Mal/Evie, also known by the two portmanteaus Malvie or Mevie, is the femslash ship between Mal Bertha and Evie Grimhilde from the Descendants franchise. They make up half of the Core Four, and are the daughters of Maleficent and the Evil Queen respectively.
They appear together in the mainline trilogy of films, the animated series Wicked World, the tie-in books, and the animated special, among others. The pair have been shipped since the first film, though its sequel in particular offered a substantial amount of shipping fuel, especially in the form of the musical number Space Between.
They are canonically best friends, and many fanworks have them as Friends to Lovers. Angst and Hurt/Comfort are relatively common, usually linked to their childhood on the Isle. Many Malvie fics also include Jaylos, often as a secondary or background pairing.
