Summary
His voice was hoarse, vowels stretching in a way that was obviously Ferelden but not noble, though he held himself like one. Shoulders back, jaw set. A proud man, with too much to prove and not much time to do it. A gust of wind swept ash towards them, catching in his hair, and Maeve’s nostrils flared at the sudden and unmistakable scent of lyrium.
Templar.
She raised her chin a fraction, almost defiantly. If only her soft scholar fingers and Chantry veil did not give her away as a Circle mage and nothing more.
(or, the inquisition from the perspective of maeve trevelyan)

Summary
Never before has he felt such a flood of emotion like this for another person, one that was not hate or agony or terror. She is perhaps the most beautiful creature he’s ever seen, and he breathes with her for one long, tenuous moment.
“I did not expect,” Cullen says very quietly. “For you to become as important to me as you have.”
(or, a series of moments between cullen and maeve, where he pines hopelessly and she's just waiting for him to catch up)

Summary
There was never a way of knowing before her how his body could feel under the touch of another. She is a balm to a wound he wasn’t aware he had, a solve to the loneliness he knew but had not worried gaped within him. The Inquisitor is just a woman, but it is a miracle that he hasn’t crumbled under the rapturous weight of her touch.
Cullen is terrified of it most days. This thing that they have created is stronger than anything he has ever felt, and also so fragile that he is convinced that one day he will blunder into it and it will shatter. Like he has just now.
(or, in which cullen can almost let himself feel pleasure, except for all the times he can't)
