History Heartwarming / ProvenGuilty

* While it's the type of thing that goes under the radar, there is a very moving moment when Harry is using his Sight on one of the victims of the phobophages and he turns to look at Murphy. He sees Murphy with the stains of her life as the head of SI and then: "She smiled at me, a sunny light in it, though her body's face remained a neutral mask." I missed it the first time I read through and it made me do a double take when I reread it because it conveyed faster then almost any scene in the series that Murphy is Harry's friend and loves him.

* Molly's return home, from the same book. Michael's first reaction on seeing his daughter come home with rainbow-coloured hair, dressed "like Frankenhooker", covered in tattoos and with piercings in pretty much every place where it is possible to have one, is to hug her.

* Also from the same book, the scene in which Harry finds out that the fetches have taken Molly to Arctis Tor, Mab's capital and one of the major strongholds of Faerie. Harry states that the mission has just gotten more difficult, and he doesn't expect Thomas, Charity or Murph] to still come. Without a word, they step up to his side, willing to do it anyway. To quote Harry: "A bolt of warmth, fierce with joy and pride and gratitude, flashed through me like sudden lightning. I don't care about whose DNA recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand beside you without flinching- they are your family. And they were my heroes."

* Also from the same book, the scene in which Harry finds out that [[spoiler: the fetches have taken Molly to Arctis Tor, Mab's capital and the stronghold of literally half of Faerie( when she needs to. A considerable yet unknown amount of Faerie is Wyldfae turf. She can Call them into her service if War is declared, but otherwise, its a considerable bit less. Of course, she has considerable ties to the more powerful Wyldfae, and she's so powerful that the Wyldfae defer to her or her sister even at times of peace, so it's probably effectively even more, especially considering the whole "wheels within wheels" thing she - and most other fae - have going on.).]] Harry states that the mission has just gotten more difficult, and he doesn't expect [[spoiler: Thomas, Charity or Murphy]] to still come. Without a word, they step up to his side, willing to do it anyway. To quote Harry: "A bolt of warmth, fierce with joy and pride and gratitude, flashed through me like sudden lightning. I don't care about whose DNA recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand beside you without flinching- they are your family. And they were my heroes."
* Harry plans a location spell to find a kidnapped [[spoiler: Molly]], using an untested magical gizmo he's been working on that may very well blow up in his face with enough power to kill him and destroy his entire lab. It's so dangerous that even Lash is pleading with him not to do it, or at least [[DealWithTheDevil take up the coin]] so he can survive if it does go bad. Harry's response?

* Later on in the same book, after [[spoiler: rescuing Molly from Arctis Tor]] a weary Thomas asks Harry and Murphy why they just went through all of that. Harry and Murphy exchange a smile and draw Thomas' attention to [[spoiler: Charity and Molly]]. Thomas' response: "Oh. Right."

--> "[[AsTheGoodBookSays Greater love hath no man]]," he said. "Nothing I can say would be enough. [[spoiler:She's my daughter, Harry.]] Thank you."
* Harry eventually reconciling with [[spoiler: Ebenezar]]. It took a couple of books, but considering how difficult Harry finds it to trust someone, forgiving someone for betraying it is a ''really'' big deal for him.
** An addendum to that. [[spoiler: Ebenezar]] has insisted that he wasn't at the council meeting that Harry's trial was conducted at. Harry realizes that not only was [[spoiler: Ebenezar]] fibbing about not being at the council meeting that Harry's trial was conducted at, but that [[spoiler: Ebenezar]] must have argued just as passionately for him as Harry did for [[spoiler: Molly]]. [[spoiler: Ebenezar]] still refuses to come out and say that it's true, but Harry knows.
* By the end of the book, Harry learns [[spoiler:Michael has known Harry has the shadow of Lasciel within him and took the coin to save Michael's youngest since the end of ''Death Masks'', having ''seen'' him pick up the coin. And Michael still saw Harry as family, inviting him to family dinners around Christmas, and even asks him to watch over his family when Michael is away.]]

** An added moment of heartwarming - despite knowing [[spoiler: that Harry has the shadow of a Denarian in his noggin]], Michael still trusts Harry with his daughter's training.

* Excluding the painful elevator scene, Harry and Murphy's entire interaction during the novel is one big hunk of heartwarming. She is steadfastly supporting him during the investigation and even the siege on Arctis Tor, and what's more is that she accepts the fact that [[spoiler: she's about to lose S.I. for going MIA while they rescued Molly because it was absolutely worth it to save her and to make sure Harry returned safely.]] The hug they share at the end is truly something sweet and special to experience.

--> "Greater love hath no man," he said. "Nothing I can say would be enough. [[spoiler:She's my daughter, Harry.]] Thank you."

* It's very quick and is given no real attention, but Harry kissing Murphy (for the first time that we the audience are aware of, at least) in celebration when she helps him figure out how to track Molly is absolutely ''adorable''.

** Slightly related to that, the fact that Thomas (of his own free will) had a private conversation about Harry to Murphy to find out what was really going on between them, since he knew full well his brother had feelings for her and vice versa. It's really endearing as hell that Thomas is a ShipperOnDeck from pretty much the get-go.

* Murphy assuring Harry that he's in control of his own destiny, and the black magic inside can't control him if he doesn't let it.

** And before this revelation, Harry confesses to Michael about how when he had to execute someone and how it made him feel, Michael responds by relating his own experiences and similar feelings, and then goes on to say with absolute certainty that he believes Harry is a good man. It was heartwarming enough that even Harry started to tear up. Like Harry says, Michael is good people.

--> Michael: Harry, am I just too old?
--> Harry: Hey, let he who hath never stonewashed his jeans cast the first stone.

--> "Greater love hath no man," he said. Nothing I can say would be enough. [[spoiler: She's my daughter, Harry.]] Thank you."
