Murtagh/Inheritance Cycle Community!

Hi everyone! I've made a community for all Inheritance Cycle (and of course, by extension, Murtagh) fans here! There's a pinned post with an intro and some ground rules, so feel free to request an invite if you'd like!

I'm also working on the second chapter of the Dark Legacies series (you can find the masterlist here), so keep your eyes peeled for that as well!

A concept: maybe you fall asleep for a while on Murtagh’s shoulder or in his cloak, then the next day he realizes the fabric still smells like you and keeps burying his face in it.

Baby boy Tornac or girldad!Murtagh: make him suffer. Give him twins.

Oh god lol he’d probably pass out. Like be that dad during the ultrasound that just goes rigid, then it’s *tiiiiiiimbeeeeeeer.*

(In all seriousness though, I think due to his upbringing, he would do his best to be there for the mother of his kids and treat her like royalty, then be the best, most involved, dedicated dad ever)

[murtagh-thorn]

I can’t decide whether I like the idea of Murtagh (once he’s ready and finds someone he loves and trusts and can settle down with) having a son named Tornac or being a girl dad.

If I made a tumblr community for Murtagh/Inheritance Cycle fans, would anyone be interested in joining (unsure if there is one already)?

Thinking about Mirtagha nd Eragon talking about Eragon being a dragon rider. Murtagh hints at his jealousy, things progressively escalate to the point of Eragon saying that he really doesn’t like the position of leadership he’s in. He doesn’t like being away from his loved ones. Given how him being chosen by the Eldunarya destroyed parts of his family and his hometown and threw him into a war with so much death, especially of people he respected, he would have liked to live without that. Saphira’s existence and their bond is one of his only comforts. That and the fact that he’s helping to bring the dragons back.

Murtagh is surprised by this. He realizes that his assessment of Eragon was mostly false. Eragon isn’t a proud gloating leader. He’s a humble (young) man who carries an undesired role on his shoulders because no one else was there to take it from him. He later realizes that Eragon is a nurturer. He nurtures relationships, nurtures the land, gives a safe place for those whose lives have been upended by fate. He wonders… what is his own role.

He later apologizes to Eragon for his false assumptions. Eragon accepts his apology.

Hello, I hope everything is fine with you! I was wondering, will you keep posting more for your Dark Legacies series? I read the 1st chapter a while ago and really enjoyed it, and I've wondering about this for a while, but I didn't want to ask anything since I was kinda afraid of idk, sound annoying for asking for more.

Hello! I'm so glad you liked it! You don't sound annoying at all. I do have plans to continue and am currently working on a rough outline for part 2, things have just been a bit hectic in my personal life and I've been sick. Parts 1 and 2 will set up the story, and then after that I have plans to continue it as a series of stand-alone one-shots all taking place in the same universe.

Eragon and Murtagh are in Carvahall visiting the Stronghammers. They are talking to little Ismira (4-5). Murtagh and Roran both have beards at the point, but Eragon doesn’t. Based on her understanding, Ismira confidently says that Eragon isn’t full grown because he doesn’t have a beard. Murtagh bursts out laughing (maybe choked on his drink a bit). Roran laughs too. Eragon chuckles. Murtagh IS NOT going to let Eragon forget this!

Lmaooooo yes, I love it. Roran and Murtagh bond over this and always tease him about it, too.

There are days when he sees pretty things, like a colorful pebble or a beautiful leaf, and he's bringing them to you. If they are too big, he'll show them in mind. You love those the most, because his emotions always bleed through.

I can totally see him making a memento or trinket out of them to gift to you too.

- He knows you're unwell the moments your eyes meet. He silently hugs you. The kind of hug with the entire body, not just empty arms, you know?

- Small kisses on the forehead, while waiting for your eyes to meet again.

- when your eyes meet again, a warm and loving look is his way to invite you to talk to him and let it all out while still being hold by him

You're great and deserve to be happy <3

Thank you friend <3

Fluffy headcanon: once Thorn found someone whom he wanted to impress, he asked Murtagh to recite romantic poetry to him, to pass that on to his soon-to-be-mate. Once they got together, Murtagh was absolutely overjoyed. Maybe there were tears, even.

Yeeesss this is so sweet. I can totally see Murtagh happy crying over Thorn finding happiness later in life, especially given how the first few years were for him.

this is so sweet, thank you friend <3

Please anyone who has a second, I would love if any comments, reblogs, or inboxes could be filled with comforting, fluffy Murtagh headcanons (especially if it’s how he comforts you when he knows you’ve been having a rough time).
