Summary
Cullen Rutherford is sent on a mission on behalf of the Inquisition to retrieve the disgraced Queen of Ferelden, Elsa Theirin, who fled Denerim after revealing her magic to her court accidentally.
With the Landsmeet only two months away, Elsa is willing to take drastic measures - even finally marry - to keep her crown. Only… Elsa has never been impressed with the eligible noble Ferelden bachelors. Without forewarning, Leliana offers up the hand of Cullen Rutherford, who, despite his lack of noble heritage, is a former Templar who can appease the nobility's concerns about Elsa's magic.
Cullen, his life ever in service to causes greater than himself, accepts.

Summary
Duncan returns to Ostagar with a new recruit, a young man from Lothering, spared from the hangman's noose after he helped his apostate siblings escape the Chantry and Templars. Carver Hawke has always longed for a purpose, and a cause worth fighting for. What better way to carve his name into the annals of history, than by becoming a legendary Grey Warden and helping Ferelden win the battle against the Blight right there at Ostagar.
Of course...it doesn't really go to plan.
(AU where Carver Hawke is recruited as the Warden and a great many things change. Romances undecided for now...open to suggestions!)

Summary
Being trapped in another world is a hell of a thing.
You learn a lot about yourself. Who you really are, deep down inside. What lines you'll cross to stay alive, to try and get home. Who you think you can trust, who you think you love. Just how many lies you'll be willing to tell to keep your secrets. How much blood you're willing to shed.
I shed a lot of it, in Kirkwall, and I've spent seven years in purgatory as a result. Seven years trapped somewhere beyond reality, but not quite in the Fade. My only company myself, and a Desire Demon just as unhappy with the situation as I am. Oh. And... an Elven Goddess, I suppose.
Kind of hard to forget about her, since she's the one giving the orders now. Giving me the truth of how I ended up in Thedas, why I ended up there, and just what she expects me to do now that the Inquisition has begun. Can't say I'm happy about any of it, or that I'm about to actually follow her orders.
But then... I'm not sure how much of a choice I'll have.

Summary
Knight-Commander Nicole Haught spent years honing herself into a protector, a guardian of her Circle of Magi and the mages and templars under her command. She was responsible for their safety, their security, and most recently, the reform of some of the more despicable practices of the Templar Order. Her place within this world was certain and secure.
One fateful day, that security was thrown into question by an apostate mage, a girl dragged into Nicole's office and thrown to the flagstones at her feet. Not only was this girl an illegal mage, subject to punishment at Nicole's discretion - she was also an omega. Until very recently, any omega mage in a Circle of Magi would have been destined for execution or the mind-searing Rite of Tranquility. However, there was one way open for Nicole to save an omega mage from that fate: she could bind the girl to herself, taking all responsibility for her welfare and sanity upon her own head.
Nicole knew that the demands placed upon her would test her strength. Little did she suspect how much they might try her heart.
Welcome to the Tower.

you’re not like other mages by chronic_chirper

Summary
Of all of the inane things Commander Cullen could have said, “you’re not like other mages” found its home right at the top of the Unofficial Greatest Hits List of Shitty Things he had said to the Herald since she’d arrived in Haven three months ago — a seemingly insurmountable feat. At least no one could accuse him of half-assing things. Cullen gave a hundred and ten percent to literally everything.
The worst part about the entire thing was, it had been intended as a compliment.
———
A collection of one-shots depicting key moments leading up to the relationship between tiny Inquisitor Damiana Lavellan and the esteemed Commander Cullen Rutherford.

Summary
A Templar and a mage begin as enemies and become lovers.
What a scandal, what a cliché!
Inquisition Commander Cullen Rutherford knows he's falling for the fiery Dalish mage who emerged from the smoking ruin of the Grand Conclave as
hisThe Herald of Andraste, and that presents a problem for him. Well, several problems:Does he believe she was chosen by the Maker to fight a holy war? How could he possibly act on his feelings for her knowing they may be driven by something darker than desire and not wholly his own? While knowing that his choice to free himself from lyrium will likely kill him sooner rather than later?
Could she ever see him as more than the childhood monster who hunted her people to the brink of extinction? Would she still want him if she knew of his past? Would he deserve her love if she gave it to him?
What must they sacrifice to be with each other?
What must they sacrifice to save the world?UPDATED WEEKLY (ish)

Summary
“I left the Order, when I joined the Inquisition. I’m not a templar anymore.”
“You’re not?” she asks. “Prove it.”
A fireball flares in her palm, the white-hot shriek of it contained but ready to launch. He is all reaction, practiced movements shifting into a defensive stance, hands ready to clap together in a silence. She can smell his lyrium in the air.
Banishing the magic, she says, “You can take the man out of the Order, I guess.”
***
Evelyn and Cullen remake the world.

Summary
Books on magic, it turned out, were surprisingly hard to acquire without drawing attention. She resolved to teach herself - before she began, she acquired a high-temperature thermometer (from the kitchen, while the cooks were not looking), a barometer (from a passing merchant who offered it as a curiosity), a scale, and a sealed-glass pen that could be used to write in any condition. Then, with her setup ‘finished’, she began iterating, experimenting - noting down the maximum temperature her flames reached, the minimum temperature she could achieve with a blizzard, the amount of force she could achieve, the length of time she could deprive an area of enough oxygen to choke someone.

Her sister was taken at thirteen, and Livi still remembers her face, the way she looked at her with grief, the promises she muttered under her breath. When Olivia discovers she herself is a mage, she resolves to never let herself be captured, to never let her mind be destroyed, to always be free, and to always control herself. Her clandestine experiments eventually become the only reprieve she has from the shattered world outside, iterating and improving day-after-day, in the hopes of eventually freeing her sister.
