Pony POV Series/Heartwarming

"Rarity: You are sweetie, you're the most wonderful and beautiful thing in the world to me. Because you're not a thing. You're my baby sister. There's only one of you. That makes you more precious than a thousand diamonds. And it makes you more special than a million jewels... Jewels can't tell me how much they love me, and they can't listen when I tell them how much I love them. You're the most important thing in the world to me..."
 * Fluttershy's completely nonjudgemental way of dealing with Fluttercruel. She's scared and upset at first, but then realizes being made by an evil person doesn't make Fluttercruel evil. She promptly agrees to let Fluttercruel stay and promises to help her learn to be a better pony before singing her to sleep. The scene is both awesome and completely adorable at the same time!
 * The audio adaptation adds extra cuteness to the scene. Fluttercruel's mind scape is depicted in the mirror with her, which is a scary, reflected version of Fluttershy's cottage. When she is sung to sleep, she goes to sleep hugging a sheathed sword, which is strangely adorable.
 * Also, consider the version of Fluttercruel from the Bad Future. The only words we gets describing her behavior are "You don't want to know what Fluttercruel does." They're just fine telling us the other deeds Discord has done, but apparently Fluttercruel does things so horrible it can't be said. Compare that to the present Fluttercruel, who, while still a bit of a Jerkass, willingly helps Fluttershy . It's clear Fluttershy really has made her a better person than she would've been otherwise.
 * It's revealed when we finally see things from Fluttercruel's perspective that she
 * When Fluttercruel gains absolute, unrevokable control of their body for a time,
 * This approach pays off further when
 * Rainbow Dash letting Scootaloo stay with her after
 * The audio adaptation makes it even more touching. See the page image above.
 * The mane cast singing the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic theme song in the penultimate episode. Not only is it sweet to have them singing together,
 * In Rarity's Reharmonizing, Rarity cames dangerously close to killing Sweetie Belle accidentally in a fit of rage brought on by her Mind Rape induced phobia of gems and is horrified at how close she came to it. Rarity apologizes to her and tells her she's just ashamed she ever saw a gem as the most beautiful thing in the world. Sweetie Belle asks what is the most beautiful thing in the world to her. This is Rarity's reply:

"Nurse Redheart: If I wasn't here, who would be here for these ponies who had been shuffled aside? Ponyville isn't just a collection of houses, its a family. And it's mine."
 * At the end of Pearl Necklace, Princess Celestia revealing how she plans to handle the fallout:.
 * This is followed by
 * In the revised version of "Pearl Necklace Part 5",
 * Luna's second sidestory reveals a few things about the Flutters that are touching.
 * Nurse Redheart's entire POV chapter is pretty much this. She stays in Ponyville as a nurse because she genuinely cares for the ponies in Ponyville like her own family. She could become a doctor, but doesn't because then Mayor Mare couldn't afford to pay her, all because of how much she cares for the townsponies as well as her younger sister.

"Applebloom: "Ah realized it on Family Appreciation Day. When yah were the first pony to start clappin' for Granny Smith, even though Diamond Tiara was still tryin' to hurt me an' her. That's when Ah noticed somethin' about yer Cutie Mark Ah hadn't ever noticed before. There's that little heart right there in the handle of it. How you've been actin' today and at the festival just proved it to me. There's a lot more to you and yer Cutie Mark than Ah thought…Maybe the same thing's true about Diamond Tiara…Anyway, goodnight, Silver Spoon.""
 * At the end of Silver Spoon's day with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Applebloom affirms Spoon's worth as a pony.

"Cadence: "Dear Aunt Celestia; Zebrafica is lovely this time of year, the diplomatic mission is going well. Thank you for sending Shining Armor to be my bodyguard, it's nice to have a very dear somepony here with me. He's been strangely looking over his shoulder lately but won't tell me why. Do you know? I hear Twilight is staying in Ponyville, that you've given her an assignment studying friendship. To think, that little filly saved the entire world, I'm so proud of her…Twilight studying friendship, are you sure she needs to study it? When I was little, when I didn't have anyone I really connected to except you and my parents…She was the first one I really clicked with. That I really came to think of as my friend. I think she was the one who taught me an important lesson; how it feels to actually form a real friendship…And that's a lesson I use a lot out here on this trips, forming friendships between Equestria and these other places…I owe Twilight a lot… Love, Princess Cadence'.""
 * At the end of the first part of the Mind Games arc, and after an entire chapter of nothing but horrible things happening to her, Diamond Tiara is taken by Fancy Pants and Fleur. The simple fact that this is the ONLY good thing to happen to the poor little filly in months is enough for this troper to place it here.
 * A fan story (though Word of God has stated it is part of the series, just an Alternate Universe like many Applejack has seen) manages to have several despite centering around
 * Another Recursive Fanfiction example.
 * From an officially sanctioned Optional Canon, we get the story of Cadence.

"Shady:"
 * And afterwards we see that Twilight is crying Tears of joy at hearing such warm words, making it even more beautiful.
 * There's also the very touching lullaby Celestia sings to her resurrected little sister, and Luna's tears of joy upon meeting Cadence and realizing that she and Celly aren't alone anymore.
 * Shady: Line of Fate has several, even if it's an Alternate Timeline. A big one being that, but the big one comes later.


 * As an added bonus
 * Mind Games part 5 has a flashback to
 * This chapter also has another Rarity interview, wherein she admits to not thinking she really qualifies as Fluttershy's best friend, only for the Interviewers to empathically assure her that yes she is, reminding her of all she's done to help pull Fluttershy out of her shell.
 * The following chapter has Spike and Silver Spoon bonding while star gazing.
 * Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo comforting each other after a shared nightmare (actually a vision of the Epilogue timeline).
 * The theme song for Reharmonized Ponies, We'll Make It Through. Not only is it just a very uplifting song, there's just something touching about the entire mane cast singing it together, including Trixie and Fluttercruel.
 * Coffee Swirl manages one in his fifth story; calling the three interviewers his friends  and hugging the Earth Pony interviewer because she hadn't gotten one in any of the canon stories.
