Summary
It has been 20 years since the Mad King, Galbatorix, had been slain. Alagaesia was still healing, but it was definitely better than what it had been. This year marked the 10th year since the new dragons had started hatching after the defeat of Bachel and her cultists. This would also mark the fifth time that the Annual Games would be held at Mount Arngor.
New dragons and riders grace the land. What will Eragon do when two show up with connections to his past? Plus the games are coming up this year. Oh, this is going to be grate.

Never One Without The Other by DSBL
Fandoms: League of Legends, The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini

Summary
When the black king takes over Alagaesia, all hope is lost. Many years later, a mysterious armored dragon rider appears under the rule of the king. Will he be the one to be able to take down the king with the help of the Ionian Blade Dancer?
I really enjoy the storyline that takes place in Alagaesia, but I also really enjoy the lore that goes on in Runeterra, so I wanted to try my best to combine the two into an original story. Only the very beginning chapter(s) are inspired from other stories(mostly reversed life by Rainxoxo, check it out, amazing story). Formatting WILL look better here on AO3, so this would probably be the preferred place to read on.
College kid: don't expect consistency, posting this on FFN too (same names).
Let me know if you guys think of a better title for this story, I'm not completely set on this one so far.
Edit: I didn't really like the title "Secrets in the Shadows" so I've changed it, the new title feels more relevant to the actual story, as I want it to be more based upon the actual characters and not the main plot line of Alagaesia. -

Summary
Murtagh had looked for shared features with Eragon after he’d learned they shared parents, but hadn’t been able to find much. Their eyes were the same shape, if not the same color, and the angle of their jaws, but anything else seemed to be wishful thinking on Murtagh’s part. He had always wanted them to be more similar than they actually were. The lesson had been bitterly learned each time.
But now here they were: half-brothers, both Riders, and on the same side for once.
Murtagh and Thorn don't stay in Ilirea.
