Summary
" “What was it you wanted to speak to me about?” Cullen asked as he knelt at the small fireplace, adding a log to feed the flame; naked without the fur caressing his neck. The flickering light from the growing fire shimmering against his breastplate.
“Comman-”
“Cullen” he looked to her, light playing across his face. “By the Maker, I’m sick of titles today, aren’t you?” "

An imagining of how the two fall in love. Touching the main points of DA:I (for cannon). Diverging for character development/backstory/motivations/companion conversations/Cullen smut & general filling in of the gaps between!

Summary
After her discharge from the Alliance, Commander Helen Trevelyan joined the Andromeda Initiative, wanting to leave her personal tragedies and a psycho ex-boyfriend behind her. She expected to sleep for 600 years, and wake up in a med bay. Instead, she crash-landed on a snow-covered mountain, ten-thousand years later. She is alone, confused, and dying from eezo radiation. And the only sign of civilization is an old church in the distance.
A Post-Modern Girl on Thedas fic.
Many, many thanks to my betas, Dreadlordcherrycake and Duinemerwen, who have advised me on all matters of lore, plausibility and verb tense. If it wasn't for them, this story would still be in cryo. Any mistakes are mine, not theirs.
I have a regular work schedule IRL, which means I don't have a regular update schedule on AO3. This story is visually supported.

Summary
Scarlett Trevelyan doesn't need anyone. She's the Inquisitor, the Herald of Andraste, performs miracle after miracle every day, why would she? The nightmares from her past are breaking her, but how can she tell anyone? The only person she wants to tell wouldn't want to listen to the ramblings of a mage anyway.
Commander Cullen does need someone but is too afraid to ask. But would she even care? What mage in their right mind wants to bother themselves with a former Templar? One going through lyrium withdrawal and can barely sleep through a night? Not her, she has enough on her shoulders.
(New chapters come irregularly but expect me to update on weekends)

The Revelation of All Things by EllenEmbee

Summary
Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Evana Lavellan feels (reluctantly) compelled to stay and help the newly dubbed "Inquisition" close the Breach. But no longer than that. After all, they only care for her welfare because of the mark on her hand.
Unfortunately, every mission seems to take her further away from her goal instead of closer to it. But each refugee saved and disaster averted also brings with it a sliver of tranquility, a fleeting taste of atonement for past wrongs. Surrounded by new people - new friends - she discovers a wider world than she'd ever imagined with her clan, a world in which she has the power to improve the lives of both elves AND mages.
Strangest of all, she finds herself drawn to an unlikely friend and confidant in Inquisition's ex-templar military advisor who, like her, is all too familiar with the bitter taste of regret... and the fragile touch of hope.
**Game scenes/dialogue included but also tons of original "in-between" moments, dialogue, character development and introspection. Super mild AU for shuffling conversation locations and tweaking the order of events. Quizzy is my own.

Summary
Torn out of the world she’d give her life for and thrown into one she knows nothing of, Cassidy Halloran wakes up in chains at the feet of Cassandra Pentaghast, accused of mass murder, but she manages to change the Seeker’s mind about her.
Declared the Herald of Andraste, the Chantry is already against her, but there is still hope. Between the stoic Seeker and the stern Commander Cullen Rutherford, she’s got quite the team to help her succeed. Still, shadows lurk in the brightest of places, and their enemies were patient.
Haunted by her own failures and visions of who she was, Cassidy will question everything she knows, and make some poor decisions. It happens to the best of us, but in her position, such choices can have unforeseen consequences. Her greatest enemy is not the one in front of her, but the hand she called friend pressing the knife to her back. When testing the bounds of loyalty, betrayal is a cruel mistress.
Tasked with saving a world that is not her own, she will give everything she’s got, but will it be enough? She will change everything, whether they like it or not, but will she be their salvation, or will she make heretics out of them?

In which Duncan was never at the Circle Tower to recruit Iris Amell, so when she was caught helping a blood mage, she ran, dooming herself to the life of a hunted apostate, and leaving behind a wounded and broken-hearted young Templar by the name of Cullen Rutherford. He spends nearly a decade wondering if he let a blood mage slip through his grasp, never expecting to see her again, until she shows up at the remains of the Temple of Sacred Ashes with the mark on her hand and the fate of the world on her shoulders. In the midst of the chaos of the Inquisition, their puppy love will flower once again.

Summary
This is a previous work that I am revisiting and revamping, hence 2.0. I have always loved this story and now that my writing has improved, I really wanted to see what I could do with it now.
Scarlett Trevelyan is a Mage, who has had little to fear from Templars in her past. She knows that a battle is raging between Mages and Templars, but she is not so willing to take sides. Her life in the Ostwick Circle was mundane at best, boring at worst. She isn't prepared for the coming events because she isn't a fighter. Her skills lie in the healing arts, in spirit magic.
This story will also be told from both perspectives, Cullen and Trevelyan.

But if the other Templars knew about his feelings for Solona Amell, a woman he has never spoken to, but can’t help watching from a distance, he would surely be removed from the Order he admires.

Summary
This never should’ve happened.
We never should’ve met.
Love shouldn't bloom from such tragedy, and yet here I stand falling for a woman many consider the messenger of Andraste.
It's blasphemous.There's something more to the Commander.
I could feel it.
Something beneath the ex- Chantry boy's diffidence, something primal.
But I'm now considered a key figure in the religion he follows.
And even though I know I'm still just a woman, he sees someone closer to his god than he's ever known.
Still, I won't stop trying to bring out the Lion I know lurks beneath all that armor. -

Summary
I sat down to write this, knowing I wanted to write about the moments not seen in the game. My idea was to write the full romance of Cullen and Trevelyan and it branched out from there. Most of the scenes for this work will be glimpses into their world. I hope to encompass the entire game within these stories, but I won't be rehashing in-game content.
Scarlett Trevelyan is a Mage, who has had little to fear from Templars in her past. She knows that a battle is raging between Mages and Templars, but she is not so willing to take sides. Her life in the Ostwick Circle was mundane at best, boring at worst. She isn't prepared for the coming events because she isn't a fighter. Her skills lie in the healing arts, in spirit magic.
This story will also be told from both perspectives, Cullen and Trevelyan.
