See, a BFF romance with Dorian would be awesome. Instead of kissing or sex we'd just high five each other all time.

In DAI he says it about Surana. I've never played an Amell and my canon is a Surana so I've heard him say the line a few times (I find it ironic that she didn't fancy Cullen back and then went and hooked up with Alistair.)
I was one of the people who was really hoping that the Surana and Brosca families would get a mention in DAI. DAO had a lot to do with the Coulsands and Aeudicans and the Tabris family cropped up a bit in the main game and Leliana's Song, DA2 with the Amells and Mathariel but the Broscas and Suranas get no love.
Sometimes I wish Surana's family had gotten some mention...but then I remember how much I've headcanon'd them. Something I really love about Surana is that they're such a blank where personal history is concerned. It allowed me to create a really detailed backstory of my own for him. My Surana had a city elf mother, and a self-exiled Dalish father, which is where I figured Surana got the surname. The best kind of reference for me probably would have been a mention of a Clan Surana. But obviously, that just fits my particular Surana.

My Lavellan loves him just the way he is. They flirt with each other sometimes but only because most of the later flirts Lady Lavellan can have are something I'd say to my best friend anyway.
Dragon blood is important all on its own though. The Therin (sp?) line is mingled with dragon blood and that's why the Ferelden kings are so important. As far as I'm aware, Maric, Cailan, and Alistair have no magical ability but their blood is supposedly special anyway.

I like this. My canon Warden is always a female Surana who becomes an Arcane Warrior. I always put her with Alistair for some reason, but I have no idea why. I mean, if she was that into ancient elven lore, wouldn't she not go with a human for a boyfriend? Ah well, I guess I'll put her with Zevran in my next Solasmance worldstate. Perhaps I see her as so pure of heart that I can't put her with an assassin. Strange, because I know that deep down Zev is definitely pure of heart.
I always figured that the Surana family were city elves who didn't survive, for whatever reason, but I like your Dalish ties better.

This. Some of the "flirty" dialogue didn't seem all that flirty to me, because of how I interact with those IRL, leading me to believe that I must be a filthy hoebag. 
Perhaps I don't have a hard enough line drawn in the sand between sarcasm and come-on's.
Also, I love and accept Dorian, (which is why I said "could" and not "would"), because, it's not like he simply chooses either/or. CUZ BABY HE WAS BORN THAT WAY.

Same here! ^^
Only I couldn't decide on one personal history, so I made like a dozen for a dozen characters. ^^
The ones I like best are the Dalish girl who was stolen away when Templars ransacked a Dalish Clan when she was little (and feels eternally frustrated that everyone assumes her parents were city elves), a city elf who's mother was slain when she tried to sneak her out of the city through the canals a la Quasimodo's mother trying to sneak under the radar of Judge Claude Frollo, and the Rivaini Seer-descended Surana who's parents made the mistake of traveling with their merchant prince employer with their child, who turned out to be a mage, who caught the attention of local Templars, who took her away and placed her in their Circle. Her dark complexion, partiality to Rivaini dress and customs, interest in non-Circle magic (Chasind Shamans, Rivaini Seers, Witches of the Wilds, etc), and partiality toward Spirit and Entropy magic utterly terrified everyone else in the Circle, so she learned (impishly) that she could play up the "unnerving" aspect of her appearance and magic to make other Circle inhabitants fear and respect her. And poor Cullen became so infatuated with that impish, unnerving, terrifying girl.
My next-to-canon playthrough is my Rivaini-descended Surana, and I want to upload her save for when I romance Cullen with a Dalish Keeper's First.

A part of me wishes that we could find out a little bit about the Surana family (I think they're the only Warden who don't have family member at least mentioned) but I also like being able to make up her history for myself.

My canon DAO PT is a Surana one. I wasn't very creative with her backstory, though - I figured that she was from an alienage, taken away as soon as her gift for magic showed itself. It's a pity we didn't get a Dalish mage origin.
Don't quite see what you are getting at here. She basically shares the same beliefs that Solas does, that spirits and demons are pretty much one and the same.
Maybe I got it confused but the poster I was responding to explains it better than I. It's been a while since I've played DA2.

There's a mod for that...
And if you take Necromancer, you are forever stuck with Dorian.
Which also leads to him giving in to his father's original plan to use blood magic to turn him. It triggers another quest, "Turned by Blood", where you must kill three golden nugs in the Exalted Plains in order to complete the ritual. Gives quite a lot of XP, too.
Dorian was my best friend too. When I first met him my girl was even a bit smitten (well they had travelled through time together) and since she didn't know he was gay and things hadn't really got going yet with Solas, for a while it looked like he might have competition. Then (luckily since I must have just done the sequence right) we went to see his dad and it came out about him being gay. She gave him a gentle reproof for leading her on and then they agreed to be best friends. Later Dorian swore his utter loyalty to her, so I figure he'd be the shoulder she'd cry on after Solas left and they'd continue on as devoted friends, so at least she wouldn't wholly bereft, particularly since they are both mages so can discuss magical theory and practice together, just like he did with Solas. When I've finished this completionist play through with Solas as my LI I'm going to start again with a male Lavellan and who knows, may be he'll be gay too. At least I know Dorian will stick with him and we can party together at the end.

But it's not supported by canon aka DA Keep

And those golden nugs drop golden pantaloons which you can bring to a dwarven smith to get a nice suit of armor

Yes, he dumps you because you don't love him enough. If you take Knight Enchanter you immediatly enter into a romance with Vivienne.

It was, for a while. That seems to have been patched, though.
I love Vivienne to pieces though. Maybe it's silly, but the way she mentors my country mouse Lavellan on all things fashionable and noble, I like to headcannon her headcannoning Solas and Tiger Festival having a ridiculously fancy wedding where she gets to design the clothing and personally doll Tiger up for it. Especially after her personal quest, it gives her something to look forward to.
Alas... disappointment and heartbreak all around.
Everytime I breathed I got a Vivienne Greatly Disaproves. And a Solas Greatly Approves.

Vivienne was basically my Lavellan's slightly evil Obi-Wan (and I mean that in the best possible way because she is amazing). She mentored my Lavellan in the Great Game to prepare for Halamshiral, and Clariel took to it like a duck to water. She, Leliana, and Josie are basically responsible for my Lavellan's transformation from smart but inexperienced to a devastatingly effective player of the Game.
I love Dorian. Like, a lot. In some ways, I think my Lavellan is almost closer to Dorian than she is with Solas. By the end of the game her clan is gone, and she never had any brothers or sisters. I imagine he's a lot like an older brother to her. She doesn't have any romantic feelings, but had he been interested in her, he probably would have been able to win her over. I hate love triangles though, so I'm really glad that's not going to happen.
Dorian was just a great friend. One of the better friendship paths I've had in a bioware game. I'd like to think they'd continue to be close through the years, even if Dorian eventually goes back to Tevinter. Cassandra too, for that matter. The Inquisition became something of a new clan to her.
I got the Fade-Haven scene with Solas wearing his Dalish Keeper Robe. Does this happen often? And I had actually thought these cut scenes were pre-rendered. BioWare never ceases to surprise me.

Solas will be in whatever you've equiped him in.

Then why is he usually in his home wear outfit? (replayed immediately and saw that again)

It seems inconsistent. He was wearing his default outfit when I did Fade-Haven with Adaar, but the horrible yellow plaid armor in the same scene with Lavellan
Most of the time I feel bad giving my companions ugly armor, but I figured Solas wouldn't mind, and it had far and away the best stats. Then the Fade-Haven scene played, and I remember thinking, "You're going to kiss her like that, while wearing THAT?!"
Lavellan didn't seem to mind though 
My greatest sorrow is that, despite stealing all my mage clothes, Solas does not wear them for his final meeting with Flemeth. I would have paid good money to see Solas dressed up in the crazy pimp outfit for that.
Flemeth: ...
Solas: Don't laugh my girlfriend made it for me.
Flemeth: oh that's just precious.
2:06 is my fav part of this video I made XD I had to put it there... gives the feels.. *_*
