Honestly, I think you're mixing up two different things here. Moana from the Disney movie, sure. But 'Moni'? I've been in the fanfiction trenches for years, scrolling through AO3 and FFN tags daily, and I've never seen a character named Moni paired with her. It's possible you mean Maui, the demigod? That's a huge ship, 'Moana/Maui', tons of platonic and romantic fics. If you're thinking of a crossover, maybe it's 'Moana/Monkey' from something else?
Could be a typo or an autocorrect fail. The popular archives are still Archive of Our Own, FanFiction.net, and maybe some niche Disney forums. But the pairing itself needs to exist first! I'd double-check the character name. Sometimes fandoms invent super minor characters and give them a spotlight, but 'Moni' isn't ringing any bells in the Moana tag at all.
Your best move is to search 'Moana' on AO3 and browse the relationship filters. You'll see all the common pairings right there.

I keep seeing folks mention this pairing on Tumblr and it's kind of wild how much traction it's gotten! If you're hunting for Moana/Maui fics, my immediate recommendation is Archive of Our Own. The tag system is a lifesaver—just filter for Moana/Maui and sort by kudos or hits. You'll find the big, popular ones right at the top. There's a ton of post-canon adventure stuff and some really interesting ‘what if he'd actually fallen from the sky when she was a kid’ AUs.
Something I've noticed is that a lot of the best stories for this ship aren't always under the explicit romance tag; sometimes they're just gen fics with a super strong, evolving relationship at the center. The community notes and comments on AO3 are also super helpful for figuring out which ones have that perfect blend of banter and depth everyone loves.

I'm not sure there's a huge established pattern for Moana/Maui fics, to be honest. The 'shipping' scene around 'Moana' seems a lot quieter than for other Disney movies. Most of what I've stumbled across leans heavily into adventure and friendship, not romance. People seem more interested in exploring their dynamic as partners-in-crazy-quests, with maybe a slow-burn possibility way off in the distance.
That said, I did find a few that take the 'found family' angle really far, with Maui as a grumpy, overprotective mentor/uncle figure long after the movie's events. Others play with 'what if' scenarios—what if Moana had to sail to find Maui after he'd been gone for decades, or what if they encountered other demigods from different mythologies? The romance-focused ones feel like a real niche within a niche.

I'm pretty sure you're mixing up names here, but I know what you're getting at. If you mean Moana from the Disney movie and Maui (which autocorrect might turn into 'Moni'), then yeah, that fanfiction exists, though it's often more focused on their friendship and spiritual bond than romance. The emotional core usually comes from exploring their shared purpose—that push-and-pull between duty and freedom.
Writers dig into Moana's struggle with leading her people versus answering the ocean's call, and Maui's whole arc about regaining his hero status and confronting his own insecurities. The tension isn't really romantic; it's more about two stubborn forces learning to trust. I've seen some amazing fics that just expand on that mentor-mentee dynamic, with Moana challenging Maui's cynicism and him slowly opening up. It feels more like family found than a ship, honestly, which is why I prefer it over forced romance plots.
Some darker takes even explore the loneliness of being chosen, the weight of legacy, and what happens after the 'happily ever after' when the magic fades and regular leadership begins. That post-canon existential dread can be pretty compelling when done right.

I stumbled upon this gem called 'Tides of Change' on AO3, and it absolutely wrecked me in the best way. The author explores Maui and Moana's post-canon dynamic with such nuance—Moana struggling with the weight of leadership while Maui grapples with centuries of isolation. Their banter still crackles, but there’s this quiet undercurrent of mutual support. The way Moana teaches him to trust others again, while he helps her embrace her own flaws, feels so organic.
Another favorite is 'Horizon Chasers,' which frames their journey as a series of letters exchanged during long voyages. The prose is lyrical, almost poetic, and it digs into Maui’s guilt over abandoning humanity versus Moana’s relentless optimism. The slow burn from mentors to equals is chef’s kiss. Both fics balance adventure with emotional depth, and neither shies away from their scars—physical or otherwise.
