Well, I now have a title for the Gigi-story: [The] White Knight (ironically of course).
And the summary is going to read something along the lines of "Bored playboy Gaston Lachaille sees himself as being in the perfect position to help Gigi cope with her situation. Only he misreads things in more ways than one." (With the wording improved considerably, I hope -- but I'll leave this rough one up here for my future edification :-p)
Now I just need to sit down and type the thing. I decided to end it with Gaston hovering on the doorstep and thinking of marriage as a way *out* of the humiliating Gigi-situation, but without its occurring to him that he could, in fact, marry *her* (which of course he is not in a position to anticipate as a possibility at that point). So it shouldn't be too large a jump from there to suppose that in the following canon scene when she does throw herself at him, marriage immediately springs to his mind ;-)
How well it will work for a canon-blind audience who have no reason to suppose that Gigi has any likelihood of softening towards him, I don't know... (Also, the way I have written her dialogue currently makes her sound *very* immature, which may not be the best representation of the French version -- or one that makes her sound at all like marriageable material!)
