* Episode 6: Rider coming up with excuses to prevent Shinji from hitting Sakura and even trying to hit ''him'' as revenge for Sakura, even when [[StockholmSyndrome Sakura insists she doesn't need Rider to protect her]]. When she gets a hold of Caster's Rule Breaker that she dropped at the store, she has Sakura use it on Shinji so that she can be Sakura's Servant in order to better protect her.

--> '''Shirou:''' "Saber, we're having steak for dinner tonight."
--> '''Saber:''' "I love you, Shirou!"

--> '''Saber:''' *mouth full of food* "I love you, Shirou!"

** It's even more heartwarming when, in almost every scene Caster is in has her acting like a dutiful housewife. With the above scene, it culminates even further with the racing episode they're in the newlywed car and they outright throw the race for the Holy Grail and leave because she says that she's already got what she wanted and then in episode 12's final moments where she's petting Len on her lap sitting next to Souichirou, but you'll notice that they're wearing Hawaiian outfits which means they either got their honeymoon or are about to go on it. Either way, you can't help but be happy for them.

*** Doubles as BrickJoke status in episode 9 when Caster and Kuzuki ditch the race to go on their honeymoon and Caster declares, "I already have everything I need!"

* Kirei and Caren almost holding hands in the ending theme may come off as this if you view their relationship as a SnarkToSnarkCombat AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther-type of father-daughter relationship here.

** In the ''Fate'' segment of Episode 3, Illya- despite her methods- getting to enjoy a bit of time simply taking a nap with Shirou.

-->'''Roa''': Nero, you're such a kind person, but nobody can see that...

* Kiritsugu, Irisviel and Illyasviel eating together in the cafe at the end of episode 12. Considering how things end up for them at the end of Fate/Zero, it's a really sweet scene.

* In Episode 4, as Rin has a FreakOut from not knowing how to work the Blu-Ray player to recorder a show for Shirou, Archer calms her down and reminds her that Shirou had already taught her how to make it work because he expected something like this to happen... and then Rin punts him out of the Emiya Household [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot for not saying something sooner]]. Regardless, considering Archer's disdain for Shirou it's one of the few nice things that the Servant has ever said about the boy.

* The post-credits scene in the last episode, where everyone's gathered in and out of the Ahnenerbe for the closing party, [[spoiler: including [[Literature/FateZero Kiritsugu, Irisviel and Illya]] having a family dinner (Illya's contented sigh ''really'' sells it) and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Taiga, Gilgamesh]] and [[Literature/FateZero Iskander]] chugging down beers.]] It almost makes up for the happy endings they could never have in canon.

** And, among the ones celebrating outside, [[spoiler: a smiling [[Literature/AngelNotes V/V]] and [[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia Avenger]]]]. Bet you didn't expect that one!

* It's a small one, but Nrvnqsr Chaos treating a depressed Roa for a drink is pretty sweet by itself.

** Gilgamesh is in such a good mood from seeing Saber in a maid outfit that he happily showers gold and gems to the workers from what is likely a mini Gate of Babylon. This is likely the only time we'll see the King of Heroes being so generous.
