* 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]]:

** 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 119:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzqNkIkj3rE The Birthday of William J. Lashua]. Also triples as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] ''and'' a [[Tear Jerker]] (in a good way).
*** To give more context, an anon saw a poster by the 89-year old World War II veteran Willian J. Lashua, inviting people to his 90th birthday. /b/ had a moment of collective sympathy and took it up on itself to make sure the old man a memorable birthday by sending him birthday cards. The end result was ''hundreds'' of birthday greeting cards, few parcels of gifts and about a dozen anons who actually showed up to the event. And from what we can tell, [[Beyond the Impossible|not a single case of trolling/spoiling occured]]. [[Chaotic Good]] in its finest form.

* [[The Onion]] article [https://web.archive.org/web/20100219102305/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!"

* The endings to the [[Colour My... Series]] flash games. The quotes at the end, combined with the music and the uniting of the protagonist and his love, really make the experience meaningful.
* adamwestslapdog, [[The Abridged Series|abridger]] of [[Ocarina of Time]] and [[Majoras Mask]], sells his Ocarina of Time cartridge and his Legend of Zelda Animated Series DVD box set on ebay and donates all the profits to charity. Sam the Greek, winner of the DVDs, watches them, hears about the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and proceeds to resell the DVDs, donating all the profits to the Red Cross and their efforts in Haiti. This Troper sincerely hopes that the person who wins the DVDs this time will continue the cycle.
* In [[Alice and Kev]], when the poor [[Sims]]-girl ([[The Woobie]] incarnate) finally gets a much-needed hug.
* 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:

** "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:

*** {{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.
** The storyline in which Stone tracks down the identity of his birth parents, only to find out that he is the son of two supervillains. It culminates in his convincing Battle, his mother, to make a [[Heel Face Turn]].
** The Shield, whose sole power is his complete and total invulnerability, giving his "I have AIDS, and the only thing keeping me alive is my powers" speech, followed by his sacrificing those powers, and thus his life, in order to save the world.
* This one was apparently intended as a creepypasta, but it's really too heartwarming to be one. A couple has a baby, but can't afford to support it, so they make the very difficult decision to drop it into the lake ([[Willing Suspension of Disbelief|one presumes]] orphanages at the time were all [[Orphanage of Fear|hellish]]). Fast forward about ten years, they're financially stable and have a four-year-old daughter. One day, the little girl really wants to go to the lake, so her parents take her. Then she sees a boat and begs to rent one, so they oblige. When they're out in the middle of the water, she suddenly needs to pee, so with little choice, her father holds her carefully over the edge of the boat so she can relieve herself. Before she does, she turns around to face him and says, "{{spoiler|Please don't drop me this time.}}"

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.

* 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.

* In the [[Reincarnation Fantasy|Isekai]] web novel ''[[Tori Transmigrated]]'' by "Aila Aurie", there is the moment Tori arranges for the ship she and most of her friends are traveling on to set off a fireworks show just as they sail past the monastery where another of their friends is cloistered, cut off entirely from the outside world, for two years while he attends seminary. She did it simply to let him know he was missed and hadn't been forgotten (she is the sole importer of fireworks for their nation, so she's the only one who could have arranged it), but the crowning moment is when they spy a familiar quilt being waved at them in return from one of the monastery windows and know that not only was the message received, but that he returns the sentiment.
