One of my favorite tropes is the power couple. Just. Two people who are equally talented and hardworking and worthy of respect at different things, and then you add them TOGETHER? Magical.

Imagine your OTP seeing the best in each other, even when they don’t see it in themselves

“I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes, the body’s way of saying ‘I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time,’ you have no defenses when you are asleep, you tell no lies.”

I want all of it. Your sleepy mumbling. Your drunken embarrassment. Your silly faces. Your anger. Your dance moves. Your anxiety. Your apologies. Your sadness. Your stern looks. Your claustrophobia. Your exasperated tone. Your frustrations. Your past. I want all of it. I want all of you.

“One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.”

“The feel of her head against his shoulder, of her familiar body, sent a shock of emotion over him. His arms holding her had a tendency to tighten around her.”

Rest and Recovery

Pairing: Cullen/Female Warrior Trevelyan (Madelyn Trevelyan) Rating: SFW Summary: Madelyn finds Cullen asleep at her desk. Notes: This takes place some time after Corypheus has been defeated, after Cullen has permanently moved into Madelyn’s room.

Madelyn climbed the stairs into her room, more reports and paperwork for her and Cullen to go through cradled in her arms. 

“Cullen, I—”

She immediately shut her mouth as she reached the top of the staircase, catching a glimpse of him at her desk. He was fast asleep, his head lolled to the side with mouth hanging open, and his arm was dangling at his side over the arm of the chair.

Smiling at the sight, she quietly approached him, glad she wasn’t wearing her armor–it would have surely woken him up, depriving him of the rest he so clearly needed. They had both been very busy the past few days, and Cullen had been plagued by nightmares the night before, which cut into the little time they did have to sleep. 

When she reached the desk, she gathered the paperwork spread out on the surface with her free hand, staking it in a neat pile before placing the new paperwork she brought with her right beside it. Turning her attention to her sleeping lover, Madelyn watched the slow rise and fall of his chest as she brushed a stray curl back from his forehead. Cullen’s breath hitched in his throat, and for a moment she thought he would wake, but his breathing evened back out to the harsh inhales and exhales she was so accustomed to.

Madelyn allowed herself to watch him sleep a little longer before she rolled her shoulders and cracked her neck, shaking out her arms before crouching beside him. Sliding one arm behind his back and the other under his legs, she lifted him up in one fluid and steady motion, and carried him the short way to their bed, being careful not to jostle him too much as she walked.

I’m thinking about it now, and I really want to write a fic where Madelyn finds Cullen asleep…

It would probably be sometime after Corypheus is defeated, when he permanently moves into her room. And Madelyn just walks in and finds him asleep at the desk, completely out with a bunch of paperwork spread out before him. So she organizes the papers and all that, and then gently pulls the chair out from the desk, so she can pick him up and put him to bed–because come on, she’s a warrior, she’s totally strong enough to carry him around.

And when she gets him to their bed, she tucks him in and he wakes up a little bit. When he realizes what she did, he just smiles before tugging her into bed with him for cuddles. :)
