6	----
7	* Urf Day. Following the huge success of Warwick's Urf the Manatee skin, Riot donated the proceeds they had received during April Fools' to an organization devoted to the preservation of manatees.
8	* In the wake of the tragic 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan, Riot put Akali and her [[HospitalHottie Nurse skin]] on sale and donated all proceeds from the sale of both to the American Red Cross to aid with the relief efforts. At the end of the event [[http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=7586489#post7586489 over 50,000 summoners had contributed and Riot made a donation of over $160,000!]]
9	** In the light of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic spreading across the world, Riot revisited this concept in 2020 with a new fundraiser for frontline workers and those negatively affected by the virus, and they took the opportunity to make it even bigger. Not only was Nurse Akali put back on sale, she was bundled with her ninja kin in their doctor-themed skins (Surgeon Shen and Kennen M.D.) alongside [[ArtEvolution a major effects upgrade for each]] and a smattering of other cosmetics. Several months later at the fundraiser's conclusion, [[https://youtu.be/15EVQpMZhpM?t=53 Riot had raised over $2 million.]]
10	* The story of Joe, a Ewing's Sarcoma patient who was invited to tour Riot through the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Riot then put Joe's favorite skin, Jaximus, on sale, with all proceeds going to Make-a-Wish. When Joe passed away, Jaximus got a unique new line. "Here's to you, kid!"
11	** As a side note: Jaximus was almost put into the Legacy vault (basically, it could only be purchased whenever the vault opened), which lead to fans asking Riot not to put it into the vault. So, not only did Riot not put the skin in the vault, Jaximus is ''always'' registered as "Limited Availability" as a way to get people to look into the skin's origin and history.
12	** Even in 2019 Riot have not forgotten- the [[https://youtu.be/z12Yf0tMyZ4?t=55 Mecha Kingdoms Jax]] skin will greet Jaximus with the line "Kid, you're a true warrior."
13	** With Jax's [[ArtEvolution visual update]] in 2023, Joe's memory still lives on with a new "long move" line for Jax's updated default voiceover.
14	--->'''Jax:''' Bravest hero I ever knew was just a kid. Here's to you, champ.
15	* The very existence of the Dark Star Cho'Gath skin. Not necessarily because of the fact it's [[SpacetimeEater Dark Star]] [[EldritchAbomination Cho'Gath]], but the fact [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UvXiLShMgg it was created with Riot by a fan named Bryan from the Make-a-Wish Foundation]], who not only pitched the concept, but had a direct hand in creating the visual design and even helped recorded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKGeHMT6Ko4 a pseudo-login theme for the skin]]! The original request was that it simply be a [[UniqueItems one-of-a-kind custom skin for Bryan to use as a memento]], but once word of his story got around Riot Games, [[https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/support-local-nonprofits-dark-star-chogath it was temporarily put on sale]], where ''all'' the proceeds went to charities all across the world.
16	* Riot artist [=IronStylus=] was tasked with designing a female tank champion. He needed a strong woman to base her on... so he asked his wife to be the model. He [[http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=18556007#18556007 later admitted]] Leona's default art is more or less an unaltered portrait of his wife, just with her hair and eyes colored orange.
17	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dvYxkyQFZU Trials of the Poro]], a short movie about one of the game's mascot {{Ridiculously Cute Critter}}s getting caught up in a huge battle somewhere in Freljord while searching for Poro Snax. The heartwarming comes in when the terrified little poro is saved from an enormous RainOfArrows by a huge, cheerful, [[BaldHeadOfToughness bald]] warrior with a giant shield and a [[ManlyFacialHair mustache]] (actually the first reveal of upcoming champion Braum) who, after saving him, arranges his fur into a little mustache of his own.
18	-->'''Braum:''' Next time, you get ''my'' back, eh?
19	** Braum himself is essentially a Crowning ''Character'' of Heartwarming in many ways. Not only is he a SpiritedCompetitor and ultimately friendly to every other Champion in the league, but this carries over into gameplay as well - his entire kit is dedicated to protecting his teammates and shielding them from enemy attacks. You ''will'' feel good playing this Champion or being supported by him. His W skill, titled "Stand Behind Me," is often accompanied by lines such as [[ThirdPersonPerson "Stand behind Braum!"]] or [[BigDamnHeroes "And you thought you were in trouble."]] His whole personality can be summed up in one of his movement quotes:
20	--->'''Braum:''' "Sometimes icy heart just needs warm smile."
21	** Compounding this is his backstory/lore. What was that, you thought he'd be a StepfordSmiler with a tragic backstory to make him look like a SadClown? Well, NOPE. Braum's lore is basically just yet another his folk tales about saving other people. He's always a positive NiceGuy from get-go and has always been as such from start to finish. There's no such thing as angst in Braum, he's genuinely friendly, cheery, supportive. Sometimes, in the world where 'edgy is cool' and TrueArtIsAngsty, it's always assuring that there are guys like Braum, like saying that you don't have to be dark and edgy to be cool, and being a NiceGuy isn't that boring, but awesome.
22	** In ''Tales of Runeterra: Freljord'', Braum is told to GoOnWithoutMe as a Freljordian is injured in an attack and intends to perform a HeroicSacrifice by way of [[TakingYouWithMe shattering the glacial wall they're standing on]], to ensure the attackers cannot follow Braum and her infant son whom Braum is carrying, her last words is for Braum to raise her son well. Ordinarily, you'd expect such a scene to end with Braum walking away from the scene, perhaps cutting away post-timeskip to show the boy having grown up strong and proud. \
23	'''Not on Braum's watch!''' [[DareToBeBadass With a resolute "Come, little one"]] He jumps onto his shield, [[ShieldSurf surfs down the mountainside, overtakes the avalanche]], tackles the falling freljordian out of her fall with his free arm, taking the brunt of the fall himself, landing right in front of the avalanche, quickly handing the Freljordian her baby back, then picks up his shield, and ''blocks the avalanche'' while giving them both reassuring smiles as the avalanche is forced to part around them. It doesn't matter whether it's bows, cannons, magic, or avalanches, Braum ''will'' protect you.
24	* Azir's reincarnation story. Sivir has just been betrayed by Cassiopeia (who in turn, becomes cursed herself, and released Renekton and Xerath back upon the world) and left for dead. What's Azir's first thoughts upon returning from the dead due to Sivir's blood (having unknowingly been descended of his bloodline) and actions? He picks her up and takes her to a place with healing waters, and brings her back from the brink of death. This selfless act, causes him to receive the power of Ascension, and begin the revival of Shurima.
25	* The reason Lee allowed his fellow monks to stop his self-immolation? His sister, who was living in Galrin (which was one of several Noxian-occupied provinces at the time), visited him after Ionia was liberated.
26	* The very fact that [[TinTyrant Mordekaiser]], according to [[WordofGod Word of God]], is [[PetTheDog extremely protective]] of [[CuteMute Sona]], due to the fact that she is the most delicate member of the band they are in. Which they share with [[TheBerserker Olaf]], [[RevenantZombie Yorick]], and [[OurLichesAreDifferent Karthus]], resulting in one of the most bizarre, yet heartwarming cases of [[OddFriendship Odd Friendship]] in the entire League canon.
27	* After a mutual hostility that lasted years of real time, the former partners Twisted Fate and Graves have resolved their differences. They're even officially listed as "Friends" on their respective champion bios. (Though you'd better believe they had to [[EarnYourHappyEnding earn that reconciliation]].)
28	* Japan and PC Gaming aren't exactly the most compatible pair, as the latter is mostly having cult favorite status in the former (console and mobile gaming are bigger hits there). But then, Riot Games revealed on how they are planning up the Japanese server, and they're really serious on this, not only they bring forth several well-known SugarWiki/NamesToKnowInAnime, these seiyuus (so far Creator/SumireUesaka (Jinx), Creator/KeijiFujiwara (Master Yi), Creator/AoiYuuki (Lulu) and Creator/NatsukiHanae (Ziggs)) truly gave their all for this job ([=FujiKei=] even claimed to have traveled to a mountain to meditate, solely to prepare himself to the role of Yi) and are enjoying the work with Riot, Hanae has also recalled that he's actually an avid LOL player and did a lot of Ranked Games, attended local tournaments and has nothing but enjoyment recalling those memories (in spite of being Japanese, he'd have to content with the massive lags, and with the release of LOL Japan, he and the rest of Japanese players may get a better, less laggy environment). It might be small, but it's nice to see that even LOL, confined in a platform not that widespread in the Land of the Rising Sun, are well loved there beyond just fanarts.
29	* The climax of Lucian's story in [[http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_and_Fortune Shadow and Fortune]]. Throughout the story, Lucian has been waiting for his chance to get revenge on Thresh for murdering his wife Senna, although he's increasingly troubled by how he's starting to find it difficult to remember her face without looking at the locket he wears with her picture in it. When he confronts Thresh, the wraith is immune to his weapons and gloats that he tore their secrets from Senna's mind when he enslaved her soul, horrifying Lucian and driving him to a HeroicBSOD. When Thresh is about to finish him and claim his soul, ''Senna herself'' forces her way to the front of the crowd of hundreds of thousands of tormented souls trapped in the lantern and implores him to fight and live. Wrapping his locket's chain around Thresh's wrist and stabbing him through it with his silver awl, Lucian weakens Thresh's control over the lantern and Senna leads the souls in rebellion against the Warden, weakening his defences enough for Lucian to blast him with their twin relic weapons, forcing him to flee for his unlife. ThePowerOfLove triumphs over the darkness and Lucian finds a new purpose in life beyond simple revenge- to finally free Senna from Thresh forever.
30	-->He caught the briefest glimpse of Senna’s face in the lantern and etched it on his heart.\
31	\
32	Never again would her face grow dim in his memories.
33	-->[...]\
34	“Thank you, my love,” said Lucian. “My light.”
35	* In a sense, Kled's reveal video ''Reunion'' has a rather heartwarming touch, the reunion between him and Skaarl gives off a feeling as if someone found their lost pet, or reunited with an old friend. The big smiles on both of their faces sold the fact easily. TheStinger soon after gives off a feeling of doing something fun the two would always do before the separation.
36	** This is also expanded upon in his lore's short story, "Where the Drakalops Roam". After Kled finds himself nearing death while fighting against Noxian Soldiers, Skaarl seemingly shows up by his side in the nick of time, ready to fight after having ran off prior in the story.
37	-->'''Kled:''' Any hope I got of surviving this, it’s gone… And that’s when I see her. The most loyal, trustworthy, honorable friend an undeserving bastard like me could ever have. [[BigDamnHeroes Skaarl.]]\
38	\
39	Riding like hell toward me. Faster than I’ve ever seen her run. A rooster tail of dust is shooting up behind her. The damn lizard even picks up my hat on her way to me. I run to her just as those black-clad warriors are about to crush me. I leap into the saddle, and we circle around the iron warriors. There’ll be time to kill them after we get rid of that ballista.
40	* Like many other champions, Ahri gets her own Arcade skin. In the [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZzXth_UJDxs/V6TyFZQh0RI/AAAAAAAA9XU/ma0keE8eofoUQr5RpDtcmQ1cjq3HgGxrQCLcB/s1600/2eaaf8b0ae33f1b2.jpg official splash art]], bottom right corner, Ahri has her health bar completed with a chibi 8-bit eye shut icon of her. The in-game back to base animation has her happily hugging an old arcade machine and proceeds to play it.
41	* Just when you thought that Luxanna Crownguard was going to be [[MagicalGirl the only one that will punish somebody in the name of Demacia]], Riot continued the skin tradition and gave it to [[TastesLikePurple Lulu]], [[BlowYouAway Janna]], [[FoeTossingCharge Poppy]] and [[PerpetualSmiler Jinx]]. Their skins are even completed with [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter adorable]] [[FairyCompanion creatures]] in the most pure MagicalGirl tradition.
42	* Similar to Braum, Ivern is one of League's [[NiceGuy nicest]], [[WideEyedIdealist most optimistic]], [[FriendToAllLivingThings and overall pleasant champions.]] While he does have a somewhat dark history of being known as Ivern the Cruel before his HeelFaceTurn from cutting down the God-Willow, he now seems to be a genuinely caring, whimsical, and friendly character. Fans have compared him to a Dr. Seuss character or [[Series/TheJoyOfPainting Bob Ross]] in terms of gentle fortitude (which is fitting, [[ShoutOut because he even has a line specifically referencing "A happy little cloud."]])
43	* [[FunPersonified Rakan]] and [[DeadpanSnarker Xayah,]] [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters while having]] [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized some questionable]] [[FantasticRacism morality,]] are clearly and utterly devoted to each other. As such, [[BattleCouple their many in-game interactions when paired up together,]] [[Funny/LeagueOfLegends when not being hilarious,]] are just plain adorable, if occasionally a little twisted.
44	-->'''Xayah''': If things go wrong--\
45	'''Rakan:''' They always go wrong.\
46	'''Xayah:''' They don't ''always'' go wrong.\
47	'''Rakan:''' Mostly?\
48	'''Xayah:''' They ''mostly'' go wrong.\
49	'''Rakan:''' That's why I'm here.\
50	\
51	'''Rakan:''' Did I tell you I love you?\
52	'''Xayah:''' Yes... but say it anyway.\
53	'''Rakan:''' I love you.\
54	\
55	'''Xayah:''' I'm so tired...\
56	'''Rakan:''' You gotta rest, honey.\
57	'''Xayah:''' Everyone is depending on me.\
58	'''Rakan:''' Everyone can wait.\
59	\
60	'''Rakan:''' What would you do if I died?\
61	'''Xayah:''' I would... burn this world to the ground and build a castle from the ashes, where I would live alone forever.\
62	'''Rakan:''' Aw... that's sweet.\
63	\
64	'''Xayah:''' I swear, you will be the death of me.\
65	'''Rakan:''' I'm fine with that.\
66	'''Xayah:''' Me too.
67	** Again for Xayah and Rakan, the animated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkihKQ7Exvo&ab_channel=LeagueofLegends Light and Shadow video]] for their Star Guardian skins has Xayah constantly pushing Rakan away because she was trying to put her revenge against Neeko before reason, leaving the audience to question whether Xayah loves him in this skinlines universe. That is, until near the end when the floor begins to collapse, about to take an unconscious Rakan with it. Instead of jumping to safety or flying away as Xayah was depicted as being able to do earlier in the video, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther she jumps to Rakan to save him and they fall together]]. At the end of the video when Ahri makes her appearance, Xayah can be seen helping Rakan to his feet and allowing him to lean on her.
68	* Mixed with [[Tearjerker/LeagueOfLegends a touch of sadness]], the story of Doran, creator of Doran's Ring, Shield, and Blade. He was born with a passion for crafting, and at the age of 15, he became an UltimateBlacksmith who got invited to the Institute to be their blacksmith. However, on route, he suffered an accident that robbed him of his genius, but not his passion, and where once he produced single, masterpiece items, he now produces simpler items in large quantities. The fact that his items are daily used in matches, and he has a permanent home at the Institute, shows that, even if bittersweet, he still got a happy ending.
69	** Related to the entry below. While it's true that the Institute was [[RetCon retconned]] and doesn't exist anymore, Doran wasn't erased with it. '''Ornn''' claims to have taught Doran everything he knows, which not only shows us yet again Ornn's soft side for humans, but also means that Doran still lives on! Also, the tone in which Ornn talks inspires the subtle feeling that he is proud of his student, no matter if the items he creates are "low tier".
70	** As revealed in [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/masteryi-color-story "Homecoming]]", Doran is buried in Ionia. And his legacy still lives into the games present time.
71	-->'''Master Yi''': Master Doran, this is from Wukong. He couldn't make the journey with me, but he wanted me to bring you his favorite fruit. He loves his staff, almost as much as he loves making fun of the helmet you gave me.
72	* It's a very subtle feeling, but when one goes about having [[UltimateBlacksmith Ornn]] forge an item himself, you can just about hear the contentment in the light humming he partakes in while he works. It makes it clear that while Ornn may be a grumpy old goat away from his forge, he loves his hobby. He loves creating. And that he can enjoy making anything like that, even in the middle of a battle, is pretty sweet.
73	** Additional one for Ornn. While most of the gods or higher beings in Runeterra are aloof towards mortals and even Ornn doesn't show much overt action towards mortals in his free time, it is clear he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and not a JerkassGod. His desire to avenge his fallen followers and warning others to seek shelter for their own safety while he handles Volibear demonstrate he does keep an eye out for everyday folk.
74	* The resolution of [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/confessions-of-a-broken-blade-act-1-story/ 'Confessions of a Broken Blade']], a story about Riven and Yasuo, finally resolves both of their stories in a way that is surprisingly anticlimactic but truly heartwarming. Elder Souma's death is found to be an accident caused when Riven asked him to destroy her Noxian sword. Yasuo is exonerated in all eyes ([[ItsAllMyFault except his own]]) and forgives Riven before departing into self-imposed exile. She is sentenced to a lifetime of labor in Ionia to help repair what the Noxians had broken -- which for her means [[TheUnishment returning to an elderly couple who have adopted her]]. The story ends with them embracing Riven and calling her ''dyeda'' ("daughter") as she finally accepts the possibility of atonement.
75	** Next time we see Riven in the story [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/riven-color-story/ 'Seams and Scars']], she's still living happily as Asa Konte's ''dyeda'' (and he's implicitly protective of her), albeit still burdened by guilt. But Muramaat, the mender she meets in the story, tells her that even though mending broken things leaves scars, the scars leave the mended thing strong, and maybe even more beautiful. And despite Muramaat's doubts about her, she proves she ''has'' changed when she protects Muramaat's caravan from a bandit attack by merely knocking the attackers out without killing or even seriously harming them, winning the mender's trust and earning an apology for doubting her. lthough the story does contain a dark note as [[{{Foreshadowing}} Muramaat is able to sense Riven's three Noxian "sisters" who are hunting her down through her broken sword to punish her for her betrayal...]]
76	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKISuOpQniQ "It's Me & You"]] just melts the heart with Nunu and Willump's adventures across Runeterra.
77	* In a somewhat twisted way, [[FriendlyEnemy Odyssey Kayn and Rhaast's relationship]]. While the relationship between the two both in canon and in the [[SpaceOpera Odyssey]] [[AlternateUniverse universe]] is pretty hostile, their [[SillinessSwitch increased quirkiness]] in the latter (especially [[AxCrazy with]] [[TheCaligula Kayn]]) makes their bickering sound less like stubborn butting heads and more like VitriolicBestBuds. Even if Kayn successfully ascends into his Shadow Assassin form and gains the powers of ora he wanted, he occasionally sounds remorseful of having to purge Rhaast to do so. Poor guy just wants a friend... and [[GalacticConqueror universal domination]].
78	-->'''Kayn''': ''(cheerily)'' What does the voice of Ora say today?\
79	'''Rhaast''': Go to hell, Kayn!\
80	'''Kayn''': ''(same tone)'' Already there, Rhaast, already there.
81	* [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/the-whispering-doodad/ The Whispering Doodad]] gives us a look into the OddFriendship that is [[MilitaryMaverick Tristana]] and [[CloudCuckoolander Lulu]]. Despite Tristana quickly getting fed up with Lulu's antics when danger is nearby, the two appear to be quite close, showing them coming to each other's rescue when about to be killed as well as Lulu happily giving Tristana great big hugs here and there.
82	* In [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/janna-color-story/ "Deep Breath"]], a poor Zaunite boy who'd worked hard after the death of his mother only to be denied even the chance to make something of himself by the arrogant Piltovans is [[DespairEventHorizon on the verge of giving up altogether]] when he prays to Janna, who his mother had told him watches over him. ''And Janna appears,'' blowing away the toxic clouds of Zaunite Grey, tenderly hugging him from behind and encouraging him to never give up, giving him a kiss on the cheek and finally, just to make him laugh, using her winds to humiliate the arrogant Piltovan clan baron who'd snubbed him before.
83	-->“It might not be okay now. You might not be okay for a while. And that’s fine. But someday, without knowing exactly when or why or how it happened, you’ll feel happy,” she says. My face is warm and wet and I don’t know when I started crying but it’s a relief, like the clouds are clearing, and I hold her arms and she holds me, just telling me over and over that it’s okay, that she’s here, that things will be better.
84	* After all these years, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjvDFvzfxsQ Lucian and Senna are finally reunited.]]
85	* According to Alune, she has a frequent visitor in the spirit realm: Yuumi. Who likes to visit and snuggle while she reads.
86	* Sett is nowhere close to being the most moral character in Runeterra, but [[MommasBoy his sheer reverence towards his mama]] [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas is incredibly sweet]]. In his short story, we also see that while [[DontTellMama she doesn't have the honest answer to what Sett's business actually is]], she's genuinely proud of her son making a respectable living to support the both of them.
87	* While travelling through dreams in [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/dream-thief/ "The Dream Thief"]], Lissandra comes across a man lost in the unforgiving Freljord. Too far gone to be saved, she stays with him and offers him a peaceful final dream.
88	-->'''Lissandra''': “Your people are waiting for you, friend,” she whispers. “Lay down in the long grass. I will watch over you while you rest.”
89	* Ekko, as can be seen in the comic, ''Chronobreak'', uses his Z-drive all the time to try events again, again, and again, dozens of times in attempts to make things right. In the short-story ''Lullaby'' though, he also goes through his [[BirthdayEpisode "name day"]] with his parents several times without changing a single thing. It really underlines how much he values his time with his parents and everything they do for him, even if he doesn't fully agree with everything they want for him.
90	* Surprisingly, ''Viktor'', of all characters, has become pretty heartwarming in his new lore. He still want to enact his "Glorious Revolution", but he doesn't want to [[UnwillingRobotization force it on people]], instead regarding those who are against his cybernetics with simple indifference and making absolutely sure that those who do want them are fully aware of the potential side effects. Sure, some of those side-effects can be pretty bad, but in [[CrapsackWorld Zaun]], he's a borderline ''saint''.
91	** This is best shown in [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/viktor-color-story/ "House on Emberlift Alley"]], where a boy is dared by his bully friends to go into Viktor's lab. Not only is Viktor perfectly cordial to the kid, asking him to simply hand him a tool while he works on his own cybernetics, but he even gives him a glass of sweetmilk and some advice on facing his fears. The story ends with Viktor helping the boy stand up to his bullies, both by scaring them with a microphone, and also by giving him a ''temporary'' implant to stop his fear so he can confront them himself.
92	* The K/DA comic 'Harmonies,' tells how Seraphine got to sing with K/DA: Evelynn saw a video of Seraphine singing an acoustic version of "POP/STARS" on her guitar in English, and Ahri decided she needed to make a phone call to the girl (mainly because it reminded Ahri of when she was younger with her own guitar). What happened was a chance of a lifetime for Seraphine, and her former boss, Ben, encouraged her to take it. Akali, having taken the "new girl" for a motorbike ride, shows how deep K/DA's bonds run, and True Damage came to be from Akali "channeling her inner Ahri" to bring its artists together. And once Ahri showed Akali Seraphine's video, Akali knew they had another irreplaceable voice. Which would lead to their 2020 hit, "MORE."
93	** Something notable about the 'Harmonies' comic involves that Seraphine and Ben constantly are wearing face masks. Seraphine made her debut in the middle of UsefulNotes/{{COVID}}, with her depicted in both the comic and her social media using proper safety guidelines, and her and KDA still managed to do her debut concert.
94	* In the "Wild Rift" trailer, Blitzcrank is all alone playing catch by himself. When Jinx nabs him for the fight, Teemo offers him a ball to play with and the two team up in battle, sharing laughs and high fives all through out.
95	** In the [[https://youtu.be/AKtVVZs1d20 follow up]] to the trailer, Jinx and her crew wind up in China after Teemo spams her teleportation device. Lux, Yasuo and Blitzcrank have party supplies ready, exciting Jinx. The short ends with the gang watching a fireworks show while an elated Jinx pulls Yasuo and Lux into a side hug.
96	%%* while not so new the tale between Taliyah and Yasuo can be truly heartwarming even without the context; but with the Context one can truly feel twinges with it: this is a man who has lost everything thanks to a "lie" (than glory awaits in the battlefield) and has lost so much to care anymore, helping a little girl who has little control of her dangerous powers and who has been lied from the only [[HopeSpot "people who could teach her control"]] and who has losen all will to life not only finding conform into the other but managing to understand what his brother has always teached him.
97	* [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/rise-with-me/ "Rise With Me"]]. Basically an adorable shipfic of a younger Leona and Diana being awkward teenagers around each other. The story is also dotted with Diana's [[https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https%3A%2F%2Funiverse-meeps.leagueoflegends.com%2Fv1%2Fassets%2Fimages%2Fdoodle-leona-sword.png&resize=:6000 adorable]] [[https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https%3A%2F%2Funiverse-meeps.leagueoflegends.com%2Fv1%2Fassets%2Fimages%2Fdoodle-leona-portraits.png&resize=:6000 doodles]] of Leona, and in a rare occasion for a color story, [[https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https%3A%2F%2Funiverse-meeps.leagueoflegends.com%2Fv1%2Fassets%2Fimages%2Fdiana-leona-dance.jpg&resize=:6000 has]] [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/7d98ecb880b9d2b3ff38c652127645a3/45c5e41a6a3957bc-80/s2048x3072/942ab0ab521542f8f410440b24571853868d1666.jpg pictures]] of the two being clearly in love. And the cherry on top (And also awesome moment for those who have been shipping them for years).
98	-->And Leona kissed me
99	-->And I kissed Leona.
100	* In a way, the relationship between Lamb and Wolf is quite sweet. They're always together, no matter what, by each other's sides. So they always have a friend with them.
101	-->'''Wolf:''' How long will we be together?
102	-->'''Lamb:''' Forevermore.
103	* The fact that Kayle and Morgana still cares for each other deep inside despite their differences.
104	-->'''Kayle''': [[NotSoStoic Sister!]]\
105	'''Morgana''': [[VillainousRescue Kayle]]!?
106	* The "Still Here" cinematic gifts us Tryndamere, literally fighting TheGrimReaper aka Kindred (in an hallucination of some sorts, since he's really fighting many enemy soldiers in a losing battle, which is why he sees Kindred). At the peak of the battle, he has to use his Undying Rage to survive their (and the soldiers) onslaught, but it seems like everything's lost... until Ashe arrives to save him (by shooting two soldiers that were about to attack him) and snap him out of his rage, shown by his eyes going from battle-crazied, bloodthirsty red, to caring, loving blue. ArrangedMarriage be damned, it's finally shown in full colors that they both love each other.
