History Heartwarming / WhatWeDoInTheShadows

* It's a slight OffscreenMomentOfAwesome, but Nick asks the other vampires not to feed on Stu or turn him into a vampire...And they all promise not to! Even Petyr, who doesn't have any spoken dialogue, gives a very understanding nod when Nick explains that Stu is a vegetarian and would never want to hurt someone else just so he could eat.
* The montage of Nick and the vampires getting to know each other is very nice; they do their best to help him adjust to being a vampire and teach about his new situation while trying to make him feel welcome, while he tries to help them adapt to the modern world a little better as thanks.

** When it seems like Stu might have been killed, Deacon consoles Nick. His tact was pretty weak, but it's the thought that counts.

* The face that their shared love for Stu is the reason the vampires and werewolves get along.

!! The Series
[[folder: General]]

* Across all seasons, Lazlo eagerly uses every available opportunity to extol his wife’s virtues with great sincerity.
* Any of Laszlo's pet names for Nadja, including "my darling", "my dear lady wife", and "sweet baby".
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Season One]]
* Nadja turning Jenna and her motivation for it: she doesn't want Jenna to suffer like she did.
** She then goes on to take full responsibility for teaching Jenna about vampiric life, knowing what it’s like to have no one to turn to during such a turbulent time. She acts as a doting (if somewhat patronising) mother and Laszlo, upon seeing his wife’s affection for the child, is quickly convinced to help.
* Guillermo's WhatTheHellHero moment in Episode 4 — and (almost) everything that follows.
** It's minor, but when Simon takes [[ArtifactOfDoom Laszlo's hat]], Nadja comforts Laszlo, in spite of her spending a good part of the episode telling him to get rid of it.
** A retroactive one—at the end of the episode, Nandor tells Guillermo he’s his friend, but finds it embarrassing and hypnotizes Guillermo to forget. Come season 3, it’s revealed Guillermo has been immune to vampire hypnosis for ''years'' and thus likely remembers it.
* Nadja forsaking passionate sex with Gregor in order to rescue Laszlo in Episode 5.
** Nandor turning himself into a dog to rescue Laszlo.
** Nadja calling Guillermo by name—and having respectful, human conversations with him.
* The vampires' reaction to seeing [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Colin]] upon returning from their night out.
--> '''Nadja:''' Colin Robinson, we missed you!
* Colin's TrueCompanions moment in Episode 7.
** [[HeartwarmingInHindsight It gets better]]: Colin was on the Vampiric Council. He could have confirmed Guillermo's CassandraTruth, and his testimony would have probably been quite compelling, moreso than any other witness'. Instead, he keeps quiet, [[PetTheDog allowing Guillermo to be spared]].
* Nadja and Laszlo both try and help Jenna figure out what her vampire talent is.
* Colin and Nandor hugging it out in Episode 12.
* Guillermo referring to Jenna as his "friend" in a confessional segment. To an extent, the subsequent guilt he feels for inadvertently causing Jenna's roommate so much pain is also this.
* In the first episode, Guillermo initially assumes he's going to be turned into a vampire for his familiar anniversary, but instead receives a handmade picture from Nandor. Even though he's disappointed, it's still sweet that Nandor at least went out of his way to make his familiar something to celebrate him.
* Nadja urges her husband not to kill the latest reincarnation of her lover and to let him have a full life for once. Laszlo agrees, although Gregor dies in a freak accident anyway.

[[folder: Season Two]]
* Topher is the first person to find Colin's ramblings interesting, and he willingly offers to let Colin drain some of his energy.
* Near the end of "Ghosts," Nandor finally finds out the UnfinishedBusiness that is keeping his ghost from ascending to the afterlife: being reunited with the spirit of Jahan, his beloved horse.
* Laszlo's reasoning for not killing Sean, despite it being the protocol for somebody with [[ItMakesSenseInContext brain scramblies]] — Laszlo considers Sean his best friend.
** Having it turn out Nadja and Sean's mother-in-law played together when the latter was a child.
* Sean falls in love with his wife all over again, pledging to spend the rest of his life making her happy. And all it took was getting his brain fried..
* In "The Curse", the Mosquito Club manages to blunder into an actual vampire nest and discovers that their enthusiasm is not an adequate substitute for experience. Even though it would make his life much easier if they all died, Guillermo goes back for them and manages to rescue everyone except Derek. Also doubles as a SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
* In "Colin's Promotion", Nandor and Nadja have a falling-out over an unearthed painting that reveals he burnt down her village (albeit two hundred years before she was born). To make Nadja feel better, Laszlo paints over the painting, turning it into an erotic portrait of the two of them, complete with himself on a white horse and Nadja on a hay bale with her breasts out. Turns into a funny moment when it's revealed that he painted Nandor inside a burning house.
* Nandor might have previously attempted to convince Guillermo to let himself get eaten by him because he was too weak to hunt, but when he realizes the full threat the superpowered Colin Robinson actually poses, he begs Guillermo to just leave him behind and run away and save himself.
* In "On the Run", after Laszlo outs himself as a vampire and has to abandon his "Jackie Daytona" persona, he takes a moment to wake up his unconscious friend Lucy (who had apparently developed a crush on him), and to tell her that, while he thought she was a very sweet person, a relationship could never have worked out between them, due to him being both married and a vampire. She faints again right after, but it's still quite sweet.
* Both Laszlo and Jim the Vampire form an affection for the local underdog volleyball team that's genuine enough for them to put their feud aside. Jim even takes over coaching the team when Laszlo returns to New York.
* When Guillermo kills Carol, a monstrous member of Simon's vampire crew, Nandor happens on the scene a moment later. He quickly pieces together what happened, and is shocked; however, his only concern is helping Guillermo cover it up to protect him.
* Nandor is tremendously annoyed by Benji's decrepitude and old man habits, like trying to show him pictures of his grandkids, yet never once is it suggested that he's tempted to kill him. Nandor really does care for his old familiar, even if he no longer wants him around, in the end he even keeps his promise and turns him into a vampire before ditching him a gas station.
* When Guillermo finally has enough with Nandor and leaves him for Celeste, a familiar seemingly turned by her master, Nandor has a moment where he whispers for Celeste to be kind to Guillermo. And later, Nandor finds Guillermo to ask him to come home, admitting Guillermo is a great familiar. When Guillermo finally points out Nandor's poor treatment of him, Nandor promises to give him more respect, a day off and better snacks. As well as gives his absolute word to one day make Guillermo a vampire before flying them back home.
* As if it wasn't clear enough, the season 2 finale writes it in stone: facing certain death from Vladislav the Poker, the housemates (including Colin Robinson) ''still'' refuse to give up Guillermo to the Vampiric Council, with Nandor claiming to have killed him himself and no one telling otherwise. In return, even though the housemates still don't know his full name, Guillermo swings down and massacres ''dozens'' of vampires to save his friends. Before, it seemed like Guillermo's vampire hunting skills would doom the Staten Island vampires; now it seems far more likely he'll join them to defeat the Council.

[[folder: Season Three]]
* Despite the others wanting to execute him, Nandor does not want to kill Guillermo and insists that he was protecting them and wouldn't hurt them.
* Despite knowing that the vampires want to kill him, Guillermo continues to maintain the house for them so that they don't die. He also repeatedly insists that he has no intention of harming any of them.
* It’s a small moment, but as the vampires are entering the council building for the first time, Laszlo holds the door to keep it from hitting Guillermo as it closes. It goes to show how much respect Laszlo actually has for Guillermo.
* In "The Cloak of Duplication", after Colin Robinson and Laszlo both screw up in trying to woo Meg as Nandor, Guillermo decides to try his hand at it, and actually manages to carry on a civilized conversation. Unfortunately, he also gives Meg the impression that Nandor is a closeted gay man, which does not really help Nandor win over Meg (not that it would have, as Meg turns out to be a lesbian.)
* In "Gail", Laszlo and Colin Robinson decide to hang out, as Laszlo is concerned that Colin Robinson's search for his origins is getting him down, while Colin Robinson feels that Laszlo is getting lonely with Nadja being away so often.
* In "The Casino", Nandor insists that the others be nice and respectful to Guillermo. And they all try to be...even if they're not the best at it. Guillermo appreciates it enough that when they all lose their native soil, he undertakes an arduous journey to get new soil for them, even though it means having to travel all the way to London, Antipaxos, and modern Iran.
* Not only does Sean seem to have fully recovered from the brain scramblies, but he and his wife's rekindled romance has led to them renewing their vows.
* Upon learning that his buddy Sean blew all his money in Atlantic City and is afraid that his wife will leave him, Laszlo rallies the other housemates and Guillermo to hatch a scheme to win enough cash to settle Sean's debts. Alas, Sean ends up blowing all the cash a few seconds later, but it's the thought that counts.
* In "The Chamber of Judgement", Nadja actually starts treating Guillermo more like a trusted counselor than just a slave, even allowing him to sit on the throne and pose as part of the Council.
* When Derek from the Mosquito Club turns up undead but in serious trouble with the Council, Guillermo decides to help him escape execution, even though it would have been so much easier to just let the Well of Sunlight takes its course. He also arranges for Derek to become Laszlo's apprentice, which has the side benefit of giving Laszlo a new purpose.
* In "The Escape", it's revealed that the Sire, the ancient MonsterProgenitor of all vampires, is really just lonely and [[IJustWantToBeFree tired of being locked up by the Vampiric Council]]. At the end of the episode, the main characters have made arrangements for the Sire to live with the Baron and the hellhound in Nutley, New Jersey, and it's clear that they're all much happier together (even if the Sire and the Baron [[BlackComedy still lure innocent victims to their home by renting out their house as an Airbnb]]).
* Nandor tells Guillermo that vampirism is a curse and he doesn't want Guillermo to experience it which is why he refuses to turn him into a vampire.
* The reason Laszlo won’t go back to his homeland? He was kicked out of his rich person club—not for sleeping around or even being a vampire, but for marrying Nadja, who was poor. His fury at their classism made him swear to never set foot on English soil again. He’s almost on the verge of tears when telling Nadja this.
* Laszlo opts to stay in Staten Island upon discovering Colin Robinson's baby duplicate, taking it upon himself to care for him. He does leave Nadja to go to England without him (for which he guesses she will be quite upset), but even so, it's an uncharacteristically selfless move for Laszlo.
** He writes a letter explaining his actions to Nadja, he says that he felt that it was acceptable to leave her because she is strong and independent and does not need him, while baby Colin Robinson does.

** The shot of Viago finally approaching her has him raising his hands and floating towards her, and he's obscured from view by part of the building... only to emerge into view again holding a bouquet of flowers for her. She then starts talking about how much fun she's having as a vampire. Considering she was a 96 year old widow in a nursing/retirement home, it's so sweet to see that she was properly romanced and that she's having a great time of things.

* Any time Laszlo refers to Nadja as his "dear lady wife" or "sweet baby".

** Across both seasons, Lazlo eagerly uses every available opportunity to extol his wife’s virtues with great sincerity.
** Nandor might have previously attempted to convince Guillermo to let himself get eaten by him because he was too weak to hunt, but when he realizes the full threat the superpowered Colin Robinson actually poses, he begs Guillermo to just leave him behind and run away and save himself.
