Ominous Positivity

There’s a sci-fi story I know of with two endings, and the “normal” one ends with:

“And he lived happily ever after.”

From the context in the story that is actually super creepy and depressing.

The other ending is much more upbeat, despite including a few billion deaths.

Edit:
I already spoiled the endings, but if you want to read it, it’s This.

And no one will be able to stop it.

You are being liberated. Please do not resist.

I would like to know more.

Aww… You can’t just tease like that and then not say what story it is. Tell us more!

My roommate once came up with a similar idea of a horrific monster always ironing your shirts against your will. You cannot stop it, your shirts will be perfectly ironed and everyone will be in awe at your perfectly ironed shirts. You don’t know where this creature comes from or why it does this, but it’s far too strong to be stopped. IT WILL IRON YOUR SHIRTS!

Nothing can stop you now. Not even death.

It’ll be okay. You’ll live.

Evangelion?

I’m tired of winning. Just as it was foretold.

I know today is hard, but don’t worry.

These tears, they only are ephemeral.

Soon, you will smile. Forever.

And together, we will help those who don’t smile and reject the Gift.

WE WILL ALL SMILE. FOREVER.

This is basically the vibe of Singularitarianism.
