* CanonDefilement: Aside from the obvious AlternateCharacterInterpretation going on for just about anyone, the actual fanfictions tend to get a lot of the technical facts from the books wrong(such as the length of time between the forming of the Riders and the Fall), and in some cases flatly changes them.(Such as the name, color, and gender of Eragon I's dragon.)
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Eragon's true name is revealed to be [[spoiler: þykkr-höfuð]], which means "thick head" [[BilingualBonus in Old Norse]].
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[spoiler: Galbatorix's reunion with the Forsworn after yet another brush with death. And if that weren't enough, we get Laela's rebirth just after that!]]
* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: [[spoiler: Galbatorix has several close brushes with death during ''From White To Black'' most notably late in chapter fifty-six. But then you remember that it's a prequel story...]]
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Ravana's return in Black Dragons.]]
* MoralEventHorizon: Vrael crosses spectacularly when he [[spoiler: ''suffocates a baby'' just because it's of mixed ancestry]]. Where the Riders as a whole stand on the moral event horizon becomes clear when their long history of genocide is revealed (and again [[spoiler: when it's demonstrated during the dark elf incident.]])
* TakeThatScrappy: Kaelyn gets a few later in From White to Black, mostly from Morzan.
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Einas' death. Vander's death, which even made the author tear up while writing it.]]
