Summary: Choose your favorite Gaston redemption fic, and this one comes after it. I wanted to imagine a world in which Gaston and LeFou are living together happily in a village full of people that accept them. However, no story can work without conflict. Being accepted by the village has made self-acceptance easy for Gaston. When Gaston's son tracks him down, though, Gaston's instincts tell him to hide his relationship with LeFou. Or, what happens then reality leaks into Gaston's fantasy happy ending.
Notes: There's something sweet, and almost kind about Gaston. I hate that canon essentially throws him off a building and no one cares because he's obviously the Bad Guy(™) and apparently only the rich dude is allowed to have redemption. It hurts my heart that anyone would consider another human being trash like this. Troubled? Violent? Angry? Yes yes yes. But still worth saving. So since this is all a fantasy, let's do it!
