Beauty and the Beast: Belle and Gaston Fanfiction - What are some interesting plot ideas?

If Gaston truly loved Belle, he would have to change his ways completely. He'd need to stop being so self - centered and brutish. He might start to appreciate Belle's love for books and learning instead of seeing it as something odd. Maybe he'd even learn to read himself and have deep conversations with her about the stories she loves. But it's hard to imagine him changing that much because his pride and his image in the village are so important to him.

It could lead to a very different story. Maybe Gaston would change for the better with Belle's influence, or they might still have a lot of conflicts.

Well, a cool fanfiction concept could be that Belle discovers a hidden part of the castle that holds the secrets of Beast's past. As she uncovers these secrets, it deepens their relationship even more. Or perhaps a story where Beast gets turned human for a short time and he has to adapt to the human world without Belle by his side at first. He then realizes how much he truly depends on her. Another interesting one would be a fanfiction where Belle's father gets lost in the enchanted forest again, and Beast and Belle have to go on a new adventure to find him.

The story would take a whole new turn if Gaston and Belle were in a relationship. Gaston, being the way he is, would likely try to mold Belle into the 'perfect wife' according to his standards at first. But Belle, with her strong will, would resist. This could lead to a lot of conflict between them. On the other hand, if Gaston truly changed for Belle, the village might see a different side of him too. However, the Beast would be left in despair, and the magical elements of the story would be disrupted. The story would no longer be about the Beauty and the Beast's journey of love and self - discovery, but rather about Gaston and Belle's struggle to understand each other and make their relationship work in a very different social context.

One idea could be Belle exploring the castle gardens barefoot and discovers a hidden part of the garden that has magical plants. Another could be Belle having a barefoot dance with the Beast in a moonlit ballroom. Or perhaps she goes on a barefoot adventure outside the castle and meets some friendly forest creatures who help her understand the Beast better.

Well, they could be forced to work together on a project for the village. Dark Belle has her own ideas about how things should be done, and Gaston has his traditional views. At first, they clash, but as they get to know each other better, they start to compromise. Maybe there's a magical artifact that they both need for different reasons. Dark Belle wants it for knowledge, and Gaston wants it to prove his worth. This leads to a series of adventures where they gradually understand and respect each other more.

One idea could be that Gaston has a change of heart after Belle saves his life in the forest. He starts to see the value in kindness and knowledge, and tries to make amends with Belle and the Beast. Another plot could be a prequel where we see how Gaston became so self - centered and obsessed with Belle, perhaps due to some past experiences in his childhood. A third idea is that in a different version of the story, Belle and Gaston are forced to team up against a common enemy that threatens their village, and through this experience, they develop a new understanding of each other.

One plot idea could be that Gaston has a change of heart after Belle rejects him. He starts to see the error of his ways and tries to become a better person. Maybe he helps Belle with some tasks in the village, gradually winning her respect if not her love.

Their relationship could be re - imagined as a friendly rivalry. Instead of Gaston being obsessed with Belle in a creepy way, he could see her as a worthy opponent in things like intellectual debates or archery contests. This would change the dynamic between them from one of unwanted pursuit to one of mutual respect.

One idea could be exploring the Beast's past more deeply. Maybe a story about his life before the curse, his relationship with his family and how it all led to his current situation.
