   Summary

   Cullen finds himself back in Kirkwall once again, and struggles with several things - how to stop Meredith's mad rampage, how to get out from under the choking grip of his lyrium leash, and how to make sure Hawke doesn't get his sodding arse caught or killed before he can become Champion again.

   A sort of fix-it fic, where some things go better but most stay the same, because this is Kirkwall here.
