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
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
"There will come a woman, from the outerlands, from a world beyond the world. She will be marked by flowers, human in many counts but monstrous in others. Hell will follow in her wake. The lands will be soaked with blood, the seas will overflow with the spilled life energy of the world. And she will drink them dry, and rule over the husk of a dead land. A pale queen, for a dead people."
Akari Kiyoko, better known as Razorwire Rose by the CCG, is a ghoul just trying to survive and protect her own in Tokyo. Precariously walking the tightrope between hiding behind her human persona and seeking vengeance against the doves that have taken so much from her. Until one fateful night when she falls off it, into the abyss opening up to wait her.
But her story would not end so easily. Now, the young ghoul finds herself thrust into a world utterly foreign to her, saddled with new responsibilities and new enemies. As forces both foreign and local encircle her and those close to her, how will Akari change the fate of Alagaësia? What ripples will this new player in the game of power and revolution bring with her, and what will be left in her bloody wake?

Summary
The Silmarillion so important to Seregmael he identified as Ardan over Alagaesian. A significant desire of his was he wished to travel far from here in the hopes of meeting an elf who had seen the holy light of the two trees. Now that only I remain, I feel responsible for doing this to honour him, but it does seem so foolish an errand.
Yes, there are differences in a number of the stories according to source and additional context of what language they were in, even from Quenya to Sindarin variances. This includes different interpretations of many relationships. I would love to meet with you to discuss this in detail.
For now I would like to write on my recollections of Seregmael. When I was a teenager he went by his birth name, Isilmë; Seregmael was the name he chose to take on when he joined the Forsworn. He was my best friend, my teacher’s nephew, and Vrael’s grandson. He was an extraordinary warrior, revolutionary, and historian.

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. -

Crown of Gladiolus by maireh for BuggyReader

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. -

Step out of Line by SirBananadragon

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
