🐓🐉🤠Eragon and Top Gun AU🤠🐉🐓

Hangster Shur'tugalar

I've recently discovered that Christopher Paolini is going to offer us another Inheritance book centered on Murtagh & Thorn (💕💕). This got me EXCITED like WOW! One of my favourite fantasy world!

Thus here I am with another AU.... I've other stuff to share later including a long (looooooong, not even finished yet) descriptive post of the plot I imagined or even a fic, depending on the mood (not my priority fic to write though). I clearly don't own any of the Inheritance world-building thingies (Paolini does!).

HOWEVER, the dragon names are from my own thinking with the Ancient Language I could find... I tried to make it as close to Bradley and Jake's callsigns as possible. One HELL of a mouthful though... Don't ask me how to pronounce their full names! xD

Name: Bradley Bradshaw-Machado

Family: Adopted by the Machado Family, unknown biological parents (are they though? 😏)

Place of Birth: Carvahall (is it though?)

Social Status: Farmer, later Shur'tugal

Female Dragon Name: Fethreldrvarya (short Varya)

From the Ancient Language, Fethr + eldrvarya (feather + burn)

[Pic Sources: x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x]

Name: Jake Seresin of the Broddring Empire

Family: King Galbatorix (father), Seresin concubine (mother), Bob Floyd (half-brother)

Place of Birth: Urû'baen

Social Status: Bastard Prince (technically heir to the throne BUT), ? (something secret for now), later Shur'tugal

Male Dragon Name: Kverstanglát (short Kvers)

From the Ancient Language, Kverst + anglát (cut + death)

Hajime as a dragon rider and Izuru Kamukura as his dragon.

[uluthrek]

inheritance cycle modern au in which all of the dragons are horses which makes eragon the underdog horse girl, saphira the underdog girl horse and brom the disgruntled and disillusioned horse trainer who doesn’t believe in the validity of this sport until he sees the ✨bond✨ eragon has with his horse saphira who is still as blue as she is in canon (don’t ask that‘s just how it works, if you question this, i‘ll track your ip).

and galbatorix is the aggressively eastern european horse girl dad who had some sort of hip injury that brought his eventing career to an abrupt end and now he must vicariously live through his protégé, murtagh, lest he kills himself. and thorn is the very expensive horse galbatorix bought for wish fulfillment purposes and murtagh and thorn are so horribly traumatized by all the stress and pressure of defeating little kids at the pony finals that they ✨bond✨.

oromis and glaedr are their direct opponents and galbatorix nancy kerrigan‘s them (oromis dies like he does canonically because honestly, hunters be like that) so murtagh can get his ribbon. and then there‘s the big final competition and eragon, underdog wonder magic horse girl, goes toe to toe with murtagh, tortured champion to be, and they have this epic horse battle (an 80cm clear round but the atmosphere is very intense) and eragon loses. but then brom delivers this epic speech about idk man like success and passion and whatnot and then he dies which gives eragon the final push to defeat murtagh but OH NO, thorn is HURT from being OVERWORKED and murtagh has an epic horse peril breakdown and tearfully tells galbatorix he‘ll withdraw.

so galbatorix goes „fuck the kid“ and gets shruikan (the very bad very big black warmblood stallion that shows up in every horse girl movie) to best eragon HIMSELF (but not before locking nasuada, the animal rights activist that murtagh has struck up a tentative romance with, in a porta-potty). and then him and eragon compete and it‘s INTENSE (meanwhile, roran and katrina have a sub plot about capturing a flock of runaway ducks that is constantly being cut to during that climactic scene) and shit is looking DISMAL for poor eragon until a vision of brom and also his dead mother, because this is a proper horse girl movie and not some bibi und tina bullshit, and that gives him the strength to defeat galbatorix.

and then he wins and thorn doesn’t die and someone frees nasuada from the porta-potty and she gets to punch galbatorix in the face. and fírnen (who is a horse but also still green) emerges during the post credit scene and meets arya and sets up a cash grabby amazon prime spinoff series and roran and katrina successfully capture the ducks and everyone is happy and there is no more horse peril.

the whole thing takes place in exactly one horse show afternoon. it makes such perfect sense actually you can fit everyone in. nar garzvog‘s at the grill and makes hot dogs. islanzadi does nothing but drink cheap wine and bitch from the sidelines. angela mans the beverage stall and tells everyone who wants to listen (or doesn’t) that toads don’t exist. solembum is the raccoon on her shoulder who violates all fda guidelines by simply existing. orrin is nasuada‘s bitter ex boyfriend who pretended to be vegan for years so she‘d like him only to be dumped for murtagh and his emo swagger in a heartbeat. orik is a shetland pony.

[umunschaas]

Felt rather meh recently, so I drew another Morzan and Galbatorix for my AU. Murtagh is also around, congrats if you found him… hopefully I'll draw his full design one day soon.

a polite little fella

[alagaesia-headcanons]

I will always be so sad and angry that Eragon never recognized how horribly the elves treated him and that no one else helped protect him from it either. Oromis is so insidiously and inexcusably cruel to him and Eragon truly deserved the chance to escape that and see the damage he caused, and also to then beat Oromis into a bloody pulp. And Glaedr too, honestly. He's mostly gone unscathed in my past rants, largely because at least his personality isn't so insufferable, but he ain't shit either. He's fully complicit in all of Oromis's vile abuse, and adds to it himself in certain places. They more than earn Eragon's ire, but they all constantly belittle him and insist that they inherently know better than him about everything, and poor Eragon believes them, so he doesn't fight back. No!!! Every misgiving you have about them is true, and not only should you stand your ground, but you should also start maiming them!!!!!

Oromis's mannerisms are respectful, kind, and gentle, but they in no way indicate his actual feelings. It just serves as a guise, while their actions demonstrate that both he and Glaedr don't have a single shred of respect for Eragon. They don't trust him, they don't put faith in him, they don't care about his wellbeing, and they have so much contempt for him. And they do all that while they take everything from Eragon, demanding he sacrifice himself constantly, and not always just in the interest of beating the Empire! In some cases it's solely an expression of their resentment of him or a way to cut away at the parts of him they don't like.

And Eragon gives them everything, so earnestly and generously. Then they give him jack shit. They only give him whatever suits their intention to use him as a weapon, and even in that, they pick and choose things to withhold according to their disdain for him. Contempt is all he gets in return for his trust and loyalty.

And it makes me sad how Saphira isn't there for him in this. In her defense, she's very young and they harm her also by prioritizing her utility to them over anything else, which she sadly does not recognize either. But beyond that, the elves and Oromis and Glaedr specifically treat her far, far better than they treat Eragon. She's in no way responsible for their actions, but there are places where she enables the abuse. Most often through overlooking it, but sometimes when Eragon rightfully balks at their mistreatment, then turns to Saphira for her input, she tells him, "I trust them and I think you should be deferring to them."

Eragon is so earnest and compassionate and he deserves care, both in the form of other people caring about his wellbeing, and also through the chance for him to learn how he can and should care for himself. Yet at the end of the series, he's so conditioned to accept manipulation and abuse and I just want my poor boy to have a chance to rest and HEAL 😭

Got my driver’s license, so yall getting a Modern ‘Good’ Morzan AU, and who drives like what.

Eragon: blasts music like there’s no tomorrow. Might be deaf at this point, but the ADHD must be silenced with rock songs.

Murtaugh: terrified of turning left, but other than that he’s a decent driver. He can’t remember the last time he’s ever did an oil change on the car.

Brom: “don’t turn on your turn signal, that’s how people know where you’re going.”™️

Puts everyone in music timeout if he misses a turn

Arya: only one who can ACTUALLY drive. But she does go fast.

Morzan: hits a curb and goes ‘oopsie’. If he crashes and dies, just know he went out like a man (he’s belting Madonna)

Oromis: had his license taken away, but will still judge your driving even if he’s wrong.

Nasuada: passenger princess. In fact, she never even got her permit. But she doesn’t need one as everyone just drives her where they wanna go, because she’s the one that orders for you at a restaurant, and knows how to do an oil change.

Roran: can’t drive a small car, but can drive a tractor like a race car, and has a pickup truck that’s so busted up you don’t even know how it’s still running. It’s living off blood, sweat, tears, and the power of god.

Pirate Zuko is such an underrated concept

One thing I find really unrealistic with ATLA is that zuko spent 3 WHOLE YEARS on a ship sailing across a world submerged in war and not once did he get a moral crisis? Especially while counting the fact the Iroh is literally part of a huge organization? So I feel like it's very likely that a year or two into his banishment zuko's like: wait a minute, something doesn't add up. And proceeds to commit full blown treason as a PIRATE, and the entire time Iroh is gently preparing him for Rebellion and overthrowing his father. Just think about it, the betrayal, the feels, the bloody atrocities of war and how it affects literal children who are forced to fight it, the inhumane cruelty of spirits, and the painful realization that each person carries potential for both good and bad.

This whole concept has quite literally been torturing my brain for WEEKS.

Art for au and eventual parts of my fic

Twilight and saphira would be good friends me thinks. They have sun naps together <3 (saphira looks a little less blue in this than i like but it is what it is and i'm happy with it at least :^ )

plus bonus Woof doodles and stuff for this au without context

Wolfie <3 Eragon you have been adopted. do not resist. You now have like... 8 new bros + 1 father figure (maybe two?) :D (Ngl I can see Eragon just Face planting in the floof that it Twilight's wolf form.)

These ones have some hints to where some of the rest of the chain end up.

Legend and Wind! i has plans... which involve some mer boi :D don't worry bout Wind he's fine :) I should draw Sky at some point :^

dragons have opposable thumbs so they can commit crimes 👍

[cs-cabin-and-crew]

Regarding Oromis and his training ‘techniques’.

That crap was straight torcher. My poor baby Eragon.

No wonder Morzan was so mentally unbalanced and unstable. Time to write him cussing Oromis out in my AU

[eastern-lights]

Did we ever get an in-universe explanation as to why the dragons didn't heal Oromis as well?

The easiest answer would be that the spell required so much energy that they could only heal (1) one curse.

Now this is gonna sound cruel, but if that's the case, if they needed a weapon against Galbatorix, why on earth would they pick Eragon? Why bet on a hatchling that has barely proven himself in battle when someone who already is an experienced warrior, an insanely poweful magician and their friend is right there and dying?

Truly, why not heal them both? Saphira's diamond transmutation schenanigans have already shown that the normal rules of magic don't apply to dragons. If the Eldunarí gave it the idea, the reflection could manage it.

We would have had an Oromis who has to restrain himself to not just fly to Uru'baen and strangle Galbatorix, now that he is whole. Who perhaps feels guilty that he has been healed and Glaedr not. We could see just how much of his occasionally fickle temper has been due to his buried frustration at his disability and how much is just him.

And we would see an Oromis who still gets beaten and driven back by Murtagalbatorix because he fails to heed his own advice and lets his rage blind him.

It still would not be him and Glaedr who beat Galbatorix. They are too old and filled with righteous anger and they know too much about what he has done to even think of compassion when he's before them.

But compassion is exactly what is needed and that is why Eragon accomplishes what they never could. Only this time he does it not because he's the literal last Dragon Rider, but rather because of who he is.

We would have seen an Oromis who lives to see Eragon best him, and could not be prouder.

[thearunadragon]

So I just had a horrifying thought. Glaedr was trapped in his Eldunarí after his death, right? The battle was projected upon Eragon and he collapsed multiple times in experiencing it (and, in the words of one of my very favorite people on this platform, it was a bad time to catch a case of narcolepsy! Poor Arya was just “?!”).

But what if Glaedr’s projection of events didn’t stop there. What if, instead of trying to hide, he had continued to project his situation upon Eragon, but… emotionally.

Like he could literally just GIVE Eragon his grief and make him carry the loss of a bonded partner without Saphira ever dying, and there is no rule or line of prevention to truly stop him.

Hollup y’all the ceiling needs to hear about this

[umunschaas]

Jarnunvösk. But it's an AU and she survived. Still got an ouch tho.

And some more Jarnunvösk:

Aaaand one more.

Open RP - Felix and Nicholas Gold - OUAT/Eragon AU

Nicholas stood outside the pawnshop, looking out to the Storybrooke library. He had a number of thoughts going through his head as his brother came out of the shop.

"Were your words to me not, 'You'll be walking home this evening with that attitude?" Felix had closed up shop and was locking the door when his brother's eyes looked over to the other man.

"Considering you're not the crippled of the two of us, you should be walking home." The younger twin shrugged at the thought of it.

"Unfortunately, it's the only upside to our lives here." He says low, hearing the sound of footsteps coming toward the shop. "I'm sorry, we are closed for the evening." Felix shifted to meet the person coming up to them.
