    Summary

    Lux, emotionless even to other templars, has spent her entire life knowing nothing but what she was ordered to obey, saying little but what was required of her. Anders, A Bit Much even to other mages, can't help but prod her, to see if she has a voice.

    And when life comes crashing on them both, it's better to hang together than fall apart.

    (IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are worried about the power dynamic inherent in an templar/mage relationship, don't worry, they're incredibly stressed about it too and are making an effort to discard that dynamic.)

    Summary

    The always studious Anders is pulled from his medical school homework one night when his boyfriend, Karl, doesn't come home when he should. Anders gets a call that changes his life forever. He drops out of school, and upon meeting a famous writer at his new bookstore job, he meets a new crew of friends from the overly-sexual Isabela, to the ball of sunshine Merrill. The one that sticks out to him the most is Garrett Hawke, an incredibly handsome and flirty young bachelor. The group quickly bonds, and just as quickly, everything Anders cares about is ripped from him. Three years pass and Anders finally reconnects with the friends he'd neglected for so long.

    Okay, so I've never written fanfic for Dragon Age before despite being a part of/loving this fandom for the better part of the last ten years (or more, honestly, I don't remember). A recent hyperfixation resurgence has me thinking about my favorite apostate terrorist man and I just... love him so much?! I hope y'all enjoy this for real tho.

    Yes, the title is stolen from the Fallout Boy Song lol

    Summary

    “In this the truth is found. Blessed are they who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter. Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just.”

    Broken, angry and in the throngs of dependence on lyrium, Knight-Captain Cullen Rutherford has the weight of Kirkwall on his shoulders. Whispers are spreading of Knight-Commander Meredith’s unfitness to lead the templars, tensions between the mages and templars are quickly coming to a breaking point, and dark secrets linger in the halls of The Gallows.

    Neria Surana, Cullen’s closest friend in Kinloch Hold - Ferelden’s Circle Tower - finally convinced the heads of the tower to let her transfer to The Gallows. Determined to help her friend, despite her hurting heart, Neria finds herself in one of the darkest places in the world. Unprepared, unprotected and undaunted, Neria vows she will help him.

    An Unbreaking AU where Neria makes it to The Gallows, finds Cullen very much changed and very much broken. Will she be able to break through Cullen’s prejudices? Will she be able to discover what haunts the footsteps of the mages and convince Cullen to help her? Can she find a way to bring the templars and mages together before it’s too late?

    Summary

    A cat thrown in the doghouse, but where a mauling was expected was instead understanding.

    Hello all, this is just a little idea I wanted to work on. It has various omegaverse spices though it doesn't follow every rule. There are no punches held back here so if you're a sensitive reader, I wouldn't recommend reading this. My hope is to try and update once a week but life and whatnot.

    Summary

    This is part of a series that will tell Cullin Rutherford's story, from Origins through DA2 and Inquisition.

    This is my take on Cullin's story and his involvement on the sidelines and how his character developes over time.

    Warnings will increase as the story progresses. For now, there will be plenty of gore and violence, demons, bloodmages, torture and PTSD. There will be some references to demonic non/con, but it will not be graphic.
    Later in the series, the ratings may rise to Explicit, but not for a while. Poor Cullin has been too traumatized for love any time soon.

    Summary

    All his personal crap aside, Cullen is still the knight-captain, even if it is a sham. Since when has he ever shirked his duty?
    He'll be the best damn knight-captain that he can manage with the tools that he has available.

    To do list :
    Make nice with Alrik.
    Get his circle under control. Thrask in, predatory templars out.
    Pretend he's not a filthy traitor.
    Control his Nightmares. Why is everything so Red suddenly?
    Qunari...? No, that is not on the list. Get that crap out of here!
    Did he always shout this much? Or is this new?

    Also, the infamous talk with Hawke and Keran happens. From Cullen’s perspective. More deception. And a blow to everything he has been working toward this whole last year.

    Summary

    Oh, Cullen, look at you go. Getting so much done. Making so many good decisions. He's doing his very best, just like always. He's a Force Multiplier. It gets him a promotion. Nothing sinister about that, just good hard work.

    There's certainly nothing odd about his rage demon caressing his face and allowing him a good nights sleep for once. There's nothing to see here. You should move on.

    Summary

    The worst thing that can happen when someone goes through a severely traumatic experience and is in recovery from it......is to backslide right back into a new break. It's an all too common experience among those with Battle Sickness.

    Unfortunately, Cullen is no common soldier and what he suffers from...well...it's certainly not common Battle Sickness.

    On top of all his other shit......it's just another straw on the mabari's back. He's trying so hard not to break.
    But there's only so much he can do on his own.

    Summary

    Cullen is beginning to come into his own at Kirkwall. He has an encouraging boss and a good friend to talk to and meaningful work to stay busy with. Only...maybe...maybe he really doesn't have all those things. Maybe he's just too suspicious for his own good. If he just closed his eyes and did what he was told, it would all be better... Wouldn't it?
    Cullen is beginning to question everything...including his commanding officers... But he has more important things to occupy him, like those tunnels under The Gallows. He goes on an expedition of his own and rescues an escaped mage. A mage that knows too much for her own good or his. He did a good thing, right?

    All implied non-con occurs in the final nightmare at the very end and can be skipped without missing any real storyline.

    Summary

    Four days into Cullen's first week in Kirkwall. He's starting to settle in to his new home, but even a young Rutherford can only push himself so far. Samson get's his first experience of his roommate's night terrors, but his reaction is surprising. Samson demands an explanation and Cullen finally has someone to talk to. How much can he really tell?
    Graphic descriptions of past blood, gore, and violence. Demons, demons, and more demons. Blood mages. Referenced suicide/death of npc's. So many dark tags on this one. Either I'm getting better at tags or this storyline is getting serious.
    Hope you are enjoying my take on Cullen's difficulties.

    Summary

    Cullen has had a long trip to Kirkwall, yet he is still reeling from his experiences at Kinloch. He's lost and alone and unsure of the future and plagued by night terrors. All he really knows right now is that there's no magic in the air here and thank goodness for that.
    References to violence and past trauma. Also vivid nightmares. Templars are still jerks, but maybe not all of them.

    Summary

    This is part of an ongoing series: CHARON'S OBOL; this is chapter one of FRAGMENTS OF KIRKWALL, set during the events of DA:II.

    The aim of this series is to write a better character arc for one Cullen Rutherford, who, despite a confusing amount of fandom love, has an arc across three games that isn't wholly coherent or consistent. Parts of this series may appear with other POV characters, and usually will be written within the context of a specific quest or part of the game in question's arc.

    Finally, this series is written with a female circle mage Grey Warden, Iðunn Amell. An additional OC, Ser Griseldis of Starkhaven and Kirkwall, also plays a large role in the entries to this series.
