Summary
He’s the Commander of the Inquisition. She’s not even on the roster.
Our favourite repressed knight and a sweetly chaotic civilian "fixer" have been circling each other for months—over tea, strategy meetings, and the unrelenting urge to kiss. This is the part where it finally happens.It’s not a slow burn—not exactly. What begins as low-key chaos and high-key attraction turns quickly into something deeper: trust, desire, grief, and devotion.
They fall together early, awkward and aching. But what follows is the real work: staying, softening, and learning how to be loved even like this.
Featuring: reverent smut, extremely competent pining off the top, dry humour, accidental life-fixing, and some truly dazzling idiots.
NSFW-heavy chapters marked with
**. First-time fic. Frequent but irregular updates.Series

In That Quiet Space by raphaelsimp

Summary
The Inquisition didn’t officially recruit her. But she has a knack for showing up in unexpected places—like in the Commander’s heart. They keep finding their way to each other between requisition reports, behind stray mugs of tea, and beneath the steady gaze of her dog.
She didn’t mean to fall for him. And Cullen Rutherford certainly didn’t expect to be chosen—by her, by a Mabari, or by the quiet possibility of something real.
A slow burn in every sense: bruised hearts, charged touches, and the ache of wanting that turns, eventually, into staying.
Rated T for tenderness, Tactical flirting, and That one very good dog. These won't change but the rating might. TBD!

Summary

Until they didn't.

Summary
Modern girl in Thedas retelling with developing character arc (but still very much a hero fantasy) for unnamed OC. Slow burn with Cullen (will get spicy and explicit - just taking my time with it). In-depth lore and main/side character exploration. I'm a bleeding-heart leftist, and that shows in my writing. If you read, thank you, and I hope you enjoy. xx
