Summary
Brom and Morzan become Dragon Riders under the guidance of Oromis and Glaedr. The rise of Galbatorix to the throne of Alagaësia. The young Arya as a human ambassador. Selena's acquaintance with Morzan and her role as the Black Hand. The birth of Murtagh and Nasuada. Ajihad is freed and seeks the Varden. Hefring steals Saphira's egg from the king. The love between Brom and Selena. The birth of Eragon. Angela and Solembum's prophecy. The story of Durza and the Ra’zac. Eragon meets his other half, Saphira.
I made an attempt to see our familiar heroes with fresh eyes. Lifting the curtain slightly—the one draped over them—I peeked behind it for a moment. And what I glimpsed truly left me breathless. What we knew about them was only the surface. Beneath lies a world of choices, regrets, and untold truths. Come, let’s live through these stories together for a while, reliving the heroes’ distant, glorious days. Let’s experience their moments of joy and sorrow, their anguish or wild passions. Let’s share in their thoughts, emotions, and hopes. Brom, Morzan, Oromis, Galbatorix, Selena, Ajihad, Eragon, Murtagh, Arya, and other heroes will come close to us for a time. -

Step out of Line by SirBananadragon
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
03 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Being a rider is not exactly how Galbatorix and Morzan had imagined it to be. One chafes with the limits, the other with the rules.
It was fate that they should meet eventually, although it was certainly supposed to happen under much darker circumstances. This time, they can help each other before it's too late.Friends are made (reluctantly), futures brighten, a dragon survives and history changes. At least in part. There is still a witch in the mountains.

Summary
Orrin never chose to be king and he never really wanted to be one.
Galbatorix chose to be king and never should have been one.Threats turn to conversations and as it turns out, they have more in common than it might seem.
Certainly enough to break a cage and pull a mind from the dark.Series

Eragon: Real World AU by apandask8r
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
16 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
This is the beginning of Eragon in a real world, democratic United States. (In this case formerly democratic - Galbatorix (President Drum in my AU) has taken over).
I wrote this for school in 8th grade. That was years ago and I do not remember a single thing about the Inheritance Cycle.
I am not Christopher Paolini.

Ο Δάσκαλος της Ξιφασκίας by dragonriderofold
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini

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
“Morzan bit his lip too hard. Blood flooded his mouth, and just for a moment he remembered the red painting the butcher's table, he remembered feeling like an animal for slaughter, he remembered wondering, would he throw out his fingertip, or would he sell It? Would he eat it?
He gagged, and his eyes rolled back into his skull, into a cold darkness.”Morzan and Galbatorix are the little thieves of town. But every action has its consequences, and they have to learn this the hard way.

Angel Eyes by Light_Mare for Tonhalszendvics

Summary
“Look into his angel eyes, One look and you're hypnotized, He'll take your heart and you must pay the price, You'll think you're in paradise, And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise...”
Isleen is Galbatorix' wife, but water breaks down even the strongest bridge, doesn't it? And the King is like an ocean.

A vampire who lost his coven. If he ever really had one.
A half-demon who only ever knew how to be an outcast.
And a half-vampire who will have to go through none of that. They will make sure of it.

"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."
The family we choose is infinitely more important than the family with which we are born... but what happens when you choose wrong? The events of the past century have left one woman pondering this very question.

More importantly, can she separate herself from the legacy that haunts her every step?

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.

Crown of Gladiolus by maireh for BuggyReader
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
14 Jun 2025

Summary
What if Brom had run sooner—farther?
If, instead of carving out a resistance in shadow and silence, he had fled with Selena and her child to the very edges of the Empire—beyond where the King's breath could reach, beyond even the memory of oaths and fire—what would they have become?A girl- born of Morzan’s blood but shaped by forest air and her mother’s hands. Would she have grown brave and sharp-edged like Selena, or would the old cruelty have shown in her gaze when no one was looking?
This is a story of the life that almost was—a life not traced in ash and vengeance, but in moss-lined paths and quiet defiance.
No blades, no Riders. Just a man who chose love over war, a woman who had already lost too much, and the child between them who might have rewritten everything.She might have learned to name wildflowers before weapons. To read the wind before the language of runes.
She might have laughed like a child should—soft, unburdened, unguarded.
She might have remained unseen.But peace is a thin veil.
And even in the deep woods, some hungers do not sleep.
The past does not stay buried. It watches. It waits.
And sometimes, it sends a name instead of a shadow. -
