Enduring by TitanGuildRegalia
Fandoms: Eragon (2006), The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini

Summary
This sequel completely ignores anything after Inheritance, so names, places, characters will likely be different. I have not read either of the two new books and prefer to pretend like they don't exist. This will be slower to update.
Two decades is a long time to be gone from home. Things change, for better or for worse. Eragon has had twenty years to build/change relationships with his friends/allies/family. Letters/mirrors can't tell us everything about the people we love. What happens when he goes back home? Who will lift him up and who will bring him down?
If you want cold or spiteful Eragon, this is not a story for you.
If you think a man can have a past, but a woman can't, this may not be a story for you.
If you believe that someone can love more than one person in their lifetime, this may be a story for you.
If you believe that your greatest love doesn't have to be your first love, this may be a story for you.
If you believe people can change and forgive, this may be a story for you.
If you know that there is more than one way to have a healthy relationship, this may be a story for you.
Fäolin is mentioned briefly, if you can handle that, then this may be a story for you. -

Summary
It has been 20 years since the Mad King, Galbatorix, had been slain. Alagaesia was still healing, but it was definitely better than what it had been. This year marked the 10th year since the new dragons had started hatching after the defeat of Bachel and her cultists. This would also mark the fifth time that the Annual Games would be held at Mount Arngor.
New dragons and riders grace the land. What will Eragon do when two show up with connections to his past? Plus the games are coming up this year. Oh, this is going to be grate.

Summary
The snow-bound north is a repository of secrets and forbidden knowledge.
Murtagh is well-aware of this, of the dangers in seeking this knowledge - and that he's using the excuse of seeking those answers to avoid dealing with the problems that still await him in more familiar parts of the world. But he isn't the first to seek to bury his past in the snow, and those who came before have left more for him to dig up than he's prepared for.

Summary
Eragon is of the northernmost reaches of the Spine and all of Alagaësia. He has ice in his blood and steel in his heart.
He is the greatest hunter in all of Carvahall. He is the one who took down the greatest predators in the Spine. He is the one who found a dragon egg, hatched it, and became the babe's Rider.
Eragon is a hunter. When the Ra'zac, Shades, and even an Emperor attempt to make him the hunted, he shows them exactly how wrong they are.
...If only his love for his best friend Katrina, the oddness of his mind, or his dislike of being a man were so easy to act on.

Summary
AU where Garrow and Hrothgar meet… and they don’t agree on a single thing. They’re constantly at each other’s throats, and Eragon’s right at the center of it, juggling family, duty, politics, and camp life all while being the Varden’s heavily-hassled Dragon Rider. He doesn’t think he’ll be getting that nap any time soon.

Summary
Ever since they left Alagaësia to rebuild the Shur'tugal, Eragon and his half sister Naeva have been working tirelessly. Unfortunately, five years in, Eragon has been pulling away from Naeva, casting her aside for not being a Rider, focusing his attention and energy on more "important" things. Eventually, Naeva feels like nothing more than a servant to him and the new Riders.
The worst part? She's essentially accepted the new dynamic. It's only when a familiar face returns to them and begins to help Naeva find her worth again that she realizes...
She deserves far better than this. -

Summary
Three years after the fall of Galbatorix, Murtagh is sent by Eragon to act as the rider liaison to Iliria. Murtagh and now-Queen Nasuada become reacquainted with each other, and must decide if they have a future together. Murtagh struggles with the past, feeling that he can't give Nasuada everything she deserves, and Nasuada has to balance her duties as Queen with the desires of her heart.
(This is Part 3 of a canon-compliant series following Murtagh Post-Inheritance. The first two parts are "Tornac of the Road" and "The Dark Hours". You can enjoy this story by itself, but some background and contextual things will not make sense.)

One that will change the very land itself. -
Tags
Summary
Thirty some years have passed since Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Brightscales left Alagaesia with a cohort of elves, eldunari, dragon eggs, and his brother Murtagh with his dragon Thorn to rebuild the Riders from the ground up.
But when a suspiciously timed assasination attempt of both Queen Arya and Nasuada is foiled thanks to increasingly cryptic visions by Eragon and Murtagh . Their prescence is demanded back the snaking courts of Illiria and Ellesmera. Ugly age old plots rear their heads for the first time, zealous remnants of tyrants past plot the overthrow of the status quo. While the slow moving courts of the Elves picks up the speed of their schemes at a frightening pace. Two brothers for two courts. Slowly and inexorably, Eragon and Murtagh must uncover a plot older than the time of Galbatorixes reign as High King while navigating predatory lords, ancient foes, and a rapidly changing & dangerous political landscape.

Tasked with delivering a package to Eragon Shadeslayer, things take an unexpected turn. Will you be able to reach the dragon rider, while all eyes are on you?
Will Nasuada give you a raise once this is over?

Silver Hand, Golden Hearts by Glacilumi (orphan_account)
Fandoms: The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
04 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Eragon, Son of None, has long known something was wrong. But it wasn't until meeting Vera the trader, formerly Harmon, that it made sense. She was a woman, born with a man's body.
Pairing this revelation with the birth of a baby dragon that she knew would be her responsibility... Everything changed.
She would lose many freedoms she once took for granted, both as a man and as a civilian not bound by the obligations of a Rider.
Much was to change... But as she takes the name Maria Selenasdaughter, giving the dragon the name Brom had but whispered - 'Saphira' - she somehow felt the change would be good.
Hopefully her golden heart and silver hand would guide her well.
