After We Fell Apart by CES3725
Fandoms: Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age: Inquisition
17 Aug 2015
Tags
Summary
Not all relationships can stand the test of time—especially when said relationship blossoms in tandem with the mounting pressures from the Inquisition.
Cullen and the Inquisitor grow apart just before Corypheus is defeated. In the aftermath, the tension between them and Cullen’s worsening symptoms from his lyrium withdrawal convince him to leave his post and return to South Reach to be with his family. Almost two years later, the Inquisitor arrives there on business and sees him again for the first time. Unsurprisingly, he has not gotten any less handsome, and she is not any less regretful about what happened between them. But reconciliation is not an easy process, nor is it an inevitable one.

She is tired. The world is ash and dust, and she has lost so many pieces of herself; markings and heart, left arm and left eye, trust and faith. It has become such a painful thing, to love him. And yet.
And yet.

Summary
“There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”
“And the other?” Fenris demanded.
“Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”
“Merrill?”
_Hawke was left in the Fade. Fenris goes looking for him. He doesn't go alone.

Summary
For the kink meme prompt:
Josephine holds an Orlesian-style ball at Skyhold and everyone is to attend masked and out of uniform. Trevelyan decides that this is the perfect time to blow off some steam without giving anyone reason to brag about having slept with the Herald of Andraste, so she finds a partner for some masked, inebriated, anonymous sex.
Unfortunately, she didn't realize that her stressed out, buttoned-down Commander had the same idea...

Summary
“What is it that you do not like about him?” Josephine asks suddenly, and Ellinor looks at her, open-mouthed. Scandalized.
“What is it—that I don’t like?” she sputters. “It’s Cullen who doesn’t like me! He—he chastises me. He underestimates me. He’s always in a bad mood and—and he just…” She takes a deep breath. Stop it, she thinks; she’s let her emotions get the best of her. A rare loss of control. She smooths her jacket instinctively. “He looks at me and he sees a highborn girl with nothing to offer the Inquisition but a mark on my hand. He judges me entirely by who I was. Not by who I’m trying to be.”

Summary
He can’t even remember the name of the Templar that had suggested it to him, when he was a recruit, weeks fresh. A journal. To track his progress, make note of things he should not wish to forget, a place to pour his feelings of homesickness, of inadequacy. His hopes, aspirations, successes… failures. A place without judgement. A place to remember that held in each blank page, and each new day was a chance to do the Maker’s work. A chance to do better.
A chance to be a better man.
--
A multi POV retelling of Inquisition, through the eyes of a rather broken Cullen Rutherford, an equally broken Lavellan, and the Commanders faithful journals.
or, How Inquisition could have been if DA had been less choose-your-own-adventure, overall.

Summary
Evelyn Trevelyan only came to the Conclave at the behest of her cousins, who feared disruption by one or more agents of the smugglers who stood to profit from chaos. Nothing could have prepared her for what happened there or what followed, leading her down a path of grief but also hope - hope in finally letting go of her troubled past and the shadowed guilt consuming her, and hope to build a better world.
When someone like the Commander of the Inquisition forces believes in you with such strength and conviction, after all, it's hard not to stand a little taller.

Summary
Being conscripted into the Grey Wardens was the best thing that ever happened to the casteless Sirra Brosca. By saving her life, Duncan gave her a chance to live a new one, on her terms, and she gladly walked away from Orzammar with a skip in her step.
Alistair was not prepared to discover Duncan's newest recruit was a damnable pretty dwarven woman who quickly turns his world upside down. Neither of them expected Ostagar to go south and leave them as the only Grey Wardens in Ferelden.
Now, the two remaining Wardens are all that stands between the hubris of men and a Blighted scourge. Recruiting a motley crew of companions as they work to build an army, they strive to protect a land bent on self-destruction.
Can a dwarf raised to believe she was worthless and a bastard prince truly save the world before the Archdemon devours them all? Will they be able to hold onto their own happiness in the face of politics and the duty that cannot be forsworn?

Summary
A big, sweeping tale of two mature people coming together and trying to make it work, despite their pasts. Told in the Inquisition's own words, through letters, personal journal entries, and reports.
Humor, sex, friendship, and most of all, romance. My Inquisitor is a capable and slightly odd mage, who finds herself in a strange dance with a good man, who wants only to atone for his past and build a new life for himself. Can people whose lives were forever altered by the Circles truly find a future together?

Summary
Hawke gingerly stroked Fenris’s green and glowing palm, then looked up at him with wide eyes. “Well, I guess that’s the end of our years in hiding, isn’t it?”
Fenris surreptitiously looked around. Everyone in Haven was staring at them, from the quartermaster to the soldiers and the refugees and the Chantry sisters.
He hunched his shoulders defensively. “So it seems,” he grunted. He didn’t like being stared at, and he never had. But with this blasted magical mark on his hand, it didn’t seem that he had much choice in the matter.
Little did Fenris realize that being stared at was going to be the least of his problems.
**************
IN A NUTSHELL: Fenris is the Inquisitor, and is not very pleased about it. Rynne Hawke, on the other hand, loves making new friends.
This fic is a sequel to my canon Fenhawke romance, which you can read in the rest of this series, particularly A Tantrum and a Know-It-All Grin. It covers the entire game, including Trespasser.Series

Summary
This never should’ve happened.
We never should’ve met.
Love shouldn't bloom from such tragedy, and yet here I stand falling for a woman many consider the messenger of Andraste.
It's blasphemous.There's something more to the Commander.
I could feel it.
Something beneath the ex- Chantry boy's diffidence, something primal.
But I'm now considered a key figure in the religion he follows.
And even though I know I'm still just a woman, he sees someone closer to his god than he's ever known.
Still, I won't stop trying to bring out the Lion I know lurks beneath all that armor.- Language:

The commander of the Inquisition is in love with the Inquisitor. It's probably fairly obvious to anyone with eyeballs. But fumbling into a relationship isn't easy when you're haunted by your past and events conspire to interrupt.
(Cullen-centric, romance, an attempt to expand on the events of the game)

Summary
Athenna Lavellan never saw herself as much of a leader. When fate rears its ugly head, however, she is thrown into a place filled to the brim with shems calling her the Herald of Andraste. She has no choice now but to step up and save the world. She learns she is not alone when she gains the friendships of an unlikely group of heroes and a charming commander.
This story is a novelization of DAI with a strong focus on the Cullen/Lavellan relationship.
Some plot changes, scenes moved/replaced with original writing. I tried to stray from word by word DAI and put my own little twist on it. Please enjoy!
