Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
The following is an affectionate riff on [url= https://www.fimfiction.net/user/163197/Oroboro/stories]Oroboro's Sunset Shipping Project. Specifically the last story, For the Love of Sunset. Reading it first is recommended but not compulsory.
With regards to the chapter title, a rough translation is "Song of Sunset," a play on the Nibelungenlied, the epic poem Wagner adapted into Der Ring des Nibelungen, also known as the Ring Cycle. I swear this made sense in my head. And if anyone who actually speaks German wants to correct me on this, by all means, feel free.
Sunset found speaking with Ditzy to be fascinating in the same way as a conversation with Pinkie Pie: The other girl represented a unique perspective that, if taken in too large a dose, would make Sunset question everything she thought she knew.
Sunset rubbed her temples. Right now, she was pretty sure she was getting near the LD50 of Ditzy Doo. "So, let me make sure I have this straight."
"Okay," said Ditzy in their little corner of the study hall.
"You enter this world in the second floor girls' bathroom of CHS."
"Yup."
"You fly headfirst into your local analogue."
Ditzy nodded. "Good to know that I don't explode if I touch myself."
"Phrasing. The two of you manage to break a pipe with your impact."
"Not one of my finer moments, no," Ditzy said with a nervous chuckle.
"You stayed to try to help her."
"Well, I couldn't just wreck everything and leave myself to fix it, could I?"
Sunset smirked. "You inhabit a very interesting realm of grammar. Have I ever told you that?"
"A few times."
"Anyway, the flooding gets bad enough that the floor gives way."
"At least it wasn't under either of me."
"And Twilight's personal lab—which is something she has in that instance of CHS—was directly underneath the bathroom, and the water caused an explosion."
"A magical one at that. I could feel it trying to push me out of that universe."
"Twilight, the Rainbooms, and I were all in the lab at the time. And when we recovered..." Sunset trailed off. The very idea was too much for her to fathom.
Ditzy finished the thought for her. "Every one of them was convinced you were going out with her. And you had memories that agreed with each of them."
Sunset took a deep breath, then said, "I have to ask; given all the student bodies of all of the versions of Canterlot High, is there a single heterosexual girl among them?"
"Well, there's me."
"Oh. Okay then. Good to know."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I guess you could say that in any comedy group, Ditzy would ironically enough be the... straight man?
NAILED IT
I do actually speak German, and I can confirm that your grammar checks out.
If every cute girl was gay, we'd ALL be in a lot of trouble.
That last part of that sequence seemed to me to be a 'silly palate cleanser' to me and not to be taken as part of the main story.

Ironically, when it comes to comedy, Ditzy can swing both ways.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Yes, but it amused me to think about how yet other Sunsets might react to it.
Perhaps make it a link when you mention For the Love of Sunset?

I intentionally chose not to, given how it's the very last story in a seven-part series.
...
Oh. Fing Halloween name changes. I'll adjust the link such that it goes straight to Oroboro's stories, regardless of what he's calling himself at the moment.
That's a rule that actually pops up in the vid game, Shadow of Destiny/Memories
heheh, I got the story reference! And Sunset sempai is the best
I think a better translation of the title is Sunset Song. Close enough.

*high five*
(Looks at a recent Anon-A-Miss Fic and it's Sequel where Sunset and Derpy ended up together)
Not ANymore.

I am afraid to inform thee, but if thou art to be afforded the opportunity than you must know.
Your link’s dead mate.
Yes, quite. As a coffin nail.
