#It is a core part of Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent 2014 which Book 7 has already referenced before so bringing it back would work nice

So wait, if Silver does end up getting sleeping beauty’d (even more than before) and using his signature spell so much does lead to him not waking up with the school… WHO IS GOING TO WAKE HIM UP (*′☉.̫☉) who will give true loves kiss?

I would assume it'd be another member of Diasomnia, namely Lilia (as his father) or Malleus (as his brother) or even Sebek (as his friend) 

Maleficent 2014 had a really good scene (one of my favorite monologues ever) where Maleficent apologizes for cursing Aurora and kisses her forehead, breaking her own curse. 

Book 7's biggest theme next to change and loss is family. 

Diasomnia is one big family. I couldn't find the original post and I can't remember if the interview was at a con or on the podcast, but Silver's VA says he interprets Silver's relationship with everyone, including Malleus and Sebek, as familial. 

The reason I lean more toward Lilia and Malleus is because Lilia's whole thing for his dream in Book 7 and also his flashbacks of hatching Malleus and finding Silver is that he doesn't think he can truly love someone, with Silver there's still this 'can I truly love a human?' question he hasn't fully answered yet. 

With Malleus there's the reference to Maleficent in 2014 which he's already referenced a few times (in him insulting baby Silver's appearance and being present in Silver's life since he was a baby, something Maleficent does in the 2014 film)

BUT THESE ARE ALL BIG IFs

For all we know he's perfectly fine and he really can spam his signature spell on repeat with no adverse effects. 

But if they wrap the book up with a familial true love's kiss it'll truly feel like a reimagining of Sleeping Beauty
