Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"Is there some reason I'm here and not spending time with my time displaced daughter?" Seeing Ditzy Doo angry at someone was a pretty rare sight, all things considered. Her normally bubbly personality meant she tended to be easygoing, but interrupting some planned bonding time with Dinky was apparently enough to pop those bubbles.
Even if it was the local deity doing the interrupting.
"I'm sorry, Ditzy," Sunset Shimmer said, leading the way through the orchards of Sweet Apple Acres. "But, as strange as it might sound, I think you'll know more about what we're dealing with than anyone else I know."
Ditzy's eyes blinked just out of sync with each other. "...what do you mean?"
Sunset sighed, holding out one of her hands to the nearest tree. "I mean... this." Green energy started to flow off the apple tree, before gathering in Sunset's palm. Rather than just sitting there, the energy started to shift into a coherent shape: a glowing tree made of dark green energy surrounded by a green circle. "Look familiar?"
Ditzy could only stare as her eyes drifted out of alignment. "That... that..." She shook her head to clear it. "That's a mana symbol from Hocus Pocus: The Get-Together!"
"Yep." Sunset closed her hand and the energy burst apart, falling to the ground and causing the grass to grow all the way to her ankles. "It's started to gather here recently, and I was hoping you could help me find a way to disperse it. Sooner would be better than later, by the way."
"... Why do I get the feeling there's already a problem?"
"You'll know in about five seconds."
Right on cue, the a muffled boom sounded in the air, followed by another, then another, and another; Ditzy almost opened her mouth to protest when she realized Sunset was leading her toward those same booms, but Sunset held up her hand to halt any conversation as they rounded a hill.
"Howdy, Sunset, Ditzy, got any ideas on how to fix this yet?"
Ditzy staggered back as she looked up... way up... at Applejack. The earthen girl towered at over five stories tall; thankfully, she was clothed, but that just added to the strangeness of looking up at the fifty foot tall Apple. "I.. I..."
"We're working on it, AJ," Sunset said as she helped Ditzy back to her feet. "Just... hold on a bit longer."
Applejack shrugged. "As long as yer sure you can fix this, Ah ain't too worried. It's helpin' out with some chores, too, so Ah can't complain too much." She turned from her friends, can called out over the orchard. "Hey, Macintosh! You got those bushels in place?"
"Eeyup!" Macintosh's call was noticeably quieter than his sister's, but still audible.
"Alright, might wanna brace yerselves." AJ bent her knees slightly, and Ditzy could swear she actually heard her muscles bunching up, before launching herself skyward.
It was a bit surreal to see the massive figure of Applejack getting enough air on her jump to clear a good number of houses, but gravity did reassert itself eventually, and several tons of farm-girl slammed back to the ground. The impact knocked both Sunset and Ditzy off their feet, as well as nearly every apple off the trees of the orchard. As AJ pulled her boots out of the craters she had made, Ditzy and Sunset both looked at each other.
"So..." Sunset started. "I don't know how this works, but is those normal for this stuff?"
"Well, Green is known for making bigger and more powerful creatures; so, I suppose so." Ditzy put a hand to her chin in thought. "Maybe if we can find a source of Blue to counteract it..." Ditzy started muttering under her breath as she started to mentally toss around ideas to deal with the big apple girl.
Sunset just sighed, rubbing her temple. "I really hope this doesn't turn into a regular thing..."
I swear I had nothing to do with this. Pentachromatic manifestations (manafestations?) are rare events in the Oversaturated World. Most of them happen around Ravnica High.

You seem to have inspired this, therefore you had something to do with it.
... Told you.
Sunset, you know that it will turn into a thing only because some short-sighted but earnest and honest idiot decides that it can be a force for good or bad. This is shortly going to be something else about which you need to ask: "Are they starting wars over it?"
It's only now that I realize how many typos I had in this...
I really hope she's wearing jeans instead of a skirt. Because if she's wearing a skirt, she's become the kind of tourist attraction she doesn't want to be.
(Although, she COULD turn a tidy profit from exceptionally pervy spelunkers...)
(...yeah, I'll just see myself out...)
Ditzy should also look into white mana, cause if this has lasted more than 4 hours its likely a enchantment than instant or sorcery.
Of course that's one of the first effects. Wonder if they get any weird Fogs outta nowhere too?

... What typos? More importantly, are they fixed?
Nitpick: time(-)displaced
'this' this word iss just off sounding to use.
this story gets crazier and crazier as it goes on.

I really need to stop typing these things last minute and as the sun starts to rise.
8016675
I hope not. Then nothing would get done around the farm.
8016399 just make sure you remembered to pay AJ her entrance fee!

saintabsol, thanks for the canonicity-nod to masterweaver's "sailor orbital" fimfic.
8016655 And white mana is the colour of order and harmony, so that shouldn't be hard to find around Sunset.
Hmm, whatever effect caused it would probably have to be a cheap effect, two mana at most. It's exceptionally rare for even legendary mana sources to provide more than that at once, even with some drawback associated. And for this effect to just 'happen', it's more than likely a 'common' spell. All I can think of is Giant Growth, but I've been out of the game for a while, so maybe there are longer lasting, but weaker effects than that?

It's probably "Larger than Life" from Kaladesh.
It's a 2 drop green spell and fits in with standard.
So this is where the story of Giant Applejack fighting a giant weevil comes from.
