The Great Gatsby (1974) au where Gatsby doesn't die and instead Nick takes on the no-paying job of trying to get Jay to move on from Daisy.

Bad ending is Gatsby never does & he and the Buchanans become a never-ending shitshow. Good ending is Jay moves on. Super special bonus ending is Jay and Nick fall in love (toxicity optional)

#I specified the movie because I havent read the book so idk Book Nick or Book Jay I havent met them #the great gatsby #the great gatsby 1974 #the great gatsby (1974)#My favorite idea is a mix of the Good and Super Special Bonus endings #Where Gatsby moves on and spends a good few years learning to be a normal fucking human being #(ft Nick being a supportive friend (but also getting back to being normal after his summer of bullshit))#(and Jay figuring out how to have normal fucking relationships means he visits his dad in person more often :'3 )#anyway after 5 years or so Jay falls in love with Nick in a way that is Healthy and Not Obsessive #and the two of them become a Normal Healthy couple #which is of course difficult because. time period #but I like to imagine that Jay's dad is happy about it :']#also. assuming Jay doesnt go to jail for Crime. he's got enough money to basically deal with any problem #(if i had a nickel for every time i shipped a blond x brown-hair gay couple from the Great Depression i'd have two nickels)#(which isnt many but it's strange it's happened twice)#Also yeah I know this au of mine is Boring. dw I don't think toxic romance stories are Horrible or that fiction has model ideal behavior #I just personally find joy in imagining mundane healing stories :'))#jay gatsby #nick carraway #my words
