He once came charging to her rescue, like a gallant knight, saving her from certain death. And now, after all the heartaches and lies, she prays he can save her again. Just a bit of dribbling, angst-filled sappiness that's been rattling around in my brainpan since playing DA: Inquisition. Feeling the need to write a Cullen-knight-in-shining-armor fic. Some smut later on.

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? Cover art by the talented and amazing KuraNova.

It was a simple quest. Find an old man in Riften. Unfortunately the locals are less than forthcoming and somehow the Dragonborn got tied up in the Thieves Guild - exactly as Brynjolf wanted. F!Dragonborn/Brynjolf

He depended on lyrium from the first moment he tasted it, its song more enticing to him than anything or anyone. But then he met her. Templars all over Thedas find comfort in the Lyrium Song but he found it in her. To him, she was as sweet as a Lyrium Lullaby. Narrates the evolution of the love story between Cullen and Trevelyan since she stayed behind at Haven. Eventually rated M

The temple of Mythal - her point of no return. Lavellan's fate was sealed, perhaps no longer her own, as the waters lapped at her feet. Every victory comes with a price, only leading to more punishing battle. Corypheus would prove to be merely a doorway into a chaotic struggle for power and the downward spiral into warfare across Thedas. Mystery, suspense, romance, tragedy

When Corvo Attano is chosen as the Royal Protector, no one expected a series of disasters to follow. But after the death of her father and many strange assassinations, Empress Jessamine Kaldwin must survive the trials before her, with her Lord Protector by her side, all while uncovering feelings of her own heart. A tale of the Empire's most scandalous affair, with an unusual twist.

With the Empire and Stormcloaks taking advantage of the temporary treaty, Silver, the Dragonborn, flees from their aggressive acts to bring her on their side. In an attempt to temporarily hide, she offers Brynjolf riches in exchange for him accompanying her to the bottom of a Dwemer ruin in search of a Word.

When the young Corvo Attano won the Blade Verbena at 16, he never would have anticipated the path it would take him down. The years to follow would end up proving most eventful. Neither would Jessamine realize how much one man could impact the life of an all powerful Empress. (A mostly lore friendly take on Corvo and Jessamine's close relationship, and how it came to be)

Varric left out a companion from The Tale of the Champion for a reason. Little does he know that she's important to the Seeker too. OC put into the Dragon Age world. Goes beyond DA2 through DAI. Rated M for a few chapters.

Commander Cullen and King Alistair Theirin are no dim-witted, shy Chantry boys. They're both powerful men and they've both set their sights on the young and beautiful Inquisitor Ashe Trevelyan. But Ashe is no dainty little rose either. She revels in the attention - lust and violence is looming over them all. The game is on. Multi POV. DarkCullen & DarkAlistair. Seriously.

Valek documents everything relevant about Yelena from the day she arrives in the Commander's dungeons. Over time, "relevant information" becomes a more ambiguous term as he falls in love with the food taster. Updated sporadically as I have time.

Ten years ago, Aderyn Surana was a promising apprentice at Ferelden's Circle. Now, she's one of the few Tranquil at the Divine's Conclave. But when a miraculous trip to the Fade restores her magic, Aderyn becomes Andraste's Herald. She's grateful for her second chance, but sometimes saving the world while processing a decade of trauma doesn't feel like a blessing. (Cullen/Surana)

A distance relationship with her boyfriend Solas in Denerim is put under strain but she soon becomes fast friends with her new housemates, classmates and work colleagues, including uni drop-out Cullen Rutherford.

The Boyles' masquerade ball led Becky Atkin to stumble to a familiar face which later then became the turning point of her life. Corvo/OC pairing.

An unusual take on modern girl in Thedas concept – through the ages. Warning: hurt/comfort, depressing at times. Rape, non-con, nothing explicit though. Joanne is, at a first glance, typical student. She balances work, studying, and her boyfriend with marginal success. What makes her unusual are her dreams, which take her across fantastic realms... art: Ice Princess by Selenada

Eleanor tries to juggle a somewhat normal life while being the cousin and right-hand of the Inquisitor, Sophia. While heroes are off saving them, day to day life continues for the rest of the world-sort of.

Soufehla is a Dalish elf to her very core. She loves her clan more than anything in the world, and hates the Templars as much as she loves her Clan. So when she (quite literally) falls into the role of Herald of Andraste (A disgusting shemlen prophet, ugh!) and meets a certain golden-haired Commander, well, let's just hope that these two survive the encounter, yes? (Rape tw)

(College AU) Gwyn Trevelyan has just transferred to Skyhold University and, much to her chagrin, has been appointed the student director of the school's student union. As senior advisor in charge of orientation, Cullen helps Gwyn navigate her new life on campus. As the year continues, it becomes very clear that Cullen wants something more. [Rating may go up @ later chapters]

AU where Corvo wasn't a gift to the Kaldwins, but instead was sent to ensure either the Duke of Serkonos rise to power or the demise of young lady Jessamine Kaldwin. However, sometimes even the most battle hardened assassins can change their ways, especially when there's a young beautiful princess involved. Rated M for smut in the later chapters.

Carissa wanted to leave her childhood behind, so she became a thief and assassin. 25 years later, she returns to Riften to join the Thieves Guild, hoping to be part of something and maybe face her past. Her aggressive ways does not sit to well with most, but she was reliable. And the second-in-command just might be taking an interest in her. Features post-Skyrim.

Struck. Bewitched. Enchanted. Those are the words that come to Commander Cullen's mind when he thinks of her. Of the woman who miraculously emerged from the fade at the Conclave. The woman scarred with the Mark. The woman they now call the Herald.

"What kind of life can a mage have? So, I am not a mage." Evelyn has kept her magic secret her whole life. Cullen doesn't know what it is about her that makes him feel so strange. Can a mage be seduced into revealing her secrets? Can a Templar be seduced into accepting them? Cullen x f!Trevelyan. Other DA:I and DA:2 characters; eventual other pairings. Mix of canon and AU.

Corvo stumbles across a courtesan named Ana at the Golden Cat. Nothing stays the same after that and the Outsider makes sure of it.

Ashila Lavellan has a past stained black, white, and red. The black and white of her accursed eyes has been her birthright, the red staining her hands- a testament to her curse. How can one pursued by Dread itself, band a group together and repair the Sky? Slow-burn story to help me deal with my Elflove, spans all of Inquisition. (Rated:Language,Violence,Romance)

He's always been a romantic. Cullen Rutherford decided at eight years old that he was going to be a knight, even though he had no clue as to why knights were needed. He learned that lesson the hard way and now he's unlearning what was wrong in that lesson while learning to embrace that inner romantic again.

They had always gravitated toward each. Two opposite poles moving together to become one. Adrianne and Cullen. Mage. Templar. She went from friend to enemy to lover over the course of their lives.

Sarila is a young Nord woman who's been exposed to the deaths of her family at a young age. Separated from her last surviving friend, Ytri, Sarila finds an orphaned little girl, Lyvette, in the woods. When the dragons arise and her new friend, Valelia, is the only one who can stop them, will Sarila successfully raise the child unharmed...and encounter friends, new and old?

A collection of vignettes featuring "vulnerable" moments between Yelena and Valek at several points throughout their relationship. Some sexuality but nothing too graphic. I own nothing.

Brynjolf and Larka both finally address the feelings they have for each other, and their relationship begins to grow.

Cullen thought love was the last thing he needed in the midst of a war, but then he met Silvia Lavellan. Maker, she was a lovely woman. The way she smiled at him, and the fact she tried to help so many- everything about Silvia captivated him. But how in all of Thedas would the commander be able to tell her?

He was a Templar, but the fact that he left the Order isn't enough for Trevelyan to trust him on sight. A mage carries their only hope at closing the Breach and Cullen has no other choice than believing she's up for the task despite his inner fears. From distrust to love, can they learn together that the ghosts from their past doesn't define who they are?

When the survivor of the breach appears people are confused. When they find out she is a Tevinter elf slave they get angry. But Cullen steps in determined to protect this woman and give her a chance at different life. (Cullen/AU Inquisitor. Rated M for later chapters and occasional language.)

The tale of my Inquisitor, Renna Trevelyan. Enjoy!

After the events at Kirkwall, Cullen was only too happy to leave his past behind and join the fabled Inquisition as its Commander. But in a land torn with civil unrest and strife, he quickly finds things spiralling out of control. . . including his forbidden interest in the only one who can save them. Gradual F!Lavellan/Cullen

Vincent and Aria re-enter Gaia's urban jungle as they investigate the disturbances surrounding the ruins of Shinra's former Headquarters.

Ari'elle has long held a fascination for the humans, a love of the things they created. It wasn't until she saved one that she thought she could fall in love with one of them, though. Determined to follow her heart, she made a dangerous deal with the Mage living within the forest, and then set out to join the Inquisition. A world of Thedas retelling of The Little Mermaid!

Cullen left the Templars to join the Inquisition in an attempt to earn redemption for his past. The middle of a war was not where he expected to find love. Struggling with regret, lyrium withdrawal, and his emotions, Cullen must decide whether to obey the call of duty or his heart. [Contains some game dialog, Fluff, Citrus/Lemon, NSFW (later chapters). Told from Cullen's POV.]

Being liaison is a difficult enough job. Between being nearly killed -accidental death by missing documentation-attending peace talks and reducing espionage by a certain assassin, there are stubborn souls to guide. And on top of it all new dangers will arise where she will be forced to confront old demons that may take all that she has and leave nothing left. I own nothing.

Skyrim was her favorite place to feed, Firae had decided, glancing upon all the handsome faces that turned to stare at her beauty. She hadn't felt this full on sex in hundreds of years. The men of Skyrim sure did know how to give a woman the touch she craved. COMPLETE AND UTTER SMUT. Will have most of your favorite Skyrim hotties ;

The events of DA:I fallowing a certain Inquisitor and Commander. f!mage!inquisitor!trevelyanXcullen. Full summary inside. Warning: ages 18 (This is a 'M' rated story after all)

Haven changed a lot of things. The Herald became the Inquisitor, but that isn't why Cullen looks at her differently now. When Ora's clan asks for help against bandits, he goes to their aid personally, and she begins to see him differently too. Each Clan Lavellan war table mission serves as a milestone in their relationship. [f!LavellanxCullen] Slow build. Gradual romance.

The Reapers have been dealt with, and so too their creators. It should mean that Shepard and Kaidan can have a little peace. But something else lurks in the background that threatens to tear them and the galactic community apart. Follows 'Struggle' and 'Resistance'.

Circle Mage Alexandra Trevelyan was simply a spectator at the Conclave when the Temple of Sacred Ashes exploded, and everyone, including Cullen believes that her mark would save them all.

But in the darkest hours of a conspiracy that left her dead, Emily kidnapped, and Corvo to take the blame, the former Lord Protector walks a fine line between light and dark.

"Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear." The words awoke the scarred flesh on Nessa's back, setting her feet on a path to collecting a blood debt from her childhood. (AU This is NOT canon Skyrim. M-rating for a reason.)

Corypheus is dead, safety and security are restored to Thedas, and the Inquisition has new work to do. After the events of "Side by Side", new challenges await. Contains major spoilers for "Side by Side", "By His Side" (posted elsewhere), and the game itself. I recommend that you read "Side by Side" before starting this story or half the fun will be lost. Also smut. Lots of smut.

But watching the man who sees her as a good friend fall in love with the beautiful Herald turns out to be even harder than watching the world fall apart.

Will follow basic civil war and main quest lines.

(open to new title suggestions!) Velina was not a woman for marriage. She didn't believe it was for love, but for safety and convenience in the harsh world of the Nords. At least she didn't believe in love until she met that infuriating, oblivious, and handsome thief. BrynjolfxFemaleDragonborn

She's the Herald of Andraste, a Dalish elf, a wild woman that can be tamed by no man. He's the Commander of the Inquisition, an ex-Templar, and struggling between the man he was and the man he wishes to be. A budding romance would likely be squashed under the Inquisition's heel, but somehow it feels worth the risk. (Spoilers All. Rated M for a reason)

"He often teases her, goads her; inciting a reaction from her gives him an indescribable joy. He also dreams of her, of suffocating her with kisses and teaching her how a real man loves his woman."

A retelling of the Dragonborn's time with the Thieves' Guild, as seen by Brynjolf and a fellow female thief (OC). A prequel to "The Dragonborn & The Companion".

"Please! Just let me die!" I screamed but of course, who would ever listen to me. I'm only an experiment to them. Would you be any different? Would you risk your own life...for a monster? One that kills without reason, without a soul, but more importantly one that never had the chance to live. VincentXOC (Hiatus until rewrite is complete)

Various oneshots/drabbles about my Dragonborn, Althea Clayton, and Brynjolf.

Ah the obligatory "true or dare" fic! Every fandom needs one, don't they? (Answer: Yes) So for our story, I've decided to pit the Dark Brotherhood against the Thieves Guild in an epic game of "Truth or Dare." How fun!

HIATUS: Once known as the Shadow of Dunwall, Robyn Sark steals from the rich to give to the survivors of the Rat Plague until she is caught stealing in Dunwall Tower and ends up saving the lives of the Empress and her daughter. So she is offered a choice; be sent to Coldridge for theft or be taken on as apprentice to the Lord Protector... Follows the game. Eventual OC/Corvo.

She didn't have need for an assassin, but she couldn't very well reject the gift without angering the Serkonos regency. They were a traditional people with a traditional mind. She'd have to work around it. (A take on how Corvo Attano came to be the Royal Protector and the object of Jessamine's heart.) CorvoXJessamine mute!Corvo

(Previously 'Under The Willow') OC : Willow ride. 'Vengeance is not a finale, Corvo, Lord Protector, it's a game. It's an endless game, an endless circle of ugly events ending in blood and gore. I asked you for my life, and you refused.' Daud turned back to Corvo, and spoke the words that he dreaded. 'Now it's my turn.'

"Love is a foolish emotion, it only means you need a shorter knife." A pity he didn't heed those words when he first heard them - it did not become a thief to get tangled up in feelings. Story based around the events of the Thieves Guild in Skyrim from when Gallus is still alive to the present in game, major focus on Brynjolf, some slight changes to canon!

Months after the dragon crisis and the civil war, Saiyuri goes into hiding, avoiding her path as the Dragonborn. A red haired thief convinces her to join the Thieves Guild.

(Book One of the "Archer's Paradox: Shadowmarked" quartet.)

Needed to get this out of my system. Dovahkiin x Brynjolf. SMUT WARNING. Kind of a two or three-shot piece from the larger story I've been working on.

Full description in first chapter. Takes place 7 years after Dishonored. After being convicted of heresy by the new High Overseer, Corvo is forced to recuse himself from Emily's service to protect her image.
