    Yes!! I agree with you on the codependent Murtagh thoughts. Legitimately wanted to throw popcorn at my book when Murtagh accused Nasuada of trying to make him her attic husband.

    No babes, that’s what YOU would do if you continued to work with Galbatorix and had a problematic love interest. Nasuada is offering you a discreet situationship and to damage control your PR until your romance can go public bc she has boundaries

    Eragon, however, in this fic is offering Murtagh everything because he had NO boundaries even before being Traumatized (moreso than before) by Galbatorix. Idk I just love this pairing because they are Freak (unashamedly browsing the porn section in Galbatorix’s library for research purposes in this fic, enthusiastically and openly only displays interest in older, experienced women in canon) for Freak (closeted, fantasy!Catholic whose deepest, darkest canon fantasy is of a) female love interest complimenting him and offering unconditional love like mommy did and b) D/s relationship with his estranged brother) in such equal but opposing ways

      PLEASE the “attic husband” accusation is so insane because it really is just murtagh telling on himself like 😭 my guy why is that your first assumption. what kind of business model are YOU running

      BUT are we even surprised. this is the man whose canonical ideas of romance include bludgeoning his love interest over the head with a sword and kidnapping her via dragon to be enslaved and tortured (by him!) and who also fantasized about ruling the kingdom with her as his name slave just like papa did with mama… like his idea of courtship is CRIME and we are meant to think he is ok 👍

      and then he turns around and is suspicious of everyone else’s intentions like. oh so NOW we’re concerned about manipulation and coercion. fascinating. incredible. groundbreaking self-awareness happening here

      CLOSETED FANTASY CATHOLIC i love your mind

      eragon is just like “i think love is beautiful and i would like to experience it :) anyway here is my body, my soul, my loyalty, my future, my dragon, and also my last brain cell“ and murtagh is short-circuiting with a massive erection as if he hasn’t personally participated in every single step leading directly to it

      no one is doing it like them. truly
