History Heartwarming / ChildOfTheStorm

** In spite of being TrappedInVillainy for a long time because of his looks, Waylon didn't let that deter him from involving himself into helping at a homeless shelter and Alcoholics Anonymous. And he managed to ''earn'' a happy ending by opening an online bakery.

** Harry's mindscape includes several doors. One is labelled 'Secrets', which she steers well clear of despite her curiosity, because it's only right and she implicitly trusts Harry to share any secret that relates to her or Ron. Of course, this becomes HarsherInHindsight, because Harry is keeping massive secrets from both of them.

*** A golden-yellow rose means friendship, joy, and caring, referring back to the idea that if everything fails, their friendship will remain.

* Dumbledore stays by Hermione's bedside throughout the evening and the following day, patiently listens to her lash out, and tells her Wanda's story. While she still has a lot of justified anger, he helps her to begin to see why the secrets were necessary, and she comes to understand her mother a little better.

* Sirius talks to Ron, relating to how he, too, had a best friend, practically a brother, who one day became something completely different, and knowing how hard it is. He compares it to [[Series/DoctorWho regeneration]]--Thor and Harry may look different and act somewhat differently, but they are still the same person at heart.
* Natasha helps counsel Carol, having been in the same situation as both her (loving someone with a truckload of issues who refuses to share them out of fear of exclusion), and Harry, and gives her some advice on how to help him.

* Ron gets furious when he understands Harry knew about Hermione's true parentage and kept mum, feeling his best friend is becoming untrustworthy... but also feeling it's unfair to hide this from Hermione and that she deserves to learn her origins.

* When Strange relates his DarkAndTroubledPast, the first one to react is Diana. By ''hugging'' him. Because he really, really looks like he needs one. Wanda follows it up, and for once Strange wears a true smile, instead of a GrinOfAudacity.

** He also gives Thor a kind of farewell speech, telling his son that Thor and Loki are even better men, and gods, than he could have ever hoped, and that he is proud of them.

* After Ron's wand is broken, Harry assures him that Strange can fix it. And if he can't, he'll have to answer to Harry for it.

* While inside Harry's mental landscape, Hermione gets to meet Lily, who's happy to have the chance to speak with one of her son's friends.

* Harry encourages and praises Clark for his willingness to give [[spoiler: Reynolds]] a second chance, even when [[spoiler: Reynolds]] had shown absolutely no evidence of deserving one and just minutes earlier declared his intention to drain Clark dry. In the process, he makes clear that in his opinion, RousseauWasRight, and despite his own CynicismCatalyst, he believes in the value of idealism (albeit moderated with a little pragmatism) and the PowerOfTrust despite his own fears that he's no longer capable of it. It shows that even despite everything Harry's gone through, he is still TheIdealist at heart.

* In the aftermath of Ginny's kiss with [[spoiler:Diana]], there's a bit of a shake among the Weasleys. Molly is unsure of how to feel about it, but when Great Aunt Muriel starts making unpleasant comments, Molly falls upon the elder woman with all the rage of a MamaBear (the words "[[MythologyGag not my daughter, you bitch!]]" may have been involved).

* Loki's speech on Tony, which considering ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', becomes HeartwarmingHindsight (and a bit heartbreaking, too):

* Loki's speech on Tony:

* Sirius getting to show Harry around the Forbidden Forest is sweet both because it's a nice instance of them bonding--[[PutOnABus which, sadly, hasn't happened for most of the book]]--and because seeing Harry's wide-eyed wonder is a very pleasant change from his recent SeenItAll ShellShockedVeteran nature.

* While, Strange is quite blunt in a talk with Jean and Maddie about their potential power (Phoenix and non-Phoenix) and the threat Surtur could pose through their Phoenix connection/because of their relationship with and connections to Harry, he apologises for not being able to be more gentle. He also makes a point to reassure them that his fears are of what could be done to them, he sees no darkness in either of them. Focusing on Maddie, who naturally has great fears about becoming a monster, he promises that their hearts are gold.

** While of course one would expect people like Harry's close friends and family to be there, even people he doesn't know all that well--Dresden (who's never even exchanged dialogue with Thorson onscreen), T'Challa, Gorakhnath, Nathan, the GeniusLoci of ''Asgard herself'', and many more--join in the group who care for him and want to be there to help.

* Steve, meanwhile, does his best to help Carol, who is quite upset from the combination of what Harry suffered and her own reaction to Harry flinching from her passing resemblance to Belova.

* During his visit to the Kents in the aftermath of the fight with Reynolds, Strange gives Jonathan and Martha two bottles. When asked, Stephen tells them it's an infertility cure, and that he is giving it (and the chance to have more children, siblings for Clark) to them as a gift for being such great, loving parents to Clark. When Jonathan points out that he could have used that as a bribe to get them to take Clark in, he simply replies, [[Literature/WyrdSisters "if you had needed paying, you would not have been worth the price."]]

** He then carefully asks Tony to take Harry to Avengers Mansion, because he can tell Harry is close to crashing again and needs to be with people that can help him get through a PTSD episode, bitterly telling Tony that he did everything in his hand to help Harry but was unable to, because Harry needs to face the problem himself in order to get through. For all the MagnificentBastard act he portrays, it clearly shows that he cares about Harry.
* Harry does his best to help Clark with his girl problems, and calls him cousin. Clark has a nice feeling at being related with someone from his biological family.

* Clark finally accepts his Kryptonian heritage, and uses his powers to [[MythologyGag rescue a crashing plane]], [[RescueRomance including saving Lois Lane and her sister]]. They almost instantly start up on the mutual snarking/flirting seemingly endemic to this fic.
* Harry encourages and praises Clark for his willingness to give [[spoiler: Reynolds]] a second chance. It shows that even despite everything Harry's gone through, he is still TheIdealist at heart.
