Summary
A criminal prodigy rising to power with a thirst for revenge
A Suli spy known as the Wraith
A Grisha Fabrikator living Barrel life as a sharpshooter
A Heartrender who uses magic to survive in the slums
A former Fjerdan Grisha hunter who has narrowly escaped death.
These are the people Eragon hires to win back a fourth Dragon egg, who no one had even realized was there. And in the bustling Kerch city of Ketterdam, trouble is brewing, and danger is around every corner. But sometimes, the monsters that lurk in the dark don’t get chased away for good. And sometimes, not every monster looks like a monster. The people of Alagaësia will learn that soon enough, and they are not prepared for the rising threat from Ketterdam.

Summary
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO READ A MURTAGH POV ABOUT HIS TIME IN CAPTIVITY? THIS IS IT.
(Essentially a detailed account of what happened to Murtagh from his capture under Farthen Dur until Galbatorix fell, framed by his new life at Mt. Argnor.)
Murtagh struggles to adjust to life as an instructor at Mt. Argnor, despite being surrounded by good people and doing fulfilling work.
When his erratic behavior and drinking problem get out of control, his dragon Thorn and his brother Eragon take him to see the Eldunari, who encourage him to face the horrors of his past in order to overcome his pain. With the help of Thorn and the Eldunari, he dives into the sea of memory and must wade through the hurt and torment to come out whole on the other side.
(It’s a long, dark tunnel, but canon-compliant so there is light at the end I promise!)

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. -

Where Paths Diverge by StoryDreamBeliever
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
29 Apr 2023

Summary
What if Eragon had captured Murtagh after the Battle of Dras Leona....
“Swear to me now, in the Ancient Language, that you will not use magic against me, or the Varden, or any of their allies, and that you will not attempt to escape us.”
Eragon hardened his expression, knowing that Murtagh had to believe him, or it wouldn’t work. Murtagh had to believe that Eragon was willing to kill his dragon, or he’d call his bluff.
And was it a bluff? Even Eragon wasn’t certain. Could he stand by and let Thorn die? He didn’t know, but he didn’t want to find out either.
“Either you swear,” Eragon panted, his voice dead and unfeeling, “Or we let Thorn die. And then perhaps I’ll be kind, and kill you as well.”
Murtagh thrashed again, a desperate cry emanating from his throat. He was wriggling like an animal in a trap, and tears joined the blood and dirt on his face. Eragon felt each heartbeat in his own chest, fear and pain twisting together.
"Eragon, hurry," Arya interjected in his thoughts, "Thorn is fading."...After destroying the gates at Dras Leona and wounding Thorn severely, Aren has enough energy left in it to pursue Murtagh and Thorn out into the plains and take them captive.

Summary
(This fic is accessible to people who don't know the fandoms.)
King Galbatorix laughed, eyes twinkling much like Dumbledore’s had. “Yes, Harry. Dragon riders. Come, let me show you this world.”
Something hungry inside him trembled. There’s a place for you here, the King had said.
Harry believed him.

This writer confuses me a bit. It feels sort of like listening to Luna Lovegood for too long. But I do love it a lot, even if I'm also a bit confused by the end. Or maybe I'm just hungry? Best I go drink some juice.

The one that Time forgot by SirBananadragon for Tonhalszendvics, Light_Mare

Summary
Just before Oromis can declare Galbatorix mad, Vrael steps in.
Galbatorix didn't think that getting the chance to see if another dragon might choose him, would have him end up alone on Vroengard. Almost alone that is. Eldunarya tend to be chatty.-

Summary
In which Eragon finds himself receiving a better chance to save the world, at the cost of his own magic kidnapping him and placing him in an other person who lived more than a century ago.
And so, as a young girl of ten winters, Eragon has travelled to Ilirea to follow the customs of these times. She did not expect an other Dragon to hatch for her, nor was she prepared to befriend a very young and curious Brom. Least of all did she expect an arrogant, nosy young Rider by the name Morzan to start meddling.
She just hoped Galbatorix would make his appearance soon, because she had a duty to fulfill. -

In Which Durza Babysits Murtagh by maleficstardustdragon
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
08 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
Durza didn’t know anything about children, but he had more common sense than anyone else around here. Having time to himself? In an almost empty castle? Yes, perhaps he indeed would check that Murtagh was still alive. He repeated himself, “How long has he been alone? When did you kill or dismiss everyone?”
Morzan sighed, further annoyed by the topic the longer it went on. “I don’t know. Five days? I think?”
He’s such an idiot. I can’t believe he just left him there. Durza made his exit.
Some peace and quiet in an empty castle would be well worth the annoying journey required to reach Morzan’s mountainous estate.

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
What would happen if Eragon were a good story? Not that it isn't entertaining already (for some reasons being more intentional than others), but it has quite a few structural problems to it. So, what if it were a really good story? Like, really, really good? What would happen if the story were revised by some random person on the internet in an attempt to give it the lifeblood of a reworked plot, a more consistent tone, more in-depth characterization, a less-Monomyth-reliant story structure, and a more smooth integration of the lore into the story?
Let us take a journey into a revised Alagaesia. Let us follow the steps of Eragon the Shadeslayer with a renewed moral compass and reconstructed character arc. Let us see villains now as compelling as the heroes who are fighting them. Let us fix Alagaesia together.
