David Gaider, former Dragon Age writer and creator of Dorian, wrote some Dorian fan fiction.
“A note to start: I don’t work for BioWare any longer, and while I created and wrote Dorian for “Dragon Age: Inquisition”, this is purely fanfiction — a little story that planted itself in my head after a recent conversation over drinks, one which wouldn’t go away until I wrote it. Revisiting Dorian was both easier than I feared but harder than I’d imagined, so take this for what it’s worth…just a bit of time spent having fun with an old friend.”
JUST LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIFUL DORKS – by the talented @kurogoesinthedas! Have you ever had someone accurately draw the inside of your heartbecause if not you should probably commission Kuro ok
(from “Horrible Delicacies of Thedas,” a culinary-themed tribute to Dorian and Lavellan romantically pestering each other)
I’ve been super excited by thinking of my Inquisitors as Companions in DA:I, so I wanted to take this post here, and add a few things to the end of it for special events. I’m probably gonna be doing all my Inquisitors as this over the next few weeks, feel free to do your own! I tagged all my extra shit onto the end.

Something guaranteed to make them leave the party:
Special Events:
Imprisoned at Redcliffe: How is your Inquisitor holding up in Redcliffe, being slowly infected with red lyrium over the course of a year?
At the Winter Palace: Does your Inquisitor enjoy the party, any special events with them at the Palace?
In the Fade: Your Inquisitor’s reaction upon entering the Fade? Archdemon’s taunt, and Inquisitor’s response? Epitaph on their grave?
Trespasser: What is your Inquisitor up to two years after Corypheus’ defeat? Any special events with them over the events of Trespasser?
Other Major Events: Any other major events that happen with them over the course of the main game?
Calpernia is a vastly more interesting Rival for the Inquisitor, I wanted her to become a companion, like the ‘Secret Companion’ from Origins! It makes me sad that a lot of people never try the Templar route and see her. The sequence where you are properly introduced to Cole at Adamant is chilling, too.
