Summary
"I’ve never told anyone what truly happened to me at Ferelden’s Circle. I was… not myself after that. I was angry. For years, that anger blinded me. I’m not proud of the man that made me."
"The way I saw mages… I’m not sure I would have cared about you, and the thought of that sickens me.
Lyrium withdrawal and the realization that he's desperately in love with the Inquisitor has left Cullen raw. Vulnerable. The horror of his past keeps intruding into his present, and he can't help but wonder whether he's been carrying it with him in more ways than one- whether his desires are his own, or something darker that controls and compels him from deep within his subconsciousness.
He needs to address it— he needs to come clean in order to move on— but will he lose the woman he loves in the process? Will he lose her to something (or someone) else before he can gather the courage to act?

Summary
Originally posted as three separate works: part one for DA Kiss Week 2025, and parts two and three for Rutherfest 2025. They make more sense together.
(Accidental deletion? Me? Never!)
Former Inquisition Commander Cullen Rutherford has finally realized a dream: to open a clinic for Templars who wish to free themselves from the clutches of lyrium and for retired Templars too far gone from lyrium to live out the rest of their days in quiet comfort.
It's the opening day celebration and so, of course, an unexpected guest arrives.

Summary
Alistair wants to ask his fellow Warden to spend the night with him, but he wants it to be perfect. Maybe a little home-cooked meal in camp to make it feel special is the way to go?

The Cadence of His Heart by WaitingForDogot

18 Jan 2026
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)

To Sleep In His Arms by CobaltSkye

Summary
What on earth was happening to her? She’d never wanted anyone as badly as she wanted him in that moment, never wanted to claim and be claimed so desperately.
Someone destroys Cullen's tent when he accompanies the Herald, Dorian and Iron Bull on a venture to the Hinterlands, leaving him no choice but to share her tent for the time they're there. Will forced proximity, nightmares, and wandering hands during sleep be enough to convince the two idiots that they're attracted to one another?

Summary
After Kirkwall's Chantry was destroyed, the city was caught in the middle of the mages and templars waging war. With too many wounded and too few healers, they accept an offer from the Ostwick Circle to send aid. Yvette Trevelyan is all too eager to see the city her cousin, the Champion of Kirkwall, wrote about in his letters. She's used to sneaking away from her overseers, and she goes straight to the Hanged Man. There are rumors the Champion himself still appears there, and she isn't the only one who's looking for him. Even if he doesn't show, she's still determined to have a good time. When you're a Circle mage, you have to make every moment of freedom count.

Summary
But somewhere between sickly green rifts and wary war table glances and careful conversation amid the clang of sword and shield, Cullen had gone from templar to Commander to Cullen to templar and Commander and Cullen.
