Heartwarming / Better Living Through Science and Ponies

---

• Chell realizing that she is finally free.
• Chell's reaction once she sees what life is like in Equestria. After all the crap she went through in both Portal games, she definitely deserves to live in such a (normally) happy and carefree place like that.
  It was a long night, but the whole time Chell was smiling... smiling so much that her jaw started to hurt. A smile she continued to wear despite the soreness in her cheeks. Chell couldn't stop herself; for the first time she had so much to smile about.
  • Relatedly, the friendship that develops between Chell and Ditzy Doo. In this story (written before "The Last Roundup"), Ditzy/Derpy suffers from a form of Aphasia that causes her to mix up words when speaking. Between that and Chell's muteness, they quickly develop a rapport that overshadows their difficulties communicating with other ponies.
• When a fan wrote a side story involving Celestia and GLaDOS, the writers recut the story to make it canon with the rest of the fic. That's some true Brony collaboration right there.
• In a twisted sort of way, GLaDOS making a note to rebuild Atlas and P-Body after they save her from the destruction of Aperture.
• Princess Luna's reward to Chell at the end of an enchanted necklace that allows her to project her thoughts as speech - finally giving her a chance to speak her mind, as Luna puts it.
