I guess that would also have explained what Varric said too Inqustior about him not being with her. She told him go hunt SlaversFor my Hawke and Fenris I always had it in my head that once she was tired of all his brooding she would suggest he go and hunt some slavers, just to get a couple of days of alone time. What would your Hawke suggest to Seb?
I feel ya. I did, too. Luckily, I got to a point in my playthrough that made me want to extrapolate with a 'what if.'
Mmm, I dunno that it has to be early. I think it depends on what kind of jealousy you're talking about. I think Cullen's really insecure about being in a relationship, so whatever your character does will be dealing with that. You'll have to decide how far into their relationship they are and how confident Cullen feels about it at that point. If they're practically living together and she goes and shags another dude... whelp, I think he'd have some pretty strong feelings about that, including the betrayal that boom and asperath talked about. Would he call that other dude out for a duel? mmm..... Might depend, but I'd err on the side of 'no, sulk in silence, until he gets a chance to take out his ire in another way... because he's so experienced in dealing with his feelings."
I can picture him more of staying in silence in his corner, getting hurt & frustrated and probably confronting her but not the other dude 
Lots of fanart depicting him with a daughter. Why is that exactly?
Don't know, but personally I can't explain why I can imagine the chemistry Cullen - Daughter better than Cullen-Son (well... if he ever got to have a kid I mean)
A question, would you think that it'll be appropriate if Samson called Cullen "Son" or something like that when Cullen had just arrived at the Gallows & they shared quarters?
I always imagine Cullen was around early 20s, and Samson in the mid 40s.
TBH, my initial reaction to reading this is "ewww, creepy." I dunno, Samson doesn't seem like the avuncular type. I suppose I would more imagine something more superior like "boy."
I loved Knights Bloom! I actually think it was the first Cullen fic I read and then after that it was "Yes Knight Captain". I was pretty much a gonna after those two fics and completely convinced that I had good reason to be drooling over Cullen. I then came and lurked in the v.2.0 thread for months before finally posting in this one. *sigh* memories.
D'awww, thanks so much! It's still my fave thing I've ever written. And, ironically, I'm still laughing that so many of my romance plot points occur in DA:I. LOL I also love "Yes Knight Captain." Yum! I always wish I could write a more assertive Cullen like that. I'm attempting, a bit, in my other current story, Fool's Errand.

That is a lot to consider but I don't think I'd have her shag Nereus though he does end up sleeping a lot in the same bed as the ladies (ends up having to read until they fall asleep and by that point the poor guy is covered in women, childish yes but its my Cadash's idea who is quite childish) Though the more I think about it the more I have to question how she would veiw relationships never had one growing up in the circle and last couple she knew things ended quite badly due to her ratting one out to the templars 
Though a duel is a damn tempting idea might have to change a few things here and there around but it is tempting, just not sure I could really justify her thinking sleeping with another is a good idea if it was my Lavellan that'd be much easier to do

Yep! I totes have it head-cannoned that my Hawke sneaked away from her broody elf while he was away. Naughty lady. 
It's brand new. Finally, my muse hit me upside the head to get writing again. A little Lavellan/Solas/Cullen.
So are we going to have to wait to find out who is Boy #1 & Boy #2? NO NO WAIT!! Don't tell!
I love good fanfic!
Does it count as cheating if she's not actually banging the guy? That would just be suspect at most wouldn't it? No idea why I like that idea so much I just do I must be a mix of a childish and bad person >>
TBH, my initial reaction to reading this is "ewww, creepy." I dunno, Samson doesn't seem like the avuncular type. I suppose I would more imagine something more superior like "boy."
"Boy" also works, thanks!
I'm writing that Samson/Cullen/Maddox fanfic about when Samson-Cullen room together, but from Samson's point of view. And well, I make him much gentler and better person that he might really be in-game.
Adding some "adventure" on how he got kicked out of the Templars too
That is my Headcanon now too!Yep! I totes have it head-cannoned that my Hawke sneaked away from her broody elf while he was away. Naughty lady.

:shrug: Dunno. The one time I've written him with a kid, it was a boy.
"Mundane" is accurate:
Agreeing on the different levels of Cullen expressing jealousy... if at all. I'm anxious to see what R2 has cooked up for us in the new fic! *rubs hands greedily*
LOL! OMG that gif. mmmm.... Charleton Heston, sweating and mundanely doing... anything... Um, wait, what??

To be honest, I think anything that involves deep emotions is considered cheating in my book but everyone looks on this sort of thing differently.
Edit: If she is turning to this person for emotional comfort rather than Cullen and she also has deeper feelings for them than just friendship then to me, that is not cool and I don't think Cullen would appreciate that at all.
Having had experience with someone who has PTSD I don't think he's handicapped by it, but likely just not as affected by it. I don't know if this will make sense, but you can see a lot of it. The aftermath of the Circle Tower, chasing down and beating up the Templar, the "mages aren't people" bit, which he says, what less than two years after the event? I mean, no, he's not whole and he may never be. But he does recognize it and people he trusts know much of what he's going through. He even acknowledges it by saying that you can never be the same after that.
Yes, he's functioning, but he'll also always have nightmares.
I wonder if he developed multiple personality disorder as well...
The other day, I was reading a little bit about Project MK Ultra, the CIA and the torture tests it conducted on young children and patients (all done illegally, many people sued the American govt because of this). The tests reveal that a person undergoing severe trauma dissociates from reality to endure the suffering.
The dissociation is usually in the shape of a fantasy the person creates in her mind, a story where her alter ego is the protagonist.
So whenever the victim goes through trauma again, she pretends she's the character and acts like it in real life situations, protecting her core personality from the emotional scarring.
I wonder what would be Cullen's alter ego...whatever it is, the demons that assaulted him tried to manipulate it to break Cullen's will. He'd then be forced to create another alter ego, a stronger one, to face the demons...
The longer the torture, the more personas his mind would've created. That cage where he was kept might as well have been a metaphor for his caged mind. Until someone broke him out of his fantasy, of his delusional dreams, he was trapped in his own mind, in a labyrinth of dark and twisted thoughts, just waiting for the next assault.

Well, it's your story, so do what you want! I think Asperath's suggestion of proceeding with the romance is also a good one. You might want to wait and see what he's like in a relationship. I think the answer to that depends on the particular details of your story.

Not sure on this one.
I have met a large number of guys around my age however that are desperate to have a daughter over a boy (though in the end they don't care).
Maybe it's a little bit of the "daddy's little girl" thing? *shrug*
I could see him having a good relationship with either tbh

Her feelings are strictly friendship I can't quite see those two getting farther than that though I can see her making the mistake of going to this person more than Cullen when trouble for reasons of not wishing to bother him when he has a lot on his plate though for very serious matters like family (which is going to come up since her and her parents not on great terms siblings yes parents nope) she would most likely go to Cullen instead.

I suppose thats true, I should get a better feel with the romance first before doing much but Maura is pouring out a lot of ideas to me at once so its hard to ignore her but I'll go ahead and give the romance a spin first and no doublty come back for more questions once I have more details since I'm armature at best so criticism and opinions are quite wanted here

Me, too. But again, the devil's in the details. Given his past with Meredith, I think Cullen has trust issues. So, that could be something very interesting to explore in a relationship... even if it could be very damaging for him.

I have a huge soft spot for daddy's doting over their little girls. 
Maybe it's because there's already so much expectation over a "that's my boy" chest puffing.
I always wish I could write a more assertive Cullen like that. I'm attempting, a bit, in my other current story, Fool's Errand.
Assertive Cullen makes me twitterpated. Unmf!
...anyway, I have to run to work, but I wanted to thank you all for the discussion this morning. It has also helped me with some of my thoughts on my current story. So it's been awesome to head back into Cullen head space again!
xoxo

Yeah I agree with him having trust issues. I mean when it comes down to it and as you said, it is Huldra's fic and as we all know, we interpret things differently when it comes to characters. Definitely agree with Asperath that is is best to just do the romance and then go from there. And hey, the point of fan-fic is to let our imaginations run wild so nothing is ever "wrong". I will be interested in reading it one way or another.

I always think that there's often some general concept of stereotypical Daddy's Little Girl & Mommy's Little Boy. Even in my family I'm much closer to my father & my brother to my mother. It's kind like which parent who will "let you off" more often, share secrets etc.
I think that there's a bit of an element of father, often seen (general stereotype) as stoic masculine pillar must also be stoic to his son to "make this boy a man" or something like that. At least it's a bit the case in my family. And probably this kind of father doesn't always feel the same need to be stoic around his daughter so that allows a more fluid relationship. I mean, my father is much more playful and warm to me than to my brother, yet I know that he loves us both, only differently. Still for everyone around us it seems that my father favors me when bro get favoured by mom. I get home wet after playing under the rain a bit, Dad got worried that I'll get sick and fussed over me, Mom scorned me. My brother did the same a few days later and he got scorned by Dad & Mom fussed over him. I'll say I get the better end, Dad's hot-milk-and-honey drink is much better than Mom's version
Well, that's my 2c.
Got to just say only did a few post but you all are a bunch of sweet hearts I look forward to posting in here more
