One common theme is redemption. Many fanfics focus on Maleficent finding redemption through her relationship with Aurora. For example, she might start to see the error of her ways because of Aurora's kindness.
One possible fanfic could be set at the Christmas ball. Aurora, in her beautiful gown, catches the eye of Maleficent who has a change of heart. Instead of cursing her as she did in the original story, Maleficent is intrigued by Aurora's kindness and grace at the ball. They might share a dance, much to the shock of the other guests. And in that moment, a new friendship could be born, changing the course of their relationship forever.
For a more elaborate fanfic, the Christmas ball could be held in a place that is between the light and dark realms. Maleficent arrives with an ulterior motive, but Aurora's pure heart makes her question her own intentions. As they interact during the ball, Aurora shows Maleficent the beauty of the Christmas spirit. This makes Maleficent have a change of heart and she decides to use her powers for good, starting with helping Aurora organize a grand event at the ball to bring the two realms closer together.
Another interesting one is 'Maleficent's Redemption through Aurora'. This fanfic focuses on Maleficent's journey of redemption as she is influenced by Aurora's pure heart. It beautifully portrays how their relationship evolves over time and how they both learn from each other.
The story of Maleficent follows her journey from being a kind and powerful being to becoming a villain after a cruel betrayal. It explores her complex emotions and eventual change of heart. The plot is full of magic and drama.
In a fanfic, their relationship could be complex. They are both powerful and dark - natured characters. They could start as rivals, each thinking they are the more powerful one. But as the story progresses, they realize they have more in common than they thought. They might develop a grudging friendship, where they still bicker and compete but also have each other's backs when facing a common enemy. For example, when other magical creatures try to undermine their power, they stand together to defend their status. Their relationship could also have an element of mystery, with each always wondering what the other is really thinking.
The Maleficent origin story shows her as a fairy in the Moors. She was once a kind-hearted being. However, after being betrayed by a human she trusted, Stefan, who cut off her wings to gain the throne, she became embittered and vengeful. This led to her transformation into the 'Mistress of All Evil' as we know her in the traditional Sleeping Beauty story.
Maleficent's story is complex. She starts as a benevolent being, but when wronged, she becomes malevolent. The interaction with Aurora and her realization of her mistakes drive the story forward. It's a story of transformation and finding the good within.
