In Beauty and the Beast Belle and Gaston Fanfiction, how can their relationship be re - imagined?

Their relationship could be re - imagined as a friendship. After Gaston realizes he can't have Belle in a romantic way, he decides to be her friend. He could use his strength to protect the library that Belle loves so much, and they could bond over their shared love for the village in a platonic way.

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.

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.

He could also be redeemed through a long - term change in his behavior. If he starts to respect Belle's intelligence and independence. He might start to listen to her ideas about the village, like how to improve education or help the poor. By taking her advice and seeing positive results, he would gradually become a better person in her eyes.

One idea could be a 'what if' scenario where Gaston has a change of heart. Maybe he realizes Belle's kindness towards the Beast makes her truly special and he tries to make amends for his past behavior. He could start by helping the villagers understand the Beast better instead of leading them to attack the castle.

One interesting plot might be that Gaston somehow gets transported into the enchanted castle with Belle. He then has to learn to live with the enchanted objects and the Beast. This could lead to humorous situations as Gaston tries to assert his dominance in a place where his usual tactics don't work. At the same time, Belle could see a different side of Gaston as he struggles to adapt, and it could change her perception of him too.

In the fanfiction, the beast might use his strength. He could physically overpower Gaston when Gaston tries to harm Belle. For example, he might grab Gaston and throw him away from Belle.

One way is to give the Beast a different origin. Instead of being a normal magical creature, it could be the result of a wizard's failed experiment. For example, a creature that was supposed to be a simple rabbit but turned into a huge, fire - breathing beast due to a wrong spell combination.

Well, at first it might be full of tension. Gaston is used to getting his way and Belle has her own ideals. But as they spend time together, they start to understand each other better.
