Summary
Tl;dr: Cassandra investigates what happened at Kinloch Hold during the 5th blight, and finds herself caught up trying to help a troubled templar named Cullen Rutherford.
With the Seeker's resources stretched thin in the aftermath of the 5th blight, Divine Beatrix gives Cassandra permission to return to the Seekers full time to lend her skills to their cause. Her first field mission in ten years is investigating the Ferelden circle alongside Seeker Adderly, a cold and calculating man with little love for mages. Their mission is to investigate how Uldred's rebellion came to be and ensure it never happens again, helping the survivors deal with the aftermath of the hell they all lived through to make the Circle safe for mages and Templars alike. Their mission is anything but straightforward, especially when the fate of a certain young templar hangs in the balance, becoming the focus of Cassandra and Adderly's ideological differences.

Cullen is being especially angsty and unpleasant ever since the Inquisition arrived at Skyhold, and Cassandra wants to get to the bottom of it. Not all is as it seems. Spoiler: it's got to do with tHE fADE
Note: Cullen's cranky and therefore being extremely unpleasant to everyone around him, including recruits and messengers. There's one scene where he's borderline verbally abusing one of his messengers, but Cassandra intervenes and everyone's fine. Just note if that makes you uncomfortable

Summary
Aida Trevelyan loved everything about her new condo in a sleek modern high rise - except, the walls were awfully thin - especially the wall between her bedroom - and Cullen Rutherford's next door.
Author's note: This fic starts out grounded in reality (and smut) and then ROCKETS into telenovelas crazy-pants territory (and smut) - but every word of it is pure Cullen X Trevelyan OTP mega-ship.
