Summary: The Inquisitor enjoys seeing Cullen flustered much to Ser Rutherford’s disapproval Word count: 492 A/N: this isn’t necessarily an x reader but more so a fic about Cullen and my female inquisitor Fiona (because I love them my little boopsies). That being said I’m not gonna use a name but I will be using she/her pronouns and describing her appearance-wise like my inquisitor so if you want to interpret this as an x reader be my guest just know it’s not really intended to be one!! >< Warnings: none!!

It was hard for him to focus.

Cullen was supposed to be inspecting the newest recruits forms- making sure they knew which side to grip their blade from and how to properly hold their shields, not stumble around like a blundering idiot.

But oh it was impossible. The inquisitor was much to pretty to be out on a battle field like this.

Her pale skin turned rosy from the cold, her breaths coming out in clouds of air each time she spoke.

Speaking of which, Cullen had not been listening to a single word she’d been saying. Far too busy nodding his head and staring at the way her golden eyelashes fluttered with each blink.

“Do you take vows?” Asked the inquisitor, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her pointed ear.

“Excuse me?” Flustered Cullen, snapping from his reverie to look the inquisitor in her eyes before clearing his throat.

“The order.” She smiled, clearly sensing that Cullen’s mind had been elsewhere during their conversation. Cullen groaned internally, wishing he could kick himself in the head.

“We uh… vow to serve the Maker yes.” He explained, busying his hands with straightening invisible wrinkles in his jacket. “And to protect the world from dangerous uses of magic.”

The inquisitor hummed thoughtfully, rocking back and forth on her heels playfully before shooting Cullen a small smile.

“And physical temptations… do templars have to abstain from such things?” She asked, her wide eyes much to kind to be hinting at such things.

Cullen’s face went bright pink, choking on his own spit in an attempt to respond to the inquisitor.

“We um- uh… I-“ he stumbled, coughing slightly as he cleared his throat. “We can marry your worship… but uh… templars seldom do so…”

The inquisitor seemed to pout playfully at that, though the mirth in her eyes spoke unsaid volumes to how much fun she was having teasing Cullen.

“Some templars do vow celibacy in dedication to the maker however…” Cullen explained, trying to retain a modicum of decency trying to push the sudden barrage of unwanted thoughts pertaining to him and the inquisitor from his mind.

“And have you?” She asked, that deceptively adorable smile gracing her lips once more. “Taken such a vow?”

“No…” Cullen coughed, kicking himself mentally for responding to quickly. Don’t look so desperate Rutherford…

“Maker can we please speak of something else?” Begged the previous Templar knight, his skin felt like it was on fire and if his heart were to beat any faster Cullen feared dropping to the floor dead in front of all his new recruits.

“Mm… I suppose…” sighed the inquisitor teasingly, giving in to this torturous game of cat and mouse between them. “Tell me about life in the Circle Cullen.”

Andraste, the way she can change the subject like she wasn’t just inadvertently asking to pin Cullen to the wall five seconds ago.

Maker knows this inquisition will be the death of him.

HIHIHI Sorry for being dead I almost failed college el-oh-el but everything’s okay now!!!! I had my birthday last week and have been chilling in my dorm with my kitty (my ass somehow escaped academic probation) for the last few days when I decided to finally finish one of my drafts TT I hope you enjoyed this short Drabble

“This part, what you have now, I just miss the banter about friends.” — The Inquisitor in DAV

This line made me so sad. I fear when the Inquisition disbanded (if you so chose), she lost a lot of the people she had grown close with. We get to experience that again with Rook, but we don’t see our Inquisitor’s side of that. One thing I do wish is that Inky brought up her partner (if they had one) because I want to know that she’s doing well with Cullen despite the world once again going to shit. I love this game but I miss the Inquisition, it was just as much of a home for me.

I feel like Cullen would really vibe with Disco Elysium send tweet

I found my old Dragon Age arts. I drew them in 2019. I think they deserve attention 👀

[emptyshellofanillusionwizard]

please enjoy this very sloppy scribble of the inquisitor and commander toking up some elfroot... it helps them with the chronic pain

[underprivilegedcactus]

Absolutely love this but I also wanted to add how much of a missed opportunity the whole situation the Herald of Andraste plot point was. I feel like there should have been a lot more situations and issues your character has to deal with in a religious capacity.

This could have had shades of Dune Messiah where your character has to walk a knife's edge with keeping control of rabid followers that try to commit atrocities in our name while still maintaining their support to avoid them turning on us.

We could have had some extra nuance and drama concerning romances, where perhaps the Inquisitor finds themselves wondering if their partner loves them for them and not just because they are a religious icon (especially with the Cullen and Cassandra romance arcs).

Maybe we find people worshipping our image or even at our bedroom door, hoping for a blessing or to witness some miracle. Maybe we see banners, shields, and amulets that sport our face. Maybe we even find out that merchants are selling "relics" of ours (fake or real) and now we have to make a decision on what to do about it.

We might even get asked to attend an Andrastian service, either to facilitate, make a speech at, or even just be present for.

I loved Inquisition, but for a game that features a nearly deified character, we really don't see as much concerning their day-to-day effect on religion as you'd expect.

Big fan of the culmination of the Inquisitor/Cullen romance being they settle down with a dog somewhere in Ferelden. I enjoy imagining that there's more to their story, and the Trespasser post-credits implies as much, but it's hilarious to imagine like. Oh a nice couple just moved in next door. They're an objectively very normal looking sort of guy with Strong Silent Type vibes and his wife THE INQUISITOR. The HERALD of ANDRASTE. Like oh hello Cullen From Next Door and your lovely wife THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. It's so nice to meet you. Would you like some canapés. No please do not show me the scar where the Ancient Elven God you befriended and then fought cut off your arm.

I think it's funny that when Cassandra gathers ppl to save the world you get the (mostly) het Inquisition. But when Varric gathers people it's always a wild pack of deranged fruits, AKA the DA2 crew minus Sebastian (the dlc straight) and the Veilguard minus Solas (status pending)

Idk what to put as a ending post image so here's Varric with his cleavage out

inquisitor inq'isita part 5: @highladyofdusk and I discovering the magic of friendship and the emotion of rage

one of my favorite things about dragon age romances is the varying Flavors™️ of emotional damage they feed you near the end of each game.

for instance, lucanis dellamorte is here to slay your enemies and burn down the world if it even looks at you the wrong way. "i thought i would never see you again," he quietly tells rook, and there is regret in every one of those words. "if i have to kill every blighted creature in thedas to keep you safe, i will. my heart beats for you," he promises.

meanwhile altar-boi cullen rutherford is a DISASTER who literally falls to his knees before a statue of his god. he is seeking SPIRITUAL ABSOLUTION from the divine bc the very idea of putting you into harm's way is unforgivable, and then he breaks his prayer to murmur, "when the time comes, you will be thrown into his path again. andraste preserve me, i must send you to him. whatever happens, you will come back. allow me this. to believe anything else would… i can't."

my god, the buffet. these men are absolutely pathetic. i would DIE for them.

I'm currently selling these as stickers and donating all earnings to Eman Abuhayya's gfm to help the remaining members of her family evacuate Gaza - or donate to her directly here!

Everyone is here!!!

[girlwithadragonheart]

Not me getting hooked on Cullen again literal days before the new game comes out smh

[underprivilegedcactus]

Actually that theory floating around that Cullen may be autistic makes a surprising amount of sense for him. That may not have been the intent of the writers, but a surprising amount of his personality ticks a lot of thos boxes.

These are also my old drawings. When I watched the cartoon about Hercules, I thought about what Dragon Age characters would look like in the Disney style. So I decided to draw this 🤣
