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.

Summary
Tabatha's world turns upside down when her childhood friend, Eragon, is revealed as a legendary Dragon Rider. As she helps him escape Galbatorix's wrath on a treacherous quest across Alagaësia, she crosses paths with Murtagh, the brooding warrior with a past he can’t escape.
Though Tabatha has secrets of her own—secrets Galbatorix wants and will kill to acquire—the two are drawn together against all odds. But fate is quick to separate them. With enemies at every turn, their romance blooms under a shadow of secrecy, betrayal, and divided loyalties that threaten to tear them apart.
With her own budding power, Tabatha must find her power and place in a war where losing will cost her life, and winning may cost her heart.
Can she triumph with the Varden while staying true to herself? Or will their love end in tragedy between the bitter clash of rebels and empire?

Step out of Line by SirBananadragon
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
07 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Being a rider is not exactly how Galbatorix and Morzan had imagined it to be. One chafes with the limits, the other with the rules.
It was fate that they should meet eventually, although it was certainly supposed to happen differently.
Friends are made, a dragon survives and history... gets a little confused and drops some things.Series

Crown of Gladiolus by maireh for BuggyReader
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
14 Jun 2025

Summary
What if Brom had run sooner—farther?
If, instead of carving out a resistance in shadow and silence, he had fled with Selena and her child to the very edges of the Empire—beyond where the King's breath could reach, beyond even the memory of oaths and fire—what would they have become?A girl- born of Morzan’s blood but shaped by forest air and her mother’s hands. Would she have grown brave and sharp-edged like Selena, or would the old cruelty have shown in her gaze when no one was looking?
This is a story of the life that almost was—a life not traced in ash and vengeance, but in moss-lined paths and quiet defiance.
No blades, no Riders. Just a man who chose love over war, a woman who had already lost too much, and the child between them who might have rewritten everything.She might have learned to name wildflowers before weapons. To read the wind before the language of runes.
She might have laughed like a child should—soft, unburdened, unguarded.
She might have remained unseen.But peace is a thin veil.
And even in the deep woods, some hungers do not sleep.
The past does not stay buried. It watches. It waits.
And sometimes, it sends a name instead of a shadow. -

Summary
Eragon grows up in Ellesmera with his brother. They've been raised away from the prying eyes of the humans in the empire. He's reluctant to step into the world of magic, but that doesn't matter much when you have no say in whether or not a dragon hatches for you. Eragon and Murtagh learn some harsh truths that send them down different paths and test the strength of their family bonds. Eragon will discover where he fits in the world he's never even seen before. He will make new acquaintances, and strong friends, and hopefully avoid powerful enemies. And maybe, with a little bit of help from his friends, he might just one day strike down Galbatorix.
Thanks to Stutz for the new title :)
