On the Spinners thread, I sort of suggested maybe Blue, Green and Red (the colors of Aurora’s fairies in the animated movie) fairies are the head fairies, and are also acting in the role of Fates. The original Green and Red are long gone, but Blue was BF, and she tried to recruit and replace them, not quite successfully with Tink and Nova. (I imagine Green or Red became Maleficient, the other romanced Malcolm and had Rumple, but died).
Or maybe his mother is Maleficient because, why not. Massive Family Reunion.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
