A Pain That I'm Used To by Not_A_Conspiracy
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini

Summary
I was never satisfied with the story of how Selena fell in with Morzan in the books. So here's my take.
"There's a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience, repentance, oh no
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds of the soul"

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.-

Disparate: Book One by TitanGuildRegalia
Fandoms: Eragon - Fandom, The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
09 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
Eragon doesn't grow up the same as the books. A bit of a rework if you will. Well, its completely different. There will be some similar situations, Eragon doesn't start out with the Varden. Eragon never got to know his own family, he was taken as an infant and raised in Uru'baen. His life was far from ideal and he has faced many struggles to get to where he is.
*Originally this was meant to be just changing Eragon's circumstances, but I have changed much of it including character ages and I've taken some other liberties. I hope you read and enjoy*
Revising first several chapters while continuing to update with new chapters.This story is now complete, but might have some revisions.
So a coworker saw the title of this and thought it was a typo. Its not, 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
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

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.
