A strong re-telling of the classic Cinderella story by LAD64 on DeviantArt, where Cinderella is not helped by a fairy-godmother, but instead Maleficent, who offers Cinderella, who wishes to attend the ball, a solution. But Cinderella not only wants to attend to the ball, but also that her horrible family doesn't. Maleficent decides to make that wish come true. In some way at least…
