Summary
What do you do when you hit bottom? When you’re deep in the hole you’ve dug yourself and the only way out is a rickety ladder with missing rungs made of old, fraying rope?
Cullen Rutherford is an ex-Special Forces soldier just out of rehab for his lyrium addiction and struggling to pull his life back together. He finds a new place to live that's close to his new job, but there's just one problem: his roommate is a beautiful college student who enchants him from the moment he meets her.
Brittany Trevelyan is just 20 years old and in her third year of university. She is a breath of fresh air for the jaded ex-Templar commander, and she seems all too willing to let him have her.
But it's so wrong. He's too old for her just to begin with. He's the wrong kind of man for her, but none of it stops him from burning for her day and night.
Will he resist her or surrender to his desires? Will he end up in the Void or Sin in Heaven?

Summary
Inquisitor Brittany loves the sound of her Commander's voice. It's too bad that she doesn't always pay attention to his actual words. He takes exception to her inattention and leaves the War Room in a huff, but she can't leave well enough alone. She visits him in his tower and gets more than she bargained for, and everything she wanted at the same time.

Summary
Stories featuring my Cullen Rutherford and Evelyn Trevelyan from the Trying Not to Love You universe.
The Cullen in these stories is quite different from the canon Cullen, though he does share the self-loathing and the feeling that he is not worthy of his Inquisitor's love. Otherwise, he is kinky, dirty, brash, and much more overtly sexual than canon Cullen.
Evelyn Trevelyan is a young mage who is very innocent and acts as a foil for Cullen's rough, brash worldliness. She falls in love with her handsome Commander and will do anything to prove that to him.

Summary
Stories featuring Cullen Rutherford and my OC, healer Eala Arnal and set in the universe created for Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme.
This series started as a one-shot based on some multiplayer chatter about how Cullen smells like oakmoss and elderflower, with the speculation being that he uses these herbs in some form to combat his lyrium withdrawal symptoms.
It contains a withdrawal syndrome that is chronic in nature, perhaps a lifelong condition and is focused on taking care of and healing Cullen. He deserves it!

Summary
Once, back in Kirkwall, Cullen had an arrangement with a member of the city guard that satisfied his needs. But time changed all things, and he despaired of ever finding a similar arrangement again - that was, until he met The Iron Bull. Problem being that Bull seemed to care far more about sorting out the nitty-gritty of such an arrangement than Cullen ever has.

Stuck on the Puzzle by thespectaclesofthor
https://archiveofourown.org/works/5269628I'm not normally into sub!Cullen, nearVirgin!Cullen, or even Bull/Cullen really, but this author makes all of it work so well and so believably. I can't praise this fic or the author enough for delivering such a well-plotted, perfectly written AU. I've already read this several times, and I know I am going to read it again soon.

Summary
A glib, sheltered Circle mage. An uptight, world-weary ex-templar. She can't resist tugging his chain; he won't stop correcting her faults. It shouldn't work, but somehow... it might?
NOTE: I do not use trigger warnings on chapters for this story.

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the best Cullen/Inquisitor romances I have ever read. Cullen is sexy and in character and Anya is quirky and adorable.

Summary
When Josephine suggested they throw an Orlesian masked ball, Cullen never once thought he might attend, much less find...and lose...and rediscover...the love of his life.
Of course, with Dorian, Varric and Sera playing meddling Fairy Godmother, he probably should have seen it all coming.

But I'll be there for you-ou-ou

With Passion'd Breath Does the Darkness Creep by Lalapie

Summary
With passion'd breath does the darkness creep,
It is the whisper in the night, the lie upon your sleep
- Transfigurations 1:5Something goes wrong when Dorian and Eve Trevelyan are sent back from the dark future. Eve falls through the porthole before the spell is ready, and ends up not back in Redcliffe but in the lap of Knight-Captain Cullen in his office in Kirkwall.
The Inquisitor thinks she knows how much trouble she is in- after all, she has heard the stories about Cullen's feelings on mages. What she doesn't realize is that late-Kirkwall Cullen was not only bigoted, but half-mad (from the lyrium idol, from stress, from never sleeping).
Cullen knows that Eve is a mage. Cullen knows that she has a large, green hole in her hand - But Cullen doesn't think that the Inquisitor is a demon. Slightly unhinged by lack of sleep, stress and his personal demons the only explanation his mind can come up with is that the beautiful mage who just fell in is lap is his Maker-sent reward. He has no intention of letting her go anywhere, much less back to the future.
