History FanficRecs / InheritanceCycle

* Comments: An excellent retelling of the Inheritance Cycle where Eragon and Murtagh grow up together, Morzan and his dragon are alive, and we get a well-placed time-skip that allows all the protagonists to grow stronger and wiser than they are in canon. There is some non-canon worldbuilding, but it enriches the narrative and feels very true to the setting. Galbatorix also flexes his evil muscles a bit more here than in canon. [[spoiler:Eragon's transformation occurs much earlier and gives him 'the soul of a dragon,' which causes just as many problems as it solves. Firnen hatches early for Arya,]][[spoiler: and an unexpected but highly welcome fourth dragon-rider pair join the protagonists.]] It's one of this troper's all-time favorite fanfics. Updates periodically.

* Comments: Amazing story. Everyone is in character, especially Smaug, who doesn't let the PowerOfLove make him any less threatening or dangerous to others, and while he definitely loves Saphira, she has extreme difficulty curtailing his vicious tendencies. Definitely worth a read.

* ''Comments'': The whole thing is several times longer than the whole ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'', but don't let that put you off, because I enjoyed every minute of it. The author manages to take everything that was canon up through book 2, turn it on its head, and make the BigBad out to be TheHero and vice-versa while telling an engaging story. There's a lot of original characters, who are all well-realized and interesting. The series does tend to slant dark, and AnyoneCanDie, so be warned, but it can also be funny and genuinely touching just as often, and is definitely worth a read. [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/908750/Opifex-the-Singer The series can be found here.]]

* Comments: Disappointed with the ending of Inheritance? Believe me when I say this story is ''perfect for you.'' Everyone is so in character, I keep having to remind myself that this ''isn't'' canon. Perfect grammar/spelling/punctuation, tons of fluff, and description so awesome I just can't- ''gaaaah I love this story.''

* Comments: I absolutely love this story. Everyone is in character, especially Smaug, who doesn't let the PowerOfLove make him any less threatening or dangerous to others, and while he definitely loves Saphira, she has extreme difficulty curtailing his vicious tendencies. Definitely worth a read.

* Comments: Disregarding the characters and storyline of "Eragon," this parody focuses on Paolini's writing style. It lampoons everything from his PurpleProse, to his "original" storytelling, and everything in between. A hilarious read for anyone who found Paolini's writing style irritating.

* ''Status'': Ongoing

* Synopsis: The Dragonborn gets called (read: summoned against his will by a hermit) to the world of Inheritance Cycle.
