The Vampire Diaries/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The end of "Haunted". Elena asks Stefan to erase Jeremy's memory of Vicki being a vampire and dying, but Stefan tells her he isn't powerful enough to do it. Just then, Damon shows up and tells Elena he'll do it, if that's what she wants.
  • Damon's completely honest concern regarding Elena's safety and his determination to rescue Stefan in "Let The Right One In" is this.
  • Damon dancing with Elena in "Miss Mystic Falls" covering for his brother who was too busy running off into the woods and trying to kill people.
  • The bathroom scene in 2x02 between Stefan and Caroline.

Stefan: I promise I will not let anything happen to you. Come here. *he hugs her*

  • The last scene between Elena and Caroline in "Kill or Be Killed". Especially the way Elena hugs Caroline to confort her. Aww.
  • Stefan apologizing to Damon at the end of "Rose" and telling him that he only turned him because he didn't want to be alone. "I guess I just needed my brother."
  • Bonnie and Elena comforting Caroline after she was captured and tortured by werewolves under the song "Losing Your Memory" in "Daddy Issues".
    • Stefan with Caroline earlier in that episode.

"You don't have to pretend with me."

  • Tyler's mother completely accepting him after learning that he's a werewolf, and promising to save Caroline, who she just found out is a vampire.
  • Kind of an odd one given all the horrible things they did, but it's kind of sweet when Klaus reveals the real reason he wanted Stephan with him was because of how much he treasured their friendship.
    • Watching a bunch of vampires bond over murder and booze in the 1920s and come back together has never been so oddly heartwarming.
  • Damon promising he is never going to leave Elena again and the obvious guilt he is feeling at leaving in the first place in 3x05.
  • From "Ghost World", both Grams telling Bonnie she is proud of her and Anna reuniting with her mother.
    • The simple facial expressions alone cemented the reunion of Anna with Pearl as possibly one of the most heartwarming things this troper has ever seen.
  • "Ordinary People"is full of this, most specifically Elena telling Damon that he's going to be the one to save Stefan.

"It won't be because he loves me. It'll be because he loves you."

    • From the same episode, Damon and Stefan's brotherly bonding, right from Damon busting Stefan out of his prison to Stefan betraying Klaus when Mikael threatens Damon to Damon telling Stefan why he has to save him.
    • Also, all the flashbacks of the Original family, especially Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah standing over their mother's grave and swearing to stand by each other, "always and forever".
  • Klaus surprisingly gentle and kind Pet the Dog moment with Caroline, encouraging her to keep living and see everything life has to offer especially an immortal life, and genuinely seeming sorry about hurting her. Telling her he loves birthdays and getting her a birthday present pretty much seals the confusingly heartwarming encounter. Time will tell if it's genuine, the start of some sort of romance, or him just being a Manipulative Bastard.
    • Any scene with Klaus and Caroline is heartwarming, creepy - considering the fact that he pretty much order her death at one point, but heartwarming all the same.
  • It's probably just me, but the scene where Caroline and Rebekah are talking in the beginning of Before Sunset seemed a bit heartwarming.
  • Caroline's genuine joy as she agrees to run away with Tyler to escape the Council.
