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.

After the Conclave blows up, throwing the world into chaos, our beloved leaders of Inquisition finds the Mark that can close fade rifts on one Jocelyn Trevelyan, who is just like every other noble; whiny and incompetent. Thus, our favorite Warden Solona Amell must sweep in and save the world from the evil darkspawn magister from dawn of time. Alternate Universe.

When the Divine called for the Conclave to end the Mage/Templar war, no one expected things to fall perfectly into place, but the sky tearing open and spitting demons every which way was a bit much. Add to that that the only survivor is a no-name woodlands apostate who, by all accounts, shouldn't have even been present. Truly, the odds are against the newly formed Inquisition.

The Warden starts a civil war in the name of the Bastard Prince. Not that Alistair had any say in the matter. Solona and Cullen, free from the Circle, search for safe harbor in a kingdom on fire. [soulbond au, multi POV, multi-pairing] (SEQUEL TO BRIGHT THINGS)

What if Dorian wasn't the only one to come to Haven after the events in Redcliffe? He brings a companion with him. His partner in crime as it were. So the Inquisition gains not one but two new powerful allies. **Final chapter updated!** "The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life." Richard Bach

Solana Amell is no hero, of Ferelden or otherwise. Alistair ended the Blight. Alistair died. She ran. For ten years after Alistair's death, she traveled. She commanded no Wardens, she fought no wars. She kept to herself and tried to forget. Then the sky split open. The Thedas she discovers when she finally comes down from the mountains is entirely different. Only the Inquisition

Intercept a lady's phylactery, get conscripted with her. What are the 3 remaining Grey Wardens in Ferelden going to do to end the blight. Rate M for adult content, especially in later chapters. I skip large chunks in the story, because it would be boring to replicated the games story at times

A gift and a curse in the form of blue fire, a demon haunting every dream. She had spent years trying to master her magik, all the while enduring abuse at the hands of the Templars at Kinlock Hold. She trusted no one who wasn't a mage like her. When a former Templar comes to her rescue and she befriends a Tevinter mage, though, she begins to learn to trust again, even how to love.

No one could have predicted Inquisitor Amell and her Commander would have a history. Based on the intensity of their hatred for each other, no one would have ever guessed that once, a lifetime ago, they were something very different. Ten years before the Conclave, there was a spirited young mage and a templar who would have broken every rule in the book to keep her safe.

Alistair's been King for a good sixteen or so years, and thinks he's finally got a grasp on it when assassins threaten him and his kids. In response to this new threat he takes on a personal bodyguard. Seemingly plucked at random, he finds he can't stop blushing whenever she laughs.

Cullen thought he lost Lana Amell when she sacrificed herself to remain in the fade, but now the king of Ferelden has her phylactery and insists she's alive somewhere on the other side of thedas. Can he trust this man he barely knows as they travel through treacherous waters and lands while searching to find the woman he loves? All he has to cling to is his faith and hope.

Who thought being the son of two great war generals, the bastard daughter of a King, or the future Queen would be easy? Action, humor, romance, and a wily assassin all await inside of this new story. F/M F/F

It's gifts all around when Alistair asks for his best friend's aid in making his wife's name-day celebration one to remember. (Re-Edited)

She wanted nothing more than to stay in the Circle, to learn and to teach. But the Blight had other ideas. Cullen/Amell, Alistair/Amell

Hawke travels to Skyhold to help the Inquisition at Varric's request. Though she's hiding her pain well, Varric feels it necessary to enlist the help of an old ..."friend" to help Hawke realize she isn't entirely alone. From her first steps in Skyhold to her departure at Adamant, this is a story about Hawke learning how to let go, say goodbye, and heal.

After the Hero of Ferelden thinks she stumbled into a way to cure the taint and shares it with King Alistair, neither of them took into account any unexpected side effects emerging 9 months later. Two unexpected pregnancies, two unplanned babies, two terrified fathers, hilarity ensues. A follow up to Guarded Love and the rest of the My Love series.

After defeating the Archon and settling Meridian, Sara and Liam Kosta discover their future is arriving a lot sooner than planned. With so much work left to do in Heleus, can they pull their lives together before two becomes three? And what does an impending infant mean for the family and crew of the Tempest? (Rated M for mature themes in potential future chapters.)

"The truth is relative it depends on the lens through you observe it. Reality is the question of relativity. A madman thinks the projections of his mind are real. A faithful thinks the subject of his worship is real. For them, these things are flesh and blood." Rated M for violence and sexual content. Part 1 of the Dance of the Phoenix.

In another life, in a far away tower, mage and templar were kept apart by duty and circumstance. Long years later, touched by the long arm of fate, they are reunited as the Hero of Ferelden and the Commander of the Inquisition. Perhaps, in this second chance, they can simply be Cullen and Lyanna. A sequel to "Mage and Templar."

Dark clouds brew over Ferelden these days. An unfortunate merchant is being hunted by a mysterious blood mage, for an Icon he no longer possesses. The Grey Wardens have agreed to give him aid, joined alongside by the former General of the Inquisition. Together they must defeat the maleficar and uncover the truth behind the missing Icon, or fall victim to untold horror.

So, they are still figuring it out – and so is the rest of the crew (Liam Kosta/Sara Ryder). Chapter 5 - Bonus Chapter

What if Alistair grew up telling a lie? A terrible lie that changed his whole outlook on the world? Alistair and the Warden die at Ostagar. Flemeth fixes things. Poorly. [soul bond au, Alistair POV] COMPLETE! Sequel: "Necessary Evils"

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)

After six years in Kirkwall, Cullen never thought he'd see the mighty Hero of Ferelden ever again until one night when she appeared unannounced in his room requesting him to help her track down a dangerous blood mage. Can he come to terms with his unrequited love while traveling across thedas and into the Deep Roads? Or could she be the start of thawing his hatred of mages?

Cecily Trevelyan loves The Tale of the Champion, but she knows she's no Juliet Hawke. She's cautious, shy, and would never have picked herself to save the world. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like she has a choice. Mage Trevelyan/Cullen. Minor updates from version posted at AO3 and Wattpad.

Before he was commander of the Inquisition's forces, he was just a another young templar. Before she was the Hero of Ferelden, she was just another mage apprentice. And Varric is determined to get the tale of how mage met templar.

A little Halloween/Fall Solstice story with Cullen to get everyone into the autumn mood. Six months after their wedding, Cullen and Lana Amell visit his sister's farm. Being a mage, Lana missed out on all the traditions that came with All Soul's Day and Cullen is ecstatic to teach them all to her. Lots of Fluff & Kissing. I'll be updating a new chapter every Tuesday in October.

The Warden Commander has agreed to aid the Inquisition in whatever way she can. But her unexpected arrival stirs up more trouble than intended when paths cross with old lovers and companions alike. Perhaps she would have fared better staying back at Vigil's Keep instead.

A surprise sequel to My Hope. After Cullen rescues Lana Amell from the fade, the two of them find their lives at a junction. With no Grey Wardens, no Circles, and no Inquisition, what will they do? All they have is each other and a lot of questions. Pretty much a bunch of fluff, some tears, then more fluff of Cullen, Lana, Leliana and others running around in Val Royeaux.

Azzura Amell lost Alistair when he became the King of Ferelden After Amaranthine's assault six years later, she comes back to South Thedas to offer her help to the Inquisition and there she finds the man she abandoned for a greater good. Will Cullen forgive her for leaving him? REPOSTED due to some technical problems; no changes will be done to the earlier chapters.

During a patrol after leaving Haven, Cullen and Cassandra come across a group of people inches from death. One turns out to be Solona Amell. They take them in and Cullen manages to convince himself that Amell's presence in the Inquisition is tactical, but too many things have gone unsaid between them for it to be just that. The trick's trying to deal with that and the new threat.

We all have our Hero of Ferelden, our Champion of Kirkwall and our Inquisitor. Cullen Rutherford has been through it all with all of them in some capacity; but what if he had a single love through it all? Rated M for explicit sexual content as well as language.

Three years after allowing Marian Hawke to escape Kirkwall, a disgraced Cullen is sent on a desperate quest to find her. Can he earn her trust in time to regain what he's lost and finally redeem them all for the role they played in igniting the mage-templar war? Set in 9:40, after the events of DA2 and Asunder, now slightly AU to DA:I. Now rated M.

When the Hero of Ferelden agreed to help Hawke solve the mystery of the red lyrium she never thought it'd draw her back into Cullen's life. When the world's falling down around her and her own blood is trying to kill her, she knows she has no right to rekindle what they began in the deep roads. Then why can't she stop thinking about him. Sequel to My Warden

Sequel to "Shadows in the Light". After the failure of the Inquisition, Cullen gets a second chance to make things right. Fen'Harel however has other plans. Unbeknownst to the Dread Wolf, so does the Lion.

With the Blight upon them, Duncan begins the task of gathering new recruits to fill the Grey Wardens ranks. When their leader perishes during the battle at Ostagar, the new Wardens are left with the burdens of gathering an army and stopping a political war. With just a hand full of new Grey Wardens, will it be enough for them to stop the Blight, end a civil war and survive?

Cullen and F. Trevelyan escape to Honnleath to evade their political duties. During their travels, Cullen stumbles upon the Hero of Fereldan. Before the Inquisition, before Kirkwall, Cullen remembers a time when he was once just a Templar saddled with a burgeoning Mage in a crumbling Circle.

Corruption within the Grey Warden ranks pushes Wardens Alistair and Solana Amell to seek the aid of the Inquisition. Reunited with the old object of his infatuation, Commander Cullen must come to terms with his feelings for his old charge and the realization that she may be taken by another. [CullenxF!AmellxAlistair] [CassandraxM!TrevelyanInquistor] Implied [F!MageHawkexAnders].

The threat of impending Blight, rogue Templars, rebellious mages and the forbidden romance, with a pinch of angst and complications on the side to spice things up. In this rendition of the mage storyline from Origins I try to answer the question of what would happen to an Amell who wasn't recruited into the wardens (and If I do my job right, you can skip part 1 and jump right in).

Despite everything that has (and hasn't) happened between Cullen Rutherford and Solona Amell, they never can forget each other. Amell has, in theory, moved on: not just once, but twice. Cullen has tried to lock his memories away with his lyrium. But even as time goes on, part of him clings to his ill-advised infatuation with the mage that was barely his, for barely a moment.

Solona Amell and Anders are best friends-with benefits. That...benefit them often. But she is secretly in love with Cullen, the shy, reserved templar, who just happens to be the not-so-unwilling witness to one of their...ahem...tender moments. That becomes the catalyst for a dangerous affair-with unforeseen outcomes. Cullen/Solona Amell, Anders/Solona, Cullen/Solona/Anders

After crawling through information before setting out on her hunt to solve the Calling, the Hero of Ferelden makes a grave discovery that will change everything for Alistair. But how can she convince Fiona to tell him the truth? TW: Miscarriage

Two-shot. The end of a relationship does not mean it remains lost forever. Cullen/Amell from DAO to DAI. Rated T for safety.

A series of letters with words never said. If he'd had the courage, he would have told her years ago in the Tower; but somehow it was easier to write it down on paper, get it out into open and brace himself in the coming weeks for her reply.

What would happen to Amell, if she was never recruited in the wardens? This is my take on her story. And because I love the slow build-up of a romantic relationship, with a sprinkle of angst and complications added in the mix, it will feature an eventual romance with Cullen. Rated M, just to be on the safe side. Eventual sauciness on the horizon.

Where the Hero of Ferelden suddenly finds herself with new titles - most notably the Herald of Andraste - and with all the people who vowed to serve the Inquisition. Amell/Cullen.

Sequel to The One Who Protects. Cullen has left the Templar Order and becomes the Commander of the Inquisition. Even though they can't be together, Amell follows. With the world in peril, the two of them try to find their places within it. The final chapter of Amell and Cullen's love story.

Sequel to The One Who Watches. Three years after the attack on the tower, Amell and Alistair are transferred to Kirkwall. Armed with a mission from the Divine, Amell has her own mission, reunite with the man she lost. But Cullen isn't the same man he was. When she turns his ordered world upside down for the second time, the war between duty and love reignites. AU

Alistair was never recruited by the Grey Wardens. Instead he was stationed at the circle tower in Ferelden. He watches as a templar and mage dance around their feelings for another. As he's drawn into his own dance with the mage, the conflict between duty and love war inside.

Solona Amell couldn't ignore the plea from the inquisition. However upon arriving at Skyhold, she's faced with a man from her past she never quite got over. With her heart captured by another, can she resist her attraction or will she end up breaking the Commander's heart? Cullen/Amell/Alistair.

It bugged me that despite it being possible to have Alistair, Leliana, Morrigan, and Varric in Skyhold they never talk between each other. So I wrote a little story of Alistair reminiscing with some old friends in the tavern.

Originally posted on Tumblr as a Secret Santa present. A short story about how Cullen met Amell for the first time.

Setting: Post DA2. Cullen has been given the position of Knight-Commander after the templars defeated the mages. He was settling into his new title quite nicely until someone from his past walked into his office. What she asks of him will test his loyalty to the Order and force him to question everything he once stood proudly for. It will also test his heart. F!Amell/Cullen.

Sequel to An Uneasy Alliance. Toriana begins to understand the things she carries with her, both tangible and intangible, and what others carry as well. As she learns to deal with her own burden, there is always one certain person there to help her.

Tormented by a demon who wears his former lover's face, Cullen recalls the journey that brought him and Thais Amell together, and the heartache that followed in it's wake.
