Thank you for all the lovely reviews! I hope this one meets the standards =)

#26- Shelter:

"Well, at least it's better than staying out in the rain", Brom told an irritated Morzan from the safety of their hollowed out tree.

#27- Starfish:

Seeing Brom's face as he cut off the arm of his starfish, Morzan explained, "Starfish always grow back kiddo; they're tough like that."

#28- Bastard:

Eragon called Murtagh a bastard once, which only prompted the response; "No, my parents were actually married, unlike those of some people I know."

#29- Bareback:

When Brom told Morzan that he was going to try riding Saphira bareback, the elder's only response was a somewhat sadistic grin and an offhand 'good luck'.

#30- Dance:

"Brom, how do you expect to learn how to dance when you don't let me- I never said tha- alright, fine, but I'm still going to lead- look, it's just for one less- what do you mean I'm girl- just because I know how to dan- shut up, it's not that long- well your the one with the female drag-there is nothing pink about Kievka!"

#31-Grotesque:

The first time Eragon saw Murtagh's scar, he thought it was grotesque; Murtagh had a similar reaction to his little brother's new ears.

#32- Mirror:

"We're mirror images of each other, you know it to be true", a smirking Morzan told a horrified Brom.

#33- Marionette:

'It's funny', Eragon thought numbly, 'how much his body resembles a puppet with it's strings cut (but wasn't that all he ever was?).'

#34- Heartbroken:

In spite of common belief, Selena did love her husband dearly, but she hated him as well (where are you taking my baby?)- when she died, she wasn't sure which emotion was stronger(she wasn't the only one, either)

#35- Brother:

Years before Galbatorix lost his dragon, two young boys cut slits in their thumbs and pressed them together, letting the blood mix.

#36-Ownership:

Zar'roc has had many owners: there was the first one who was sly and arrogant, he was the one who the sword was intended to- there was also the hollow man, with the gruff voice and the bitter heart; by far the strangest was the young boy with the carefree laugh(didn't he know that this was misery he was holding? and all that blue...) , but Zar'roc felt that his latest wielder was the true owner, despite not being the one who named him(it had a feeling that this boy knew that, and that the fact made him even more miserable, which, of course, was why they fit so well in the first place).

#37- Fragile:

'Familial bonds', Murtagh mused,'are not nearly so resilient as many would have you believe.'

#38- Genuine:

"I'm sorry", the man whispered to the unmarked headstone.

#39-Bittersweet:

The grave remained silent, but apparently the man understood what it was trying to say, because he smiled bitterly and made his way back down the hill.

#40- Far Fetched:

When Morzan told Brom about Galbatorix's promise to make the riders pay for not allowing him a new dragon, the latter just rolled his eyes and told his friend not to worry(after all, what could one man possibly do?)

#41-Paternal:

Morzan wasn't quite sure what to feel when he saw his newborn son for the first time, so he settled on indifference (surely such a loud, pink, thing couldn't have been his); When Brom saw his son for the first time, he wasn't sure how to feel either, but settled on something like affection(if he couldn't be the boys father, he could at least be his teacher).

#42- Knives:

When Brom asked Morzan why he was always throwing knives when he could have just as easily used magic, the other just told him that magic required more energy, and that knife throwing was cooler anyways(eventually, he got good enough to throw his sword at a moving object while drunk and not miss).

#43- Human:

"It's not your fault she died, Eragon, you couldn't have done anything", Murtagh told the unmoving figure("you're only human, after all" was left unsaid, but both of them heard it anyway).

#44- Self Control:

Murtagh was proud of his ability to keep his head in any given situation- as long as said situation didn't involve certain members of his mother's family.

#45-Intoxicated:

To be fair, there was no way of knowing that the first thing Roran and Murtagh would do after Eragon introduced them was to go drinking together- and there was certainly no way he could have foreseen them getting getting drunk enough to start dancing on the tables while singing lewd sea shanties, start a rather large bar fight involving most of the other patrons, and get themselves permanently banned from the premise... on the upside, the experience was the start of a beautiful friendship.

#46-Kindness:

When Brom came into his room and crawled into his bed after a nightmare, Morzan only rolled over and grumbled something about ten-year-old blanket hogs while resolutely ignoring Kievka's mental 'awww'.

#47- Déjá vu:

Eragon swallowed as he ducked a red sword, and couldn't help but be reminded of simpler times, when the opponent was just his companion, and the red dragon above them was still in his egg.

#48-Logical:

Brom shook his head, Morzan couldn't have joined Galbatorix, it just didn't make any sense!

#49-Forgiveness:

It took some time, but eventually Eragon and Murtagh were able to forgive each other(turns out that there was nothing to forgive).

#50- Armistice:

"Happy Armistice Day 'Tag", Eragon murmured to the man lying beside him as they watched their dragons fly in circles overhead; the only reply he got was a lackadaisical smile, which, oddly enough, looked perfectly at home on the elder rider's face.
