Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.

"BOOP!"
Derpy stared ahead at Pinkie's retreating form in confusion, her hand briefly drifting to her nose where the party girl had poked her. "Wha?"
(Masterweaver)
"She's trying too hard. She is already a reflection, but she knows there is another reflection that isn't, so she must become. And yet she does not understand the other... not in entirety."
Ditzy gave Winter Lights a flat look.
"I speak only truth!"
"Yes, but you're so cryptic and tend to use the truth to deceive, so people don't put stock in what you say. Especially not after what you did."
Winter glowered at her. "Your loyalty is untenable. You are as I was. You know what I know, if only some. The urge to leave is constant."
"I have too much here to try."
"For now...." Winter Lights allowed.
Ditzy frowned at her. "...you're planning something."
"I am always planning something--"
"You're planning something significant."
Winter hissed. "Your constant suspicion.... aggravates me."
"You have done nothing to earn my trust."
"...you were not even affected by my actions. You have no quarrel with me."
"Nor do I quarrel with a tiger. That does not mean I don't watch when one walks down a road."
"Hmm." Winter glanced away. "This is not relevant. I explained the actions of the pink one. I did not need to."
"No. And I do not need to award you for common decency." Ditzy clicked her hands together. "You have much to learn."
I can only assume this will make sense in time.

Ditzy, the Fae, and Pinkie (in order from least nonsensical to most) are involved, I'm fairly sure sense has left the building... I mean other than the whole "never trust a fairy" thing
Wise are the Fae, with knowledge vast and incomprehensible.
Foalish are those who trust the Fae, for they are cryptic and deceive with the truth for their own amusement.
7819323 You can trust them to tell the truth, keep the letter of any deal, to be polite and to keep the sacred laws of hospitality.
7819351
Yes, but their truths breed deceit, they shed the spirit of agreements, and they take offence at the most minor of transgressions.
The common, and most important, lesson of all pre-kiddification fairy tales was this: KEEP THE HELL AWAY FROM THE DAMN FAIRIES!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice action here.
I just got this!
John D. Q. Discord! One of many and many is one.
Yeah! You tell that *****, Ditzy!
Projecting much there, Winter?
Stop trying to drag Ditzy down to your level.
Ditzy is your superior in the arts and crafts, and her wisdom is born from investments that you have never risked, little Winter.

A good question; if he's human then he has access to knowledge and abilities no other human seems to possess; knowledge enough to even deny death it's prize.
FWIW, in this universe, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be an Alicorn Aspect.
It would surprise me even less if 'Ounce Pin' turns out to be one of many pseudonyms used by an old, mad, silly but basically decent wizard along with 'The Cowardly Hero', 'The Lonely God', 'The Oncoming Storm' and 'Starswirl the Bearded'. Few of course, are privileged to know him by the name he chose to truly describe himself, who he wanted to be and what was his greatest aspiration for himself:
The Doctor.
7820243
I can confirm that Starswirl is not a Time Lord in this setting. I'm 95% certain that Gallopfrey is not one of the lost alien civilizations either. (Goodness knows we have enough crossovers as it is.)
7820390 Oh, I know. But don't you wanna see his 'verse take on the versebreakers? I figure the more we expose him to it, the better our chances.
7820531
I like the idea, but I feel this one's going to need so much further context that it may be more trouble than it's worth.
(On the other hand, I could get Ghost into this AU. Hmm...)
7820573 Exaaacttlllyyyy
7820852 I was thinking more like this scary butler
7819386 NOT entirely true! Their are plenty of old stories where a clever, good hearted lad or lass with good manners has come out no worse or even better off for having had a run in with the good neighbors only for a greedy friend or sibling to try their luck and come to a bad end. Like the Russian story of a girl who was left to freeze to death but ended up getting a bunch of jewels and such because she admired the beauty of the cold winter night as well as being nice to Grandfather Frost, her greedy sisters were frozen to death by the same being as they were to busy day dreaming out loud about what they expected to get and what they'd do with it.
Mistake no 1 is to call them by name, refer to them as the kindly folk, the fair folk, the good neighbors or the gentry.
7822666
...So the one with good manners and who's encounter was by chance came out well, but the ones who sought the Fae out suffered the consequences. Sounds like a good reason to not seek out the Fae, and, if given a choice, to stay the hell away from them and the places they frequent.
7820394 Silly Foamy. Don't you know, there is never enough crossover?
7822738 Not always there are any number of quest stories like the brothers Grimm tale The Golden Bird or Hans Christian Andersen's the Snow Queen (on which Disney's Frozen is loosely based) where the protagonist seeks out a Fae like being that lives in a magical land and come out better for it via a combination of cleverness, luck and being a good person. I'm quite sure that in one such story a young Russian lad pretends to be a deaf mute to get hospitality from Baba Yaga and when the evil hag acts violates sacred hospitality he breaks her spells overs a few magical talking animals an gets away with stealing from her. Also there are stories of men taking Selkies or Huldra (a type of Troll whose females look like very attractive women with cow tails) as wives and the worst that happens is that the Selkie woman finds her hidden seal skin and abandons her human family. Lastly you have the reason for sacred hospitality, any beggar or old person you meet could be a witch or Fae or a god, Odin was especially fond of this and if you were good he'd give you gold jewelry but if you were bad he'd feed you to his pet wolves.

... So we have cases where one is driven to seek out a Fae to deal with a problem (at great peril), cases where a Fae chooses to interact in secret (and is no more dangerous then a normal human so long as their secret is safe), and cases of beings similar to the Fae operating under similar rules... The first shows how dangerous the Fae can be, but instructs how to escape them if needed. The second has little to do with seeking out the Fae, but demonstrates their capacity for deception. The third has nothing to do with the Fae, but does reinforce the lessons of good manners.
I'm not saying the Fae are evil per say. Many can show kindness if they so choose. However, they generally have a poor view of mere mortals, and think nothing of causing harm or death to such short lived creatures. It is better by far to avoid the Fae then to seek them out.
… And here I was thinking Winter was not fae — the last time she showed up, being Winter Schnee was a possibility.
7853587
No, that's a different Winter. If Winter met Winter, they would CERTAINLY get on each other's nerves. And depending on when they met, wreck a few courtyards.
7853610
Nose Boops and "Reflections" made me think of El Goonish Shive Nose Boops and their purpose in giving souls to those with less souls than they should have, as a 'reflection' is usually lesser in some way.
...
To leave the universe, perhaps, if so, why would Ditzy want to do that? Or its like Discord and his reaction to the Saturation, where it's not mentally wanted but they feel fear and want to flee... Which still makes me wonder "Why"...
7853610
Well, I figured that out right quick. Funny image you came up with, though.
Now that is a nice piece of advice.
