Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
As the baby dragon rushed past her to his own tiny throne, the pinkish purple unicorn looked about the room and swallowed as the door swung shut behind her.
"I know there's no excuse for what I did, but I want you all to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair."
The purple alicorn in one of the thrones smiled sympathetically. "I've been thinking a lot about how badly Equestria fared without just one group of friends. Because even when one friendship dies, the results can be disastrous."
"I know first-hoof how true that can be..." The unicorn kicked at the floor, eyes downcast.
"And that's why I've asked you here. If you're willing to learn, I'm willing to teach you what I know. You'll have the power to—"
There was a rapid pounding on the door. "Hey! Princess Twilight! Are you in there?!"
The alicorn blinked. "Excuse me a second." She stood and walked over, opening it. "Oh! Hello, Twilight—"
"Sunset says this world underwent temporal fragmentation recently so she sent me to check and make sure that everything's okay—"
"Oh, don't worry, that situation's been dealt with. Mostly. As a matter of fact, we're in the middle of wrapping it up right now."
"Really? You don't mind if I sit in, do you?"
Twilight hemmed. "Well, most of the magical and technical matters have been handled, and what's left is... kind of..." She rolled a hoof, trying to find a good word. "It's... it's a princess thing."
"Politics?" The voice on the other side of the door sighed. "Well.... can you give me your notes on the whole thing? I can head to the library and look over them, see if there's anything we should be worried about."
"Ah, well, I mean, I can see why you'd be interested, but—"
"You did take notes, right?"
"Like you said. Politics. Classified. I don't... It's really complicated and I really am in the middle of something important. I'll have to look through the files to see what I can tell you--"
"Alright, alright. Just... look, as soon as you're done with that, we really need to talk. Sunset's worried about the seven other worlds."
"The— What?"
"The other worlds. The ones that sprung up when your timeline fragmented. She's not sure, but it's possible they all connect to the portal on Earth—"
"OOOOOOOOOOKAY! That is important. Good to know. Look, go wait in the library, and I super promise I will explain everything when I'm done here. Okay? Okay." Twilight shut the door quickly, turning back to the assembled ponies. "So! As I was saying—"
"Was that some sort of mutant minotaur?" Starlight asked. "Did you have some mutant minotaur baby?"
"AS. I. WAS. SAYING." Twilight cleared her throat, schooling her expression into a polite smile. "Starlight Glimmer, I'd like for you to become my student and learn the magic of friendship."
"What was that she said about other worlds? Do all those other timelines still exist?!"
"Magic of friendship!" Twilight shouted. "So you don't have to be alone anymore! What do you say?"
"Sweet Celestia, what have I done?!"
Twilight sighed, dragging a hoof down her face. "Okay, Starlight? Breathe. This isn't nearly as bad as the time I almost destroyed the universe."
Oh, that's why the Map wanted Twilight and Twilight at Twilight's castle.
Also, I have an answer to how the splintered timelines and mirror portal interact. You can read it here.

So, either the alternate timelines do exist, or they don't. And doesn't this already give a "Yes, they do?" ... Unless the timelines are doomed and will collapse at some point or something...
Mutant Minotaur question is satisfied by reveal of humans and portal...
Umm... What questions does she pose that we don't have answers to?
*nods vigorously*
Laughing so hard right now at everything about this one.
I think the pony-timelines diverged just after Sunset Shimmer left Equestria. We can be certain she made at least one return trip; whether the one we saw was her only such trip is almost beside the point, because whatever the timing, her first revisit could have been to any of the divergent timelines. So whatever differing information these now-parallel Sunsets got, they carried it back and created seven new human-timelines.
One detail in the feel of this idea is that the human timelines might persist even if the pony timelines were snipped off. And I do suggest they were snipped off, because while Alicorn!Twilight, Spike, the table, and the spell scroll somehow have ontological inertia, the green paint from the changeling timeline washes off in the timestream.
7667006 But that's the point. They THINK it's him. But it isn't. Thus that was the last time we saw the real true him.

Oh yes. Fairies are terrifying, and modern media is at fault for its general trend of presenting them otherwise. My comment was intended more in the vain of "Wow, human world got the short end of the stick on their fey as opposed to what we've seen of the Breezies in Equiatria."
Or alternatively, and maybe even more freighting, Equestira has non-Breezie fey of the more .... intimidating variety.
The first time, I read "how the splintered timelines and mirror pool interact." Now there's a scary thought.

Nope. Nope. Just nope. I do not want to even think about that.

"Duty!" "Duty!" "Duty!" "Duty!" "Duty!"
"On the bright side, we could have gotten something way worse than a dozen 'General Pinkamena'."
"I don't feel so good..."
"Ohmygosh girls, did you see that war me? I mean, sure, it's a horrible injury that marks a traumatic loss and near destruction of my lifelong dream, but... Metal! Wing! So awesome!"

In the story ''Sunny, Moonie & Twily'' there is also a S.A.S.S. And it means excactly the same. It's a group of ponies who are in love with Twilight but Twilight is too innocent too recognize that pony's have a crush on her.

... look up Changelings some time, and I don't mean the ones from MLP.
Starlight, seriously, you're involved with the affairs of the Mane Six now. It wouldn't even be a Thursday if you hadn't been involved in an counter-temporal causative paradox of some kind!

"Shudders"
Those things man. Those things. MLP has it light when it comes to "channelings".
Better call Derpy then.
By the way, add another one to the list of chapters that have the potential to become their own story.

Indeed. That said, the Changelings of folklore were Fae. I'm not saying Chrysalis and her brood are Fae, but there is no reason to doubt Fae besides the Breezes being in Equestria.
Of course, with a population that can all use magic to some degree and the experience to do so effectively, most Fae would be no greater a threat to the Equestrians then most of the other local hazards. Doubly so if those with higher levels of education are commonplace in most towns and would have been taught to recognize and deal with hostile Fae. Since Ponyville has at least two graduates of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns living there (Twilight and Lyra,) and to be perfectly fair is likely the definition of an out of the way rural hamlet, it's quite likely that virtually every community in Equestria has someone that knows how to identify and effectively cope with Fae.
Naturally, the newness of magic and lack of recent experience with the Fae means the Oversaturated World is not as prepared for the Fae. Cue problems... now.
Hey, at least she feels bad about it. That means she can work to help solve the issue.
Oooooooh I want to see where this is going something fierce.
Twilight sighed, dragging a hoof down her face. "Okay, Starlight? Breathe. This isn't nearly as bad as the time I almost destroyed the universe."
...........no Twilight no, Starlight done far far FFFFFAAARRRRR worst as she created seven other universes where everything went to heck.
7668168 My thoughts exactly, call Ditsy Doo and her Planeswalker pony counter part to deal with the problem

It's a comic that has the premise the majority of mankind doesn't sleep anymore, instead taking these pills called Z-Sups. This has, somehow, caused the fears, doubts, and joys of mankind that would normally get released into the dreaming realm to build up as psychic pressure that occasionally erupts through into the real world as grotesque monstrosities. The government explains these away as Holographic Advertising accidents.
It's really quite good, but its update pace can be abysmal.
I am immediately reminded of this conversation thread, and highly intrigued to see where this will go.
Reunite all the bacon-horses!
...Although, what would have happened, if any of those other Sunset Shimmers, at any point in the past, had gone through the mirror also? Where would they be now? And could they still get back to their Equestria?
Actually, what would happen if somepony from the other timelines stumbles through the mirror into the Oversaturated-verse... meets somepony from a different timeline... and they both go back through the mirror at the same time?
The bad news is that one of those timelines is probably similar to Fallout. The good news is that Sunset is now aware of it and taking steps.
I still need to have the SERIOUS TV-Y Fo:E Challenge.
Well I have no ground to whine at you!

Yeaaah, kind of fell victim to circumstance and procrastination there. I've updated the ETA to Soon™. I can guarantee it'll happen before Half-Life 3.
I think Rainbow Dash can sum up that reaction for me :
That being said...shit. You have seven portals to world with beings that could potentially screw everything up, including two with a still villainous Discord and Super form Tirek.
Ah yes, those times Starlight created worlds full of war, torment, rebellion, economic oppression, murder, and ultimately - an empty, barren world with no light in the sky.
Those didn't stop being a thing!
Reset the other timelines as they are fucked over, I mean tirek literally turned one into a wasteland
As enrico pucci says "Made In Heaven!" *resets universe*
