* Despite the harrowing circumstances, the epilogues of ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' have several of these.

to:

* Despite ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' introduces Yuma, a former Riveteer from New Capenna, one of the faces for the set's Preconstructed Commander Decks, and ''Magic'''s first canonically transmasculine character! That alone was enough to get people excited, but Yuma also got a great spotlight story written by transmasc author Isaac Fellman that made people like him as a character too.

* Despite the harrowing circumstances, the epilogues of ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' have several of these.
** Desperate to keep them alive after everything they've been through, [[spoiler: Jace takes Vraska to Vryn and crashes into the living room of his mother, who he hasn't seen for years between his amnesia and his shame]].
** After she gets over the shock of seeing them, [[spoiler: Ranna Beleren wastes no time in healing them both. Once he's stable enough to keep communication open with her, she asks if Vraska is his wife--and tells him he did well finding her. In fact, Ranna is very welcoming to Vraska beyond simply healing her. She doesn't show any fear even though she has no idea what she is (there are no Gorgons on Vryn), feeds her, lets her and Jace stay as long as they need to, and happily tells her stories of Jace as a child.]]
** Despite the more concerning context of their schemes, [[spoiler: all of Jace and Vraska's interactions with Loot are incredibly sweet. He asks Loot's permission before peering into his mind and, while he and Vraska had joked about adopting a child at some point, it suddenly hits him that Loot could be that child. Loot quickly takes to the two of them, and Vraska babies the child as she describes the wonders of Tarkir. Then Jace goes there and returns quickly with take out for all of them. After everything, all three of them quickly take to being a family together.]]

* In a meta sense, ''Neon Dynasty'' as a whole. After over a decade of Wizards of the Coast deriding Kamigawa as an unsalvageable failure, not only is there a return to it lavished with ridiculous amounts of affection (from animated trailers to manga to even an album and VisualNovel) but the original set's storyline is immortalised as sagas and forever stamped into the plane as its core conflict is now tradition vs technology.
** The interaction between Jin-Gitaxias and a now compleated Tamiyo isn't as twisted as one would expect. [[BenevolentBoss Gitaxias]] is sincerely proud of her "perfection" and Tamiyo hasn't lost her caring personality, except that now she considers Phyrexia the family she has to protect.

** Also in Midnight Hunt, it's revealed by Six, Wrenn's tree buddy, is refered to as male despite being... a tree. Trees have no innate sense of gender, but dryads do. After bonding with Wrenn, Six learned of the concept and, after some consideration, concluded that he liked being male.

** The Ravnica-focused side-story for ''March of the Machine'', "One and the Same", shows us the compleated Vraska's own perspective as she leads the invasion of her own home, with blaring, loud red text representing her Phyrexian self's thoughts, and normal text showing her real self [[FightingFromTheInside peeking out here and there]]. It ultimately culminates in her being blasted by Ral Zarek with a device and her own consciousness coming back to light, wherein she has what seems like a dream meeting with Jace (it's unclear if it's truly him or simply a mind magic memory imprint), and they well and truly reciprocate their love after wishing they could go back and do it better. It's always good to know that Jace still looks out for Vraska.
** When all is said and done in ''March of the Machine'', there's an ultimately hopeful look on the multiverse despite all the death and destruction. The planes are now more connected than ever via the Omenpaths, the Mirrans are finally able to stop fighting, Nissa and Ajani are uncompleated and welcomed as themselves once again, Chandra and Nissa are (finally) together and off exploring to find the now-desparked Nissa a way back to Zendikar, and Teferi seems to be willing to enjoy a good retirement.
