AN: Many of these could be taken as follow ups to others(like 3 and 13), but there are also ones that obviously don't belong in the same universe(like 3 and 16). The ones with Brom and Morzan are completely cannon friendly, and so are the Eragon and Murtagh ones(at least until the fourth book comes out).

Disclaimer: Does not own.

#1- Lost:

Morzan sighed and looked over at Brom, "You have no idea where we are, do you."

#2-Figurehead:

In one of their numerous battles, Murtagh stared down at his brother and told him, in no uncertain terms, that he was a fool for believing that he held any real power.

#3- Oubliette:

Sometimes Murtagh wonders if they forgot that he was immortal when they had him sent to waste away in a prison deep underground; after what seemed like a century but was only a month(who could keep track anyway, when there was no way to tell the time ) he decided that they had, and that it was Eragon's idea (his brother was the only one who knew of his hatred of being left behind and his fear of being forgotten).

#4- Enthusiasm:

Morzan never understood how Brom could be so enthusiastic about the simplest of things; Brom never understood how Morzan couldn't until years later, when they were both adults fighting on opposite sides of a war.

#5- Rival:

Sibling rivalry, like most other things, was considerably more deadly during wartime.

#6- Complimentary:

Murtagh and Eragon, like their fathers before them, fit together like puzzle pieces(nobody had ever said that they were the right ones).

#7- Physics:

When Brom asked how dragons could fly given their wingspan/weight ratio, Morzan just rolled his eyes and told him that some things just didn't obey the laws of physics.

#8-Empty:

Brom looked down at the unmoving body of his former friend and felt nothing but exhaustion.

#9- Opportunist:

If there was one thing Brom learned from his idol, it was to always take advantage of every situation(morality would always take a back seat to survival).

#10- Hypocrite:

Eragon looked down at the dead soldier who had tried to surrender, and thought of a day, months ago, when a different son of Selena killed another helpless wretch, and told himself that it was different(he had developed a talent for self-deception)

#11-Stalemate:

Murtagh assessed the situation: he had Eragon disarmed and and bound, while Saphira had Thorn underneath her, ready to snap his neck if he harmed her rider; the only thought that went through his head was, 'how many times is this going to happen before Galbatorix loses patience?'

#12- Grieve:

Saphira wasn't all that Brom mourned for the day that she died.

#13-Debt:

"There", Eragon said, holding open the door of his elder brother's prison cell, "Now we're even."

#14-Respect:

Saphira had never truly liked Morzan, but she did respect him, if only because of what the boy did to the riders who had decided to mock his dragon, Kievka.

#15- Lex Talionis:

Eragon looked at the stump that had once been his arm, turned his gaze on a sick looking Murtagh, and decided that the "Eye for an Eye" philosophy was a perfectly reasonable one in this situation.

#16- Capital Punishment:

Eragon and Saphira never showed up to their own executions- less well known is that the Red Rider was seen coming out of the dungeons that same day with significantly less eldunarya than he went in with.

#17- Motive:

Morzan thought it ironic that Brom and Galbatorix had the same motive for going on a Rider Killing Rampage.

#18- Testify:

Murtagh was surprised when Eragon vouched for him after the war ended.

#19- Zinnia:

Selena's favorite flower was the zinnia, because it was the plant she first saw Brom tend to in Morzan's gardens.

#20- Vanish:

Morzan frowned, it seemed as if Brom had just disappeared from the map(he should have checked his own backyard)

#21- Inevitable:

Murtagh looked down at the tiny red dragon and wondered how he ever could have thought he had escaped his father's shadow.

#22-Abrasive:

Brom had perfected the art of getting under Morzan's skin, so really, anybody else was child's play.

#23- Reverence:

When they was younger, Brom had thought Morzan was almost godlike.

#24- Foreshadowed:

Eragon looked on in horror as Saphira fell to the ground, with Thorn's claws and teeth coated in her blood.

#25- Corpse:

"You really are your father's son", Eragon rasped through his tears to the mangled corpse of his (friendbrothercompanion) enemy.

There will be more of these coming. I'm not sure how many I'm going to do, but there should be at least four 'chapters' by the time I'm done.
