    Continuation of Saga Of A Templar

    Cullen Rutherford has issues.
    He has been demon possessed, he has been tortured, he has been turned on and abandoned and forsaken by those he trusted, those he cared about, those he worshiped.
    He has also has found true friends where he least expected them.

    Cullen is now the Teyrn of Western Ferelden and serving the Inquisition. He has forsaken the templar Order and founded his own order of the Verumque where mages and knights are treated as equals and work together toward a common cause - To Serve Ferelden. Or, that's the intention.

    His demon Wrath has now become Valor after making an accord with a feral mabari lost in the Frostback mountains. Valor is at Cullen's side as his guard and companion now.
    Cullen is still restling with his remaining demon which he has named Reverie. He's realizing his mistake.

    Can his companions help him find true freedom and salvation before the Elder One comes for him?
    Will they even figure out what he truly suffers from?
    Can he even ask for the help he needs?

    Posts will come a bit slower for this part.

    Summary

    Healing is never a straight forward path. There are always bumps and backslides along the way, and Cullen has to contend with commanding the Inquisition’s army to help prevent the end of the world. He can't turn his back on his mistakes, and while he can’t fix everything Cullen still strives to do better. Not just for himself but for his two children.

    Luckily in the Inquisition he has friends to help him and who can catch him when he stumbles on his path, but no one can shield him from Orlesian politics.

    This story takes place between Into the Abyss and Wicked Minds, Wicked hearts, and is inspired by wumptober prompts I wrote taking place in an omegaverse au. I wanted to explore the au I created with a focus on healing instead of angst and explore how class, culture, and species changed the way characters viewed the different endotype/sex combinations in an omegavers au.

    Summary

    This is my vision of how Cullen's life has gone during all three Dragon Age games as the tortured side character. He is the main character of these stories.
    If you have not read the entire series, you will not understand what is happening. I am not that good a writer to make each story stand-alone. Too much work.

    Cullen is possessed of two demons that constantly war with each other and pull him to and fro.
    Previously, Wrath was dominant.
    Now, in his heartbroken state, it is Despair that runs things.
    His struggle is real.

    Wrath is Italics text. Despair is small text.
    Expect Updates will not be as fast as previous stories, as I am writing this one from scratch and without concrete guidelines.

    This is not the story that I originally intended to write. Cullen has gone completely off the rails. He will not go along with the flow. He will not listen. He will not conform. He is doing his own thing and, as much as I want to keep this true to the game, this is now truly AU.

    Summary

    Since his arrival at Haven, Bull has had little to worry about aside from deciding how he gets his coffee from the handsome barista who works at the Herald’s Rest. But after a particularly nasty hunt which results on him coming face to face with a werewolf, Bull will have to decide if his reaction to the beast is purely survival driven, or if he truly has found something familiar deep in those haunting golden eyes.

    Summary

    Bull finds Dorian has stayed up all night with Cullen.

    Takes place after chapter 7 of Call it Magic and probably won't work as a stand-alone piece. But I'm not your mom, I won't tell you what to read.

    Summary

    The Commander always believed himself to be straight. A fan of softer lines and a softer face, a gentle smile and hands smaller than his own. He's never been told that's wrong except in the face of demons. So when the young Trevelyan, with his soft face and hard lines, gentle smile and hands the size of his own, confesses interest, Cullen finds himself questioning a few things.
