There could be. Fanfiction writers are known for their creativity and coming up with all sorts of pairings.

Well, it's hard to say it's a widely popular genre. There are so many different types of fanfic out there. Some people might be really into this kind of unique pairing between Ursula and Ariel, but it probably doesn't have the mass appeal that more common pairings in Disney fanfic might have. A lot of factors like the overall perception of the characters and the themes that can be explored in such a pairing play a role in its popularity.
One common theme could be adventure. Since both characters are associated with the sea, they might embark on a journey together, like searching for a hidden island or a magical artifact. Another theme could be cultural exchange, as Jack is from the pirate world and Ariel from the underwater kingdom.
One common theme is friendship. Since they are both Disney princesses, many fanfictions explore how they could become friends and support each other. For example, Belle might help Ariel learn more about human culture and knowledge.
Well, a possible theme could be self - discovery. Ariel, who is curious about the human world in the original story, could further discover different aspects of herself through her relationship with Ursula. Also, there could be a theme of acceptance. Ursula, being an outcast in a way, and Ariel, who is different from her mermaid sisters in her desires, could find acceptance in each other. And of course, there could be a theme of transformation, both physical and emotional, as they interact.
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.
One great Ursula and Ariel fanfiction could be about Ursula having a change of heart before the final battle. In this story, she might see Ariel's determination and purity of heart and decide to help her instead of trying to defeat her. It could explore their relationship in a whole new light, showing that even villains can have redeeming qualities.
