This is one of the finest examples of a "What if" story you'll find on this site. Likeable OCs, action, adeventure, emotion. One of the best stories I've ever read.
I want to try and test the rules a little bit. I want to nominate the Sympathy Trilogy by Ckat_Myla. The story of Twilight and Discord's relationship throughout these three stories is one of the finest ones on this site. Thumbs up if you agree.
Discord’s lack of empathy and a pony's sensibility has been tolerated by Celestia, but while both the princesses and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony struggle with even more dire problems, Discord is forced into a lesson of his own.
Twilight might be required to take on the Spirit of Chaos - in all that that entails - to fully ensure that Discord's place remains with the friends he has made, and with her.
Equestria’s newest baron has just discovered that his new barony is entirely underwater, his new castle is a broken-down old riverboat, and his new subjects are… seaponies. Welcome to the Barony of Fen.
Scansion wakes up to find beautiful poems he doesn't remember writing. Is the lonely goddess of the night reaching out to him in the only way she can, or is he chasing shadows?
In a steampunk reimagining of the universe, Twilight Sparkle finds perhaps the one pony as lonely as she is. It's rather unfortunate that they're on the moon.
Principal Celestia always has wings in her dreams. So when a magical clash in front of her school sets her phantom wings to itching, her life turns upside down. And she hasn't even heard about Equestria yet.
Wow. You guys are going to have the hardest job in the world. There're already posts of several of my favourite fics up. I do, however, have a few to add.
In the decaying metropolis of Detrot, 60 years and one war after Luna's return, Detective Hard Boiled and friends must solve the mystery behind a unicorn's death in a film noir-inspired tale of ponies, hard cider, conspiracy, and murder.
Technically not finished yet, but it might well be before the deadline, since it's wrapping up soon. Hard to say.
If by most epic you mean has lots of words then this would be in the running straight away. It's a dark, dark fic but by golly it's well written. The characters are so solid you could cut the air with them. If you like Philip Marlowe and you like HG Wells this is the ultimate in Noir MLP.

As far as the worst squad member in the short history of the Crystal Guard is concerned, every new day is the one when he'll finally be fired. Because the only thing Flash Sentry truly knows about his life is that it shouldn't have brought him here.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Rarity are tasked with establishing ties between Equestria and the strange people of Perytonia. Understanding and connecting with your own friends may yet be the bigger challenge. Updates every Tuesday and Saturday!
Mendacity is undoubtedly Dromicosuchus' better known work. But if you like the esoteric and supernatural side of Equestria depicted in Mendacity, you will love this story for its much more epic adventure set in the same universe.
You've found an "interesting" book recently. You don't know what it is, or why it was hidden in the back of Twilight's library, but you feel so compelled to read it. And keep reading it. And keep reading it...
It's perhaps arguable whether this actually counts as a fic. It certainly is a story, but it's not the kind of story you can print in a book. But reading in this more... interactive form, it's definitely one of the most memorable pieces of fiction I've ever read in or out of the pony fandom.
