Hades X Maleficent headcanons💜💙

The fire

(Imma need y'all to bear with me on this cause it was the only way I could make the sleeping beauty plot hole work.)

(⚠️TW. This will have torture, murder, infant injuries, parent death (personal experience with that one ), mention of infertility and betrayal.⚠️)

Hades picked Maleficent up off the floor and carried her back to his bed, gently laying her down before sitting crossed legged beside her. "So, what happened?" Hades asked, ready to know what happened the night of the fire.

"It's a long story...lot of backstory to get to the point..." Maleficent answered, fidgeting with the blanket that was draped over her shoulders.

"Well it's a good thing I got all the time in the world and I like hearing you talk." Hades replied.

"Okay...." She took a deep breath and began the story. "About 5 or 6 years before I was born, King Henry had attacked the Moors and killed my grandparents. My mother was furious that her parents were killed, and she wanted revenge on the king. She cursed the king with a plague and a promise that his bloodline would never continue after his death as he had no sons. He found a random prince, Stephan, to marry his daughter so his bloodline would continue, even if his name wouldn't; He died shortly after. A year later Aurora was born and my mother was still fuming so she showed up at the christening and cursed the baby to prick her finger on a spinning wheel at 16 and die. That should've been the end of it but those three good fairies were there and changed the curse—"

"Wait wait wait." Hades stopped her. "Aren't those three your age?"

"No," she answered. "They are century's old."

"Then what the fuck are they doing at a high school?"

"I'll get to that. Can I continue now?"

"Right, sorry for interrupting." He apologized. "Please continue."

"Thank you. Anyways, Merrywether changed the curse so the baby wouldn't die, but would fall into a coma, never aging or anything, and would only be awoken by true loves kiss."

"That is stupid." Hades interrupted.

"I know. Can you stop interrupting please?"

"Sorry. Shutting up now."

"Stephan had all the spinning wheels in the kingdom burned, and sent his daughter away to live in the woods with the fairies until the day after she turned 16. He hoped that would stop the curse and keep her safe, boy was he wrong but I'll get to that in a second. 4 years after my mother placed the curse on the baby she had me. Word got back to Stephan and he wanted to make my mom suffer the same way he did. He snuck into the Moors in the middle of the night, broke into my parents home and kidnapped me. He should've killed me...that's what my father thought he was going to do...but death would be to merciful. He made sure my parents and the other Fae woke up and followed him to the edge of the Moors, a fucking small army waiting for them. My parents begged him to spear me...they promised to remove the curse off of Aurora is he let me live...they should've been more specific. He agreed to let me live....but not let me go unharmed..." Maleficent started to tear up, her voice stuttering as she tried not to start crying again.

Hades moved to her side and pulled her into a tight hug. "You don't have to continue if you don't want to Lotus flower."

"No..." she mumbled. "I need to...I'm tired of hiding it.."

"Okay."

She pulled away a bit, still holding Hades hands and taking a breath to calm herself. "Stephan ordered him men around the Fae so they couldn't get close to him...then forced my parents to watch in horror as he cut my wings off and threw them into a fire to burn...he tossed me on the ground like nothing and left...his men following once he was out of harms way...."
