Summary
The dragonrider's bond is a bond unmatched, yet Eragon and Saphira have managed to find something even stronger. With their connection, the two have learned how to not just talk with eachother, but be eachother, creating a new being who is a mix between the two. Who can say what the dragonriders return means for the Empire? Who can say what this new magic will mean for the land of Alagaësia? Only time will tell.

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
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.

MIC Shorts and Snippets by WeirdPonytail
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
19 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
A collection of the shorter shorts, snippets, excerpts and ideas from the MIC AU. Most, if not all of these began life on tumblr and after a quick vote, the people have decided Archive needs the extra lore and softer tidbits. Any necessary warnings will be added in the notes.
(NOTE: Modern Inheritance/MIC is **NOT** a fully modern take on IC, but has some cherry-picked, modern-ish elements. Swords and Magic still abound! No cars, fighter jets, engines, electricity, cell phones, etc. to be found here! And no, we do not strap guns to Saphira. If I had a nickel every time....)

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. -
Durza, Born of Shadow by dragonriderofold

Summary
In the heart of the desert, beneath a sun that offers no mercy and a wind that whispers of forgotten graves, a boy was left to die. What rose from that dust was not just a survivor, but something darker — shaped by grief, forged in necromantic fire, and summoned into legend. This is the story of Durza, a soul remade by vengeance, shadow, and the desert's cruel gift.

Summary
So young and so naive. It's a wonder they let you down here." Taminas eyes widened a bit. " Or could it be they don't know you're here" he sounded delighted and she could only glance down. He continued " Ow, how your ignorance is gonna cost you." Tamina felt another tear glide over her face. "Please let me go" she whispered. He just smiled down at her making her realise just how small she was compared to him. "I will never let you go now, you are mine."
When Taminas curiosity gets the best and she accidentally gains the attention of the dangerous shade Durza she is in a lot of trouble. And in a world were nothing is black and white, Tamina has to make her way through the grey.
This is a very dark fiction with sexual scenes , dark themes and an attempt at world building.

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 my other stories! Still working on it and stumbling, but I will return.)

Summary
Durza was always fascinated by Arya's resistance to him. She always seemed to be able to find a way to fight back, the little things, defiant and fiery and so different from all the other playthings Galbatorix had granted him.
Arya never realized just how deep that fascination went.
TW: Durza's a creep. There is no 'conventional' sexual assault, but the intent is there and an unconventional violation is described in some detail.
