Redemption is another theme that shows up. Both characters have been seen as villains in their original stories. Fanfictions sometimes explore their journey towards redemption, either through their relationship with each other or through some other external factor. For example, they might start to do good deeds in order to be accepted by the other 'good' characters in the story world.
Another theme is family and heritage. Mal's connection to Maleficent is a big part of her character. In fanfiction, this can be explored further, like how Maleficent's past actions influence Mal. And Hades can be involved as an outsider who has his own view on their family - like relationship. Also, the idea of legacy, as all three are leaving their mark in their respective dark worlds.
One common theme is the exploration of their power dynamics. Since both are powerful characters in their own right, fanfictions often delve into how they interact with each other in terms of power. Another theme could be a forbidden love story. Given their different 'worlds' (Maleficent from the Sleeping Beauty realm and Hades from the Greek mythology - inspired underworld), a relationship between them might be seen as forbidden.
Another option is FanFiction.net. It has a vast collection of fanfictions. However, the quality may vary. But if you search for Maleficent and Hades fanfiction specifically, you might find some interesting reads. Some authors also post on their personal blogs or Tumblr pages. You can search for relevant tags on Tumblr to find fanfictions shared by users.
One plot idea could be that Hades and Maleficent team up to take over the magical realms. They combine their dark powers and start by causing chaos in the fairy kingdoms. Another could be a love story where they initially clash but then find common ground and fall in love, changing their evil ways for each other. Maybe they could also form an alliance to fight a greater evil that threatens both their domains.
Sure. One interesting fanfiction might be where they form an unlikely alliance. Maybe in a story where the powers of Hades' underworld, Maleficent's dark magic, and Mal's unique abilities combine to face a greater threat that none of them could handle alone.
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.
One possible plot could be Mal trying to find her place in both the world of her mother Maleficent and her father Hades. She might struggle with the different powers she inherits from them. For example, Maleficent's magic of transformation and Hades' power over the underworld. She could use these powers to fight against villains who want to take over the magical realms. Maybe she teams up with some other Descendants characters and they go on a journey to discover a new magical artifact that could help protect their homes.
Another option is Tumblr. Some users post their own fanfiction or share links to great Maleficent and Hades stories. You can search for relevant tags like #Maleficent #Hades #fanfiction to discover some hidden gems.
Her powers could develop through training. Since she has the genes of both Maleficent and Hades, she might start with basic forms of their powers like a small amount of Maleficent's green magic and some control over Hades' fire. As she practices, she becomes more proficient. For example, she could learn to combine the two powers to create a new and unique form of magic.
