Context Heartwarming / OnceUponATimeAbridged

Go To

1At first, whenever a character feels more humanish emotions, this tends to happen. This fanfiction does still principally relies on HeroicComedicSociopath and other borderline (but definitely funny) DudeNotFunny things... However, its emotional heart grew around Emma trying to parent Henry, her OddFriendship with Mary Margaret, her strangely friendly relationship with Mr. Gold and the latter's friendship with Archie and PetTheDog moments. Now, there are much more heartwarming moments.
2
3----
4* Despite it's oddness for readers and characters alike, Mr. Gold's friendship with Archie falls under this from the very moment bowling night is mentionned, and even earlier.
5---> '''Regina''': How did you and Archie come to be best friends anyway?
6---> '''Mr. Gold''': How couldn’t I? He’s so adorable.
7* Emma trying to parent Henry can sometimes be moving too, from The Shepherd Abridged onwards.
8* Rumplestilskin does care for his son.
9** [[spoiler: And his stepson !]]
10* Snow telling George that she bears Charming's flaws.
11* Emma and Snow White reuniting. Emma and her lalalaing, crossing with SugarWiki/FunnyMoments.
12* Rumplestiltskin's inner monologue : BEST FRIENDS !
13** Okay, just this once. BEST FRIENDS !!
14* Belle's declaration of love. Despite being in front of Hook, she still knows where her heart is.
15* Mulan's concern for Aurora, who finally gets enough credit.
16--->'''Mulan''': She's far too innocent to be in this narrative !
17* Regina proves her love of Henry, at least to the point where she wants to sacrifice herself to gain his. Henry and the author begrudgingly acknowledges that, yes, she did something. But she still wasn't gonna die. And technically, it's all because of Henry's deeds. So this isn't really big deal or anything...
18* Henry/Emma and Snow/Red reuniting.
19* Later, Rumple/Archie reuniting.
20* Rumplestiltskin LoveMartyr DidYouThinkICantFeel speech to Milah in Manhattan. It is awesome and cathartic !
21* Neal's characterization shifting from selfish and manipulative to trying to be a good dad and craing for his father in ''The Miller's Daughter''.
