The dwarves were onto something by Flipside7

Summary
What if the deity’s that the dwarves worship weren’t completely made up? Eragon and Murtagh cross paths with a woman not quite of earth. Her name is Kilf, and the stories of old aren’t quite right. Takes place in book one, multiple OC’s and pairings. Not strictly original storyline. Earlier chapters are going through editing for better readability.
On hold. -

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
Murtagh's bones split with a sickening crack, but the sound was swallowed by the young man's screams. His skin itched and burned as his flesh tore and reformed under it. His eyes stung. Death would have been preferred to this. But, death was not a luxury he was allowed. His throat felt as though it was on fire and his mouth tasted of blood, the metallic smell filling his nostrils. Through his clouded eyes, he could see the stone floors pooling with it. Red seeping into every crevasse. Red filling his eyes. Red covering his skin. Red as a rose. Red as the baby dragon who had stood before him minutes ago. Red as the small, infant creature whose own wails had silenced at some point. Red as Thorn.
Or, in summary:
Galbatorix figures he can kill all his birds with one stone. Punish Murtagh for running away, grow the dragon out of infancy, make the perfect weapon against Eragon, and not have to control two creatures at once. So he uses his magic to fuse Murtagh and Thorn into one.

Summary
Decades ago, Brom made a decision that would shape all of Alagaësia. He had a choice: to finally exact revenge on the one he had considered his brother, or to aid his newly-formed rebel group and give them a real chance of victory.
This is the story where Eragon flees into the Spine as soon as he realises the Ra'zac are after him. He never meets Brom, and so his magic grows uncontained. Wild. He has learned how to survive. Now, he must travel to the ends of his earth to understand what it truly means to thrive.
Brom had always thought he would be able to retire and live peacefully - if not in luxury - in the small village of Carvahall, but when a crimson egg appears on his doorstep, he knows exactly what he has to do. Perhaps he will even usurp that cursed prophecy that has hung over him for so very long.

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
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
They navigated for days. The days turned chillier. Until one day, an immense wall made of ice surged in the distance. When Eragon and Saphira discover Westeros, it's not exactly the place they expected to raise dragons and train riders.
When Jon Snow woke up after the Battle of the Bastards, he never expected to see a blue dragon in the courtyard of Winterfell, let alone a talkative one.

Summary
On an errand for her mother, Arya and her dragon are flying to the Beor Mountains when a wind catches hold of them and carries them into Middle-Earth. There seems to be no way back, so what is it that Arya has to do to get back? Who is the blond haired Mirkwood elf that gets her attention almost as soon as she arrives?
Will whatever she has to do make her want to stay? And how will the people of Middle-Earth react to the green dragon, Firnen? Will they want to kill him, or can Arya convince Thranduil he is not a threat to anyone? For everyone knows that a dragon bonded to a rider being killed will turn the rider insane, if they do not die, or give up their Eldunari before they die.

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

Summary
While Murtagh worked at his family's coffee shop, he and Eragon, a young college student that just moved nearby, met and quickly become friends. They both had secrets, but they knew not to cross any lines.
Murtagh appreciated having a break during work, to hear gossip about people he didn't know, and Eragon missed having someone to talk to everyday, since moving from his hometown.
However, they would soon realize that they were trapped in opposites sides of a generational war. Murtagh's was from the biggest mafia family in town, soon to be their heir, and Eragon had come to finish his father's investigation, the search that lead to his death.
(Or, a Modern AU, where dragons are people, but mysterious, and coffee shops in college towns are the best cover for laundering mafia money)

Summary
“It looks human, if that’s what you’re worried about,” Murtagh said. “Pretty typical, I think. It might be a glamor. Maybe for fertility rituals?”
Eragon hummed. “Maybe. It doesn’t feel like a glamor.”
“It could just be anchored on the surface,” Murtagh said. “Have you…checked?”
Or: Eragon gets a surprise. Murtagh helps.
