CW: sexual assault

I didn't take it as that, either, so I guess this is weird. It doesn't have to be consistent because redemption isn't a consistent thing. And I'm honestly not sure Stefan, in his state, would have cared if Maleficent saved her or not--she was still a "threat" if she got her wings back (nevermind that Stefan didn't even know his daughter to start with). I also didn't think she was the only one who loved her, so much as she was the only one with a sufficiently deep bond i.e. it can't be true love if you just met her that fucking week. It can be a love, but True Love is deep and takes time to grow, like carefully tending a flower.

And again, Stefan had doubled down so hard on justifying what was a gigantic betrayal of trust. He literally gained her trust, won her heart and cut her wings off. Because he wanted the power of the throne of a human kingdom much more than he cared for having the love of a fae, which isn't exactly given or earned easily. Like, shit, if you ask me, as someone who's had a stalker try to coerce her into a relationship and had her trust broken by a guy she thought was cool groping her randomly without permission because "of course guys and girls can't just be friends", him not being redeemed was the better choice.
