A list of my active longfic WIPs and their status.
In Progress
In Another World - 20 years after Iris left for the Fade with Solas, the Executors and their Devouring Storm threaten all of Thedas. Knowing escape to be impossible, Solas crafts an amulet for Iris, allowing her to travel back to the moment of the breach as soon as his heart ceases to beat.

Movie Night - Solas and Iris watch the film adaptation of their love story and, as it turns out, have some opinions about it.
A Rare and Marvellous Spirit - Iris Lavellan may be Elgar’nan’s creature. A desperate woman making a foolish decision. Can he sway her? Or should he remain distant and watchful, using her for his magic that remains embedded in her hand, and killing her once her usefulness ebbs away?
