History Heartwarming / FireEmblemFates

* Kaze and Saizo's support has Kaze trying to get Saizo to open up to him about their father's death and how he lost his eye. While Saizo is initially unwilling to share, he immediately acknowledges that Kaze is a good brother for caring about him and tells him to drop it. Kaze goes on to challenge him to single combat where, if he wins, Saizo will talk. Saizo points out that he ''won't'' win, so why bother? Kaze tells him he had to try anyway. Saizo does eventually talk because of this, and Kaze ends up apologizing because he feels that he and their entire clan have failed Saizo by allowing him to take this burden alone.

* [[http://pastebin.com/gjPaUR4f Shigure's support chain with his father]]. His father encourages and supports his son's interest in art, offering to open up a tent solely for the point of showing off Shigure's works. During the chain, he also tries to get Shigure to stop stressing out over one particular piece, which Shigure finishes and shows him in the A support: a portrait of his father and Azura together, the people he loves and respects the most in the world. Shigure's father then starts to break down, and hug him in joy..

*** It's even ''better'' given how all Charlotte's life, she was considered inferior by her peers and even harassed day-in and day-out for [[DisproporitonateRetribution "not being feminine enough"]], [[TruthInTelevision an unfortunate fact of how tomboys were dealt with in medieval ages.]] Charlotte ''literally'' had to put up a mask for so long just because she wanted to be liked, and having to live a life of half-truth and lies not only gave her the self-esteem she had in the present (read: none at all), it only ''further'' proved to her people are inherently superficial and only care about what they want to see as opposed to what's actually there. The point at which [[AllLovingHero the Male Avatar]] shows to her that she's better than she thinks she is is ''exactly'' what makes this a poignant moment: how it's okay to just BeYourself in the end, and not have to conform to others' ideas of what they ''want'' you to be.

** Charlotte's supports with the Avatar also deserve a mention: after the Avatar confesses his love for Charlotte, she openly questions [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe why she was chosen of all people, especially after lying to him in an earlier support.]] In what is possibly a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming for the Avatar, he says that everybody has something they'd rather not show to the world, before saying Charlotte's [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre beautiful as she is.]] This literally [[CryCute brings Charlotte to]] ''[[CryCute tears]]'', before Charlotte saying the Avatar's crazy for falling in love with her. His response? That two people - crazy and in love - will never tire of each other. Charlotte's [[SincerityMode thank you]] at the end of the support only cements this S-Support as one of the most heartwarming Avatar S-Ranks in the game.

** Charlotte's supports with the Avatar also deserve a mention: after the Avatar confesses his love for Charlotte, she openly questions [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe why she was chosen of all people, especially after lying to him in an earlier support.]] In what is possibly a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} for the Avatar, he says that everybody has something they'd rather not show to the world, before saying Charlotte's [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre beautiful as she is.]] This literally [[CryCute brings Charlotte to]] ''[[CryCute tears]]'', before Charlotte saying the Avatar's crazy for falling in love with her. His response? That two people - crazy and in love - will never tire of each other. Charlotte's [[SincerityMode thank you]] at the end of the support only cements this S-Support as one of the most heartwarming Avatar S-Ranks in the game.

** Charlotte's support with Xander is also sweet, even before reaching S-Rank. In A-Rank, she goes to him to apologize for her behavior, then spots a Faceless and saves his life. And if one gets them to S-Support levels... Xander confides in her about having practically abandoned all hope of [[TheDutifulSon having a happy life outside his duty, then proposes to her. After that, an overjoyed [[TearsOfJoy and tearful]] Charlotte asks him for permission to shout her happiness to the skies, and once Xander approves she does so.]]

** Heck, ''Revelation'' in its entirety is one big one for them. After being used as pawns in the political game between the two warring nations, they find their own path and unite the two sides to fight the one who caused all the pain in their lives. If they S-support, then, after being lost between being both Hoshido/Nohr royalty, the pair become the new King and Queen of Valla, finally [[EarnYourHappyEnding getting to be happy together and seeing their families at peace.]] Especially heartwarming when compared to [[StarCrossedLovers how [[DisappearsIntoLight things]] [[HeartbrokenBadass end]] for them on the other routes.]]

* Doubles as a TearJerker, but after [[TakingTheBullet throwing herself in front of the shards of the Ganglari blade]] in Chapter 5, Mikoto's first words to the Avatar are asking if they're okay. [[spoiler:This is after the Avatar mentions to Azura that they're struggling to connect with Mikoto because they didn't remember her and didn't really feel anything towards her.]] ''That'' is an example of ultimate dedication to your child.

** Similarly, this being the first time that [[spoiler:the Avatar directly calls Mikoto "Mother"]] is heartwarming in a TearJerker kind of way.

** Despite the massive casualties suffered by both sides in ''Birthright'', [[spoiler:Hoshido wins the war, and begins to help Nohr rebuild. Despite the deaths of the possessed Garon, Xander, Azura and Elise, and despite the negative Nohrian public's opinion on Hoshido, both deceased royal siblings give Corrin their love and support, and Azura's last words is for Corrin and his friends to live happily. Better yet, with Ryoma and Leo crowned king of their respective kingdoms, things are finally beginning to look up for the world ''Fates'' inhabits.]]
** Even though Corrin's quest in ''Conquest'' to peacefully change Nohr from within [[spoiler:goes OffTheRails, it still ends on a positive note because not only is King Xander ready to finally change Nohr for the better, but the dark age of tyranny and injustice that has plagued the nation was finally ''over.'' Even though Ryoma and Takumi died in the conflict, and most of Hoshido's populace despises the Nohrians, with Hinoka as queen, the world is finally set to rebuild and ends on a similar optimistic note as does ''Birthright''. And given the big, fat TraumaCongaLine that was this route, [[EarnYourHappyEnding a happy ending is all but deserved.]]]]
** ''Revelation'' quite possibly takes the cake for heartwarming endings: [[spoiler:with Anankos defeated and Corrin now the ruler of Valla, both Hoshido and Nohr finally bury the hatchet of years of conflict and strife and finally let the continent obtain the peace it yearned for years. With all the love in the world from both families and both the physical and invisible kingdoms set to heal, things are, [[RuleOfThree once more]], looking bright for everyone.]]

* At the start of both ''Birthright'' and ''Conquest's'' Endgames, [[spoiler:the Avatar is mortally wounded by the final boss (Blight Dragon Garon in ''Birthright'', or possessed Takumi in ''Conquest'') and finds themselves in a state between life and death. They are suddenly approached by the spirits of their friends and loved ones who died in that route, who encourage them to survive their wounds and return to the living world in order to finish the fight. After receiving words of encouragement from each of your surviving units, each spirit gives the Avatar some final words of encouragement before they return to the living world.]]
** In ''Birthright'', [[spoiler:Flora tells the Avatar how proud she is of them and promises that she will always be watching over them, Elise reaffirms her love for the Avatar, telling them that she believes in them and asks them to tell Leo and Camilla that she always loved them and that they should stop fighting for her sake, and Xander reaffirms his belief that the Avatar can succeed where he failed and bring peace to both Hoshido and Nohr.]]
** In ''Conquest'', [[spoiler:Ryoma reminds the Avatar of his final words to them, in which he implored them to create a world of peace, and tells them how proud he is of them even though they ultimately ended up on opposite sides of the war. Takumi, meanwhile, apologizes for all the harm his body has done under Anankos' control, passes down Fuujin's power to the Avatar, and states that his only regret is that he was unable to accept them as his sibling.]]
** In both routes, [[spoiler:Lilith appears to the Avatar right before they wake up, reaffirming her belief in them and giving some final words of encouragement before helping them repair the Yato.]]
* How and why Fuga adopted Hayato. [[spoiler:Fuga [[RomanticRunnerUp was deeply in love]] with Hayato's mother, [[CannotSpitItOut but he never told her]] and she ultimately fell in love with another man, who'd be Hayato's father. When Hayato's parents were killed by Faceless, Fuga took an infant Hayato as his own son, raising him as well as he could and into the AdorablyPrecociousChild the audience knows. This man took the son of the woman he loved and love rival as his own, without any second thoughts, and loved the boy unconditionally no matter his origins.]]
* King Sumeragi. [[spoiler:He married a woman who was a single mother, loved her and treated her child like s/he was his own biological kid, and even gave his life to save his adopted child. King Sumeragi may have not been the Avatar's blood-father, but he was everything a real father was. The Avatar still calls and refers to him as their father even after learning the truth in the third path. After defeating him in the third path he tells all of his children the Avatar included how proud he is to see how strong they've grown. He also tells the Avatar that he truly loved Mikoto and wished the time they all had together as a family could have been longer.]]
* Ryoma's relationship with Mikoto. [[spoiler:Despite knowing she wasn't his mother, he always called her his mother and loved her like she was his actual blood mother.]]
** In a similar vein, his S-Support with a female Avatar has him reveal that [[spoiler:he knew all along that the two weren't related by blood, but never intended to tell her or his other siblings]]. What makes this heartwarming is the fact that he still [[spoiler:fights to bring her back home, simply because his father Sumeragi [[LikeaSontoMe loved her as his own child]], and because she was the daughter of his step-mother Mikoto, who raised him and his siblings like her own children]]. It doesn't get pointed out with a male Avatar, but it's likely still the case.
** [[spoiler:Actually, all of the Hoshido siblings loved Mikoto like a real mother, even knowing she wasn't. And at the end of her fight with them and the Avatar in ''Revelation'', while this moment is mostly a TearJerker, [[DyingAsYourself she dies saying how much she loves ALL her children]].]]
*** Special notes should also go to Hinoka and Takumi. [[spoiler:Despite the fact that Hinoka was apparently the slowest of the Hoshidan siblings to warm up to her, she still clearly loves Mikoto in the present, so it's sweet to see the change. Meanwhile, Takumi is the most deeply effected by Mikoto's death, to the point of having nightmares about it in his S-Support with Azura, which can be seen as a PetTheDog moment compared to some of his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerkish]] early behavior]].
* More of a meta example, but the fact that some of the deaths of opposite-route characters can be avoided if you go out of your way to not fight them is definitely one. In particular is if the player manages to avoid fighting [[spoiler:Oboro and Hinata]] in ''Conquest'' Chapter 23, as their deaths are otherwise a major TearJerker, BUT [[VideoGameCaringPotential the game gives you the option to prevent them]], [[SelfImposedChallenge if you really go out of your way.]]
** Another crowning example would be [[spoiler:Arthur and Effie]] in in ''Birthright'''s Chapter 23. Not only can you spare them, you can actually talk to them can convince them to ''fight alongside you'' as [=NPC=] units. Even better, you only have to speak to one of them, and the other will join you, too.
** While, sadly, you can't do anything to save [[spoiler:Xander]] in Chapter 26 of ''Birthright'', you can still [[spoiler:avoid killing Laslow and Peri if you defeat Xander quickly enough with the Avatar in a duel.]]
*** Extra points for [[spoiler:Laslow]] for those who played ''Awakening''. [[spoiler:Being able to spare a character that players knew from the last game is nice, as killing Inigo after everything he's been through in the two games would otherwise be a ''major'' TearJerker]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doxfKMrsKTA three]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhU4EwuEcWQ finale]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPt9A-kdKZw cutscenes]] ''will'' make you feel happy and satisfied. All three are wonderful, but the third one more than the others, what with the ''Fire Emblem'' overture playing in the background and [[spoiler:the route it closes being the GoldenPath.]]

* After defeating him in Chapter 18 of ''Birthright'', the Avatar and Leo have a heart-to-heart. Leo [[spoiler:reveals that all his hatred of the Avatar was just an act. He ''tried'' [[PowerOfHate to muster up enough anger and hate in order to carry out his orders to kill the Avatar]], but he just couldn't do it because he still loved them enough.]] To drive the point further, the first sentence of what he says in text is also an audio line.
-->'''Leo''': [[spoiler:I never hated you. Not... not ever. I was jealous at times, sure. You were always Xander's favorite. And Camilla... she always doted on you so...]]
* During Chapter 10 of ''Birthright'', the party encounters [[spoiler:a possessed]] Takumi, who inadvertently reveals his deepest insecurities and fears that nobody in his family loves or acknowledges him. Have Azura talk to him, and she reassures him of his good qualities, which stuns him into silence. After the battle his other sisters, Hinoka and Sakura, start [[TearsOfJoy crying out of relief]] that he's safe, followed by the Avatar expressing joy at Takumi being okay. Seeing that his family ''does'' love him almost moves Takumi himself to tears, and then he apologizes to Azura and the Avatar for his previous behavior towards them. It's just a very, very sweet set of moments.

** And also during this scene, Flora officially swears fealty to the Avatar, even after all this, which is in contrast to her [[spoiler:suicide in ''Birthright'']].

* The way the Nohrian siblings are quick to embrace Azura after her forced return to Nohr as one of their own is pretty heartwarming. Elise latches onto Azura immediately as a big sister, and Xander, upon rejoining his siblings at the outset of the Hoshidan invasion, welcomes her back and also apologizes for not being a proper brother to her when they were children, something he's always regretted. Despite having told the Avatar back at the beginning of the game that she would not wish to return to Nohr, and the incredibly miserable part of her childhood she spent there, Azura actually seems to be quite looking forward to coming back. Knowing that after the war [[spoiler:and the false King Garon is defeated]], Nohr will actually be a real home to her with a loving family has her quite optimistic. [[spoiler:Of course it becomes one big TearJerker since Azura dies at the end of the route and never gets to experience any of it.]]
* Chapter 18 of ''Conquest''. All of it. [[spoiler:A chapter where you and your Nohrian siblings must protect your Hoshidan siblings. Izana treats you to a feast where the Nohr siblings and the Hoshido siblings all act like one big family for once.]]
** Made even sweeter with ''Revelation'', where [[spoiler:they really do become one big family.]]

* After the battle of Chapter 22 of ''Conquest'', [[spoiler:Sakura is [[BreakTheCutie forced to watch Hoshidan soldiers die after they've been spared before being taken hostage and separated from Yukimura and her retainers]]. In the beginning of the next chapter, the Avatar and Azura are told that Sakura hasn't said anything since then and refuses to eat. However, Azura then reveals that ''Elise'' of all people has been visiting her often to make sure she gets food and blankets. The Avatar is stunned, partially because Elise is comforting a Hoshidan but mostly because Elise had previously acted hostile to Sakura back in Chapter 18. Instead of dwelling on the past, Elise decided on her own accord to wipe the slate clean and start a new relationship with her former enemy. It's heartwarming and ironic that the Nohrian family's youngest child is the first to act mature and take the first step to lessen hostilities between her and her Hoshidan counterpart]].

* When the usual Iago-related shenanigans occur when passing through the Wind Tribe territory to get to Izumo, there's an additional wrinkle not present in the other two routes; due to the Avatar's refusal to side with either Hoshido or Nohr, Fuga is much harsher in his dealings with them, believing them to be an honorless traitor, and is prepared to kill the Avatar outright for their AccidentalMurder of Wind Tribe civilians. The Avatar receives a sudden advocate however, when Rinkah shows up out of nowhere, having been searching for the Avatar since their disappearance, and vouches for them to Fuga, having seen first-hand what sort of person the Avatar really is back in Nohr. Not only does her interceding calm Fuga down and allow them to face a trial by combat instead of outright execution, but Rinkah also agrees to join the Avatar in their quest. She may not be quite the best unit gameplay-wise, but this is easily Rinkah's best moment in all three routes. [[spoiler:It also probably goes a long way to explaining why Fuga can be recruited much later in the route, which can't be done in either ''Birthright'' or ''Conquest''.]]
* [[spoiler:Ryoma's]] attitude in ''Revelation'' Chapter 13. [[spoiler:After interrupting the fight he and Xander were having, the Avatar tries to explain their reasons, only for Xander to leave. You would expect Ryoma's actions to be the same or worse. However, Ryoma stays there willing to listen to you. He eventually joins you three chapters later because, due to complications, the Avatar cannot tell him what is going on, and Ryoma fears that it's because the Avatar doesn't trust him.]]
** The fact that [[spoiler:Ryoma and Xander worked together with calming down their own troops to trust each other and unite to forget all the bad blood between the two countries in the past, is quiet heartwarming. It occurred off-screen but nonetheless, still heartwarming. And for all the former bad-blood between the two eldest, they are willing to put it aside for the sake of the peace. Even more evident when they shake hands once more in the end of the third route.]]

* In ''Revelation'', [[spoiler:Ryoma and Xander ''immediately'' leaping to the Avatar and Azura's defense when Gunter accuses them of being possessed by Anankos (its actually him that's possessed). No sign of hesitation, no second guessing, they ''immediately'' take the Avatar's side because they trust them ''that'' much. This is especially heartwarming for Xander, given how antagonistic he was towards them in the first half of the route.]]
* There's a subtle one at the beginning of Chapter 21 of ''Revelation''. [[spoiler:After Corrin reveals that they left a note behind in case something went wrong with Anthony, Takumi is the first of the royal siblings to arrive on the scene. While the others do show up right after this, it's still nice to see Takumi jump to Corrin's aid that quickly, considering how hostile [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he]] can be towards them sometimes.]]

* At the end of Ophelia's paralogue, father Odin informs her that even though the Super-Ultimate Tome she sought after was not real, he bought her a new tome to name. The name she chose? "Missiletainn", based on an idea for a weapon name she gleaned from Odin's notebook. [[spoiler:...and also the name of Odin's sword from his previous life as [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Owain]].]]

* The Beach Brawl DLC, while really more humorous, does have quite a few sweet moments as well. One stand-out includes if Takumi wins the trip, as he actually wanted to go despite trying to deny it to Oboro and Hinata at first, whom see right through him. His photo even has him look very visibly happy for a change, which is nice to see considering everything he goes through in the main story [[spoiler:especially Conquest]].
* The ''Hidden Truths'' DLC reveals that [[spoiler:Anankos' good side loved Mikoto and the Avatar enough to summon Odin, Selena, and Laslow from Ylisse in an attempt to help them. He also comforts his other child, Lilith, as he dies.]]
** Additionally, [[spoiler:when Good Anankos tells Owain, Inigo and Severa that he can grant them almost any wish in exchange for them siding with him, including things like eternal youth and wealth... at first they ponder bringing their parents BackFromTheDead, and when Good Anankos says that [[AllDeathsFinal it can't be done]], they ask him to mend all the damage he can repair in the Bad Future (including vegetation and flowers) and properly bury the dead there. Good Anankos does so, [[WorldHealingWave returning this dead Ylisse its beauty]]... and, as he does so, he hears the voices of the dead Avatar and the parent characters's souls, thanking him and the three kids for it and promising to always watch over them in their new lives.]]
** It's brief, but after [[spoiler:Anankos turns her hair red [[{{Tsundere}} Severa]] says she liked its original color. [[DaddysGirl Severa always inherits her father's hair color]].]]

** Selena sets up [[ThrowTheDogABone a private tea session]] for Chrom and [[spoiler:her mother]] Cordelia, by asking the former to tell the latter during such a session that she'd surpass her someday. She rationalizes this by stating that [[spoiler:[[StableTimeLoop she knows her mother will still end up with her father anyway]],]] showing some beautiful CharacterDevelopment.
** Also in the same map, Ophelia and Lissa have a funny and heartwarming meeting, with the two of them easily hitting it off with their shared friendly and energetic natures. [[spoiler:And this is even without Ophelia realizing that Lissa is her grandmother.]]
** Laslow also has a really sweet talk with [[spoiler:his potential father]] Chrom. He complements Laslow in his dancing skills, and then Laslow asks him to tell [[spoiler:his mother]] Olivia that she's his inspiration and that he wants her to be happy in his life. When a rather surprised Chrom asks him if he actually will meet a woman like that in the future, Laslow reassures him that he will; he then accepts, and asks Laslow to keep dancing and then return to Ylisse to show him how much he's improved.
** And it ends with [[spoiler:Chrom and Lissa meeting Awakening's Avatar. Complete with a recreation of the Second Meeting cutscene.]]

** [[http://pastebin.com/prFLjWY3 Odin/Shigure]] features Shigure asking for an exam in the ways of [[LargeHam Odin Dark.]] It's just really nice to see someone usually as subdued as Shigure willingly taking part in his father's (and sister's) ways and being just as into it. There's an added bonus of [[spoiler:the end revealing that Shigure inherited the Mark of Naga like Ophelia.]]

--> '''Oboro''': That’s why…To have my feelings reciprocated and to have given birth to such a cute boy like you…I feel truly happy. Thank you, Kiragi.
-->'''Kiragi''': …Yes. I also feel really happy to be the son of you both.

-->'''Rinkah:''' You’re a Fire Tribe member who prizes solitude… but you’re also a Wind Tribe member who values harmony. You’re a child of the Fire and Wind Tribes… even if it’s hard to have people around right now, one day, you’ll surely be able to treasure the time you have with everyone.

-->'''Shura''': A long time ago, Kamui talked to me about the importance of connections, the importance of comrades. Hearing that got me thinking...one man can’t rebuild an entire country alone. For rebuilding, deep bonds between comrades are needed. Deepening bonds with companions is better suited to someone like you than someone like me.

** [[http://fe14festivalofbondstranslations.tumblr.com/post/147519041023/hoshidan-festival-sakura-and-forrest-parent-child Sakura/Forrest]] begins with Sakura worrying over Forrest and Forrest assuring her [[CallBack using a line from her support with Leo]]. Then Forrest explains that he became a Troubadour because he admires and wants to be like her, so he will never run away from a battle. Sakura is visibly touched by this and she calls Forrest "the embodiment of Nohr and Hoshido’s wish to connect" and promises to protect him.

** [[spoiler:Lilith not only survives, but offers to guide Anankos to the afterlife. Anankos, restored to sanity unlike when he's fought in ''Revelation'', thanks Ophelia and Soleil for keeping the promise their fathers made, and disappears, finally finding peaces as he goes on his journey with his daughter.]]
** ''The ending [=CGs=]''. [[spoiler:It features the kids reuniting with their resurrected fathers (mother in male Kana's case). The Kanas are particularly cute, with boy Kana running towards female Avatar with a giant smile, and male Avatar embracing female Kana, who looks to be crying TearsOfJoy. Azura herself can be seen gently watching her son in the restored world.]] Even those who don't like the second generation will find it hard not to melt a little.
** [[spoiler:The four princes (Shiro, Kiragi, Siegbert, Forrest) have extremely heartwarming [=CGs=] with their fathers, too: Xander placing a hand on Siegbert's shoulder, Leo opening his arms as Forrest runs to him, Ryoma hugging Shiro and mussing his hair and Takumi embracing Kiragi as the latter does a flying near-tackle into his arms. Even better, [[http://dekodomo.tumblr.com/post/141709383160/so-theres-a-nice-little-touch-in-the-ephemeral this mirrors the pre-battle dialogue the boys have with their fathers]].]]
** [[spoiler:[[ThePromise "It's good to meet you, Kana."]]]]

** [[http://pastebin.com/HrB1Hfb2 The talks between Yukimura and Sakura]] have Sakura telling Yukimura that she misses the traditional Hoshidan ''dango''. [[spoiler:Yukimura decides to make an Automaton capable of making ''dango'' to cheer her up.]]

*** [[spoiler:[[http://nanigma.tumblr.com/post/141967453942/leotakumi His talk with Leo]]]] involves the two lightly teasing each other over their respective childish enthusiasm, while at the same time working together to ensure that the other can enjoy the festival more. It's a far cry from their initial hostility towards each other, and shows them growing closer as friends.

** [[http://pastebin.com/UnNVuvWp Azura and Elise's supports]] start with Elise trying to make a connection with her long lost stepsister, only for her to get angry at Azura's [[NotGoodWithPeople anti-social behavior]] and [[InnocentlyInsensitive Azura]] accidentally comparing her to Sakura. Their B&A supports have Azura revealing that she had ''always'' wanted to know Elise herself, since she heard she was born but could never have the chance due her being in Hoshido when Elise was growing up. Then, the sisters bond over a kimono that Azura's [[spoiler:aunt and]] ParentalSubstitute [[ParentsKnowTheirChildren Mikoto]] made for Azura so she could give to Elise when things could be peaceful. Overall, the two bonding over the course of ''Conquest'' and ''Revelation'' is very sweet as Azura starts to come to love her younger sister and the other Nohrian royals as family.

* Related to the above, [[spoiler:the supports between the royals on ''Revelation''. It already feels like a great accomplishment, seeing the two sides come to an understanding, but actually seeing them get along well in their supports takes it UpToEleven. Hinoka and Camilla, and Elise and Sakura's support conversations in particular.]]
** It's specially sweet in the case of [[spoiler:Hinoka and Camilla]]. This is because [[spoiler:the tidbits of interaction that had been spotted before made fans wonder if their potential encounters would go into {{cat fight}}s and few more. Here, however, both elder princesses decide to set aside their differences for the sake of teamwork, and then they come to understand each other [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl nevermind their extremely different personalities]].]]
** Similarly, [[spoiler:Takumi and Leo]] discover that they are NotSoDifferent and actually seem to become friends by their A-Support.
** [[spoiler:Sakura and Elise]] bond over their shared love of stringed instruments, and plan to tour across Hoshido and Nohr after the war is over in order to help build peaceful relations between their respective nations.
** The supports between [[spoiler:Xander and Sakura. She specifically seeks him out to speak with in order to help become less shy because she felt that if she could talk to the most intimidating person on the Nohr side, then she could talk to anybody else without problems. Xander completely takes this like a gentleman and reveals that he used to be just as shy as she was before he was able to get over it.]]
** Up until almost the end, [[http://pastebin.com/A0t7TECg the support chain between]] [[spoiler:Takumi and Camilla]] in ''Revelation'' is one hilarious moment after the other. The S talk, however, has her giving him a chance to ''actually'' speak to her, so he gives her a LoveConfession and the promise to become a stronger, more mature man who will make her proud. It visibly moves her.
** The supports between [[spoiler:Ryoma and Elise are one of the only times we get to see the Hoshidan prince relax, such as making ''[[TastesLikeDiabetes flower crowns]]'' with Elise.]] It's exactly as cute as it sounds. The S-support is almost a case of TwiceShy, which is even more adorable [[spoiler:considering it involves a HotBlooded prince and a GenkiGirl.]]
** [[spoiler:Leo and Sakura's]] support chain gradually slips into this, especially in the A and S supports where [[spoiler:Leo]] repeatedly tells [[spoiler:Sakura]] that she's a strong person despite her downplaying her contributions and [[HeroicSelfDeprecation self deprecation]].
* Charlotte's supports with Nyx are unexpectedly cute, specially the A one where [[spoiler:Nyx shows quite the angst because she considers herself a monster, but Charlotte reassures her and says they're still TrueCompanions and friends.]] Charlotte has lots of flaws, yes, but her TheFakeCutie persona [[PetTheDog isn't everything that's there for her.]]

** Charlotte's support with Xander is also sweet, even before reaching S-Rank. In A-Rank, she goes to him to apologize for her behavior, then spots a Faceless and saves his life. And if one gets them to S-Support levels... [[spoiler:Xander confides in her about having practically abandoned all hope of [[TheDutifulSon having a happy life outside his duty]], then proposes to her. After that, an overjoyed [[TearsOfJoy and tearful]] Charlotte asks him for permission to shout her happiness to the skies, and once Xander approves she does so.]]

** Nyx's support with [[spoiler:Hayato]] has him promise to [[spoiler:find a way to break her curse]].

-->'''[[spoiler:Hayato:]]''' Your age doesn't matter. I've come to care for you deeply.
* Leo's support chain with [[spoiler:his son, Forrest. He used to side-eye his son's crossdressing and feels bad for it, and even compliments his skill with clothing in their C support. Then their B and A ranks discuss Forrest's dislike of battle despite wanting to take up his father's tome and make him proud, and Leo understands.]]
** Similarly, both of [[spoiler:Forrest's supports with the Avatar, regardless of gender, have him expressing doubt and sadness over how he gets made fun of [[WholesomeCrossdresser for the way he dresses]], and wondering if he should stop. The Avatar promptly tells him it doesn't matter what he wears, if he loves it, that he's not a freak at all, and not to let other people's cruelty get to him, restoring his happiness.]]
** Leo's wife will also have some pretty heartwarming supports with [[spoiler:their son, Forrest]], that play out fairly similarly to the above-mentioned ones with Corrin. [[spoiler:At first, Forrest is frustrated over seeing some people being cruel in town, and makes some off-hand comments about just staying in so he doesn't have to see that. Except his mother encourages him to keep being kind anyway, ''especially'' at times like that, leading into their A-Rank where she goes into town and hears some people complimenting Forrest for helping an elderly man get home. This seems to restore Forrest's confidence in people, as well as his happiness.]]

* [[http://pastebin.com/qchZaWkc Laslow and Peri's support chain]], where he tries to teach her empathy and succeeds. The A-support, [[spoiler:where he comforts her after she opens up about her mother's death]], and the S-support, where they actively start planning a family, in particular are very sweet.

** The ''Conquest'' support chain is darker but no less sweet, with Azura reassuring the Avatar of their choice when they voice regret over abandoning his Hoshido family, and [[spoiler:protecting him from the assassins after him]]. In their A support they worry their respective sins and betrayals have damned them both, leading to this exchange:
-->'''Azura''': You're not pathetic! You're human—like the rest of us. You care about people! I know you're tired of having blood on your hands. I won't let you do it alone anymore. Now my hands are just as stained as yours. When you can't go on, I'll fight for you.

** Heck, ''Revelation'' in its entirety is one big one for them. [[spoiler:After being used as pawns in the political game between the two warring nations, they find their own path and unite the two sides to fight the one who caused all the pain in their lives. If they S-support, then, after being lost between being both Hoshido/Nohr royalty, the pair become the new King and Queen of Valla, finally [[EarnYourHappyEnding getting to be happy together and seeing their families at peace]].]] Especially heartwarming when compared to [[spoiler:[[StarCrossedLovers how]] [[DisappearsIntoLight things]] [[HeartbrokenBadass end]] for them on the other routes.]]

** To add to the heartwarming, Ryoma and Xander [[spoiler:give land to the new King and Queen (as the old Valla had to be sealed away), so that the Avatar and Azura can start their new kingdom.]]
* Ryoma and Kagero's S-support has Ryoma asking Kagero why she avoided him the other day to which she states that did it because she was harboring unspeakable thoughts about him, she reveals that after talking to a friend she had a LoveEpiphany after said friend told her that she is in love with Ryoma. Kagero offers to quit due her low social status as his retainer only for Ryoma to say this: " W-wait! Who said anything about being a bother? That I couldn’t understand your true feelings is inexcusable. So, from now on… please swear that you won’t say painful things like that. Kagero… I also love you. From now on, we are no longer master and servant, but husband and wife." This especially heartwarming as this friend might have been either Orochi, with whom she has a very cute RomanticTwoGirlFriendship... or [[spoiler:Saizo, who is not only her partner but [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy her ex boyfriend]].]]

** Rhajat's supports with her mother, too. [[spoiler:There has been [[SickEpisode an illness outbreak]] in a nearby town and the villagers think Rhajat caused it with her curses, so her mom is caught between helping the village and believing in her CreepyChild daughter. As it turns out [[DarkMagicalGirl Rhajat]] not only did NOT cause such a mishap, but was actually trying to ''help'' the people with protective spells (though sadly, they were cast a bit too late)... and then she decided to FindTheCure without telling anyone. Rhajat's mom is so moved and proud that she hugs her daughter and cries TearsOfJoy.]]
* Laslow's S-Support with a Female Avatar implies that he wants to [[spoiler:introduce her to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening his parents]].]]

* Getting A-Rank Support with Kaze reveals that [[spoiler:he was present the day the Avatar was kidnapped, but didn't understand what was going on because he was still young]]. He's spent most of his life blaming himself for it, but the Avatar convinces him to forgive himself for it. He laughs and says that you remind him of your mother, [[spoiler:who likewise forgave him for what happened]].
** He also points out that each of the royal family members has two retainers, but he was left out for whatever reason. This might've been especially concerning for him since his brother directly serves crown prince, Ryoma. Mikoto might've done it on purpose so he would become Corrin's someday. Meaning, [[spoiler:she not only forgave him, she trusted him to protect her child even after the kidnapping.]]
** Kaze's S-Support with a female Avatar is really sweet as well. After teasing him a bit about [[spoiler:her own kidnapping and how he believed he failed]], she comments on how she's blessed to have him and how she's been able to see an entirely new side of him. This prompts Kaze to call her cruel, as all these nice comments make him want to tell her things that he believes are best kept private. After she insists, he tells her: He is her servant and protector, so he knows he shouldn't be saying it, but he loves her. He also admits that the intent to serve her was not the only reason why took the vows, and that he feels that a life without her wouldn't be worth it. He then asks if there's any chance, any chance at all that she would love him too, and... the Avatar is so moved by this that she begins ''crying'' before returning his feelings.
** There's also something heartwarming about marrying him. He's spent most of his life feeling guilty over [[spoiler:the kidnapping, and likely wondered if she was even still alive]]. Now he gets to wake up next to her every morning, with no more fear.

* [[http://pastebin.com/gjPaUR4f Shigure's support chain with his father]]. His father encourages and supports his son's interest in art, offering to open up a tent solely for the point of showing off Shigure's works. During the chain, he also tries to get Shigure to stop stressing out over one particular piece, which Shigure finishes and shows him in the A support: [[spoiler:a portrait of his father and Azura together, the people he loves and respects the most in the world. Shigure's father then starts to break down, and hug him in joy.]].

-->'''Takumi''': The reason why I ensured you’d be able to work with clothes… was because I wanted to support the person who would become my future wife, in my own way. So, for the sake of a bright future between us… don’t tell me that you’ll leave my sight. Stay by me the way you’ve always done, and keep helping everyone find the right clothing.

-->'''Takumi''': Just like how I’m the most important person to you, you’re the most important one to me.

* [[http://pastebin.com/Q2T7Zqja Flora and the Female Avatar's support]] gives happiness to a character who [[HeroicSelfDeprecation doesn't]] [[TheUnfavorite get]] [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden to]] [[TheFettered be]] [[GildedCage happy very often]] [[spoiler:[[DrivenToSuicide if at all]]]]

-->'''Azama:''' Please, let me finish. [[LoveConfession I've never said this before—to anyone! I...I love you.]]

* Odin and Laslow's A Support has them [[spoiler:reveal themselves as [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Owain and Inigo]] and reassure each other that even in other worlds they'll always be themselves, and they'll always be friends. HeartwarmingInHindsight too: look at Inigo and Owain's supports in ''Awakening'', then their interactions in ''The Future Past 2'', then this game, and see them develop from VitriolicBestBuds to TrueCompanions.]]
* [[spoiler:The post-game epilogues for Selena, Odin, and Laslow (a.k.a [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Severa, Owain, and Inigo]]) has them disappear after the war, [[ButNowIMustGo presumably to return to their own world.]] However, if Odin or Laslow S-rank the Female Avatar in the ''Revelation'' route, it states that they disappeared like the other endings...Only to suddenly reappear one day, having [[IChooseToStay chosen to stay with their wife]]. And if the Avatar S-supports with them in ''Conquest'', the ending notes indicate they went back to Ylisse with their spouse and children.]]
** This is even more SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}} when it's revealed in ''Hidden Truths 1 & 2'' that [[spoiler:the main reason they traveled to Fates' world in the first place was because they promised Anankos to [[BodyguardCrush protect and serve the Avatar]].]]
** [[spoiler:It's a minor thing, but nearly all of Selena's paired endings mention that she and her husband disappeared after the war, but "they likely lived HappilyEverAfter".]]
* Arthur and [[spoiler:Setsuna]]'s ''Revelation'' [[http://pastebin.com/uKn8JsRp supports]] begin with both of them as {{butt monkey}}s as they try to organize a gathering for the troops, but the A and S talks definitely take a turn to this trope as they decide to help each other with their bad luck streaks [[spoiler:and Arthur mixes it with DeclarationOfProtection when he asks Setsuna to marry him.]]

** Similarly, Azura's A support with Arthur have them discussing Arthur's motivations and how he became the person he is now, finishing with her thanking him for [[spoiler:having protected her from punishment when they were kids]]. The S one has him declaring his love for her through a song, then almost freaking out when she giggles upon hearing him... and ''then'' she gently tells him his proposal was ''amazing'' and accepts to marry him.
* Beruka and Selena's [[http://pastebin.com/KQp8RHC3 A Support]] has the latter wanting the former and Camilla to go accessory shopping with her, mainly because [[spoiler:she wants a memento of her time in Nohr for if she decides to return to Ylisse afterwards.]] When Beruka says she'll quit wearing hers if Selena departs the latter gets confused, until Beruka clarifies that she'll keep it in a safe place until she returns. This moves Selena enough that she starts crying TearsOfJoy. (Which she immediately [[SandInMyEyes denies]], but still pretty heartwarming.)

** Sakura and Subaki's B support has the [[ThePerfectionist latter]] having a major FreakOut over a tiny mistake he made in logistics. In the A support, he tells her ''why'' he reacted as he did: [[spoiler:his parents put a lot of pressure on him to be perfect at everything, so he feels utterly worthless if he makes even the smallest errors.]] Sakura asks him if he remembers the day they met, when he [[CallBack fell off]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments his horse]], and says that it didn't matter to her then that he wasn't perfect, and that it doesn't matter now; the fact that he's ''trying'' is what's important to her. Cue Subaki having an epiphany about [[BeYourself being himself]]. If the player has them S-support, ''she'' proposes to ''him''!

-->'''Laslow''': Milord, I—

* Caeldori and Siegbert’s support is very heartwarming and shows great character development for the latter, as he was at first jealous of how much of a genius Caeldori was, saying that a genius like her should be the leader of the people instead of him. It accidentally hurts Caeldori’s feelings when he blurts out at their B-Support how someone like her could never understand [[HeroicSelfDeprecation his feelings]]. He later apologizes and she completely understands, replying with a speech that is clearly says out a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre message, [[RuleOfEmpathy believing that his ability to understand each person’s suffering is one of his best qualities]], and that she know he’ll definitely be TheGoodKing he always strives to be. Their entire support was very sweet and both individuals are shown to be, despite their insecurities and status in lives, very humble and caring people, who just want to be the best for the sake of others.
** By their S-Support, Siegbert asks if Caeldori already if she already has someone she likes, which she replies she doesn’t (but not without [[{{Adorkable}} stuttering]]). When he does propose, she’s surprised that he chose [[InsecureLoveInterest her]], thinking that he already has someone he loves, which he replies that ''she'' is. The following exchange below comes up next is quite nice.

* The A-Support between Laslow and Soleil. Laslow shows sadness at the thought of [[spoiler:leaving Nohr to go back to Ylisse, and the thought of Soleil possibly not going with him.]] After some silence, Soleil shows that she can be pretty [[WiseBeyondTheirYears Wise Beyond Her Years]] and immediately changes the conversation after sensing that the topic is hard for Laslow, and decides to have tea instead. Also doubles as a TearJerker.
-->'''Soleil''': I'm just happy I got you to laugh again! ... Hey, Dad? I don't know what happened to you in the past... But I DO know how much you love me now. I know one day you'll tell me everything... And one day, [[spoiler:we may even have to part ways]]... But no matter what, I'll always be your daughter. Always. I love you, Dad. I always have, and I always, always will.

* [[spoiler:Odin]] and [[spoiler:Kagero]]'s S-support has [[spoiler:the latter asking permission to paint a picture of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening his family]], because even though they're dead, she still wants to meet them.]]
** [[spoiler:Odin and Kagero's supports as a whole are both funny and heartwarming, mainly because Odin is one of the only people who genuinely admires Kagero's work (the other one being Orochi).]]
* Leo and Niles's entire support chain is full of this, due to their backstory. [[spoiler:Niles was part of a gang of thieves set on robbing Nohr castle, but when they got caught the others left Niles behind as the decoy. This was the last straw for Niles, whose life already sucked due to growing up without parents and struggling to survive, so he was more than ready to let Leo kill him. Leo, however, found Niles's attitude interesting so he hired him as his retainer. Niles tells Leo in their B and A supports how he's always been grateful to him for this, for giving him a home and a purpose and sparing his life, and that he'll go to any lengths he can to repay such kindness. It's even ''more'' heartwarming in the localization, where the A rank ends with Niles calling Leo simply by his name rather than "Lord Leo".]] The kicker? Niles ''hates'' nobles and rich people because he spent his whole life struggling while watching them be spoiled and live in luxury, so he gets off on tormenting them. This in no way applies to Leo, who can be just as standoffish and snooty as your average prince but since he spared the life of a street urchin, Niles knows for sure he's a good person and trusts him with all his heart.
* Shiro's supports with a non-sibling male Kana. The supports revolve around Kana upset about it raining and thus he can't go outside to play, causing Shiro to suggest making 'rain go away figures' in the C support and when that doesn't work out in the B support, convinces him to play in the rain with him. Even better is the fact they're cousins ([[spoiler:albeit step-cousins, but still]]).

* Have Selena battle Robin [[spoiler:and she finds him familiar, but, Selena (really [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Severa]]) realizes he's not quite the Avatar she knew. Then she get's angry with him, outright calling him an imposter, then says she's not about to let Robin call off the battle now that she realizes he's not the person she knew.]] It's heartwarming in a way only Selena can manage.

-->'''Nyx''': That's why I can't let you—or anyone—into my life. I can't burden you with that. And I can't risk your life if my power-mad self returns.

* Despite its [[MemeticMutation notorious]] start, the support between Saizo and Beruka becomes oddly sweet by the end. After confessing the full story of his botched assassination of a Nohr noble (and Beruka's own role in it), the two assassins realize that Hoshido and Nohr are locked in a CycleOfRevenge, and that it must be broken if there is to be peace. They both vow to do their part to ensure the cycle is finally broken. The kicker? It's ''Saizo'' who proposes this, the same man who has ''serious'' trust issues and not long ago was so opposed to the idea of peace that [[spoiler:he was willing to blow himself up, and possibly all of Fort Jinya in the process, just to win a battle against who he considered Nohrians]]. It shows just how far Saizo's come thanks to the Avatar's influence.

--> '''Avatar:''' Wait, THIRD best? Who are numbers one and—?

--> '''Hayato:''' You're right! I am crazy…about YOU.

** Mikoto combing and braiding her daughters' hair while assuring Corrin that even if she wants to return to Nohr, Mikoto will support that and even arrange an escort to make sure she gets there safely. [[spoiler:Doubles as a Tear Jerker if you know [[HarsherInHindsight what happens in the scene immediately after that]], but still]].

** Remember how Corrin's first transformation, and how Azura calmed them down, was described in the Story folder? It's [[UpToEleven a bit different]] in the manga: [[spoiler:here, rather than turning into a full dragon, the effect is similar to when you trigger the Dragon Fang skill in-game - Corrin grows horns, claws, and a tail, but otherwise stays a humanoid shape and size. Why? So Azura can reverse the transformation with a CooldownHug, of course]]!
** During the "route split" scene, it is bucketing down with rain ([[spoiler:which ends up being a plot point later in those chapters]]). When Corrin shows up at the end of chapter 6, she's wearing a heavier rain cloak over her usual one; in chapter 7, she's given it to Azura, and Leo (in the process of trying to talk them into coming back to Nohr with him) takes his coat off and puts it around Corrin's shoulders. [[spoiler:She immediately gives it back, symbolising her refusal to pick a side, but still]].

*** Leo claims not to know much about plant symbolism, but the flowers he initially assigns to Corrin are this too: the first one he thinks of is a dandelion, which in floriography symbolises overcoming hardship; he also considers a lotus (which, in addition to being the emblem of Valla, also symbolises [[ShipTease distance from one's beloved]], [[spoiler:which is sadly prophetic at first since the route ends up being Revelation]]) and a lily of the valley (which symbolises sweetness and trust), before deciding against that because the plant is poisonous. In the end, he settles on edelweiss, which symbolises courage in hanakotoba - same as the peonies Mikoto braids into Corrin's hair in Hoshido.

** Charlotte's supports with the Avatar also deserve a mention: after the Avatar confesses his love for Charlotte, she openly questions [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe why she was chosen of all people, especially after lying to him in an earlier support.]] In what is possibly a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming for the Avatar, he says that everybody has something they'd rather not show to the world, before saying Charlotte's [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre beautiful as she is.]] This literally [[CryCute brings Charlotte to]] ''[[CryCute tears]]'', before Charlotte saying the Avatar's crazy for falling in love with her. His response? That two people - crazy and in love - will never tire of each other. Charlotte's [[SincerityMode thank you]] at the end of the support only cements this S-Support as one of the most heartwarming Avatar S-Ranks in the game.

** Their ''Revelation'' supports have the two of them having a sort of cultural exchange, trying to figure out where to go from here now that they've abandoned both Hoshido and Nohr. When the A support rolls around, Azura brings up how their similar circumstances have brought them together, and refers to them as "reflections on a mirror". Then their S support, after a brief lapse into [[CrowningMomentOfFunny funny]], has the Avatar confessing that that the subject of their conversations didn't really matter to him that much--he just wanted to spend time with her. What follows is very sweet.

** Laslow's entire support chain with a female Corrin is pretty heartwarming. The C & B ranks mostly qualify as CrowningMomentOfFunny, with him being [[ChivalrousPervert typical Laslow]]. Then things take a slightly more serious turn in their A-rank, leading into the above-mentioned proposal, where Laslow is surprisingly sweet and mature throughout it. It ''really'' highlights his CharacterDevelopment well.

** This is even more [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]] when it's revealed in ''Hidden Truths 1 & 2'' that [[spoiler:the main reason they traveled to Fates' world in the first place was because they promised Anankos to [[BodyguardCrush protect and serve the Avatar]].]]

** Sakura and Subaki's B support has the [[ThePerfectionist latter]] having a major FreakOut over a tiny mistake he made in logistics. In the A support, he tells her ''why'' he reacted as he did: [[spoiler:his parents put a lot of pressure on him to be perfect at everything, so he feels utterly worthless if he makes even the smallest errors.]] Sakura asks him if he remembers the day they met, when he [[CallBack fell off]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny his horse]], and says that it didn't matter to her then that he wasn't perfect, and that it doesn't matter now; the fact that he's ''trying'' is what's important to her. Cue Subaki having an epiphany about [[BeYourself being himself]]. If the player has them S-support, ''she'' proposes to ''him''!

* While Benny and Ignatius's supports are also [[CrowningMomentOfFunny kinda funny]], especially their C-Rank, their B & A supports are also heartwarming in the best way that [[SociallyAwkwardHero they]] [[CowardlyLion can manage]]. They end up discussing [[LikeFatherLikeSon how similar they are]], and, while he tries to [[SandInMyEyes brush it off]], Benny cries TearsOfJoy over how Ignatius sees him as a reassurance.

* Xander and Felicia's support is pure cuteness from start to finish. It starts off with Felicia practicing walking while carrying silverware, then [[TheKlutz tripping]] as per usual. Xander comes to her aid, and is so amused by her that he starts [[NotSoStoic laughing]] a little (but not unkindly), and then wishes her luck on her practice as he leaves. The B support is comedic with Felicia getting stuck in her own knitting yarn and Xander helping her out of it. Come A support, Xander watches her practice again, and confides that he loves to watch her work because it helps him forget the [[{{Workaholic}} immense duties]] he has as Crown Prince of Nohr, and that just watching Felicia try to be the best maid she can be puts him at ease. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming To which Felicia responds with an offer to join her practice.]] D'aww.

* Charlotte gives us a subtle one in the third drama CD (that doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny): when she finds out Corrin is royalty and knows Xander and Leo personally, she immediately assumes (half-correctly, to give her credit) that she's a foreign noblewoman staying with the royal family because she's betrothed to one of them, and asks to be introduced to whichever of the princes Corrin doesn't marry. This is heartwarming enough [[VideoGameCaringPotential if the player actually does pair her with one of them]], but the fact that she specifies that she wants to be introduced to the one Corrin ''isn't'' with makes it pretty sweet even if you don't: while Charlotte is willing to do a lot of things to land a rich husband, [[EveryoneHasStandards viewing other women as competition and throwing them under the bus isn't one of them.]]

** [[http://fe14festivalofbondstranslations.tumblr.com/post/148451434468/hoshidan-festival-kaden-and-kanna-parent-child]] Kaden/Kana begins with Kaden barraging Kana with questions about what the latter wants to do or if there's anything he needs. Kana then questions if Kaden is attempting to return a favor to which he obviously says yes to. Kana is unable to recall anything he did that could have needed any repaying, but Kaden simply says that ''one life'' would not even be enough time for him to return the favor of Kana simply being born. Kana, initially taken with surprise, says if anything ''he'' should be the one grateful for having Kaden as a father. After that, Kaden shows Kana a kaleidoscope, [[Callback which he states he showed to Corrin back then and says that Kana's fascination is just like how she reacted when he showed her one.]]

** Even more heartwarming is that Laslow completely accepts his daughter as she is [[note]]then again, Laslow would have to be a massive hypocrite ''not'' to[[/note]]

* Charlotte gives us a subtle one in the third drama CD (that doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny): when she finds out Corrin is royalty and knows Xander and Leo personally, she immediately assumes (half-correctly, to give her credit) that she's a foreign noblewoman staying with the royal family because she's betrothed to one of them, and asks to be introduced to whichever of the princes Corrin doesn't marry. This is heartwarming enough [[VideoGameCaringPotential if the player actually does pair her with one of them]], but the fact that she specifies that she wants to be introduced to the one Corrin ''isn't'' with makes it pretty sweet even if you don't: while Charlotte is willing to do a lot of things to land a rich husband, viewing other women as competition and throwing them under the bus isn't one of them.

-->'''Silas:''' "Yes, tt's an engagement ring. Can you find it in your heart to truly love a Nohrian, as I love you?"

* When the usual Iago-related shenanigans occur when passing through the Wind Tribe territory to get to Izumo, there's an additional wrinkle not present in the other two routes; due to the Avatar's refusal to side with either Hoshido or Nohr, Fuga is much harsher in his dealings with them, believing them to be an honorless traitor, and is prepared to kill the Avatar outright for their AccidentalMurder of Wind Tribe civilians. The Avatar receives a sudden advocate however, when Rinkah shows up out of nowhere, having been searching for the Avatar since their disappearance, and vouches for them to Fuga, having seen first-hand what sort of person the Avatar really is back in Nohr. Not only does her interceding calm Fuga down and allow them to face a trial by combat instead of outright execution, but Rinkah also agrees to join the Avatar in their quest. She may not be quite the best unit gameplay-wise, but this is easily Rinkah's best moment in all three routes. [[spoiler: It also probably goes a long way to explaining why Fuga can be recruited much later in the route, which can't be done in either ''Birthright'' or ''Conquest''.]]

** During the "route split" scene, it is bucketing down with rain ([[spoiler:which ends up being a plot point later in those chapters]]). When Corrin shows up at the end of chapter 6, she's wearing a heavier rain cloak over her usual one; in chapter 7, she's given it to Azura, and Leo (in the process of trying to talk them into coming back to Nohr with him) takes his coat off and puts it around Corrin's shoulders. [[spoiler: She immediately gives it back, symbolising her refusal to pick a side, but still]].

*** Leo claims not to know much about plant symbolism, but the flowers he initially assigns to Corrin are this too: the first one he thinks of is a dandelion, which in floriography symbolises overcoming hardship; he also considers a lotus (which, in addition to being the emblem of Valla, also symbolises [[ShipTease distance from one's beloved]], [[spoiler: which is sadly prophetic at first since the route ends up being Revelation]]) and a lily of the valley (which symbolises sweetness and trust), before deciding against that because the plant is poisonous. In the end, he settles on edelweiss, which symbolises courage in hanakotoba - same as the peonies Mikoto braids into Corrin's hair in Hoshido.

** On the flipside is the mother/son conversation between [[http://fe14festivalofbondstranslations.tumblr.com/post/152710843338/hoshidan-festival-corrin-f-and-dwyer Corrin and Dwyer]]. In addition to being one of the few conversations in which Corrin does not refer back to her support with her husband, it sees Dwyer expressing genuine gratitude for being born to two parents who genuinely love one another in spite of not seeing them for most of his life. It's an unexpectedly touching moment coming from a character who's usually not known for being sentimental.
