Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"Man. My life sucks."
"Do tell."
"Huh?" Zephyr looked up, only belatedly noticing the beautiful girl leaning against a wall. "Oh! Hey. Wow, I must be really out of it, to miss something as lovely as you."
"Oh, I know. The woes of reality can blind us all." The girl's face was sympathetic. "Why, just this morning, I found somebody had gathered all my things up into a single bag!"
"You got kicked out of your house?" Zephyr gasped. "That's terrible!"
"It would be, if I hadn't had the good fortune to run into somebody who could help me." The girl pouted. "You can... help me, right?"
Zephyr sighed. "I'd like too, but... look, I left my sister hanging, and after that my mom's been super lock-down. I can't even have my smart-phone, just a ten-year-old flipout." He kicked a rock. "It's... it's a long story."
"Well... so long as we're suffering, we can suffer together." The girl breezed off the wall. "And who knows? With magic, many possibilities open up to us."
"Heh, yeah." Zephyr adjusted his shirt casually. "A lot of new opportunities. It's... it's a shame I can't really take advantage of them."
"Because of your mother's restraints?"
"No..." He slumped. "Look. Lady, you really don't want to be with me. I'm... a failure. There, I said it. Everything I've tried, I... I dropped it after a while. I find a talent, and then I just... I just have no skill."
"You lack conviction. Purpose..." The girl slipped a sympathetic hand around his shoulder. "One of the quieter tragedies of this day and age."
"Yeah. I wish I could help you, but—"
"Perhaps," the girl mused, "we could help each other."
"What?"
"I know a spell, a spell to give you a stronger heart. A will to move mountains. If I were to cast it upon you, perhaps... perhaps you could grant me residence in your home?"
"I... I dunno. I still live with my parents—"
"I need very little space. Surely there is a place that is used only for storage?"
"Well..." Zephyr frowned. "I mean... there's the shed where dad keeps his leaf collection. He's got leaves from all over the world--but--"
"I promise," the girl purred, "he wouldn't even know I was there."
"We don't even know each other's names!"
"Hmm." The girl pursed her lips. "...Winter Lights. That is what you may call me."
"I'm Zephyr Breeze."
"And it is a pleasure to meet you." She spun around, looking into his eyes. "Now... do we have an agreement?"
"I..." Zephyr winced. "This won't... hurt, or do weird things to me, right?"
"Oh, trust me, you won't even notice anything besides your newfound confidence."
After a moment, he nodded and stuck out his hand. "Count me in."
"Our pact is sealed."

And we never see Zephyr Breeze ever again.
Wait a minute....are the FEY the human worlds versions of the breezies? Oh deer.
Hopefully they're a little less nasty then that. And if not hopefully Discord decides to go check up on why some people are skipping his classes.

Oh, no, people will see what they think is Zephyr Breeze...
Zeph, has no-one ever told you the old proverb about the consequences of a deal with the devil? Let alone the old one about 'too good to be true usually is'?

I suspect it may be best to think of the Breezes as the Fae of Equestria. They certainly have the whole pony-pixie thing going for them.
The thing about the Fae is there are many varieties. While I am hesitant to call any of them strictly "good", many are at least mostly benign, while others are as malevolent as they come. That said, they tend to share certain traits, including their rules on pacts and bonds. It is almost always the case that a Fae will, upon making a pact, follow the letter of the agreement. The nice ones will even follow it's spirit.
If the Breezes have clearly defined rules on the pacts and bonds they form, it's likely the Fae will share those same rules.
The big thing to take from all this, however, is that the Breezes may quite literally be the nicest form of Fae you ever can encounter. For Fae in general, look to the old fairy tales and take their true message to heart: FING STAY AWAY FROM THE GOD-DAMNED FAIRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gah! You're killing me, Weaver! You and those faerie of yours!
Also, spooky.
you won't notice?
