Darren Criss/Heartwarming


 * Performing "Not Alone" for Trevor Live, a concert held for The Trevor Project. Even if the song becomes unbearably sad from now on.
 * Performing at a fan's bat mizvah instead of going to the pre-Grammys press junket and party.
 * When being given a book of fanart and such from a girl who created a fan project, he said he felt like an asshole for not having anything to give the fan in return.
 * Throwing a Starship wrap party in Vegas for his Team Starkid friends because he couldn't make it to every single performance of the show.
 * Darren giving his friend Brian Holden, of Starkid fame, a hug during Darren's performance of "Silly Love Songs", in Chicago, for Glee Live!
 * Pretty much anytime Darren performs and one of the Starkids are there, he'll acknowledge them or ask them to perform a song with him. Joey Richter, Lauren Lopez, Dylan Saunders, and Joe Walker have all performed their signature AVPM songs with Darren.
 * Darren + Starkids = Heartwarmness again, this time at Leaky Con, at the end of "Home" specially, where they all hugged him.
 * Definitely this performance of "Teenage Dream". If you were a fan before he became famous it's also a HUGE Tear Jerker.
 * Upon meeting Kellen Sarmiento the mini-Warbler, Darren went over to give him a hug. The fan screaming got even louder during those eleven seconds.
 * Darren singing a duet of "The Rainbow Connection" with Kermit himself. Absolutely adorable.
