History Heartwarming / ElGoonishShive

** [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2017-03-29 And Grace is a wonderful person.]] [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2017-03-31 Who brings out Elliot's Wonderful friend" side that much more.]]

* [[http://egscomics.com/comic/party-017 "Hi, Elliot! I complimented Grace while she was feeling emotional."]] Also counts as a Funny moment since it involves Elliot walking in on Sarah, Tedd and Grace in a pile on the floor, but mostly Heartwarming because in pretty much any other story this would have led to hilarious misunderstandings... but in EGS at this point the characters are close enough, and comfortable enough around each other, that everyone just accepts that Grace just gets tackle-huggy when she's emotional and that this might sometimes leads to people in awkward positions on the floor.

-->'''Liz:''' Yeah, [[your stories are]] weird from a conformist dork view, but if Elliot can't accept you at your ''weirdest'', then he doesn't deserve you. Don't start thinking bad about yourself because of what some guy might think.

* Doubles as a TearJerker. Near the end of Sister II, as [[spoiler:Angel!Nanase]] has Abe in her grip, she makes her tell him what he promised, [[spoiler:but not what he said.]] She reminds him that he [[spoiler:promised to protect innocents]], and, despite being [[spoiler:born of the Dewitchery Diamond, Ellen]] was an innocent. The look on Abe's face as he realizes that he ''can't'' harm Ellen ([[spoiler:especially since he was very reluctant to do so in the first place]]), and his exclamation of relief just pulls at the heartstrings, especially when he [[spoiler:instantly swears not to harm Ellen when told to.]]

* A part of the drama in the story has been of [[spoiler:Nanase]] being afraid to come out, to her family in particular, and the difficulties that this has caused, including insisting that the relationship be kept secret. When her partner's life is in jeopardy, however, she literally risks her life to save said partner; this is not, however, the Heartwarming Moment itself. Later, while she lies in the hospital, recovering from her brush with death, her partner by her side and in tears, and having just being told [[spoiler:that it may be months before she can again use magic, having burnt herself out in defense of the one that she loves]], we have the following exchange between her and her partner:

--> "I love you too, [[spoiler:Ellen]]."
* And then in [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1032 later strip]], when [[spoiler:Nanase]] thinks her mother is okay with her lesbian relationship [[spoiler:... but subverted as it turns out she just doesn't take it seriously, thinking they'll eventually [[SchoolgirlLesbians grow out of it]].]]

-->'''[[spoiler:Nanase]]'s Mother''': Shh... We have all the time in the world to argue.

* The [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1124 second last strip of Hammerchlorians storyline]]: Susan runs up and hugs the [[spoiler: soon-to-be-dead]] Immortal Jerry. [[TearJerker It ends with both of them in tears, as well as any and all who read it.]] Especially since Susan ''really'' HatesBeingTouched.

* The last line in [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1295 this]] comic, which is better in the shy[=/=]ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies context: [[spoiler:"There will be dancing."]]

* Although it's probably going to come back to bite them, Susan [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1441 telling her boss]] [[spoiler:that Elliot knows Cheerleadra]] in order to get him hired is an excellent contrast to her normal [[TheSpock Spock]] behavior.

* When [[spoiler: Ashley and Elliott]] [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1787 get together,]] [[{{Squee}} adorableness ensues.]]
* When Susan discovers [[spoiler: that Tom's friendly overtures towards her were actually part of his attempts to manipulate her into asking him out, she calls him out on it, takes him down a peg and completely obliterates his attempt at justifying his actions]]. After the altercation, Sarah asks her if she's okay. Susan's reaction: [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1796 spontaneous hugging.]]

* Near the end of the "Identity" arc, when Diane receives Susan's thank-you message and realizes: [[spoiler: "This is from my sister."]] Her expression in the [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1817 last panel]] combined with the realisation is what really sells it.

* [[spoiler: [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1910 Pandora gave Tedd a magic mark, apparently.]] Granted, it was without any permission similar to Dex, but why did she do it? Because it was "nice" and he's her grand god-son.]]
** This is taken to the next level a few arcs later, as [[spoiler: she's undergone a HeelRealization, but realized that Tedd ''is'' a wizard, [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2297 just a very specialized one who can't cast spells]], vowing to find out precisely what he is.]]

** As an extension, Pandora offering to help Sarah [[spoiler:awaken]] because "I like her."

* [[spoiler: Susan and Diane start out their meeting actually getting along pretty well]].
* TheReveal that [[spoiler: Pandora will indeed [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2458 retain most of her memories and emotional connections post-reset]].]]

* [[spoiler: While Magus/alt!Ellen's reasoning about our Ellen's feelings about being female is wrong, it's clear that he genuinely believes she needs his help and he's going to make sure she gets it. It's also clear that he adores Terra, alt!Tedd who is a cis female battle mage against societal norms, and is heartbroken that her dream is out of her grasp.]]
* [[spoiler: The TalkingWeapon wand coming to Ashley's aid]].
* [[spoiler: Arthur feeling responsible for his creation, Kevin, and letting him stay with Ashley]].
* In the aftermath, Noah has a FreudianSlip and [[spoiler: calls Raven "dad" - Raven, now sporting a BeardOfSorrow, [[HappilyAdopted immediately embraces Noah and calls him "son"]].]]

* [[spoiler: Diane realizes not only that Lucy has feelings for her, but that she returns those feelings as well.]]

* [[spoiler: One of Pandora's last acts before her reset was to give Sam a magic mark that allows him to match his internal and external selves and go back to normal, as well as a note explaining the ability and how it might get harder soon]].

'''Susan:''' You're not alone, Justin.
'''Justin:''' Huh?
'''Susan:''' You have Nanase, Ellen, Tedd, Grace, Sarah, me, and even Elliot. You haven't known all of us for very long, but we're all your friends. Being single is not the same as being alone. It may suck that you can't be romantic with the one you love, but you have people who care about you, and they like you for who you are.

** [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=785 This page (where Susan runs into Justin in the basement) deserves a special mention]]. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Susan.

'''Justin:''' Huh?\\

* Susan's [[{{Moe}} adorable]] face when she is [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1545 explaining why she loves]] ''Franchise/StarTrek''. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny when she realizes that the [[IsThisThingStillOn review is still going]].

* Rhoda's joining the trio: she was Diane's history tutor, and Diane wanted to help get her out of her shell a bit and get used to the attention boys were giving her and learn to deal with them.

* Diane planning to adopt at least two kids when she grows up, obviously wanting to help them like her parents did when they adopted her.

* One girl conforting her friend, who was worried that she wouldn't like her anymore when she learned that she wasn't a virgin.
