Shortfic: Esther and Vashti
May. 12th, 2019 07:00 pmDisclaimer: Yeah if I owned Avatar the Last Airbender, it wouldn't have a fandom.
Summary: In the Book of Esther, the King of Persia had another wife before her, killed for refusing him. Ozai did not kill Ursa, because she gave him what she wanted. After the war, she is the only person other than Mai, who knows what it’s like to be married to him, and the only one who also knows what it means to love his son.
Warnings: Past rape/current rape recovery and trauma, past suicide attempt discussed, forced pregnancy, stillbirth and grief related to it
Author's Note: Written for May Maiko Week 2019. Sequel to “The Gleaming Darkness”: [Link].
