Alt Happy Ending

Alt Happy Ending is just Happy Ending with a major difference or two thrown in. For example, instead of having Villain truly die, it turns out that they're alive but still out of action temporarily. This is a happy ending because Hero is unaware of Villain being alive and continues to end their journey happily.

Another example of Alt Happy Ending is Hero's Love dies because they sacrificed themselves to guard Hero and Co. from an attack, straight up got killed by an attack, or had to die in order to put an end to Villain. Even though Love is dead, Hero decides to move on and cope with their lost love after their journey.
