That Damn Play
"You should be thanking me," Ozai said.
"What for?"
"I hear you're going to Ember Island again. She'll make you watch that stupid play."
"She can go by herself," Zuko huffed.
"She has a way of convincing people to do what she wants. At least I gave you ten years without having to see it."
"You gave me ten years without my mother. I'd gladly watch that play with her."
"Would you now?" Ozai asked, eyebrow raised.
Zuko was quiet.
"Didn't think so."
Mutual hatred for Love Amongst the Dragons was the only thing Zuko and Ozai ever bonded over.
A/N: This was inspired by me writing a scene where Ursa sees Love Amongst the Dragons for the first time. I also imagine Ozai referred to it as That Damn Play, or That Damn Play I See Every Year. Ursa doesn't care what you think, though. She loves that play. And Ozai knows all about the persuasive powers of his wife. First in a series about That Damn Play.
