Summary
Can someone who participated in systematic oppression ever truly change?
A for-fun fanwork research essay and deep dive into Cullen Rutherford's transformation from zealot to love interest exploring how one of Dragon Age's more controversial figures got a happily ever after, with analysis of his arc across Origins through Inquisition, comparisons against other characters, and what it reveals about who gets, or even needs, forgiveness in fiction.

Summary
"He felt a pang of guilt when she said that. Her pointed ears and the vallaslin that snaked their way across her olive skin would already have made her a target for many humans. The fact that she was also a mage, at another time that would have even made her a target to him. He hated that. He hated who he had been."
This is the slow burn love story of Cullen Rutherford and Renna Lavellan, a Dalish mage and old friend of the Inquisitor. He's trapped in the past, and she can't bear to look back. They'll both have to face their pasts before they can build a future.
This takes place during the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, and features the same Inquisitor as my other fic "Something More".
Tbh, I wrote this entire fic because I had a vision, and that vision was for a Dalish apostate to ride Cullen's templar dick. Unfortunately I am insane, so instead of just writing some one-off smut I spent thirteen chapters building up a slowburn romance before they finally smash. Enjoy, ya freaks!

Summary
ON HIATUS?
I'm pretty sure I will finish this before I pass away from old age, because I've been circling back to these two every eighteen months or so for a decade and I have hundreds of thousands of words down, I just keep adjusting plot points and throwing everything off. But old age is still a fair way off, so... maybe don't read unless you just love an unfinished WIP.
***
Alena and Cullen are unexpectedly thrown back together in the wake of the Conclave. But in the thick of war, the tangled mess of their histories is hard to reconcile.
Everybody's trauma is being laboriously worked through! Also a little plot, a little politics, a little porn. Anti-Templar Order but pretty pro-Templars; some minor canon divergence; freely tossing out the lore when it suits me.
The previous fic in this series, An Unmarked Place, sets up the preexisting relationship between Alena and Cullen. It's not too long and this probably won't make a ton of sense without it.
Will update tags as we go along and drop trigger warnings in the notes when the tough stuff comes up.

Summary
Following the events at Adamant Fortress, Inquisitor Anaia Trevelyan is desperate to give her people a moment of distraction. Satinalia, or as it’s called in Ferelden, Feast Day, is swiftly approaching and Ana thinks it’s the perfect opportunity to uplift the people of the Inquisition’s spirits. Despite the resistance of her commander, Ana requests of her advisors that no expense be spared as Skyhold is decorated and a grand feast prepared. But that’s not all, as Satinalia is Ana’s favorite holiday, she also asks for a night of singing at the Herald’s Rest—including a duet with said commander—sleigh rides and gift exchanges. The Feast Day spirit isn’t the only thing in the air as romance dares to finally bloom between a certain mage and a certain strapping young templar.
Come join Skyhold for some holiday inspired fluff and fun!

Summary
A gritty romance that explores themes of religious trauma, pride, prejudices, etc... between Cullen Rutherford, our traumatized ex-templar and our reluctant (and also traumatized) Inquisitor, Roselyn Trevelyan. We are flying by the seat of our pants, so maybe one day we'll get a better description.

Like A Violin's Bow by CleverBlackCat

Summary
"Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two separate strings." -Rainer Maria Rilke-Welcome to my version of a mage Trevelyan/Cullen pairing. This story will be based mostly during the events of the Inquisition, without touching too much on in-game quests and as such, it will not quite be a literal retelling of the game story line.
Expect a generous sprinkling of world-building, in particular the Ostwick Circle, and a cast of well-developed characters.
Told from the POV of my Inquisitor Loryen, a musician whose soft and kind nature is at odds with the demands of the Inquisition, and of our beloved Commander Cullen - without a doubt my favorite DA character to write - who discovers he doesn't have to punish himself forever for the errors of his past.
PLEASE NOTE THAT AS OF 2025, THIS FIC IS NOT ABANDONED, JUST PAUSED. Currently revising the already written but not yet published chapters, in the hope I can resume updates more regularly soon.
As always, thank you to anyone reading this! It's a labour of love! <3
