* The ending of ''Erika's Old Big Sister'', the sequel to [[Erikas New Perfume]], has the title character embrace her originally older, [[Fountain of Youth|then younger,]] [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up|Then older again]], {{spoiler|then younger again}} sister, Marie, after all she has [[Big Brother Bully|done to her]] [[Break the Haughty|and endured]] [[Jerkass Woobie|herself]], in a form of [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|sisterly love]] that says that all their hardships are over and [[Character Development|they are much better off for it]].

{{spoiler|Even though she'd lost thirteen years of age and become much smaller, considered Erika, [[Character Development|her sister had just taken a big step in growing up.]]}}
{{spoiler|[[Character Development|And maybe she had too.]]}} }}
* The last episode of ''[[Fobbies Are Borange]]'', a portion of which could be either an extreme [[Tear Jerker]] or an excellent example of this.

'''Paula's Dad:''' That's my little g''*static*''rl! I lo''*static*''ve you, Paul''*static*''!
'''Paula:''' ''*wailing while static increases frequency*'' }}
* ''[[There She Is]]!'', Final step. The entire thing, but ''especially'' Doki and Nabi's {{spoiler|reunion at the airport.}} Manages to take Heartwarming [[Beyond the Impossible]].
* ''[[Ruby Quest]]'', as seen above. Tom had barely been freed from his prison, and instantly they took their newfound opportunity for physical contact and comfort.

* ''[[Lonelygirl15]]'' has a number of instances of this. For example, [http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=22 My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!], [http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=141 Christmas Surprise], and [http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/?p=350 Sister to Sister].
* [[Inquisitive Joe]] get's one which also doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for sticking up and apologizing to a youtube user who insulted him after she was trolled off youtube by his own fan's!
Line 105:
* From [[The Salvation War]], a leader of the burgeoning resistance of dead souls within Hell learns that the person who's been keeping the portals open for them to get supplies is a transexual. At first he's disgusted, but quickly realizes how much she's done for him while suffering extraordinary pain every time she opens a portal. Eventually he completely overcomes the prejudice he was raised with to regard her as a valuable member of the team.
** More recently, the angel of death Uriel attempted to lay waste to Eucalyptus Hills, California -- even through the defenses (read: tinfoil covering houses) his power to kill managed to penetrate, but by force of will and love for one another the people inside held out long enough for the [[Macross Missile Massacre|U.S. Navy to come through]]. It's especially poignant due this being shown through the eyes of a human resident and her dog:

** In a weird way, this troper finds Abigor's surrender heartwarming -- at least, because his last surviving veterans, his mates, and his kidlings ''don't'' have to die for the (arguably) inevitable and unavoidable mistakes he made in his invasion of Earth.
** There's also the scene where a daemon mother, assuming that only harm can come from the humans from Earth invading Hell, hides her kidlings and begs US forces to kill her but spare her children, but they instead are perfectly happy to spare the whole family and even feed her children for good measure.
** After {{spoiler|Robert E. Lee}} overhears his instructor in 21st-century warfare evaluating him as ''dangerously'' incompetent for a combat command, he takes full responsibility for his failure to adapt and throws himself at the mercy of their commanding general David Petraeus, even praising his lower-ranked tutor -- a female African-American captain, no less -- as a fine officer and tutor with great skill and patience. Petraeus in turn offers him a desk job... but instead of "exile," it's administering a convalescent home for former American ''and'' Confederate soldiers who're either traumatized or [[Fish Out of Temporal Water|feeling alone and unwanted in the 21st century]]:

"Then the position is yours. You may start tomorrow." }}
** Even [[Magnificent Bastard|Michael]] gets one when he's about to finally challenge Yahweh openly, accepting that he's definitely going to die if his plan fails before advising his allies of the best way to avoid Yahweh's reprisals if that happens. Then it gets better: {{spoiler|those same allies ignore his advice and join the battle with him, just when Michael was about to give up.}}
Line 121:
** [http://macromeme.com/cat/4chan-pays-rent.jpg "Just paid your rent for you, /b/ro. Have a nice life."]
* [[The Onion]] article [http://www.theonion.com/content/node/38567 Stoner Uncle All The Kids' Favorite] is both hilarious and very sweet in it's own way. So many Onion articles are aptly cynical takes on human nature but this is almost pure sweetness, as even his siblings grudgingly admit that while they disapprove of him that he is great with kids. And this line always makes me go "awwwwwwww!"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc This] [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix|Not-So-Stupid Statement Dance Mix]]. While the [[Carl Sagan]] quotes by themselves are pretty inspiring, setting them to soaring music transforms the whole thing into weapons-grade [[The World Is Just Awesome|The Whole Damn Universe Is Just Awesome.]]
* At the end of the [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Love Uncyclopedia article for "Love"], after making fun at it (as is expected), showing it a destructive and deadly force, and even almost calling it a disease, the article ends with a strangely touching summary:

** What makes it even better for this troper is that this is an almost direct quote of the opening monologue of [[Love Actually]].
*** Whoever you are that pointed that out. You made me very, very happy. Thank You
Line 142:
* This one is a little odd, but bear with me; go to Encyclopedia Drammatica, look up the "You BAWW, you lose" page, and a handful of the links. The odd wierd porn aside (with a much lower concentration, I may add), the entire thing is one big tearjerker. Gives one hope for the human race.
* A few weeks after Dreamwork's released "How to Train Your Dragon" an anonymous user on Livejournal admitted that the movie made them cry, almost as if they were ashamed of it. After being told by others that they had cried as well, and asking which scenes in particular the user meant, they came back and replied with this:

* [http://hunterjedispirit.ytmnd.com/ This] [[YTMND]]. Nerdy, funny, and really quite sweet.
* In response to his explosion of popularity and support after his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_35KKa3b1c awesome Oprah audition] went viral, Zach Anner had this to say:

* The ending of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMPQWjb0rZo&feature=related this] [[Touhou]] music video. [[Sand in My Eyes|I...I think there's something in my eye...]]
** Another Touhou video, this time starring [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLhaCRETM4 Hina]. It'll make you sway!
Line 159:
** "Ayla and the Grinch": Ayla gets an unexpected Christmas present from some members of her estranged family.
*** From that same story, when Grace forces Ayla to hide from some mutant hunters by making her dress up like a girl and enter a local beauty pageant. Ayla, thinking it's another of Grace's schemes to force [[Gender Bender|"her"]] to embrace "her" female side, bitches about it and threatens to sell Grace's new car, until this:
{{quote|
*** {{spoiler|When the demon attacks at the pageant and Ayla is trying to fight it off, Christie and Rachael, the fundamentalist and shy girl respectively, help ward it off with their cross and Star of David. At the end of the story, Ayla pulls some strings to get them good college scholarships and free appointments with psychologists who'd believe them. "They both deserved the Miss Teen Santa Monica title a lot more than the stupid, talentless bimbos who got the top three places."}}
* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' has numerous examples, but a most recent one includes Sarah Xu, Dutchy Ayers, and Brendan Wallace, who, after both almost giving up hope after realising where they were and [[There Can Only Be One|what was going to happen to them]], Brendan finally finds her and his ex-boyfriend in the same place.

** And Sarah's reaction:

* The best (but hardly the only) examples from the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'':
** The storyline in which Powered Armor-wearing superheroine Diamond adopts an little girl orphaned in a supervillain attack.
Line 182:
* The end of this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXqaAtbL_js Pokemon LP] towards the end, where it's revealed {{spoiler|the whole video was just a way to propose to his girlfriend.}} Made better in the comments where {{spoiler|she accepted.}}
* After [[Wikipedia]] voluntarily disabled access to all of its pages to protest SOPA, this message was posted. Even if they're [[Fandom Rivalry|our rivals]], you can't read it without shedding a few [[Manly Tears]].

More than 162 million people saw our message asking if you could imagine a world without free knowledge. You said no. You shut down Congress’s switchboards. You melted their servers. Your voice was loud and strong. Millions of people have spoken in defense of a free and open Internet.
For us, this is not about money. It’s about knowledge. As a community of authors, editors, photographers, and programmers, we invite everyone to share and build upon our work.
Our mission is to empower and engage people to document the sum of all human knowledge, and to make it available to all humanity, in perpetuity. We care passionately about the rights of authors, because we are authors.
SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows. What’s happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The Internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you've directed your energy to protecting it.
We’re turning the lights back on. Help us keep them shining brightly.'' }}
* Found this short video online, created by William Joyce: [http://vimeo.com/35404908 The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore], which is absolutely amazing. For anyone who loves books and reading, this is a must-watch. Be forewarned; it crosses over into [[Tear Jerker]] territory.
