Younger Goethe: writes a drama "Stella" (subtitle: "A drama for lovers") where the love triangle (two women, one man) resolves itself by the three agreeing to live together in a happily ever after
Okay, that is pretty cool! Also, hee, and I fully support picking the original ending :D
Goethe: *writes the Marienbader Elegien which is about unrequited love, which for a change does stay unrequited, and about accepting your mortality*
...I was a bit worried about this story when I started reading it, but this is, well, rather endearing. If I were Ulrike I wouldn't have minded inspiring that either (although I also wouldn't have wanted to marry Old Goethe at 19!)
