Summary
The target of the Blood-Oath’s magic isn’t who Eragon expected, but nor was it a surprise. However, that doesn’t mean he understands, and it certainly doesn’t mean he’s happy.
When everything we knew is flipped upside down, who will Eragon become?

Summary
Τι θα είχε συμβεί αν ο Μέρταγκ δεν είχε μεγαλώσει στην Ουρου'μπαίην κι αν είχε από νωρίς γνωρίσει τη Ναζουάντα; Αν ο Άτζιχαντ είχε επιζήσει κι αν ο Έραγκον δεν είχε βιαστεί να εκμυστηρευτεί τον έρωτά του στην Άρυα; Αν ο Γκαλμπατόριξ είχε πιο ενεργό ρόλο στην πλοκή της Κληρονομιάς απ' ότι στα βιβλία; Τόσα κι άλλα τόσα μυστήρια θα προσπαθήσω να απαντηθούν σ' αυτή την ιστορία.

Summary
When Eragon departed for lands unknown, he left a lot behind. His family, his friends, his home, and most of all, her. Arya. Friend, companion, shieldmate, and one who knew the depths of his soul. As his role and responsibilities at Mount Arngor grow, his heart aches for what he left beyond the horizon. But maybe, just maybe, those beyond the horizon long for him as well.
A post Inheritance story about love, longing, and friendship.

Enduring by TitanGuildRegalia

Summary
This sequel completely ignores anything after Inheritance, so names, places, characters will likely be different. I have not read either of the two new books and prefer to pretend like they don't exist. This will be slower to update.
Two decades is a long time to be gone from home. Things change, for better or for worse. Eragon has had twenty years to build/change relationships with his friends/allies/family. Letters/mirrors can't tell us everything about the people we love. What happens when he goes back home? Who will lift him up and who will bring him down?
If you want cold or spiteful Eragon, this is not a story for you.
If you think a man can have a past, but a woman can't, this may not be a story for you.
If you believe that someone can love more than one person in their lifetime, this may be a story for you.
If you believe that your greatest love doesn't have to be your first love, this may be a story for you.
If you believe people can change and forgive, this may be a story for you.
If you know that there is more than one way to have a healthy relationship, this may be a story for you.
Fäolin is mentioned briefly, if you can handle that, then this may be a story for you. -

Summary
What would have happened if Murtagh had not grown up in Urû’baen and had met Nasuada early on? If Ajihad had survived and if Eragon had not rushed to confess his love to Arya? If Galbatorix had taken a more active role in the Inheritance Cycle plot than in the books? These and many other mysteries I will try to answer in this story.

Summary
As the Battle of Urû'baen draws to a close, Galbatorix utters two words that tear the fabric of Eragon's life asunder:
"Be not."
While the Eldunarí are able to protect his companions, Eragon knows that their power won't be enough. Unwilling to see his brother and his dragon, his liege, his partner-of-mind-and-heart, and his—shieldmate? beloved?—dearest friend perish in the blast, he casts a spell guaranteeing their lives: but at the cost of his own. The un-making of Galbatorix is the un-making of himself, too, and Eragon is ready to make that sacrifice if it means bringing about an age of peace.
Though, when he wakes up in a familiar forest clearing, faced with a familiar blue stone, and with suspicious and frightening gaps in his memory, he cannot help but wonder what forces are at play…and what those forces would ask him to sacrifice now.
An end-of-Inheritance divergence that puts Eragon in something of a time loop, forcing choices upon him that both redefine and reinforce his very being. What will Eragon do now, knowing that all of his actions lead, have led, and will lead to the inevitable end of all he holds dear?

Summary
M for first chapter having non-explicit sex, T for second. Set in the MIC/Modern Inheritance Cycle series.
Fäolin loved her, and Arya loved him. Now Eragon loves her, and Arya loves Eragon.
There's always something...different, though. The different ways the two men saw the world and the way they saw her.
Fäolin wasn't wrong, and neither was she. But they weren't...they weren't always right, either, like neither of them quite saw the whole picture. Or maybe they did, and tried to forget. But Eragon? He saw it all, and never tried to hide. And he never wanted her to either.

Summary
Decades ago, Brom made a decision that would shape all of Alagaësia. He had a choice: to finally exact revenge on the one he had considered his brother, or to aid his newly-formed rebel group and give them a real chance of victory.
This is the story where Eragon flees into the Spine as soon as he realises the Ra'zac are after him. He never meets Brom, and so his magic grows uncontained. Wild. He has learned how to survive. Now, he must travel to the ends of his earth to understand what it truly means to thrive.
Brom had always thought he would be able to retire and live peacefully - if not in luxury - in the small village of Carvahall, but when a crimson egg appears on his doorstep, he knows exactly what he has to do. Perhaps he will even usurp that cursed prophecy that has hung over him for so very long.

Summary
It's another Eragon rewrite. I think you have all learned by now that though I thoroughly enjoy the individual characters, I'm not sold on Paolini's version of events. Eragon and Murtagh are raised in Morzan's castle, together, at least for a little while. Everything changes when Eragon is sent/taken away from the estate. He is an angry child, but when you're raised by a forsworn, there isn't much else you can expect.
This summary will be changed as the story goes on. As per usual, not following any sort of guideline and writing whatever comes out of my brain. I really should be focusing on Disparate Book II and Home, but this has been nagging at me and now I'm writing three stories and trying to keep them straight.
I fixed chapter three. Part of it got all jumbled when I was editing and I didn't realize. Sorry!
Eragon is ten at the start of the story and twenty when things really get going.
Eragon has poor mental health and develops severe PTSD. People with poor mental health make poor decisions and he makes a few of those. There aren't exactly any therapist running around. Things will be rough, but will get better. His mental health is a major factor in this story.

Summary
The war has ended. Eragon is more determined than ever to rebuild the order of the dragon riders and create a lasting peace for all of Alagaesia. However, when Murtagh chooses to stay in the Broddring Kingdom at Nasuada's side, their hard won peace is thrown into jeopardy. With such tumultuous forces at play, Eragon has no choice but to stay in Alagaesia to protect the world he bled to create. Meanwhile, Arya struggles with her past and hopes for her future. Her wants war with her duty and conflict comes from all sides–her mother, her people, and even Eragon.
(An AU where everyone sticks around in Alagaesia instead of peacing out. Also Islandzadi lives.)

(Sorry about the title, it was that or what the fic ended with and I am...not losing that much credibility via a title of all things. I'm so sorry.)
Set in the Modern Inheritance stories extended war. Eragon and Arya have a moment alone and have a bit of a conversation (while doing other things) about some of the preferences they've discovered during their burgeoning relationship. A somewhat amusing discovery is made.

Summary
Even though they've been Claimed Mates for over two months, Eragon keeps waking up to an empty cot, Arya fleeing into the night once he falls asleep. His frustration comes to a head when he catches her in the act and she still leaves despite his pleading. Angry and hurt, Eragon confronts his new mate in the morning.
Eragon and Arya have their first argument after becoming mates. Turns out being magic-using, sword-wielding, Shadeslaying war heroes doesn't stop young, quasi-immortal love from hitting the same stumbling blocks as any other relationship.
