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
¿Qué habría sucedido si un cuarto huevo de dragón hubiera sobrevivido a la caída de los jinetes de dragón y escapado tanto de las manos de Galbatorix como de los vardenos?
Los rumores abundan en las tierras de Alagaësia: susurros de un nuevo jinete de dragón, uno libre de la influencia del malvado rey Galbatorix, y sobre una inminente guerra con el Reino de Surda y los rebeldes conocidos como los vardenos. Poco intuía Áine que quedaría envuelta en ello.
Tras la ejecución de sus padres bajo cargos de conspiración y traición al Imperio, Áine se encuentra a sí misma cargando con la responsabilidad de sostener las propiedades de su familia y encargarse de la crianza de sus hermanos menores, Roisin y Cahir. Cuando encuentra una extraña gema que sospechosamente se parece a un huevo… sabe que debe huir. ¿Pero hacia dónde?
Su viaje la llevará al mágico bosque de Du Weldenvarden, donde un inesperado profesor la aguarda para entrenarla. También conocerá a un joven llamado Eragon y a su dragona Saphira, cuyas hazañas apenas comienzan a hacerse conocidas en las tierras de Alagaësia.Series

Summary
Galbatorix has taken the throne.
The last remaning riders, with their bonded dragons, along with their elf friends, human friends, and dwarf friends, must come up with a way to defeat the oathbreaker.
They need a miracle, a rock is falling to the earth. A boy inside the rock. A powerful warrior, the likes of which has not been seen in Alagaesia in millennia. A boy with a troubled and dark past.
Will this boy be their salvation? or shall he be the key to their destruction?
Might add more/change tags later, also I will be using both PJO, Magnus chase, Kane chronicles, and mythology, I won't be just sticking to one or the other. So some details might not match old myths or the books.

Summary
The dragon riders are untouchable. Living monuments of immortality and prestige. Until one by one, there are whispers. Rumors spread like dragonfire over the plains. Civil unrest by the downtrodden, fear of a shade hidden in Alagaesia. And worse? The riders are unprepared to fight their own. The Forsworn rise like a plague. Corrupting the decisions of nobles and riders alike. As honorable as they may think they are, some dragon riders were willing to do anything in their power to achieve their goals. Even if it meant turning on their own.
Story takes place before and during the fall of the riders. As close to canon as I could manage on my own research. Follows Radi and his dragon, Maelorum. A 650+ year old elf whose contributions and compendiums to the dragon riders outshine the truth he believes. That humans are undeserving of the dragon rider bond. Senick, a young human magician calls that belief into question. Will Radi and Maelorum fight and die as broken heroes of The Order, or outlive the heroes and be felled by the hope for a new era without The Forsworn?
(Did my best to keep characters in-character. Mostly OCs with cameos and mentions to avoid self-indulgence. :P Tons of references, though!)

Summary
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. -

Summary
Years before the Fall of the Riders, before Galbatorix went mad, there was a black dragon egg. In this egg, there waited a dragon who would one day grow to be a terror feared by many. This is the story from his eyes, including the friends he had, before he went mad, including his original rider, of all things. There are some things in this, that you will not expect to see.
