I'm not sure specifically which non - smut Ariel - Ursula fan fictions are out there. But you could try searching on fan fiction platforms like Archive of Our Own. Just use the tags 'Ariel', 'Ursula' and exclude the tags related to adult content.
A plot could be that Ursula is actually Ariel's long - lost relative. They discover this fact and have to navigate their new relationship. Ariel wants to bring Ursula into her family, but there are many obstacles as Ursula has a reputation. They work together to change how others in the underwater world see Ursula and build a new family bond.
Another theme is the power dynamic. Since Ursula is a powerful sea witch and Ariel is a mermaid princess, their relationship in fan fictions often plays with this power difference. Sometimes Ariel gains power over Ursula, and other times it's the opposite.
Sure. One great ariel ursula fan fiction is 'The Unlikely Alliance'. In it, Ariel and Ursula find themselves in a situation where they have to work together to save the underwater kingdom from a new, greater threat. It's an interesting take on their relationship.
A different way to develop their relationship could be through a magical accident. Let's say a spell backfires and Ariel and Ursula's minds are swapped. They have to live in each other's shoes for a while. Ariel experiences Ursula's loneliness and the reasons behind her actions, while Ursula gets a taste of Ariel's kind and curious nature. This could lead to a more empathetic relationship between them.
Ariel's own strong will also contributed to her escape. Despite being in Ursula's clutches, she never gave up hope. She constantly thought about her family, her friends, and her love for Eric. This inner strength gave her the courage to fight back against Ursula's magic, and eventually find a way out of the difficult situation.
One common theme is redemption. Since Ursula is often seen as a villain, many fanfics explore her path to redemption, especially in relation to Ariel. Another theme is the power of friendship. Despite their differences, they can form an unexpected bond.
It's popular because their relationship in the original story is so complex. There's a lot of room for exploration. Fans like to imagine different scenarios where their dynamic can change, like friendship instead of enmity.
Well, obviously Ariel and Ursula are the main characters. Ariel is the curious and adventurous mermaid princess. She is known for her beautiful voice and her longing for the human world. Ursula, on the other hand, is the sea witch. She is often depicted as a villain, with her tentacles and her devious plans to take over the underwater kingdom or cause trouble for Ariel.
She could be more assertive in a rather dark way. Ursula is a very dominant character. Ariel, growing up under her influence, might not be as gentle as in the original story. For example, when it comes to getting what she wants, she might use more forceful or underhanded methods, rather than her pure - hearted charm in the original.
