Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"So... hey."
A feeling of greeting.
"...Just so we're clear, you... used to be, uh... a necklace?"
Clarification. Plurality.
"Right, three necklaces, I heard. Um. So... My name's Spike."
Understanding.
"...You have a name?"
Confusion... then, reluctantly, sorrowful negative.
"Oh. How about.... Stonesong? I know it's not that creative but--"
Eager acceptance.
"Oh. Stonesong it is. How have you been doing?"
Sorrow, but tinged with hope. Curious probing.
"Me? Oh, I'm... well, still kind of coming to grips with myself, to be honest. I mean, I wasn't stupid before, I could get feelings and basic concepts, but now I can count and... understand abstractions. You know?"
Amusement, teasing.
"Yeah, yeah, but... you heard about the dolphins right?"
Negativity.
"Well, the dolphins were apparently always intelligent or, you know, at least borderline. With the burst of magic, though, they're finally able to talk and they're... doing politics now. And..."
Gentle, concerned probing.
"...Look, I'm the only thinking dog. At least, I am for now. But if it was done once, it will be done again, and... it's not just uplifts. It's constructed minds, and, uh, things like you that... act, even when humans didn't notice."
Understanding.
"I... I just don't want things to change, you know? I like being a dog, being a pet, but if I... if I become a citizen, that's... I don't know."
Comfort. Reassurance.
"Heh... yeah...."
"Thanks for setting this up, Maud."
"I'm very passionate about nonhuman rights. And rocks."

Now I want to see an Eclipse Phase crossover of some sort.
7594479 someone did write a eclipse phase crossover awhile ago it's called eclipse phase dreamcatcher but it hasn't been updated since 2012.
Next up, The Handicapped.
A sentient pet rock? Why not?
Well okay then.
Cool stuff.
Sequel: A few weeks later, Spike decides to talk this over with Shining Armor (who's in something related to law enforcement, right?) And on his suggestion, Twilight files a formal adoption application...
This could quite possibly be addressed in on of the stories further along that I have yet to read, but have any other animals besides dolphins showed significant trends towards sophonce in the setting? There are certainly plenty of big brains in the animal world -- great apes and elephants are up there with dolphins in that regard, at least.

See Silicon Tiara for more information on nonhuman sophonts.
Huh... Boulder got an upgrade. And was apparently a part of three necklaces at one point?
I'm calling it now. Boulder was a part of something that had to do with Subtle Magic before Sunset broke and then jury-rigged a fix for the universe.

This is actually a reference to one of the prequel shorts for Overstauration.
