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 under much darker circumstances. This time, they can help each other before it's too late.Friends are made (reluctantly), futures brighten, a dragon survives and history changes. At least in part. There is still a witch in the mountains.

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. -

Summary
"What if Shruikan hadn’t died during the Battle of Urû’Baen?
And what if he wasn't as beyond saving as everyone believes?
Nearly a year has passed since Galbatorix's defeat, and Dwyr’de—a young victim of the tyrant’s cruelties—is trying to heal the wounds left by years of captivity, while also attempting to soothe the fire raging within the soul of the black dragon.
Haunted by ghosts of the past and mysterious returns, the ‘quiet life’ of the young half elf and the old dragon is about to be disrupted once more. -

A series of short stories, not in chronological order, set during the Fall of the Dragon Riders. My take on the events leading up to Galbatorix taking control of the Empire, but follows canon as closely as possible.

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. -
