Summary
"How do you like it cooked?" Bull says.
D’s expression clears and he looks thoughtful, raising one of his prettily painted black nails to his lips. “Hot, and red,” he says, like that’s not sort of terrifying.
Bull clears his throat. “Uh. And bloody?” And he’s not sure he wants to sort out if the grin that twists its way across D’s face when he replies with a breathy yes is D being a brat or being creepily sincere.

Summary
There were books in the library, meticulous diagrams of mammalian and avian anatomy, and Goodnight had run his fingers over the picture of the owl skull, wide empty eye sockets and a teaspoon of a brain cavity, and thought that a lazy and stupid bird like that was smart in all the Goddamn ways it needed to be.

Summary
Bull’s seen the darequrnaas of a Tal-Vashoth after they’d buried her, bits of her in different holes around the island. She’d been picking off livestock and started targeting the help when they got in her way.
The hiraas had opened it up, and the heart inside had still been beating.

“Amy wouldn’t have wanted me to live with her ghost,” Simon says, and next to him, Kieren makes a quiet, hurt noise.

Saemus pushes away from him and snarls, “I will not be Tal-Vashoth.”
“Kadan. You will die here. I will die here. We will die under the Qun, or live Tal-Vashoth.”

Summary
And Dorian – who hasn’t maliciously thought of Bull as a beast in years, who hasn’t said the words even jokingly in months – still finds himself struck with what he was taught about the Qunari, what he still thinks when a new Vashoth joins the Inquisition. And now, every time the child opens his wide dark eyes and blinks lazily up at Dorian, every time he seems surprised by his own hands waving in front of his face, every time he laughs and squawks and hiccups after he’s done crying… Dorian thinks he can do better, for this child. He will.
He rocks the child in his arms late at night and whispers against the tight curls springing out of the sweet crown of his head, coaxes him to sleep for papa, darling, that’s a good boy.
(AKA a collection of all of the stories I've posted to tumblr about Felix the qunari. Because kidfic > everything tbqh.)

Summary
“If savages go to the same place as the rest of the Maker’s good little children, what’s the point in being a good person?”
“Don’t—”
“Maybe we end up somewhere else, is all I’m saying. You really think a murky dreamscape of spirits and demons is gonna keep us apart?”

Summary
Dalish lets out a peal of laughter that pulls both Dorian and Bull's attention to the group huddled opposite them. Krem and Dalish flank Pavus while he gestures overdramatically and seem to be humoring him if the size of their smiles are any indication, and Skinner doesn't look like she wants to shiv anyone. It's nearly sweet.
"I think they like him more than me," Dorian says, in what he trusts is an aloof, airy manner, and not at all bitterly.
"I think he likes them more than you do," Bull replies.

Summary
He bends at the waist and stares at Dorian with his one grey eye, and then he winks, and Dorian feels the scene break around them, the warmth and size of the hearth across the room impossible on a ship, the ropes too carefully tied on his wrists and ankles. The wide stretch of Bull’s smirk. “No self-respecting one-eyed pirate would wink,” he snaps, his scowl ruined by the laughter bubbling up from his chest.
Bull brushes off the comment and hooks his thumb over his belt. “No trapped vint horrified of his savage captor would go straight for the sexy jugular.”
Dorian tips his head back against the wall and closes his eyes so he doesn’t have to look at Bull’s smug, handsome face. “Oh, I’m horrified all right.”

Summary
Detective Bull Hissrad of the Val Royeux Police Department finally gets a break in the spate of bizarre deaths across the city: everybody who’s ended up six feet under bought a pet from the absurdly-named Magister D’s Pet Shop in Vintown, and the vint who runs the place is just strange enough to be worth checking out.
(Or, that time Bull was kind of a lonely, grumpy cop trying to figure out if Dorian was an ancient dragon hell-bent on exacting vengeance on humanity by killing people one at a time via the pretty inefficient method of selling them pets... or if he was just lonely and grumpy too.)

Summary
He keeps the aqun-asala powder in a jar on his dressing table. Every three months he spoons some of it into a mug and mixes it into the water with his finger. It's supposed to be tasteless, but when he swallows it down it lingers on his tongue, affects the taste of anything else he eats for the next couple days, mutes everything. He gets a kick outta eating spicy shit all lackadaisically and offering it to people, and acting surprised when it burns their mouths. (When he explains it to Sera, after she's stopped crying and threatening to stab him with one of his own horns, she thinks it's hilarious — tries to talk him into letting her have enough to prank people, actually. He knows exactly how much is left in the jar though, and he's not sure he's ever gonna get more... so she has to make do with sitting next to him and watching.)
"So it keeps you from losing it, huh?" she asks, glaring down into her empty flagon like she doesn't know where the beer got off to. "No squishy pffff—" she puffs up her cheeks and sets the flagon down, curving her hands into a circle and then moving them apart, "—for the qunari pokers?"

Summary
I deserve so many things, Dorian had said, and Bull had pulled him closer, tucked against his side.
You could summon the very limits of the Inquisition and it would still be found wanting, Dorian had said, his lips curling into what he knew was his most charming grin, and Bull had replied, I’ll bet that could be arranged.

Summary
He's unable to stop thinking about it, about those large hands in his hair, about those strong arms surrounding him. About those thick fingers sliding deep within him. He wonders what it would be like, to share a heat. To share it with someone who would not be ashamed of him. To share…
And with someone who didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of in the first place.
Dorian thinks about this, and listens to Bull and his Chargers laughing at each other, and drinks.

Summary
It's not so much a fully-formed plan as a want, when the idea first comes to Dorian.
The Iron Bull returns to Skyhold, axe slung over his shoulder while he swaggers into the courtyard as though he's some great conquering warrior, vitaar painted across his chest and shoulders and back in intricate patterns.
Dorian greets him before he can run off to do anything other than take a much-needed shower, the lug, and he lays his palm flat over Bull's stomach because the rest of him's covered in bloody poisonous paint. Bull grins down at him, and Dorian knows later that they speak to each other, but all he remembers is the thought that eclipsed all others — how he’d wanted Bull to take him in his arms then, and how bloody awful it would’ve been to be poisoned because of it.

Summary
Dorian rolls onto his side to face him, squinting in the mid-morning light. "You wanted to talk, last night. So talk."
"Mm, not like this." Bull cracks his neck, stretches his free arm above his head. Dorian doesn't even pretend he's not watching the muscles shift in Bull's shoulder. "You don't talk about sex in bed."

"You were kind of an asshole today, Dorian. You're kind of being an asshole right now."
"I think you rather like it," Dorian says, and he's not wrong.
