    Summary

    Since his release from a seven year nightmare 'experimental medical trial' with the supposed military that cost him an arm, Bucky has been in a downward spiral. Refusing all outside help, he's scraping by on his own when he gets cornered behind a dumpster in an alleyway in Brooklyn, and he thinks it might be the end for him until an overconfident gym-rat in brand name clothing interrupts the fight.

    Summary

    Cullen carries the guilt of his past deeds piled high on his bent head and broad shoulders, working steadfastly for atonement through full devotion to his Inquisition work. There's one death that weighs most heavily on his heart, that of circle mage 'Miss Almithara' --sweet, kind, beautiful, and inexplicably his friend. He's certain he demanded and was granted her death shortly after the Fall of Kinloch Hold.

    So how did he just run into her at a party in Orlais?

    Cullen x Female Elf OC
    Not an Inquisitor romance, though a Dalish mage inquisitor is in the story. Events of Kinloch Hold are a manipulated version of events (not totally canon), events during Inquisition pretty much are.

    Summary

    He carefully removed the gauze covering its upper quadriceps and guided the Soldier into the oversized shower stall. It was capable of performing its own cleansing routines, but this handler had initiated shared showers early in their cohabitation. It was not irregular, except that all previous handlers had used this time for recreational purposes as well. The Captain seemed only to take satisfaction in thoroughly cleansing the body, as one might perform maintenance on a valuable rifle. A fitting comparison, if it had not jammed and misfired today.

    _____________________________

    In which the Soldier tries some new foods, the Captain has a few crises, the Widow pulls some strings, Hawkeye makes a new friend, Iron Man lends a hand, and the Falcon is still Very Done.

    Summary

    ~~ If you're just here for the sex (and welcome, friend), chapters 4, 12, 18, 19 and 27 are for you~~

    After finding out that his father had, shall we say, more than just a hand in the death of the boy he loved, 18-year old Dorian Pavus flees his home with the sole goal of getting as far away from Tevinter as possible, eventually finding himself lost in the inhospitable Frostback Mountains.

    Lucky for him, 19-year old Cullen Rutherford, Templar Recruit, is part of the search party sent out to bring him home. Their fates collide when they are trapped together in a cave deep in the Frostbacks, with only each other to rely on for survival, and enough time to bring them close.

    But the following decade is hard on the two men - Dorian's father completes his blood ritual, leaving his son irreparably changed, and Cullen's time trapped in Kinloch Hold has instilled in him an unwavering hatred for mages. When their paths cross again in the Inquisition, there's little left of the two boys who had fallen in love in the Frostbacks.

    But perhaps they will learn to love and accept one another as they are now, scars and all...
