Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"...Something's different about you."
"Huh?" Zephyr looked up. "Oh hey sis! Yeah, that... whole thing with the tree, you know, it got me to rethinking my life. I mean, I just always assumed you'd be able to shrug off anything, but--"
"Not that." Fluttershy waved her hand. "Not just that. You're... more professionally dressed."
"Hmm? Oh." Zephyr adjusted his bowtie. "Yeah, I'm trying to reinvent myself. I have a job interview today, you know?"
"Really?"
"Yeah. I mean it's just the local bookstore, but I figure everyone has to start somewhere."
"Well... I'm glad." She peered at him. "Have you shaved your whiskers off?"
"Oh, you noticed!" The boy rubbed his chin. "Actually, I... well, you see, I've met this girl. I mean I don't know if we're actually dating, but she's nice, she's friendly--"
"Huh. Do I get to meet her?"
"I mean, maybe. She's busy a lot, apparently she's the secretary to some court or other."
Fluttershy frowned. "How old is she?"
"Well... huh. You know, I never asked?" Zephyr shrugged. "I know she was kicked out of her home, but she has a job and I helped her find a place to live, so... I'm guessing, like, early twenties?"
"And you're thinking about dating her."
"Not like that! I mean, I wouldn't mind it, but she's just a friend right now. We meet up during lunch."
"Mmmhmm." Fluttershy crossed her arms. "Well, I'm certainly not against intergenerational friendships, but you should be sure she's not trying to take advantage of you."
"Hey, Winter Lights is very..." Zephyr paused. "Well, okay, she might. But not sexually. She's more, goal oriented, you know? If it helped her, she might ask for a few bucks. Nothing wrong with that."
Fluttershy narrowed her eyes.
"Seriously. She's a good friend, nothing more!" Zephyr sighed. "No matter what I try."
"...Just keep working at getting yourself put together," Fluttershy suggested. "And... good luck with the interview."
"Thanks, sis. Oh!" Zephyr glanced at the clock. "It's in thirty minutes. Gotta go!" He gave her a brief hug before rushing out the door.
Fluttershy smiled faintly. "...I guess he's finally growing up. I don't know what I was worried abo—"
Her eyes fell on the foyer table.
"...oh my."
Zephyr had left his icon pin behind.

I'm wondering if Starlight knows just what a headache she's willingly taken on at this point?
Ok. This is officially Really Bad.
Oh, crap. I liked the poor bastard better with a man bun.
Goddamn Fae. I'm said it mulpiple times before: Get. *Boom* Off. *Boom* My. *Boom* World *Boom*.
It'll be interesting to see if what Zephyr Breeze gets is as bad as he deserves. Canonically, he's an uncaring, narcissistic, parasite who brings misery into every life he touches.
