Everyone talks about the main characters, but the minor pairings have all the weird charm. I once read a hilarious and oddly sweet fic about Elva and Solembum as adults, causing chaos. Also, the idea of Brom and Selena before everything fell apart—those tragic, historical one-shots can hit harder than any epic romance. The fandom's small, but it digs deep into the lore for inspiration.

Honestly, most folks go straight for the obvious ones, which can be a bit limiting. Sure, Eragon/Arya has the canon tension and is huge for a reason, but after a few hundred 'will they won't they' fics, I started looking elsewhere. The dynamic between Murtagh and Nasuada post-'Inheritance' is criminally underexplored in published work, so fanfic steps in. Authors get to deconstruct that fraught alliance, the shared trauma, the weight of leading a broken nation—it's meatier ground for character study than pure romance sometimes.
Then you've got the weirder, fun stuff in the gaps. I stumbled on a shockingly good Roran/Jeod series once that was all about the quiet, domestic strain of rebuilding Carvahall, with Jeod as a sort of weary mentor. It wasn't a ship I ever considered, but it felt true to the world. The slash pairings, like Eragon/Murtagh for the angsty brother drama or even Orik/Hrothgar for some truly niche dwarf politics, have their own dedicated corners. Don't sleep on the genfic either; Brom's first journey with the Riders or Angela's mysterious past get standalone tales that are just as gripping as any pairing.

Gotta say, I'm a simple reader. Eragon and Saphira's bond is the heart of the whole series for me, so I often seek out fics that deepen that, not as a romantic thing obviously, but as the central relationship. That said, for actual pairings, Arya and Fîrnen is a fascinating angle I've seen a few times—exploring how a new Rider, especially an elf queen, rebuilds an order from scraps. It's more about legacy than love.
Murtagh and Thorn is another brilliant one. Their shared captivity, the forced bonding, the road to healing... fics that tackle that from Thorn's perspective are rare but absolutely wrenching. It's less 'shipping' in the traditional sense and more exploring a symbiotic relationship forged in hell. You find those in the hurt/comfort tags, usually with fantastic character voices.

Ciara had one job: secure her engagement to the Alpha's heir. She failed.
Rejected at the mating ball and left to freeze in the snow by her own father, she's saved by the last person she expected—Draven Stormclaw, the notorious bastard son everyone fears.
His price for her rescue? Marriage.
He claims he wants the scandal. A way to humiliate the brother who cast her aside. But the way he looks at her—the careful touches, the fierce protection, the warmth hidden beneath his cold reputation—tells a different story.
As Ciara is pulled deeper into Draven's dangerous world, she begins to suspect he's hiding something. That his reasons for saving her run far deeper than revenge.
But with her eighteenth birthday approaching—the day she'll finally sense her true mate—time is running out for secrets.
Because some bonds are written in the stars.
And some are forged in snow and desperation.

Excerpt; Mate!” I placed a shocked hand over my mouth. I hadn't intended to blurt that out, but it had just happened. My wolf had just growled that out.
Aaron was my mate? So he had not been lying when he’d said I was his mate? This was the strangest thing to have ever happened to me. I had no idea how to respond, I sat still, watching him.
“Finally, you agree too.” His face was blanketed in some emotions that had something within my chest moving funny.
“I…I…” I swallowed, my gaze transfixed on him, in his eyes, unable to look anywhere else. His sterling grey eyes staring as though they could see through my soul.
He drew nearer, I felt my body leaning towards him too. And in seconds our lips had locked on each other’s. Fire exploded in my mouth down to the other parts of my body.
I wound my arm around his neck, taking the kiss deeper. Even within the confines of the car where body contact was limited, I was still feeling the flame of attraction burning me up greedily, eating away at my resistance and rationality.
His thumb trailed over my breast, the moan that escaped my lips was involuntary and the liquid pull below my stomach grew intense.
Abruptly, he broke off the kiss, our lips were a swollen evidence of what had happened. “Let me take you inside.”
Humiliated for almost all her life and then thrown out of the pack she had grown to call home, she didn't expect that fate could ever smile at her. Once a taunted girl, now an Alpha's stepdaughter. What more does fate have in stall for her?
"Hey mate! Wanna play?"
We read so often of a time when dragons fought and ruled with their mates by their side, how the dragon found his mate… but nobody seems to wonder; where it all began, what if I told you; that there was a time when the great Archdragons had no mates.
Is the suspense burning within you?
In the second installment of Perrin and Lo's journey, the unsolved riddle of Jesamine and her father continue to unravel. What are Jesamine's true intentions? Will Perrin succeed as the Alpha Select and stop the threatening attacks against his pack? Will Lo and his relationship endure the strains of his coming child with an ex-lover?
Chased by Sorin through neon-lit Vegas, Dawn’s uncontrolled light magic crackles in desperation. She slips past the ward that hides a magical realm and crashes into the Black Pistons motorcycle club’s territory. The club is led by twin alpha dragons, Riku and Rain, who have vowed against mating. Dawn’s arrival ignites an unexpected bond: Riku flirts, teasing her with warmth and guidance, while Rain, the colder brother, distances himself despite an undeniable draw. Offered shelter and protection, Dawn steps into a world of dragonfire and the shadow of a dark wizard who promises safety if she stops running.
Rain’s distrust of Dawn’s magic leads him to impose strict rules while Riku encourages her to explore her power. Sorin infiltrates the ward, probing defenses and leaving Dawn shaken. A midnight ride under desert stars ends with an almost-kiss as Riku’s warmth contrasts Rain’s questions that reveal his inner conflict. During a training session Riku teaches her to channel light magic through touch, sparking an intimate moment abruptly interrupted by Sorin’s attack. As dreams twist under Malachar’s promises, Dawn finds herself torn between the twins’ opposing teachings when Rain, rescues her from danger.
Jealousy and desire fracture their trio when Dawn admits to a bond with both brothers. Riku’s teasing hides tender devotion, while Rain’s hesitation dissolves as he tends to her wounds with touches. In a moonlit orchard their passion ignites until Rain’s sudden arrival sparks tension. Malachar’s emissary breaches the ward bearing a sigil, forcing the twins and Dawn into battle. Dragonfire and light magic merge in a display of unity that scatters their foe. In the aftermath adrenaline fuels an moment where neither brother claims her outright, their unclaimed bond shimmering with danger and undeniable promise.
Trying to pin down the 'best' is tricky because it really depends on what you're after. If you're deep into Eragon/Arya or even some of the weirder Murtagh/Nasuada stuff, Archive of Our Own has tagging systems that are a godsend for filtering. You can sort by kudos or bookmarks, which usually surfaces the well-loved ones.
I've found some absolute gems there that never got much traction on fanfiction.net, which feels like it's got a lot of older, abandoned fics. The AO3 crowd seems to write with a bit more polish, maybe because the audience is older. But honestly, I still check both; sometimes an author cross-posts, and the comment sections are totally different vibes. The forum on Shurtugal.com used to be the place, but it's a ghost town now—shame, because some epic novel-length stuff started there.
My recent favorite is a 'what if Saphira hatched for Murtagh' saga that's over 200k words. Found it purely by sorting AO3 by word count and then checking the bookmarks of authors I already liked. That method works better than any 'best of' list for me.
Man, I practically live for this stuff. Honestly, it's less about finding a single perfect site and more about matching the vibe of the specific ship you're chasing. For the huge, ongoing pairings like those in 'My Hero Academia' or 'Jujutsu Kaisen', Archive of Our Own (AO3) is unbeatable for its tagging system. You can filter out everything you don't want and dive right into 50k words of mutual pining. The quality varies wildly, but the sheer volume means you'll find gold.
If you're after a more community-driven feel, where you can chat in the comments and watch authors update in real time, I still have a soft spot for FanFiction.net. It's clunky and the moderation is a mess, but there's a certain nostalgia to scrolling through pages of Naruto/Sasuke fics from the late 2000s. Tumblr is weirdly essential for visual moodboards, headcanon threads, and those brilliant, short character-study fics that never get posted elsewhere. You kind of have to curate your own experience there, though.
Don't sleep on fandom-specific forums or Discords either. For older anime or super niche pairings, that's often where the dedicated authors huddle. I found the best 'Fullmetal Alchemist' Roy/Ed fic in a forgotten corner of a forum ten years after the manga ended. It's a scavenger hunt, but that's half the fun.
Well, for my money, the real engine in a lot of 'Fire & Blood' fic is the Rhaenyra and Alicent dynamic. It’s less about romance in the sugary sense and more about a lifetime of twisted affection, betrayal, and shared history. They're the cornerstone of the Dance, obviously, but fic writers dig into the 'what if' of their girlhood friendship souring into that lifelong feud. You get these intense, often bitter slow-burn stories about power, motherhood, and regret, where the line between hatred and obsession is paper-thin.
A bit more niche but consistently popular is Daemon and Rhaenyra. Uncle-niece stuff is baked into Targaryen lore, but their specific blend of chaotic mentorship, mutual ambition, and sheer volatility is catnip for writers who like their pairings fiery and morally grey. It’s a power couple that feels destined to burn everything down, together.
Surprisingly, I've seen a real uptick in fics centered on Cregan Stark and Jacaerys Velaryon. That winter in Winterfell pact has sparked a whole subgenre of Stark honor meets southern intrigue, often with a side of political marriage and quietly intense loyalty. It’s a quieter, more solemn ship compared to the fiery Targaryen dramas, but it hits a specific note of duty and found family that really resonates.
