    Summary

    When she moves, he can't help but watch. When she speaks with her lilting voice, that Dalish accent so prominently there, he can't help but listen. She is like the sun in his life, like a ray of hope that he desperately tries to cling to, a comfort that he thought he would never deserve. She was his fire at the heart of the world, and comfort was only hers to give.

    This fic will explore the relationship between our Mage Lavellan and her troubled Commander, Cullen Rutherford.
    It will be a slow-burn, with lots of fluff, back-of-the-neck-rubbing, stuttering, exchanged glances, light touches and attempts at speaking Elvhen to an obviously amused Dalish Inquisitor. Her Commander is as complicated as he looks, and his Inquisitor is not as confident and unmarred as he thinks. If you like seeing two dorks slowly learn to communicate and trust each other, and some hurdles to overcome, this will hopefully be your thing!

    It builds on some separate things I wrote before this, so check out the series before you get into this one! I did not expect to really start a multi-chapter fic so this is why it's split up. I might merge them together later.
