History Heartwarming / Firefly

See [[{{Heartwarming/Serenity}} here]]

* During one of the comic stories, Jayne gives a monk a stack of money and walks away.
--> '''Jayne''': [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Buy some shoes.]]
--> '''Monk''': [[CallBack The Hero of Canton...]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments He's real!]]
* Wash's IndulgentFantasySegue in the second issue of the comic book miniseries ''Better Days'', involving his absolutely adorable hypothetical child with Zoe.
* Zoe's speech at the end of ''Float Out''. On so many levels.
-->(Zoe has taken the bottle of champagne for christening the ''Jetwash'' and gives Tagg another)\\
'''Tagg:''' This is ''un-ga-pae''.\\
'''Zoe:''' Sure is. Cheap Asian liquor. Perfect for a young couple of limited means on a first date. Wash loved it. Just like he loved flying. And his friends. [[spoiler:Just like '''she''' will.]]
** Tagg's story about passing up an opportunity to arrest Wash after seeing him dump a cargo of valuable water purifiers so his friends could get away.
* It took more than ten years, but ''[[ComicBook/SerenityLeavesOnTheWind Leaves on the Wind]]'' finally gives every ''Firefly'' fan what they wanted to see: Mal and Inara ''together''.

* [[TrueCompanions "You're on my crew. Why are we still talking about this?"]]

* The dancing scene was beautiful. For once we got to see River enjoying herself and see her brother see it.
** And after Simon gets kidnapped, there's River, still happy. "Found you!"

* Two years and a few letter campaigns after the show was cancelled, the pan-out from the film's title to the first shot of Serenity itself moving through space from the exact same angle you would admire a bird in flight. Yup, [[ArcWords still flying]].
* As they're about to face down the Reavers, Simon finally tells Kaylee he loves her. Then, after the climactic battle, Simon and Kaylee finally have a moment alone to be together. [[spoiler:Well, [[MemeticMutation Ceiling River is watching them fornicate]], but still]].
* From the climax, just before River [[spoiler:goes to kick Reaver ass]]:
-->'''River''': You've always looked after me. [[NowLetMeCarryYou My turn]].
* The final scene:
-->'''Mal''': But it ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Well I suppose you do, since you already know what I'm about to say.
-->'''River''': I do. But I like to hear you say it.
-->'''Mal''': Love. You can know all the math in the 'Verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off, just as sure as the turnin' of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her home.

** It's further sealed when he asks her not to stay with Atherton and even admits he has no right to say it, but he does because [[AllLoveIsUnrequited he cares about her]].

** She saved the dress.

* The crew making a birthday cake (out of leftover meat) for Simon's birthday at the start of the episode and surprising him with it after dinner. Even Jayne when they wish him a happy birthday.

* Two years and a few letter campaigns after the show was cancelled, the pan-out from the film's title to the first shot of the re-rendered Serenity itself moving through space from the exact same angle you would want to admire a bird in flight. Yup, [[ArcWords: still flying]].

-->'''Sheriff:''' You were truthful back in town; these are tough times. A man can get a job, he might not look too close at what that job is. But a man learns all the details of a situation like ours... well, then he has a choice.

* Jayne, standing outside of the infirmary while Simon's operating on Kaylee, and the fact that he's willing to shoot Book so that he can exact revenge on Dobson for shooting [[WrenchWench Little Kaylee]]. Heck...Jayne is actually full of [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Moments of Heartwarming]].

** Then the CMOH is crossed with a [[CrowningMomentOfFunny CMOF]]:

--> '''Jayne''': [[CrowningMomentofFunny Buy some shoes.]]
--> '''Monk''': [[CallBack The Hero of Canton...]] [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming He's real!]]

* [[TrueCompanions You're on my crew. Why are we still talking about this?]]
** Also from that episode:
-->'''Simon''': Mei-Mei, all I have is right here.
