Summary
"I thought I wasn't to be watched by templars," said Anders without any greeting or preamble.
Which did surprisingly nothing to ruffle the seeker. No, Cassandra did not appear all that put out yet. If anything she seemed to have expected this protest, or as her slight judgemental frown indicated, she had more accurately expected this tantrum. "Guard Langlois is not a templar," she said with a nod to the young man.
"Ah, that makes it alright then," Anders rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "It's a detail and you know it."
A sigh. Cassandra visibly clenched her jaw, then spoke as though what she had to say next was scorching her tongue. "Varric advised it."
_
The Inquisition gets off to a rough start while Anders gets to know the inhabitants of Haven.
It all goes as well as can be expected.Series

Summary
Commander Cullen Rutherford has spent years learning to separate duty from desire, but watching Cordelia Trevelyan bear the weight of being the Herald of Andraste is testing every oath he's ever sworn. As the Inquisition grows from desperate hope into true power, Cullen finds himself caught between his duty to protect her and feelings he never expected to have—not for a mage, not after everything he's been through. After Kirkwall, after the templars, after everything—he never thought he'd find himself falling for a mage. But Cordelia Trevelyan is making him question everything he thought he knew about duty, faith, and what it means to truly serve.
But when the fate of the world hangs in the balance, perhaps the greatest risk isn't the ancient magister seeking godhood, but learning to trust someone with your heart.A slow burn through the events of Inquisition, seen through the eyes of a man learning that some vows are worth breaking.

Summary
Modern AU: Events of Dragon Age II and Dragon Age Inquisition, without Corypheus around.
When Solas woke up, he was dead-set to go along with his plan. Particularly after three Dalish clans told him off, and he settled in Kirkwall, only to discover that the city was caught in a political war about whether to reinstall a Circle of Magi, after centuries since the Chantry declared them abolished.
Everything changed when he took pity on two stranded children, and decided to get his plan on pause. An orb in the back of his office, an annoying dwarf mocking him in his house, he postponed everything until Aisling and Dorian would be grown up and had lived a long life.Things won't probably go according to plan.

Summary
A Templar and a mage begin as enemies and become lovers.
What a scandal, what a cliché!
Inquisition Commander Cullen Rutherford knows he's falling for the fiery Dalish mage who emerged from the smoking ruin of the Grand Conclave as
hisThe Herald of Andraste, and that presents a problem for him. Well, several problems:Does he believe she was chosen by the Maker to fight a holy war? How could he possibly act on his feelings for her knowing they may be driven by something darker than desire and not wholly his own? While knowing that his choice to free himself from lyrium will likely kill him sooner rather than later?
Could she ever see him as more than the childhood monster who hunted her people to the brink of extinction? Would she still want him if she knew of his past? Would he deserve her love if she gave it to him?
What must they sacrifice to be with each other?
What must they sacrifice to save the world?UPDATED WEEKLY (ish)

Summary
“He’s here!”
When the Inquisition comes to Redcliffe, Teon Wystan finds himself having to confront his complicated past with Ewan Trevelyan.

Teon’s rekindled friendship with the Herald of Andraste dramatically alters his life and suddenly he is put in the path of Commander Cullen Rutherford. A former Templar, at first they find little common ground, but perhaps their shared experiences can bridge the gap and pull them closer together. It does, more than either of them thought possible.

Summary
Soon, another birthday trapped inside the walls of the Circle will come and go.

Summary
The conclave was supposed to bring peace.
Instead, there is only death, destruction, a hole in the sky and a mark she doesn't understand burning on her palm.
Lyria Trevelyan has only ever wanted freedom, safety, a quiet life where her magic wasn't seen as a curse. But with the Temple of Sacred Ashes destroyed, that hope seems farther away than ever. As the only survivor, the Chantry condemns her as a heretic and probable murderer, pilgrims believe her Andraste's herald come to save them and the late Divine's fledgling Inquisition looks to her to seal the breach.
The entire world is counting on her, but Lyria knows she is no hero, not strong or brave.
Except, maybe, just maybe, she's wrong.

Summary
The Chantry has told many lies. Theresa Trevelyan is merely one of them. They called her a heretic first, then a savior, then a prophet. She rejects the myth they've made of her life and her suffering. But more than this, she resents their erasure of the truth behind her rise to power. You think you know the story of the Herald of Andraste? Now you will hear the truth. With a little help from Thedas's favorite serial author, of course.
This is Part Two of my Reprises and Reprisals series, but I have done my best to make it accessible if you'd rather start here instead. Part One covers the game's beginning up through In Your Heart Shall Burn. Part Two is intended to cover early Skyhold up through the end of the base game (DLC and Trespasser to come in Part Three).

Summary
This is part of an ongoing series: CHARON'S OBOL; this is chapter one of FRAGMENTS OF KIRKWALL, set during the events of DA:II.
The aim of this series is to write a better character arc for one Cullen Rutherford, who, despite a confusing amount of fandom love, has an arc across three games that isn't wholly coherent or consistent. Parts of this series may appear with other POV characters, and usually will be written within the context of a specific quest or part of the game in question's arc.
Finally, this series is written with a female circle mage Grey Warden, Iðunn Amell. An additional OC, Ser Griseldis of Starkhaven and Kirkwall, also plays a large role in the entries to this series.

Summary
This was far from the first time he'd found himself in the dreams of another, but most other times he'd been able to escape quickly and without notice. Now, that didn't seem possible, and there were few people whose attention he wanted to draw less than the Knight-Comnander's.

Summary
“I’m keeping you safe,” Cullen said, his voice rough, and she licked her lips.
“Safety means nothing without freedom,” Solona shot back, her own voice trembling with emotion. Seemingly unconsciously, she leaned closer to him.
“And freedom means nothing if you get this circle annulled,” he replied. He had the sense that neither of them was paying any attention to the conversation.
