Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
The orderly rows of the Apple orchard looked neat, were an efficient layout, and tended to make people zone out while doing chores. So by the time Applejack noticed the strange new tree in this row, she'd raked almost right up to it.
She walked around, examining it from all sides. There was a sense of wrongness about it; perhaps Applejack's earth-aspect magic was warning her that this wasn't an ordinary apple tree. Or perhaps it was just the maroon bark, grey leaves, and disjointed variety of fruit growing on it (two pears, three bananas, zero apples, and a potato) that was giving that impression.
Applejack leaned on her rake, tilting her head, her hand on her chin. Eventually, the potato opened its eyes. "Are you enjoying yourself?" came a clipped Fillydelphian accent from somewhere in the tree's branches.
"Hi there, Mr. Discord. Should I ask what exactly yer doin' here?"
"Oh, just getting in touch with my arboreal side. It's the latest thing, or so I presume. Fluttershy's spent some time as a tree, one of Sunset's projections is a tree... I assure you, all the cool kids are in on this new craze. I simply had to see what all the fuss was about."
"That's nice and all. Could you maybe be a tree somewhere else, though? Yer messin' up the row, and I think the actual trees ain't comfortable around you."
"Oh, must I? I really thought this was a good spot. If there's any cosmic enlightenment to be gleaned from this new meditative technique, I'll have a better chance of gleaning it if people stop interrupting me every nine minutes."
"Hey now, I only interrupted you once—"
"Yes, sorry, you've been very polite." Mr. Discord's leaves rustled. "Unlike some people I could mention. The way my nieces reacted, you'd think we didn't have people around who can rebuild the NAHTI with a snap of their fingers."

Not A Human Testing Installation, first mentioned in Oversaturation.
What's this about a tree aspect of Sunset?

The Tree of Harmony exists as a religious symbol in the human world. Discord was likely referring to that. I'm fairly certain Sunset has never assumed an arboreal form.
I don't tell you everything I do.
No, I tell you everything you do. Besides, why would you turn into a tree, especially after what happened to Fluttershy?
I have my reasons.
Now you're just being contrary.
No I'm not.
You know, knowing Mr. Discord is their uncle really adds something to that time when Celestia (correctly) asserted his non-adulthood.

If the tree represents Harmony, and sunset is an avatar of Harmony for her universe, then...
Sunset doesn't have a tree aspect. The tree has a Sunset aspect!!!
...but not a Sunset aspic. That would just be weird.
I think this may be the first time I've seen a reference to John de Lancie's Philadelphia background in a fanfic. Cool beans.

You say that like you don't understand that you're using the Internet, there are much weirder stuff than that around
