Help me find a fic, please!

Hello!

Could anyone help me find a fic that I suddenly got the urge to read after many, many years. The fic is from the POV of an original female character who joins the Inquisition with her partner, who is a fighter. Quite a bit later into the story, he dies during a mission.

I think she works for the Inquisition either as a healer or some sort of archiver or something like that. Definitely not as a fighter. She very much starts on the outskirts of the main story but eventually she becomes friends with the main cast and develops a romance with Cullen. I think I remember her being in the Adamant Fortress battle for some reason.

I wish I could remember more details! I know I really liked it and I'm a bit worried it may have been deleted because I couldn't find it after digging around in AO3.

Would he have confessed

Hey so I'm aware that the Cullen romance was added late in the game development and it doesn't help that he is not a companion so there wasn't really any party banter from companions about his romance besides a comment from Sera and Dorian (sad...🥲). So I have been making little banters in my head to help fill in that emptiness, one of the banters I've come up with is if you bring Varric and Dorian along after the confession that they will mention how they betted on who would initiate the romance and how it would happen and then it gets revealed that everyone was in on it besides Cassandra since she would just accidentally spill the beans to either the Inquisitor or to Cullen.

But then it got me thinking if the Inquisitor had flirted long enough and not initiate the confession conversation would he had confessed first and how would it go....

Also if you want to share some banters you have come up with for the Cullmance I would love to hear it! I'm kinda making my own story about my Inquisitor from before she went to conclave and up to the events of the of the Exalted Council. So some ideas would be nice.

Help finding a fic I read ages ago

Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone could help me find a fanfic I read awhile ago and can't seem to find again.

Plot is Cullen x Original Character (female)

She's a soldier under his command and they slowly develop feelings for each other. I think it was a slow burn. That's not a lot of info but i'm struggling to remember any plot points. I think he was injured and she helped him (?)

Thanks guys!

[DAV Spoilers] Question about Cullen romancing Inquisitors

I am playing my canon Inky who romanced Solas and I know there's some dialogue where she mentions him later on.

Was curious if anyone was playing with their Cullen romanced Inquisitor first and if there was any dialogue about Inky and Cullen :( Because he deserves a shout out right?

Help me find a Cullen Fanfic by the Quote!

Hi! For the Fic-readers of the sub, could you help me find the fic with this quote:

"When she finally wakes properly, it is with the sense that a good few days have passed. By the looks of him, Cullen has been awake as long as she’s been asleep, slumped in a chair by her beside, the room otherwise deserted. His eyes are unfocused as he looks straight ahead at nothing in particular, looking exhausted and worried, but the minute she stirs his attention snaps straight back to her."

I have this quote saved, but forgot to add which fic was this. Google can't find it. Is there any way to searchao3 by the text on the body of the work instead of tags? Does it ring a bell to anyone? Thanks!

Fanfic Search

I’m searching for a Cullen/OC fanfic that I used to love. I remember the girl isn’t one often noticed. She’s super shy. She had run away with her dad because she fought off a guy who tried to SA her. Cullen buys her a cloak and starts to fall in love. She is eventually judged by the inquisitor who was an elf romancing solas. And she’s judged innocent. I can’t remember any thing else and I’m having the hardest time finding it.

Cullen x Trevelyan - Without You

Hey guys! I recently did a video and it’s gotten a lot of praise lately so I’m guessing it must be good…so I decided to share it here as well.

This video was 7 months in the making and has about 10 different versions but I’m very proud of the final cut.

I hope you enjoy it 🤗

Help in finding a lost fic

Hello hello!

I know it's a longshot, but I figured I'd try. I'm trying to find a deleted AO3 fic called The Lovers (VI), by winebearcat.

It was written all the way back in 2015 and I am hoping some of you may have saved it in any form before it was deleted.

Can you please help me find it? I'd really want to read it.

Yes, this is another Fanfic lost and found post!

As the title says, I am having trouble finding a long lost story. I lost all of my bookmarks when my PC went to the Makers side.
Anyway! I am looking for a particular fic to help me through this cold. I can remember the plot, mostly.

It was a Lavellan/Cullen pairing. She had been with Solas, but upon his...well, leaving Cullen helped her pick up the pieces--they fell in love, etc. I do believe it was on AO3.
It was a heartbreaking, and breathtaking story. If anyone can help me find it I'd be super thankful!

As always, any story featuring a similar plot will be adored.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

Fanfic hunt

I am looking for a dragon age fanfic; specifically a Cullen Rutherford/original character one.

I recall the plot vaguely. to sum it up, the storyline takes place after Dragon Age with Cullen having established a sanctuary for former templars and enlisting the aide of a female healer. I know there was a secondary pairing (Rosalie x Barris) but this is all I can remember. I also remember it was on A03.

I’m sorry but…

I got the game this Xmas on sale with no expectations never heard of it before, tried it loved it! Naturally fell for Cullen! I had all the DLC included and trespasser and the outro had me giggling and kicking my feet

Cue the second play through for the lore accurate solas romance and UGH YAWN, yes angst heart break but all he does is call you beautiful and “not like other girls(elves)” while being racist to his own people 🫠

Cullen supremacy 😤 baby boy

Atleast cullen takes you on the desk, solas just grabs ur ass and breaks up with you

I just wanted to edit now that I’ve finished trespasser-

Um going to ur room alone after the party DEPRESSING

Cullen helping ex templars- Nobel but I should be there 😤

AvvarCullen/Inquisitor Story.

When the Storm Breaks.

Words:101,547, Chapters:19 (Updates weekly on Fridays.)

Cullen Rutherford/Female Trevelyan - Avvar Cullen Rutherford/Inquisitor.

Avvar Post-Trespasser Canon AU:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14727380

The sky dark with ominous black clouds was now almost pitch, the wind was wailing, admonishing, forewarning - like the Dread wolf howling into the night. She did not even register her abrupt change of direction, too lost to her screaming. Suddenly the whole world muted and calmed, and finally - finally - her tortured shrieks blissfully fell silent the instant her head hit the ground...

In a world in which darkness never rests, what ill-fated fortune awaits the former Inquisitor and the clan of Stone Bear Hold? Will Cullen stand with a Lowlander to face the newest demons threatening them? Will she overcome tragedy to find harbour in the arms of an Avvar? Or will the Dread Wolf's bite continue to kill?

Drew Cullen and my Herald of Andraste

She shares the leadership of the Inquisition with my Cassandramancing Inquisitor since she's more or less just a religious figure with the Herald title

Anyway I hope you guys like this!

Fic if anyone is interested

Hello all! I'm relatively new to the Cullen experience, wanted to say hi, and humbly offer my fic for those who may be interested.

I started writing a Solavellen fic that spans DAI back in April and it has since evolved into a Cullavellan fic (porn with plot) set between DAI and Trespasser.

The Quizzy I made for this has a long and complicated background, developed over the course of the original Solas romance fic, so it might not be everyones cup of tea. Still, I wanted to post here and see if anyone is interested in reading some freeform NSFW smut of our favorite strapping, young Templar as my Quizzy drags him around Thedas.

I do intend to go all the way through the Trespasser storyline with this so my two idiot love birds can have their happy ending. Right now I am working on Chapter 16 and am about 114,000 words deep with another 5 chapters planned out before I get into the 10 or so that I am still outlining for Trespasser.

Lmk if this interests anyone and I will post what I have (and probably cross-post from AO3) as I keep going.

Thanks for reading!
