Everypony in Ponyville is happy, carefree, and content with their life on the whole... except one. Rarity harbors a dark, murderous secret. She is Equestria's only active serial killer. She has to balance her fashion life, her friends, and her murderous urges as best as she can. This is the story of her mind.

Now with a TVTropes Page!!!

Over the course of a single day Lavender Breeze's life was destroyed. Regretting all the things she's lost, she longs for closure.

Then in her darkest moment, she comes face to face with the thing she hates the most, the thing she blames for everything that's happened.

It was dark.
So dark.
Why was it so dark?
And wet.
Very wet.
Why was it so wet?
It was cold.
Really cold.
Why was it so cold?
She didn't know.

POV of Pinkie Pie, in an Alternate Universe where she was sent back to the mirror pool by accident.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have a plan! They're going to stage a play and become huge stars in Manehatten! Well, if they can get their lines right. To practice for their big musical, they have to borrow a few things from Sweetie Belle's sister, Rarity, to get everything just right. When a prank during rehearsal inadvertently reveals a disturbing secret, will the three friends be able to find out who's lying before a sinister fate can befall them? Or will they be silenced before they can discover the truth?

After getting their cutiemarks, the Cutie Mark Crusaders realize that the symbols on their flanks means something. That they are bound together forever, and the markings will not let them separate for even a moment.

Only death will do them part they think. But even then, will it?

During spring, Applebloom is conspicuously reminded of the absence of her parents. While helping Applejack in the attic, she finds an old but very fancy ouija board. Sweetie Belle tells them all how to use it, and they try to contact the dead.

Applebloom's mother is not who they end up contacting.

While on her way home from a day with her friends, Apple Bloom runs into Twilight on a trip to Zecora's hut. After insisting to join her, little Apple Bloom gets lost in the woods after chasing a mysterious mare hiding amongst the poison joak. She stumbles upon a town completely isolated within the Ever Free Forest, but something about this town just doesn't feel right...

Following the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight begins some intensive research into the history of the Empire and its late king. Modern historians know next to nothing about the enigmatic dark mage. Who was he? Did he have family? Loved ones?

The answers to those questions changes everything the Element of Magic knows about herself, and in doing so catches the attention of a shadow that yet clings to the frailty of life...

There have been a LOT of high-quality readings of Silent Ponyville, but this one is my personal favorite:

My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.
