A/N:
I originally posted this on AO3, then thought I'd just cross-post here because some of y'all are actually here for Hadeficent other than Bal. It's titled "Home is where the heart is (And my heart goes where he does)", reason being it's kind of what the story sort of revolves about.
Ship? Maleficent (2014)/Hades (Hercules; 1997)
Tags? As is below (which I copied from AO3 I'm lazy yes):
Unplanned PregnancyParent Maleficent (Disney) Angst with a Happy Ending Light Angst How Do I Tag Fae Mal (Disney) Fae Maleficent (Disney) Hades leaves One-Shot Eventual Fluff black death I have no idea about 14th century Why did I add Chinese into this Cross-Posted on Wattpad Inaccurate Ancient Greek Religion & Lore Good Parent Maleficent (Disney) I came up with a terrible name
Gist? Basically what if Hades and Maleficent got into an argument over her haste for revenge (which leads to her losing her wings + horns)? In which she then tells him to leave? Maleficent regrets it and decides to travel the world to find him, by foot, due to some...unexpected circumstances 😏
Probably a crack fic, wrote it on a whim, #angstpartsarebestwritten, I tried Greek Lore, hope y'all like it, ending is happily abrupt? Hurt/Comfort but not exactly...
Anyway, just enjoy. This shit's about 7k words, I vomited the angst parts out in under 30 minutes of collated time, the rest of it took me a collective effort of about 7 days, I deferred the progress of "...Mother?" because *ahem* I'm trying to churn out a sweet Bal part that's not TOO sweet either so yep yep enjoy this
(Also Merry Xmas! because I might not update before Christmas)

"You could've waited! Was it really that hard to just wait?! If you'd waited, the victory would still be ours!"
"He was going to flee! Don't you see? We would never have managed to capture him with our plan!"
"Plans could have changed! Now look at you! Wings severed, horns broken, and he still escaped! What do you want me to do, now? Where do we even start looking? Sometimes I wish you could just be more logical, and stop working on impulse! It's always your impulses that get us in trouble, do you understand?"
"Then don't stay. It's not your fight, anyway. I'll do things my way, and you don't have to stay. Just go, if we're not going to see eye to eye!"
That had been the last thing she said to Hades before he left.
And with the Moors smouldering behind her, having suffered thousands of casualties, Maleficent knew that it had been the wrong thing to say.
Hell, the moment he'd turned and left, she already knew she'd made a mistake.
She was just too willful to admit to it. And too spoiled. All this while, Hades had been accommodating her every choice. Every one of her wishes was his obligation to fulfill. She'd been too obsessed with the prospect of revenge she'd forgotten that he mattered, and now? Revenge was done, but he was gone.
And now she realised she wanted him more.
"Maleficent?" One of the border guards gathered enough courage to ask, "We have to bury the bodies." "Lead the others to follow the tradition." Her reply came, "I'll be back."
