Having known Aurora for essentially the length of a song, Philip doesn't have a lot of material to base his knowledge of his wife upon. All he really knows is that despite being protected by not one, not two, but three magical beings, she was foiled by a pretty light.
So when the two of them are attacked on one of their rare outings out alone together in the woods where they met, the unarmed Philip throws himself in front of what he assumes is his weak, fragile wife. Aurora pushes him aside and decimates their attacker with her bare hands. She was, after all, in constant danger her entire life, raised by three pretty bad ass chicks who wanted her to rely on more than their magic to protect herself, and had nothing better to do than to train. Maleficent may have discovered her weakness for shiny things, but had she tried to fight her one on one, the outcome would have been drastically different.

I've been wanting to write a nice feminist revision version of Sleeping Beauty. This prompt makes my fangirl and feminist heart uber happy. This ficlet turned out a lot longer than I expected. It also took foreeeever to write. It's been a long time since I've written any fanfic. I wanted to make Aurora super strong and badass. I hope it's to your liking

Quick as lightening, Aurora shoved her husband aside and lunged towards the first bandit. She delivered a hard punch underneath his ribs, causing him to double over in pain. She struck the back of his head, incapacitating him. As the next bandit came close, she slammed her palm up under his nose. The man groaned in pain and staggered away, nose bleeding and broken. Without pause, Aurora moved in to take out the third man. She gripped him by the tunic and hurled him into the last companion. The two men fell to the ground. Aurora went over and delivered swift kicks to both their stomachs and groins-ensuring they would not rise for some time
