One plot could be that Belle's friends come to her rescue just in time. They could outwit Gaston using their unique skills. For example, if the Beast was also involved in the fanfiction, he could use his strength and knowledge of the forest to find Belle. Another plot might be that Belle manages to free herself through her own wits. She could trick Gaston into loosening her bonds by pretending to be scared and then making a sudden move.
It could be that Gaston ties up Kairi and Belle out of jealousy. He's jealous of the attention they receive from others. In the story, while they are tied up, they could recall their own past experiences of facing difficulties. Kairi might think about her adventures with Sora and how she overcame challenges. Belle could think of the time she tamed the Beast. This reminiscing could give them the strength and motivation to break free. They might start by trying to call for help in a way that only their friends would understand, like a special whistle or a call that has a hidden meaning. Then, when their friends arrive, they could all join forces to deal with Gaston.
Sora could be the one to save them. Since Kairi is important to Sora, he would sense that she is in danger. He would use his keyblade skills to fight off Gaston and free Kairi and Belle. Sora is known for his bravery and determination, and he would not let Gaston get away with such a malicious act.
Focus on Belle's strength. Even when tied up, she can be shown as mentally strong. For example, she can be thinking of escape plans or ways to outsmart Gaston. Also, don't go into too much detail about the tying - up part. Keep it more about the situation and the characters' reactions rather than the act itself.
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.
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.
Another aspect could be that while Gaston is tied up, the villagers who once supported him start to question his actions. Belle might use this opportunity to expose Gaston's true nature to the village. This could lead to a shift in the power dynamics within the village and Belle becoming a more respected figure, not just as a beauty but as a person of integrity.
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.
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.
