Summary
"So he was not ashamed of his preference in lovers. He was not. He had known his preference since his early teens, perhaps earlier, and he had acted upon it to the satisfaction of himself and his partners, and he was not ashamed. Tevinter was ashamed. His parents were ashamed. Dorian was not ashamed. Not about this."
Or: Dorian has always known who he is and what he wants. Knowing has never made it easier. Also, he doesn't really know.

Of Course We Do by AnAbundanceofStilinskis (Horribibble), Elpie (Horribibble)

Summary
“So you enjoy your coffee black, then?”
No. He does not. Cullen would be perfectly content with a cup of hot chocolate. It reminds him of family and joy and all of the things this job sucks out of him.
Dorian, on the other hand, has a taste for liquid death—the darkest roast available—and Cullen adapts as always.
Cullen forces a smile. “I do.”

Summary
The Qunari meets his gaze and has the gall to smirk, tilting his head curiously, just as Dorian had imagined he'd done earlier. It's frustratingly attractive. "There was some holding down." Not enough. "And struggling." Objectionable. "We can work on the ripping off clothes, though. I just thought you'd be mad if I did."
Dorian huffs. "I did not struggle."
"You did a lot of squirming."
"That - That doesn't count."
Bulls eyebrows furrow, and he sits back in the bed with a new expression Dorian dare might describe as concern. "And what do you think counts?"

second, third and hundredth chances by artemine for littlemachines
Fandoms: Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age: Inquisition
22 Jan 2022
Tags
Summary
Their eyes met, like they had a million times before, like they had for years.
Some things were new. Dorian was absently twisting a ring that wasn’t there, the skin of his finger slightly red where a discreet rose golden band used to be. Cullen was nursing an apple juice on the rocks. And yet, some things would never change. Whether they were new recruits excited to visit every hotel the airline had to offer or 20 years into their career, a 10 hours layover to operate the last flight from Denerim to Orlais and the first back to Denerim in the morning was never enough for them to get any rest. They had always met in the quiet of the night, away from hotel rooms they didn’t use, at the 24/7 bar, a moment that was just theirs.

Confessions of the Coldest Kind by OpalApparition

Summary
“If we die down here, I’m blaming you.”
Their dying fire hissed and spat, its light barely holding back the press of the ice-covered stone walls. More frost crept in every minute, marching jagged veins that threatened to swallow the Old Temple whole. Dorian sat with his knees drawn close, his hands hovering over the struggling flames. His teeth chattered, and his breath curled in thin, white clouds before vanishing into the stale, unmoving air. Solas sat across from him, his posture stiff, his face half-lit by the flickering light, arms locked against his chest, guarding against both cold and conversation.
Dorian glared at him through the thin rising smoke.
Solas didn’t look up. "A curious insistence on assigning blame, considering our shared predicament."
TL;DR: Freezing to death has its advantages—like never having to face the consequences of what you just admitted to your least favorite companion.

Summary
You ever watched two mabari circling each other, all raised hackles and bared teeth, neither willing to be the first to back down? That’s what it was like when those two met. Commander Cullen Rutherford, Fereldan to the bone, a former Templar who’d spent half his life bracing for the next magical catastrophe, and Dorian Pavus, a Tevinter noble who wielded magic like a second skin and arrogance like a well-tailored cloak. The two were like oil and fire, and let me tell you, neither had any interest in mixing.
-Excerpt from notes of Varric Tethras from his time in the Inquisition.

Growing into Love by Quillful (QuillfulWriter)

Summary
Dorian, Bull, and Zevran started with a physical relationship. Now, Zevran wanted to join them in romance as well. Dorian needed to be talked with first. As expected. Being newer to romance, Bull had fewer scars on his heart from the act than the poor Tevene mage. Zevran didn't mind getting him to see it was genuine!

If I ever return to Minrathous by orphan_account

Summary
This is Inquisition rewritten from Dorian's POV, twisting Bioware's "own canon" (canon compliant in outcomes and decisions, but not necessarily in their delivery). The Inquisitor is Female Lavellan romancing Solas, but this relationship develops in the background, influencing Dorian's friendship with the Inquisitor. Among other things, I'd like to include a lore-building arc including Dagna and M!Trevelyan OC that will also, hopefully, touch the topics of Cole's nature and Solas's revelations.
