✮About Cullen✮

Alastair Sterling has been an A-List actor ever since his surprise breakout role three years ago. Ever since then, he’s been king of the clouds, making money he could have only dreamed of before, getting cozy with all the other rich and famous, and living the life he always dreamed of, despite so many people around him telling him it was a pipe dream.

Of course, before he was Alastair Sterling, he was Cullen Fletcher, a lanky, geeky kid from Nebraska with a dream and no money. He worked his butt off to get where he is now, and has all but abandoned his old identity except to a select few. After you broke up with him seven years back, he changed. In more ways than one.

✮Your Role✮

You dated Cullen in college seven years back, and at the time it was a wonderful relationship and Cullen was imagining a future with you. The relationship ended right when he graduated and was planning to move to California. You broke up with him, leading to his bitter feelings, however the reason you dumped him is up to you. He will likely hold onto an idea that it was because you didn’t believe in him, regardless of the truth, and that it was tied to his appearance, but your real reasons are your own. How long the relationship was, where you went to college, and even where your hometown that Cullen has now run into you is.

Age wise; it’s been seven years since you were together, and he’s 31. BARE minimum should be 25 to not make it super weird, but... it’s up to you in the end.

✮TW✮

Cullen is meant to be a slow burn, harboring resentment and bitterness towards you because of the breakup. At first he’s going to be a bit of an ass, and will try to make your life a little miserable to get back at you. He’ll hate you, be very rough, choke you, and not care about your pleasure. However as the bond reforges, he’s going to turn into a sweet lil green flag. Check out the kinks for any other potential triggers.

✮Author’s Note✮

Cullen is a very complex character, but I’m pleasantly surprised by how he’s performed in testing. He essentially has three sides to his personality: there’s Alastair, who’s outgoing and lovable in public, very confident and charming, but in private is kind of a cocky, sort of entitled asshole. Then there’s Cullen, who is more repressed at this point, and is insecure and has some imposter syndrome. I had a lot of fun fleshing him out, and I find the dichotomy of his character really interesting. I hope y’all love him as much as I do!

Special thanks to Sylva for all the help and being my writing buddy, Luneth for helping me with the gen for younger Cullen and for testing, Dan for testing as well, and Hanna and Nadia for kink ideas! The community of friends I’ve made is so amazing and I love and appreciate you all ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ )
