    Summary

    Once, back in Kirkwall, Cullen had an arrangement with a member of the city guard that satisfied his needs. But time changed all things, and he despaired of ever finding a similar arrangement again - that was, until he met The Iron Bull. Problem being that Bull seemed to care far more about sorting out the nitty-gritty of such an arrangement than Cullen ever has.

    Summary

    Cullen is a construction worker newly diagnosed with cancer. He befriends Dorian at a meditation group shortly after, and the two hit it off. Mostly a quiet, steady romance with a lot of hurt/comfort mixed in.

    “Ah, yes, I complained bitterly of the cold to you. No wonder you remember me.”

    It was rainy that night, and icy. The wet got into your bones, a hard sensation to recall in the midst of a hot summer. “You were also wearing a comically large scarf,” Cullen says.

    Summary

    Five years after the Inquisition’s disbandment, a disillusioned Dorian takes a leave of absence from the Magisterium and journeys south to visit Cullen, where the fully recovered once-commander runs a rehab program for templars out of his manor house in the Bannorn. Dorian, wounded grievously in both body and spirit by The Iron Bull's final betrayal, is still struggling with his losses and the man they've made him. Seeing his old friend awakens memories, both good and bad, which he'd thought long buried. As the two reconnect, spending time together on the farm with Cullen’s many dogs, they begin to realize they may have more to offer one another than simply reminiscing about a shared past.

    Summary

    Cullen Rutherford has been many things in his life. Solider, addict, victim, and, through more dubious claim, survivor. Adding baker to that list doesn't seem like much of a stretch, but with the group that makes up Herald's it might just be everything.

    Especially one Dorian Pavus. Barista, grad student, and roommate.

    It isn't so much a story of learning to put the pieces back together again as realizing that perhaps it was never truly broken to begin with.
