What are the most memorable takes of canon characters in fanworks?

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

Oh, fan fics, where we re we might explore interesting takes of our favorite worlds and such. Many of them use OCs for their stories and such. But what about canon characters? We know that many fics put canon characters in unlikely situations, but not all put them in said situations without resorting in making them OOC. So. Which are the most interesting takes on canon characters that are not OOC in fanworks? Mine would be: 

Note: please, if said fact involves a mayor spoiler, please, put them in a spoiler tag

-Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, no way our favorite nerdy princess would think of killing anyone, but Fallout EG made a good take if Twi was forced to take a life. we know the Fallout wastelands are no unicorns and rainbows, so, imagine the shock of Twi once she ended up in a  nuclear war torn human world once she started to get worried about Sunny not responding to the messages in the book. Once shenanigans ensues, she gets her share of fights with raiders and other douches. Her lack of experience is compensated with her gifted tactical mind, overwhelming enemies with it. However, she developed a severe PTSD for all the killing she had, having nightmares, fearing she might become evil, and facing her friends and mentor in Equestria, out of fear of being outcast. 

 

-Black Widow: There's another character in Fallout Equestria Girls, she's an assassin of unknown purposes. She killed human Braeburn for yet undisclosed reasons (making a personal enemy out of Applejack), and many more people, mostly raiders, also fell victim of her. Well equipped, skilled, and deadly. It is of great shock once, in a fight between  pony Twi, pony Sunny, Spikey Wikey and human AJ, it's discovered her identity:

 

 

 

-Eris: From Persona EG, in a similar veil as Black Widow above, she's a badass female with her identity hidden. Unlike BW above, she's openly antagonistic towards the protagonists. Not only possessing a powerful persona of the same name, but also incredibly skilled close combatant. She's the most unlikely person, EVER:

 

 

 

-Pinkie Pie: In the Friendship is Magic webcomic by Mauroz. Once she's transformed in a magical girl, she's the usual Pinks you'd expect, cheerful, fun loving, maybe a little flirty..... just the usual. But don't hurt her friends, or her idea of fun will turn into a sadistic enjoyment

Pretty generic but off the top of my head maybe Rainbow Dash in My Little Dashie? Rainbow dash didn't seem to deviate from her usual character despite being raised in an entirely different environment.

I got three cases in one fic where Zelda's Epona is the main character:

1- She's the missing mom of the Apples

2- Luna has a bat pony maid. Later, not only is revealed that she's the undercover commander of Luna's guard, but also, she's the mother of Fluttershy

3- For what was only a Zelda/MLP crossover, with some Kid Icarus being mentioned, now it's directly involves the main Characters of Kid Icarus Uprising, with the goddess Palutena being the mother of Celly and Luna 

4- With Kid Icarus on the fray, Ganondorf's horse was Hades in disguise, and Discord's brother
