Perhaps in the fanfiction, Belle and Gaston are forced into a situation where they have to get married for some political or family reasons in the village. Despite their initial differences, they gradually bond while taking care of their baby. The baby could be the catalyst for them to see each other in a new light and they end up building a happy family together.
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.
In this fanfiction, the plot might revolve around Belle's internal conflict. She is pregnant with Gaston's baby, but she has always been in love with the Beast. She may try to find a way to reconcile her situation with her true feelings. There could be a journey where she tries to make Gaston understand that she doesn't love him, even though they are having a child together. And she also has to deal with the judgment of the society in the village which has always had certain expectations of her.
Fanfiction often takes existing characters and gives them a new spin. In the case of 'belle and gaston 2017 fanfiction', it could explore what would have happened if Gaston had changed his ways, or if Belle had different interactions with Gaston that deviated from the original story. Maybe it delves into a world where they form an unlikely alliance or Gaston has a redemption arc.
Such a scenario in fanfiction would be quite a twist. It could explore themes of abuse, resilience, and the power of love. Belle might find inner strength she never knew she had and could potentially inspire others to stand up against violence.
Belle would likely develop a more complex and conflicted personality. She might become more protective yet also more determined to break free from Gaston's control. Gaston, on the other hand, could either become more possessive or start to have a change of heart and try to be a better person for Belle and the baby.
Belle would likely be the most interesting. Since she has always been a strong - willed and intelligent character. With a baby in the picture, she would have to balance her love for knowledge and her new role as a mother. She could teach the baby about the world beyond the village, and her relationship with Gaston would also add an interesting dynamic as she tries to influence him to be a better person for their child.
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.
The theme of acceptance is quite common too. In these fanfictions, either Gaston has to accept Belle's differences or Belle has to accept that Gaston has the potential for good. It's all about breaking down the initial barriers that were set in the original story and creating a new dynamic between the two characters. There are also fanfictions that explore the theme of sacrifice, like Gaston sacrificing his pride for Belle or Belle sacrificing her ideals to give Gaston a chance.
