True Blood/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Terry comforting Lafayette after Andy sets off his PTSD.
  • How about Sookie, Bill, Lafayette and Lettie Mae working together to free Tara from Maryann's mind control?
  • Eric begging Godric not to up and kill himself.
  • Andy and Jason resolving their differences in "Frenzy".
  • Practically every Hoyt/Jessica scene in Season 2.
    • And Season 3 as well.
  • Terry (an Iraq War veteran) embracing Bill (a Civil War veteran) in "Sparks Fly Out" recognizing the connection they share as two former soldiers, even though they fought in wars separated by almost 150 years.
  • This exchange in "Night on the Sun" after Bill returns and releases Jessica so she can escape and not be hunted down from the Wolfpack and or the King of Mississippi. Jessica confesses she screwed up and needs Bills guidance.

Jessica: No! You listen to me. I drained someone. And I was hungry and I was sad and it was an accident, and and I didn't know how to control myself because you never taught me! No. I need you. You're the only maker I got.
Bill: I can't take care of you. I can't protect you! I'm no good to you.
Jessica: Well, I'm no good either, and I don't care what you say I am not leaving!
(She begins to cry, looks up.)
Jessica: I don't want to be alone anymore. (She breaks down and Bill slowly approaches her and cradles her as she clings to his waist like she's drowning and he's her lifejacket.)

    • Bill finally acting like a Maker,and training Jessica. Her excitement at her speed and his patient teaching ends up like a Father and daughter moment.
      • Especially if you've seen Jessica's video-blogs where she talks about how lonely and confused she feels without Bill.
  • Eric and Pam in "Everything Is Broken" especially when he tells her she should make her own vampire child should he not survive his upcoming tussle with Big Bad Russell Edgington. Aww.
  • Arlene admits to Terry that her baby is Rene's, and Terry immediately agrees to still raise it as his own.
  • Before the conversation goes to hell, Tara and Jason's moment in "I Smell A Rat" was exceedingly sweet and touching considering what they'd both been through and the fact that Tara still has residual feelings for Jason and vice versa. Too bad the ship had to sink yet again.
  • Eric and Pam saying their goodbyes before Eric tries to kill Russell in "Fresh Blood".

Eric: (Pam is crying) C'mon, what's this?
Pam: Nothing. Just the bleeds.
Eric: You know I love you more when you're cold and heartless. (kisses her)

  • Sookie paying for Egg's Funeral. It's a remarkably touching moment that will sadly go forgotten after the ending of the episode.
  • Really, basically any scene with Terry.
  • Sookie's grandfather's Heroic Sacrifice to get her back to Earth, and using his last moments to say he loves her.
  • Sam and Tommy mutually taking the first step to repairing their relationship, agreeing to try to trust each other a little more each day. Sure, it quickly goes to hell, but that one moment is nice.
  • Tara and Lafayette's relationship. Despite how much they call each other "bitch" and "hooker", the two cousins are utterly devoted to each other; he convinced her not to kill herself in the third season, and when she visits Bon Temps in the fourth after moving to New Orleans, she refuses to leave Lafayette until the whole mess with Eric and the witches is squared away.
  • All of Sookie and Eric's interaction in 4x5 (besides the dream sequence). Alexander Skarsgard's "lost little boy" performance really lets you buy how close they're growing.
  • S4E6, "I Wish I Was The Moon" -- Erik is down on his knees, before King Bill. He asks first for Pam to be set free, since she seems to be dying already. But then he gives a beautiful speech about what knowing and loving Sookie has meant to him. But then he tops it off by wishing that after his death, that Sookie and Bill can patch things up, because Sookie deserves happiness from whoever it is that can give it to her. All of this in a soft, sincere voice without a hint of irony.
    • Jason and Jessica's talk in the woods.
    • Bill sparing Eric's life so he and Sookie can be together.
  • Mavis being reunited with her baby.
  • Debbie moving past her jealousy of Sookie to help her sneak into Antonia's place.
    • Ruined in the Season 4 finale when she attempts to murder Sookie and shoots Tara instead.
  • Sam turning into a bunny for Emma to pet.
  • Despite having ruined any chance of reconciling with Sam, Tommy willingly takes a fatal beating from Marcus and his gang in his place.
  • Terry forcing Andy to admit his V addiction at their old treehouse.
  • Sam forgiving Tommy for everything, as Tommy dies.
  • Eric not reverting to his evil ways when he gets his memory back.
    • Pam's reaction when she learns Eric's memory has returned.
  • Say what you want about Maxine, but seeing her comforting Sam and still referring Tommy as her son despite everything and tells Sam to consider her his mom. Maxine may not be mother of the year but when compared to Sam's parents I found that heartwarming. Even Sam was moved by that.
  • Ginger hugging Pam as she weeps over losing Eric, after being told she'll die if she does it.
  • Andy and Holly starting over.
  • "Just keep breathing baby."
    • Followed by Lafayette being able to feel Jesus' ghost.
  • Antonia and Gran helping Marnie pass on.
