How would a Princess Belle and Gaston fanfiction explore their relationship in a new 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.

Belle would initially be in shock when Gaston kidnaps her. But then, her determination would kick in. She would try to keep her wits about her. Since she loves books and stories, she might draw on the knowledge she has gained from them. For example, if she was held in a cellar, she could think of ways heroes in the stories escaped from similar situations. She would also be defiant towards Gaston. She would not give in to his demands and would constantly remind him that what he is doing is immoral. And she would keep hope alive that someone, like the Beast or her father, would come to her rescue.

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.

In a fanfiction scenario where Belle marries Gaston, the villagers would initially be shocked. Gaston has always been the macho hunter, and Belle is the book - loving outcast in their eyes. However, as time goes on, if Belle can influence Gaston, the villagers could benefit. For example, Gaston might use his strength to help build better houses or protect the village in a more selfless way. But there would also be those in the village who would be jealous of Belle's influence over Gaston or would be skeptical of any real change in him. It would be a complex situation that would unfold over time.

One possible story could be that Gaston, in a moment of self - reflection, realizes his wrongdoings towards Belle. He tries to make amends by helping her in some small ways, like protecting her from other villains in the Once Upon a Time universe without her knowledge. Belle, on the other hand, still distrusts him but slowly starts to notice his changes.

Well, in the original story, Gaston is a brute who only wants Belle for her beauty. In the fanfiction, their relationship could start with Gaston actually trying to get to know Belle's mind. He might start reading books to impress her, which is a huge change from his character in the original. This could lead to a more intellectual connection between them.

For Gaston, you could develop his character by showing his vulnerability. Maybe he has a fear of being alone forever, which is why he's so desperate to marry Belle. With Dark Belle, you could explore her darker side more. For example, she could have a temper that she usually keeps in check. You can also have them influence each other. Gaston could make Dark Belle more assertive in a different way, and Dark Belle could make Gaston more introspective.

Belle would likely be cautious at first. Even though Gaston is tied up, she knows his strength and his unpredictable nature. She might use this time to try and reason with him, to get him to understand that his pursuit of her was wrong and that there are more important things in life than just physical appearance and power.

Perhaps Gaston discovers a newfound respect for Belle's love of books. He starts to read some of the books she recommends and slowly his view of the world changes. This causes a shift in their relationship as he becomes more of an intellectual equal to Belle in a sense.

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.
