Mentor

Title: Mentor
Author: Uisgich
Pairing: Brom/Eragon
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: They aren't mine, I'm just playing with them for a while.
Warnings: None
Notes: A necessary flashback in what's become a small series of fics which began with Guardian and continued with Friend which were originally inspired by a scene towards the end of the movie. Brom is most definitely Movie Brom as portrayed by Jeremy Irons.

Eragon sat close to Brom and continued with his questions, becoming bolder with each one.

“This?” Eragon reached out and touched Brom’s hair.

Brom told him the ancient word, his steady gaze hiding the surprise he felt at the young rider’s touch.

“This?” Eragon’s hand trembled as his finger traced the edge of Brom’s ear.

Brom told him that also, a husky edge to his voice.

“These?” Eragon’s fingertips brushed Brom’s lips and the older man stilled, silent for a moment as he studied Eragon’s face, now so close to his.

“Ask me again.” For all his youth, Eragon had proved to be a self assured young man, and Brom was curious as to how bold that would make him here.

Eragon swallowed and licked his lips nervously, not knowing why he felt compelled to take their naming game further and not understanding the feelings that were racing through him just as heated as the blood that pounded through his veins. Before he could change his mind, he placed his lips on Brom’s, his eyes flying wide open at the spark that ignited inside him. Brom stayed perfectly still, parting his lips only as Eragon increased the pressure on them. At the soft press of Brom’s tongue, Eragon opened his mouth and let his mentor in with a small groan, reaching out with his hands, wanting more contact. But before they could become entangled, Brom broke away and sat back.

“I think you have learnt enough for today. We both need rest if we are to press on in the morning.”

Eragon wanted to protest, wanted more, wanted … well he wasn’t sure what he wanted, but he didn’t want to stop now.

“You play with fire.” He heard Saphia’s voice in his head. “Take care that it does not burn you.”

Eragon blushed all the way down to his toes at the idea that Saphia could know his thoughts. It made it easier for him to curl up alone on his bedroll, keeping his gaze from wandering in Brom’s direction as he tried to force himself to sleep.

Brom stared into the flames of their camp fire, unused to the urges that Eragon had re-awoken in him. He had kept to himself for many years, distrustful of others and unwilling to let anyone get close to him but now? That Eragon could see him as more than a mentor amazed him, and the only thing he knew for sure was that if he hurt the lad, he would face a dragon’s retribution. He snorted softly to himself. And how fitting that would be. Grim memories helped him push away musings on how Eragon would feel in his arms, and lay watching the fire die down to embers before he fially succumbed to sleep.

Aw, Brom. He's lovely, and I like Eragon's boldness.

*happy sigh*

Finally some Eragon slash, I've been waiting for that already. Very nice, I like to see Eragon as the bold explorer. And Saphira will be priceless, I am sure.

More please?

yes, bookverse saphira's voice tended to appear in eragon's thought a lot during his more *cough* private moments. brom would know, if anyone, about how that works. thanks for playing with this 'verse, and all those little slashy inferences they downplayed but couldn't quite remove... and for writing another one.

It's an interesting universe to write in. I recently rewatched the movie and got the urge to finish this little arc that I started after the first time I saw it. So there will be more :) Thanks for reading!

This is the first fic about these two. I just love it!

[identity profile] uisgich.livejournal.com 2007-05-16 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I did it as a background to a slowly ongoing Eragon/Murtagh story, and wasn't sure if I was going to expand any further on what happened between Eragon and Brom, but I think I will, somewhere down the line :)

This is good, are You going to continue? I like slash stories with Brom in them.

Please, please, PLEASE write some more. Please :)

May I ask if you could suggest any other Eragon/Brom stories because I haven't seen many...

Weeeee, i love Brom/Eragon stories but there are hardly any, I've found this and one other, that's it. It's rather upsetting.

So i've begun writing my own brom/eragon story, out of desperation and well, because i haven't written a fanfic in a few weeks and I decided to switch to something out of my usual Jack/Barbossa, Sirius/Lupin stuff. :)

Anyway, I adore this story it's great! Write more, we need more! :D xoxox
