The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini+2

Beware the Jabberwock

by AverageFish

(This fic is accessible to people who don't know the fandoms.) King Galbatorix laughed, eyes twinkling much like Dumbledore’s had. “Yes, Harry. Dragon riders. Come, let me show you this world. I’m sure there is a place for you here.” Harry had grown up in a cupboard. Had been thrown headfirst into a world of magic, where everyone already seemed to know everything about him. He had been expected to save them all. Something hungry inside him trembled. There’s a place for you here, the King had said. Harry believed him.

The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini

This And Every Lifetime

by StoryDreamBeliever

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.)
