* Ruby and Tom's growing bond throughout is the single most consistently heartwarming bit in the story.
** Ruby comforts Tom after the latter loses his eye with a hug. It genuinely helps cheer him up.
** Ruby does her best pirate impression, complete with hook hand, to cheer a horribly sick Tom up. Double points as she succeeds!
** At one point after Tom and Ruby reunite, players told Ruby to hug Tom. She did, and "Tom took it a step further" by kissing her! Granted, Ruby was too surprised to return the gesture, which left Tom kinda heartbroken, but it really was a sweet moment nonetheless.
* When Ruby left Stitches the group photo of all of them from before the infection spread/cure was introduced. It was enough to motivate Stitches into saving Tom, thereby preventing his HeroicSacrifice and ensuring a HappyEnding.
* /tg/ deciding they have to SAVE THE EMOBIRD, Jay, even though there wasn't really a reason to do so. The fact that Weaver didn't expect it in the slightest makes it even sweeter.
* The "last" [[note]] written in the last thread of Ruby Quest on /tg/ [[/note]] stanza of The Metal Glen: ''Incense sweet, and cradled warm / Like lovers coddled, arm in arm / Two souls, nomadic, fleeing harm: / That wicked, metal glen. / Now coming morn drives off the curse / Too startled still to dare converse / Both praying they have seen the worst / So ends their tale-- / Amen.''
