Alt Happy Ending

Yay?

Happy Ending with a major difference or two thrown in. For example, instead of having the Villain truly die, it turns out that they're alive but still out of action temporarily. This is still considered a partial Happy Ending because the Hero is unaware of the Villain being alive and continues to end their journey happily. Another example of Alt Happy Ending is the Hero's Love dies because they sacrificed themselves to guard the Hero and Co. from an attack, outright killed by an attack because UnTrash Needs To Happen, or had to die in order to put an end to the Villain. Even though the Love is dead, the Hero decides to move on and cope with their lost love after their journey.
