Summary
Knight-Templar Lux is as silent and steady as the stone tower she's been raised to patrol, protecting the mages as best she knows how, even if that means from other Templars. Being isolated is a consequence she's used to. Being conversed with by one of the mages she's tried to protect? Not so much.
Written for 14 Days of Circle Mages 2025.

How to Evade a Templar by DalishRanger, Zellandine
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games)
18 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
A sequel to "A Very Un-Daring Escape". It's early 9:32 Dragon. Aderyn, the young Ferelden and reluctant apostate, traverses the wilds and towns of Orlais. Her friend and guardian, Delain, a curmudgeon of a Dalish whittler, guides the apostate through the wilds and tries to stay one step ahead of the templars. On the cusp of apprehension, the duo are aided by an unexpected ally in the form of a catty, blasphemous Orlesian mercenary. Meanwhile, the stress-relief arrangement between the templars Eldora and Marcel grows more complicated.
The original story was written back in 2011 after Dragon Age 2, so some lore may be a bit rusty. Where possible we'll try to clean up things. Part two of a series. More tags to be added as we go further through the work and refresh our memories on items to tag for.

Summary
For Cullen, the Inquisition was a chance to atone, to make peace with a Templar's regrets. For Evelyn, it was the chance to live a life free of the Circle's restraints and to reunite with the Templar brother she has not seen in twenty long years.
But even in the midst of chaos that follows, there are always quiet moments. Letters from a brother to a sister, separated by time and circumstance. Notes passed between friends, reveling in the gossip that surrounds a burgeoning hero. Strange figures met on the road...and sometimes closer to home. And the friendships and love that grows between the unlikeliest pairs.
This is the story of the Inquisition as told through the letters of its people. And the story of a former Circle mage and ex-Templar who, despite it all, find hope - and the chance at a future - in one another.

Please Don't Go Away - Act 3 by nekojinrogue
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age II

Summary
Picking up right where we left off in He Can Be Strong For Someone Else - Act 2.
Kirkwall is as hard to stomach as ever even though things have calmed down some.
All Cullen can do is the best he can. Try to uphold his duty and his conscience and straddle the gap between the two.
The thing is...lines are beginning to blur. All kinds of lines, not just between mages and templars or demons and magic.
He's still possessed, he still has nightmares, he still can't sleep. But maybe he's learning from all of this.Once again I state that I am being very fast and loose with the timeline here, so things can move and shift a bit to match up with the course of events for the story. Nothing is concrete except the scenes that have been detailed and if I come up with more scenes to add, they’ll come as new posts outside of each Act. I have thought of a few already.
(This story has taken on a life of its own - which forced a slight change to the title of this act.)Series

Summary
It's a daily struggle, a grind toward salvation.
Right now it feels impossible, there's no resolution and no end in sight, but at least Cullen is staying busy.
He has remembered what it is to try to be proactive. Or as proactive as one can be while insomnia and depression and anger and trauma all push and pull in every direction at once.But Cullen is trying his best. Thankfully, his best is pretty damn good.
Especially in the face of adversity.Plus, he's realizing...things that he accepted as truth... It really isn't. And these mages have a really shit time in Kirkwall. Even he has to admit that.

He's Not Okay - Act 1 by nekojinrogue

Summary
This is part of a series that will tell Cullin Rutherford's story, from Origins through DA2 and Inquisition.
This is my take on Cullin's story and his involvement on the sidelines and how his character developes over time.
Warnings will increase as the story progresses. For now, there will be plenty of gore and violence, demons, bloodmages, torture and PTSD. There will be some references to demonic non/con, but it will not be graphic.
Later in the series, the ratings may rise to Explicit, but not for a while. Poor Cullin has been too traumatized for love any time soon.Series

Summary
All his personal crap aside, Cullen is still the knight-captain, even if it is a sham. Since when has he ever shirked his duty?
He'll be the best damn knight-captain that he can manage with the tools that he has available.To do list :
Make nice with Alrik.
Get his circle under control. Thrask in, predatory templars out.
Pretend he's not a filthy traitor.
Control his Nightmares. Why is everything so Red suddenly?
Qunari...? No, that is not on the list. Get that crap out of here!
Did he always shout this much? Or is this new?Series

An Oath And A Promise by nekojinrogue
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age II
03 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
Cullen survived his run in with Anders. He has revealed his true identity and with that, he has had to decide what side he is on. Well, maybe that is being too generous. He's chosen a new loyalty and it honestly has nothing to do with sides, it has to do with hope for his soul and his survival. He has made a new oath and a new promise and he intends to keep them even if they are the only ones that he does. A drowning man will grasp at whatever is in reach.
Also, Anders has no idea what to make of this yet. It has him thinking about things he's not comfortable with.You can probably see the direction that this story is heading now.

Summary
Oh, Cullen, look at you go. Getting so much done. Making so many good decisions. He's doing his very best, just like always. He's a Force Multiplier. It gets him a promotion. Nothing sinister about that, just good hard work.
There's certainly nothing odd about his rage demon caressing his face and allowing him a good nights sleep for once. There's nothing to see here. You should move on.

Summary
The worst thing that can happen when someone goes through a severely traumatic experience and is in recovery from it......is to backslide right back into a new break. It's an all too common experience among those with Battle Sickness.
Unfortunately, Cullen is no common soldier and what he suffers from...well...it's certainly not common Battle Sickness.
On top of all his other shit......it's just another straw on the mabari's back. He's trying so hard not to break.
But there's only so much he can do on his own.Series

Summary
Cullen is beginning to come into his own at Kirkwall. He has an encouraging boss and a good friend to talk to and meaningful work to stay busy with. Only...maybe...maybe he really doesn't have all those things. Maybe he's just too suspicious for his own good. If he just closed his eyes and did what he was told, it would all be better... Wouldn't it?
Cullen is beginning to question everything...including his commanding officers... But he has more important things to occupy him, like those tunnels under The Gallows. He goes on an expedition of his own and rescues an escaped mage. A mage that knows too much for her own good or his. He did a good thing, right?All implied non-con occurs in the final nightmare at the very end and can be skipped without missing any real storyline.

Nightmare Confessions by nekojinrogue

20 Sep 2023
Tags
Summary
Four days into Cullen's first week in Kirkwall. He's starting to settle in to his new home, but even a young Rutherford can only push himself so far. Samson get's his first experience of his roommate's night terrors, but his reaction is surprising. Samson demands an explanation and Cullen finally has someone to talk to. How much can he really tell?
Graphic descriptions of past blood, gore, and violence. Demons, demons, and more demons. Blood mages. Referenced suicide/death of npc's. So many dark tags on this one. Either I'm getting better at tags or this storyline is getting serious.
Hope you are enjoying my take on Cullen's difficulties.Series
