3* If you have watched ''Literature/FateZero'', you probably remember that Kiritsugu considered simply walking away from the Grail War, taking Iri and Illya with him, and destroying anyone standing in his way. Considering [[ShaggyDogStory the way events unfolded from there onwards]], it was a shame he didn't act on his promise... except the creators were so sorry for the man and his family that they created an ''official'' FixFic, in which he did exactly that. He realized that the safety and happiness of his own child and wife was more important than any world peace pipe dream, saved Illya from the Einzbern castle and stopped the Holy Grail War in its tracks. Since he and Irisviel are actively working to ensure that the War never happens again, not only can their family enjoy the stability and happiness they deserve, but Kiritsugu also achieved what he wanted all along: making the world itself a better place.
4** The scenes of Iri and Illya together. We get to see how would the mother/daughter relationship be without all the baggage of the main Fate 'verse, and the answer is apparently "awesome". Iri travels home on the whim that something feels off with her daughter. She decides to rope Luvia and Rin into helping her spy on her daughters, probably well knowing that Kuro would notice it and uses it as an opportunity to bond with her in a moment so heartwarming your ventricles will melt.
5* Illya convincing Kuro to not give up and try her hardest to live.
6* "Cooking is love."
7* Luvia to Miyu "Cause [[http://i45.tinypic.com/301zy48.png Afterall]]"
8* Luvia apologizing to Rin for mistreating her when she is duped into being her maid. Yes, things [[HereWeGoAgain go back to normal incredibly soon after Rin accepts the apology]], but that someone as egomaniacal as Luvia is actually able to admit that she was in the wrong and apologize to her rival is still touching.
9** An even bigger moment involving the two is when Bazett invades Luvia's mansion and begins fighting Luvia. Rin is watching from the shadows, sees how strong Bazett is, and has the opportunity to back out and escape. Instead, [[WhatYouAreInTheDark she stays and actually saves Luvia]] from being strangled by Bazett later on in the battle. For all their arguing, Rin and Luvia clearly [[VitriolicBestBuds have each other's back whenever it matters the most.]]
10* Illya and Miyu. Their relationship is adorable, starting with Miyu asking Illya how to fly and Illya's delight at her opening up.
11** Illya [[BigDamnHeroes leaping down to slash Berserker and saving Miyu just in time]]. Then when Miyu asks her why, declaring that Miyu is a precious friend to her. Sincerely touching.
12** Illya and Kuro's relationship as sisters. And the friendship between all three of them.
13* It's sweet to see poor Illya finally able to live a happy, peaceful life with her parents and Shirou as her older brother.
14* #23 has a small one: Miyu finally reuniting with her big brother. Also the love that this version of Shirou has for Miyu - his sister: The guy is willing to take on all evils of the world if it means saving his sister.
15** Later during Shirou's flashback, it's shown how he grew so close to his adoptive sister and why he's willing to go through hell and back in order to ensure her happiness.
16* Child Gil and Illya's friendship in 3wei. They get along so well, even though Gilgamesh rips out Illyasviel's heart in FSN it makes everything all the more cute and touching.
17* In Miyu's universe, the love that Sakura had for Shirou is very genuine and she was willing to throw everything away if it meant staying by her beloved Sempai's side. Which makes her death at Shinji's hands and later revival/brainwashing by Julian all the more tragic.
18* The reason Miyu's brother gives for saving his little sister.
19--> "''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight I'm an older brother. So I have to protect my younger sister, don't I?]]''"
20* As awesome as it is, Alternate Shirou and Kuro's fight against Angelica is also very sweet. They fight together, jointly deflecting Angelica's projectiles and racing forwards, while Shirou coaches Kuro in their Emiya-Archer fighting style. In other ''Fate'' storylines, Shirou has to run this lethal gauntlet solo. Other warriors have run it in vain, dying lonely deaths. This time, Shirou has his little sister to back him up. [[SiblingTeam They even jointly summon Rho Aias!]] [[note]] Okay, the magic twin of an alternate version of a Parallel Self's adoptive big sister, but whatever. [[/note]]
21* Chapter 41 reveals, for the last 400 years that Miyu's family only wished for their child to be born healthy. They could have made a wish at any time for wealth or riches, but only wanted their children to be well. With that knowledge, Shirou's actions are carrying out exactly what they would want.
22* Chapter 42 and 43 shows that Shirou finally reaches Miyu and with the omnipotent power of the Grail, wishes for his little sister to escape the evil clutches of the Ainsworths and leave their dying world; to travel to a place where she can make friends her age and finally be happy. While all this is happening, Shirou uses the last of his strength and endurance to challenge a ''Gilgamesh'' powered Angelica to a standstill and succeeds in rescuing Miyu. With Shirou's story finally coming to a close, everyone who is listening to it is in tears. Illya then thanks Shirou for essentially baring his heart and soul to them and is grateful towards the young hero who risked everything for the sake of one person. The closing caption sells it:
23-->'''The boy fought with everything on the line, all to protect the girl's smile...'''
24* As shown in chapter 58, even in another world, even in another life, Heracles will always be Illya's protector. After all, "Heracles can't be defeated, he's the strongest in the world!"
25* In a sense, the fate of Kirei in Miyu’s world could be considered an example of this. The original version of Kirei was tormented by the fact that he could only find fulfillment through doing evil, yet had enough of a conscience to realize what he was doing was wrong. By becoming a chef, the version of Kirei from Miyu’s world appears to have reconciled these contradictions. On one hand, he gets to torment people with his [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce ridiculously hot mapo]]. On the other, he is still a chef, providing food and nourishment to people with his cooking. It’s basically the best of both worlds for him.
26* Despite the fact that she'll lose everything dear to her and won't be able to return to the present if she went back 6000 years in the past, Illya still goes back to the past to befriend Pandora. And despite the fact that apparently this act causes ''everyone in the present'' to forget who she is, Miyu, despite not remembering her face or her name, knows her in her heart that Illya is important to her and she declares that she won't stop until she can bring her back.
27* In Chapter 70 of ''3rei'', as Shirou, Luvia, and Rin are fighting Sakura, Luvia and Rin blast her with Gandr simultaneously ([[NoSell and ineffectually]]). After they [[VitriolicBestBuds exchange a few feeble quips]], they immediately agree to working together - a far cry from their earliest interactions. Though it crosses into TearJerker, what follows belongs here.
28-->'''Rin:''' "Listen to your '''sister,''' Sakura."
29-->'''Sakura:''' ''[Freezes]'' "My... sister? What? [...] It's been five years... so much time... [[TearJerker Since she...]]"
30-->'''Rin:''' ''[Smiling sadly]'' "I'm glad that even in a world like this... we lived as sisters." ''[Blasts her with Gandr]''
31* Who is it that hammers the first crack in Illya's RetGone and restores her friends' memories? It's not Pandora, or even Miyu; it's ''Beatrice'', the Ainsworth-aligned BloodKnight that everyone except Illya herself decided could not and should not be saved, but managed to anyway. Beatrice couldn't forget the feelings Illya instilled in her by saving her life and overcoming her identity crisis, and those feelings resonated with her Magni Card, which in turn restored her memories. Illya's decision to SaveTheVillain has bore fruit in a way no one expected.
