150 years prior to the birth of the legendary Will Treaty, Araluen is a dangerous place to live. Northern wars are going badly for the Araluen forces, made worse by their internal power struggles. A young Prince Anthony is sent to the front lines, but along the way, he meets the men that will become the first-ever Araluen Rangers.

Warning: I wrote this when I was twelve or so. Do not expect wonderfully-developed characters, don't shout at me for overused tropes and clichés, and for the love of Gorlog, PLEASE understand that I know it's not great.

DISCLAIMER: While I can credit myself with the majority of the characters themselves, the original idea for this world and its plot events are the work of John Flanagan. I recommend reading the Ranger's Apprentice series before this.

Shadow of a Shade by A_Stressed_Author
32 parts Complete
Addiane found her life to be comfortable enough. She may not have known her family, but she was fed and taken care of by those she lived with. She rarely feared for her life, and she was being taught valuable life lessons by those around her. Of course, training to be a Dragon Rider under the Shadeslayer himself, the first proper Rider in a long time, was a major bonus. Addiane wouldn't have thought she'd ever want to leave their little haven. Her curiosity simply got the better of her when Eragon's cousin made a plea for assistance, describing terrifying marauders and bowmen whose aim had been blessed by gods. And of course there was the man who rode the red dragon. Addiane had to know more about him, and about what was going on in the mountains that Eragon Shadeslayer had once called home. She really didn't know what she was getting into. *I DON'T OWN THE RANGERS APPRENTICE SERIES/ACCOMPANYING BOOKS OR THE INHERITANCE CYCLE, I JUST REALLY LOOK UP TO JOHN FLANAGAN AND CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI*
The High Queen of Narnia by ACourtOfStories
32 parts Complete
Do you ever feel like you were born into the wrong world? Because that is exactly how Elodie Penvensie felt. Her twin brother Peter, and the rest of her younger siblings never understood her. In fact, they used to distance themselves from her quite a bit, seeing as Elodie's nose was always in a book, dreaming about the fantastical worlds she wished she was born into. And sometimes, wishes come true. Elodie's did when her youngest sister, Lucy, found herself walking through the wardrobe and into a land covered in snow. And for a moment, her life was perfect. It was everything she could've ever wanted. But all good moments must come to an end as they accidentally left the magical kingdom of Narnia. But when they're finally summoned back to face an army by the likes of which they'd never seen before, Aslan's words ring true. Nothing happens the same way twice. Because this time, they're given aid by Prince Caspian, the Tenth. And Elodie has never met someone so similar to her and yet so different in her entire lifetime, both in and outside of Narnia. So join Elodie on the adventure of a lifetime. Join her in Narnia, because Narnia has missed their High Queen. #1 in chroniclesofnarnia #3 in reepicheep #9 in eustace #9 in whitewitch #10 in thelionthewitchandthewardrobe #12 in princecaspian #22 in lucypenvensie #30 in peterpenvensie #36 in edmundpenvensie #42 in narnia (Prince Caspian - Voyage of the Dawn Treader) (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or plotlines.

...𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯... During a peaceful era in Araluen, a message arrived from Skandia suggesting that the famous treaty was now becoming unstable. Realizing that this may require more than just Ranger skill, Halt and Will asked Lady Pauline and Alyss, as well as one young knight, to come along for this special mission. Upon their arrival, they face the uncertainties of war, and the treacherous ways of traitors.

A while after the events of Nihon Ja... The adventures are only just beginning. Will and Alyss have just settled down into life after their marriage when Will is suddenly forced away on a mission of great danger from his past. When something goes horribly wrong, no one seems to be able to help him... Except for Alyss.

The Innkeeper by TheGoodShip
11 parts Complete
In an insignificant corner of Araluen sits an inn run by a man named Samuel. After the war against Morgarath he returned home only to find a wreck of what he once had. Disheartened by the turn of events far from in his favor, he must learn how to get by. When a Ranger visits his life is turned upside-down. Suddenly he's caught in the middle of action when all he wanted was peace and quiet, his humble village in danger, and only he can save it. -- Trigger/content warning for a little bit of blood/gore and self-sacrificial feelings. I didn't go too far with either because I cannot handle gore or want to make you upset, just enough for the plot. If you've read Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice or Brotherband Chronicles (both for tweens and without any TW's that I know of) and been okay, you should be perfectly fine here.
