History Heartwarming / RobbReturns

** On the same note, Maester Luwin and Cateyln theorize that Selyse's trouble conceiving may actually have been environmental, due to the vapors around Dragonstone, and quickly set to work making sure she can stay in the North for the duration of her newest pregnancy. Another, more worrying, thought is poison, to which Catelyn orders Selyse's food all be carefully checked before being given to her. They both really want to help the poor woman have another child like she wants.

** He then makes a test to ascertain whether Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen are his children or not, using Stormbreaker and in a way that does not embarrass nor make it obvious. The result only makes him feel disappointed.
* When discussing the current succession line (Stannis-Shireen-Renly) Robert firmly states that Shireen is cleverer, braver and kinder than Joffrey, but he worries because she will still be looked at as weak to lead Westeros, especially in the face of the coming crisis.

* Hearing about the wildfire plot does nothing for Daenerys' self-esteem, only for Varys to remind her she's not at fault for her father's madness, she wasn't even ''born''.

* Tyrion proposing to Dacey Surestone, and her accepting.

** Also in Chapter 82 the reveal that since Robb went back in time and thus prevented Bran from falling (and thus may also have delayed or stopped him from having to go to the Three Eyed Raven) Bran never went back to the past... and thus Hodor is still Walder, a large stable hand who never became a simpleton.

* After hearing of the twins' actions and Tyrion's bravery, Tywin is forced to acknowledge that Tyrion is his true son and heir worthy of the Lannister name. It clearly hurts him to do so but still amazing for him to recognize the man he considered the shame of the family is a true and noble son.

* Myrcella makes only one request of Tywin when they meet: That he be kind to her. He agrees, and makes it clear to Cersei that he will honour that promise.

* Robert apologizing for being a poor brother to Stannis and Renly, [[spoiler: naming Stannis his new Hand]], and asking the three of them to stay united.

* [[spoiler: A moment that is both Heartwarming and a TearJerker: Patchface commits suicide after telling Maester Cresson to tell Shireen to search for the Godswood on Dragonstone, then thanking him for saving his life when everyone else said to just let him die. He mentions "a life for a life", then jumps to his death. Flash-forward to Shireen finding the godswood, and the Old Gods specifically mention that they are healing her grayscale because a deal was made, and Patchface gave his life for hers]].
* [[spoiler:In Chapter 77, Shireen welcomes Gendry as her cousin, regardless of what Lady Selyse might think, and thanks to him finding the godswood on Dragonstone, her grayscale is healed completely. She is not the first or last to welcome him into the Baratheon family, either. Robert learns who Gendry is, and does what he can to help him, gifting him with a warhammer of his and offering to train him. Even Stannis offers to help train his newfound nephew, and Selyse is slowly thawing to him as well.]]

* [[spoiler: Robert personally standing guard outside Jon Arryn's door while he is in a coma, so that Quill can get a new set of guards to replace him and get some rest]].
** [[spoiler:What helps Jon Arryn finally awake from his coma? Remembering that his son needs him. One specific part is him hearing Robert talking about a message from Winterfell mentioning that his son was learning to ride a horse, something he was worried would never happen because Lysa would never allow it, despite the fact that, as the future Defender of the Vale of Arryn, his son would have to be able to ride in order to lead the knights of the Vale into battle]].
* [[spoiler:Maester Aemon has his eyesight restored to him in Chapter 93.]]

* When Eddard reveals to Catelyn that [[spoiler: Edric Dayne is his son]] - which he just found out - while Catelyn is unhappy, it is obvious [[CharacterDevelopment she has changed for the better]], blaming neither Ned nor [[spoiler: Edric]] for the event. Ned reassures his wife that she is the only one in his heart.

* Ned finds Robert in front of Lyanna's tomb, and after they talk about the latter's behavior as king, Robert shows Ned a present he had wanted to give to Lyanna for their wedding: a medallion of a direwolf and a stag - and an etching of a laughing weirwood. Robert then reveals that he had realized Lyanna was the Knight of the Laughing Tree from Harrenhal, and he had wished to tell her he was proud of her, because she did the right thing then and there.

* [[ItsAllMyFault Ser Barristan blames himself for not being more observant with Cersei and Jaime, but Robert takes the blame]], reflecting that he should've given a bigger damn to the appointments to the Kingsguard instead of dumbly listening to Cersei.
