Art And Ardor by Viridis
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age: Inquisition

Summary
An art exhibition; an assassination attempt; newspaper articles; the Qunari Embassy. Dorian Pavus certainly didn't ask for any of that.
Or, the fic where Solas hides behind trees, Sten makes tea, and Dorian, a sort-of-retired writer with a sort-of-wonderful boyfriend, is definitely not interested in the one-eyed Ben-Hassrath agent who is just trying to get into his fashionable pants, thank you very much.

A Fire and a Conflagration by iodhadh for serenityfails
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition

Summary
At first, the Iron Bull is just writing poetry to Dorian because it's a fun way to tease him—he gets all huffy when he's pretending he doesn't think the lowbrow stuff is funny, and besides, he started it by making it a Vint-versus-Qunari thing. It's only fair for Bull to needle him a bit.
At first, Dorian is only writing back to Bull because he can't let him win. The pride of Tevinter's literary tradition (not to mention his own dignity) is at stake here, and he will not be beaten at metaphor by someone who thinks cattle-related puns are an appropriate way to seduce someone.
And that's all it is. At first.

Summary
Tama seems to have misunderstood what Bull meant when he said that Dorian Pavus is a pain in his ass. She's decided that Dorian's coming to the Charger Family Holiday Celebration, and no matter how many times Bull tells her that as the school principal, he shouldn't be dating teachers, she won't give up.
Dorian, who had firm plans to do nothing this holiday season, is not about to give up the opportunity to torture his boss. After all, there's a reason he gets along so well with his fourth graders.
What's a bit of holiday subterfuge between strictly platonic and slightly adversarial co-educators?

There are three rules to a one-night stand: Wear a condom, don't stay longer than necessary, and most importantly, don't get attached. Too bad Shepard was never one for following all the rules.

A Compromising Position by Seabirdsong

Summary
Sera has drugged Alistair and Cullen with a potent aphrodisiac, thinking that not only does the uptight Commander desperately need to get laid, but that she's also doing a favor to the prudish duo's many hopeful, lovesick admirers.
Cullen's not the kind of man to take advantage of a lady, but when self-exiled to a tower with Alistair in order to ride out a spell of desperate sexual needs... well, some other concessions might be made.
This will be a short work, only about 3 chapters. It's a just-for-fun Cullistair smutfest. I'm really not trying to make it anything more.
Also please note that unintentional ingestion of this aphrodisiac to get these two banging necessitates a 'dub con' trigger warning.Bookmarked by BrainWroughtWriter

Summary
Q wonders, briefly, how James could possibly think this is an appropriate time to profess his undying love—or whatever the hell it is he’s attempting to do; though, frankly, the skeleton suit did make him blink a bit stupidly at his laptop—but then something explodes to his left, and Q heaves a long-suffering sigh and snaps at him for ruining everything good in the world. James laughs and carries on wielding his Walther like it isn’t the 7500th replacement that Q has thrown at him.

Summary
Cullen and Dorian's friendship deepens. Cullen is a romantic. Dorian is literally cold. Cullen is no longer certain what he would consider surprising. Mages and Templars working in perfect cooperation, perhaps. Evil and corruption disappearing into the ground along with the blight, blood magic falling so far out of favor it ceased to be. A united Thedas: that would be a surprise.

Summary
In the aftermath of defying his country to save his best friend, Steve Rogers agreed to a plea bargain that would grant his friends immunity but send him to prison. That was two years ago.
Bucky had a plan for when Steve finally was released from prison: a quiet house and a big bed, maybe a dog. None of his plans included Steve agreeing to sacrifice himself to save the very people that had stripped him of his title and took away his freedom. But old enemies have a way of coming back.

Summary
The village of Honnleath is a world away from everything Dorian is used to, as though it's been stuck in time or abandoned by it—he really can't say which. It's steeped in myth and mystery, though none so intriguing as the quiet, reclusive veteran that always seems so far away, even when they're sharing the same small stretch of the shore.
--------------------
or: the one where Dorian is an author, come to Honnleath to research his next story, and Cullen is a veteran struggling to keep afloat in the small village he grew up in. both out of their depth and their element, they turn unintentionally to each other.

Dorian will never admit he's stuck in a rut, but conveniently, summertime prevails with new beginnings, so he doesn't have to. He mistakenly agrees to take on the role of wingman for damnably handsome but hopelessly stubborn Cullen and finds himself with more work than he's cut out for.

Summary
note: this is a repost. after 10 chapters, 200+ kudos, 80+ comments, and 2600+ hits i accidentally deleted the original :'(
----------
It seems the opportunity of a lifetime for Cullen: headlining as executive chef at New York’s newest, most-anticipated restaurant, with a menu he can craft & construct all to his specifications. It’s a risk, leaving the comfortable sous chef position he’s held in London, and his sister Mia is sure to remind him of the fact. But nothing ventured, nothing gained, so Cullen gathers his things and his dog, Dijon, and heads for New York.
Dorian is an upcoming fashion designer attempting to strike out with his own line after the retirement of his mentor, Gereon Alexius. But he’s not without help, after dragging Gereon’s son Felix along after him. Their first show is around the corner & they’ve garnered the attention of people that could make or break their business but they’ve also been beset by nothing but problems with suppliers, venues, and models. Dorian’s determined to make everything work, but all of the fates and their second cousins seem just as determined to get in his way.
That is until, by chance, Dorian meets a charming dog by the name of Dijon …

Summary
In which Dorian is a special forces operative, Bull is his partner, and Cullen is the guy they're sent to rescue. Hijinks ensue.
Written because I wanted a story where Dorian rescues Cullen from physical danger. Because I like rescue-fic, and mainly what I've seen is the other way around (Cullen rescuing Dorian).
In the name of not leading people on...The E rating is for eventually (cf "slow burn" tag above): I'd say this is T rated until chapter 15, and it doesn't need the E rating until chapter 25. Just so's you know!
ETA: ART!!! Because there are few things I like better than badass Dorian.
