"Andraste preserve me..."

Oh, we all know he is so much fun to tease, and he absolutely hates it. 🤣

Cullen "Oh, I've fallen in love with a Mage" Rutherford

[a-cullenlings-calling]

Cullen: "Yes, I had the greatest night of my life so far, and well rested. Thanks for asking. More importantly-- I'm still waiting on some important reports from the both of you."

(He's such a responsible kill joy 😂 They're probably just gonna to ask or tease the inquisitor for more juicy details. They're gonna get nothing from Cullen. 🤐)

Not famous for being good... but he did get better 😭

Dragon Age 2, Cullen Rutherford, you will always be famous

Headcanon: Cullen does not like his hair being touched once he's styled it, but late at night when he's with his lady love? Those slower mornings they actually start being able to enjoy post-retirement?

He's half-asleep a few minutes into her running her fingers through it.

(Side note: I love that he styles his hair. My guess is that it helps him feel more in control of himself).

Cullen Rutherford x Evelyn Trevelyan

Cullen - Safe & Sound: chp 3

Evelyn was an oddity to him. Cullen was used to mages being cautious around him at best, outright hostile at worst. He didn’t begrudge them their feelings either, knowing what he’d done in the past. If anything, he deserved their distrust and vitriol. Instead of scowling at him with the aggression he was so used to, Evelyn smiled, and it reached those damn eyes. She said it was nice to meet him properly, away from a battlefield. He’d stammered like a fresh recruit, put on the back foot by the warmth in her gaze. 

Evelyn - Safe & Sound: chp 1

Cullen Rutherford was intriguing to Evelyn. He stood a few paces away, hands up like he was ready to surrender. Their first meeting on a battlefield surrounded by demons was hardly ideal. He’d snapped at her, something about being worth the lives they had lost to get her there. In the war room of the chantry, after waking, he’d been kinder. Still serious, every inch of the man betrayed his training, but with softer eyes, the colour of dark honey that Evelyn found herself drawn to. He was certainly handsome, and the scar on his lip only served to draw her eyes more than once.... Despite having every reason to be wary, Evelyn didn’t actually hate Templars. It was too strong a word and something her peers didn’t understand. Plenty abused their powers with bigoted views; that didn’t stop them from being victims of the chantry in their own ways, and those Evelyn couldn’t find empathy for—she at least felt pity. Cullen had agreed with her, although she’d seen his discomfort over the subject. The way he’d avoided eye contact and masterfully steered the conversation to strictly facts about his time serving.

Kiss prompts 7? 🌞 I really love the previous oneee so so gentle

7. A kiss on the eyelid or undereye, aka let him kiss her scar!!

I went through so many different sketches for this one, but finally settled on the least angsty <3

This is the sight the Inquisition’s met with post Doom Upon All the World. Specifically, I think this takes place a few days post battle, with Cullen walking Ali to the great hall after her wounds have mostly healed. They’ve already told eachother that they love eachother at this point, but they cant help jumping it on their friends >:)

(Do we like how inconsistent they look^)

[a-cullenlings-calling]

17 for the kiss prompts! 💜

kiss on the underside of the jaw 💋

[a-cullenlings-calling]

spots to kiss (24)!! i am a sucker for shoulder kisses

“You will return”

Late night whispers before the dawn :(

Tyty Lyana!! Went through a few sketched for this and ended up with thee saddest one ofc 😔 In my head this takes place right before Doom Upon All the World when theyre at peak yearning, “I probably want to kiss her but I have a job so idrc about that rn”
