Ok so I watched little women about two weeks ago and it was brilliant but I wanted Jo and Laurie to end up together! I have issues, so here’s my idea for an alternative ending: when Laurie first proposes to Amy, instead of saying she was second choice, she agrees and kisses him (they are in love). They come home and Laurie chats to Jo, but presents Amy as his fiancée, not wife. Jo is heartbroken, but matures and is happy for them (I personally think this is a really important part of her story). Preparations for the wedding go on in the next few weeks, then as Jo goes to bed one night, she finds Amy sobbing. Amy tells Jo that she and Laurie have broken off their engagement. Jo comforts her, and asks why, to which Amy replies that it was because of Jo, as she (Amy) didn’t want to be second best to Jo. Amy also tells Jo that Laurie left, but instead of chasing after him, Jo stays and comforts her sister. In an epilogue-y type ending, Jo’s novel is successful and while travelling Europe, she meets Laurie again. They greet each other awkwardly, and Jo jokes that she always loved him, but was too scared to admit it. Laurie realises this is actually true and kisses her. They get married and have a kid, but continue with their respective careers. There we go, would have written it properly but I really can’t write like classics writers so there you go. Hope I annoyed you sufficiently.
