Author’s Note: This was written for lgbtfest Prompt #105:Black Jewels Trilogy: Wilhelmina Benedict/Karla: After a childhood spent scared out of her wits in Terreille, Wilhelmina finds more than just one kind of freedom in Kaeleer - and she finds Karla, who makes no secret about the fact that her lovers are female. Love if someone could show either Daemon or Saetan as a supportive paternal figure for Wilhelmina to be protected and encouraged by, especially considering her views of males after Terreille.
