Summary
What should have just been an outreach mission to help heal and treat citizens of a recently captured city goes wrong. Arya finds herself tossed into her own mind with little to no control over anything around her, watching confused and in pain as the world whips by. Outside her body, Eragon, Saphira, Glen, Blödhgarm and the other spellcaster guards work franticly to stabilize her, uniting as a family Eragon and Saphira had not quite realized had formed around them.
(More tags and characters to be added with updates. The first chapter only has Arya's POV, the rest will be Eragon and others.)
(Somewhat on hiatus. There is a chapter complete ready to go, but I want to be sure I have things for the next parts somewhat done before posting, and my brain has been moosh for months now. Thank you anyone still interested in this and other Modern Inheritance stories! Still working on it and stumbling, but I will return.)

Summary
It's taken time. War and growth and healing and maybe a bit of help from an elven biology lesson concerning brain chemistry and hormones making it undeniable even for the DENSEST of demisexual/demiromantic elves to realize they are in love with someone.
But it's official now. Eragon and Arya are mates. He loves her, and she loves him. For a little bit of time, they can pretend the world isn't burning and drink in that new normal.
And then the next morning comes around and it's very difficult to keep werecats in bags around here, hm?

Summary
Eragon and Murtagh have grown up together with their uncle Garrow and cousin Roran since childhood. One night, they discover two stones; one blue, one red. When out from the stones hatch a pair of dragons, the brothers are pulled into the dangerous life of rogue Dragon Riders as they are hunted by the evil King Galbatorix and his terrifying servants. Taken in by storyteller Brom, they travel for the Varden, the resistance force fighting the empire.
Eragon is barely 16, unprepared for the challenges ahead of them, and always getting into trouble. His dragon, Saphira, has her work cut out for her keeping him alive. But as their journey goes on, he finds his dreams plagued by a beautiful woman in terrible pain...a pain he must soon face himself.
Murtagh is only just a man, worried that his younger brother is not ready for a life of war, and unsuspecting of his own origins. He and his dragon Thorn have plenty of things to keep an eye out for as their situation worsens. Though Murtagh thinks he understands the world, one of Galbatorix's hunters could shake everything he thought he knew.
With the Varden just clinging on and their lives dangling by a thread, the brothers are in for the fight of their lives.
