have ALOT of mental instability that can stem from such forces depending on strength (Twilight/Starlight/Starswirl). I personally lean towards Unicorn aspected or maybe some other tech oriented aspect since he is a Immigrant and that could effect the outcome as well.
Twilight had been videoing that meeting for the record (she always did when magical threats were being discussed). She played that last clip whenever Sunset (weakly) protested that she couldn't possibly be held responsible for the ever more bizarre stunts that the Shimmerists were pulling, especially the Church of the Divine Bacon Horse .
