Chains bind some and duty binds others but fiery, flame-haired Elsa Trevelyan is bound by neither. She is bound by the constant fear of losing the freedom she sacrificed so much to gain. But when she finds herself falling for the Commander, she realises she must make a choice: To save the world from the brink of the abyss and protect those she loves so dearly... or to keep her precious freedom. Can she truly keep the promise she made to herself that she'd escape? An ongoing collection of short stories that will slowly build the tapestry of The Herald of Andraste's untold tale. (Note that this is a fanfiction, most characters belong to Bioware apart from Elsa and a few others who are mine. The end.)
