Summary
Cullen hasn't been the same since Kinloch. He was tortured by demons and blood mages. How could he be the same man after that?
Now, a decade later, he's part of something he truly believes in again in the Inquisition and he finds himself falling for the Inquisitor.A telling of the romance from Cullen's POV set from the start of In Hushed Whispers through to the end.
An attempt to touch on and maybe expand upon my take on Cullen's PTSD from Kinloch.

Summary
In the wake of her mother’s murder and the Qunari invasion of Kirkwall, Flora Hawke is adrift in grief and guilt. When she rescues a hapless drunk and fellow Fereldan from attempted murder in the midst of a street brawl, she’s astonished to learn the man had once pretended to the Fereldan Throne.
Six years exiled from his homeland, freshly installed in Kirkwall in search of work and purpose, Alistair wakes from a rough night in an unexpected predicament: stashed for safekeeping in the home of the Champion of Kirkwall.
Holed up together in Flora’s empty home, the pair work to uncover an assassination plot against the would-be king before it catches up to him. Tangled in parallels and coincidences, still battling their own shadows, Flora and Alistair surrender to the pull between them and find their way back into the light.

Summary
“If you want me to go, I will go. Conversation, done. Whatever this is, over.” Rook’s voice is soft enough that he has to strain to hear it. “Tell me to leave.”
Emmrich trusts her to lead: in battle, in planning, and in this.
He says nothing, and Rook kisses him.
Or, a planned conversation before killing a god goes a little differently than Emmrich had anticipated.

Summary
Cullen Rutherford's worst enemy and greatest asset is his own mind. Addicted to lyrium and dangerously, stupidly in love with the Herald of Andraste, it has sometimes tortured him, but it has always gotten him through. Until now. Haven is on fire, a demigod is stalking them, the Inquisition's war is about to kick off for real, and all he has to keep himself sane enough to survive is a beat up old journal.
Updated weekly!
The lovely people that have read it have said:
"I am so excited to read and reread and rereread this."
"Just love it. Absolutely superb....So delightfully poignant and painful."
"The tension! The action! The mystery! This gave me all of the Big Feelings. Bravo! 💗💗💗"
"super impressed with the depth and nuance of your insight."
"your characterization is spot on and TICKLES me."
“…if it's not official canon, it should be.”
“chills.”
“HELL. YEAH!”
“Heart-wrenching.”
“So good!”
“Absolutely incredible. Words fail me.”
“Wow! I can’t accurately express how beautifully this all rolls together now. Amazing.”
“Utterly devastated. This one was so beautiful.”
