This week’s Featured Article is Mal/Evie, also known as Malvie or Mevie, the femslash ship from the Descendants franchise featuring Mal Bertha and Evie Grimhilde. The two characters have been shipped together ever since the first film, with the later installments further adding shipping fuel for fans.
As Mal and Evie are canonically best friends, many fanworks of the couple feature the classic Friends-to-Lovers trope, usually accompanied by Angst and Hurt/Comfort. Another main appeal of Malvie is also their opposites attract dynamic, with Mal’s aloof demeanor contrasted by Evie’s caring and flirty personality.
Malvie has also been acknowledged by the cast of the series, with the actresses for Mal and Evie revealing that they have read slashfic of their characters.
