Summary

Ο Δάσκαλος της Ξιφασκίας by dragonriderofold

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
Fandoms: Eragon (2006), The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
17 Jul 2025
Tags
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. -
The Beast-Shifter of Alagaesia by Stormwolf150
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
07 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Connor O'Riley knew his life was a strange one, he was a Chimera after all and has seen how strange the supernatural side of the world worked.
Yet, that still had not prepared him for waking up after a battle he surely died in... and being in a land that he knew for a fact used to be a fantasy series.
Join Connor as he makes his way through Alagaesia, with knowledge of all the stories in his head, and trying to reel in what he should do with said knowledge. Will he be this world's savior... or its next tyrant?
He'll have plenty of time to figure that out as he watches over Eragon and his dragon Saphira and changing the very course of the books as he knows it.

The Fencing Master by dragonriderofold
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
26 Jun 2025

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.

The dwarves were onto something by Flipside7
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
23 May 2025
Tags
Summary
What if the deity’s that the dwarves worship weren’t completely made up? Eragon and Murtagh cross paths with a woman not quite of earth. Her name is Kilf, and the stories of old aren’t quite right. Takes place in book one, multiple OC’s and pairings. Not strictly original storyline. Earlier chapters are going through editing for better readability.
On hold. -

Summary
AU where Garrow and Hrothgar meet… and they don’t agree on a single thing. They’re constantly at each other’s throats, and Eragon’s right at the center of it, juggling family, duty, politics, and camp life all while being the Varden’s heavily-hassled Dragon Rider. He doesn’t think he’ll be getting that nap any time soon.

Summary
Thirty some years have passed since Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Brightscales left Alagaesia with a cohort of elves, eldunari, dragon eggs, and his brother Murtagh with his dragon Thorn to rebuild the Riders from the ground up.
But when a suspiciously timed assasination attempt of both Queen Arya and Nasuada is foiled thanks to increasingly cryptic visions by Eragon and Murtagh . Their prescence is demanded back the snaking courts of Illiria and Ellesmera. Ugly age old plots rear their heads for the first time, zealous remnants of tyrants past plot the overthrow of the status quo. While the slow moving courts of the Elves picks up the speed of their schemes at a frightening pace. Two brothers for two courts. Slowly and inexorably, Eragon and Murtagh must uncover a plot older than the time of Galbatorixes reign as High King while navigating predatory lords, ancient foes, and a rapidly changing & dangerous political landscape.
