Heartwarming / A Series of Unfortunate Events

• The Baudelaire's developing friendship with the triplets. Especially what implicitly went on between Violet and Quigley in The Slippery Slope (even though, this being the series it is, Snicket barely suggests anything about later).
• From The Grim Grotto: "When you think of me, think of a food that you love very much."
• The Baudelaires meeting their Uncle Monty for the first time after a horrific time living with Count Olaf. He kindly gives them jobs based on their interests, lets them join him on an expedition to Peru, cooks sweets for them, and takes them out to the movies every day. Unfortunately, we know it isn't going to last.
• Violet has only a few minutes to open a locked suitcase in The Reptile Room. Her homemade lockpick snaps in half - only for it to open Stephano's case regardless.
  Narrator: Sometimes, even in the most unfortunate of lives, there will occur a moment or two of good fortune.
• The Incredibly Deadly Viper reuniting with the Baudelaires.
• The implication that at least one and probably all the Baudelaires survived everything in this Trama Conga Line. A line mentions that Violet would return to Briny Beach a third time, which she hasn't done by the last book, so she must have survived. Klaus is said to have laid awake for years wishing he had made a different choice when Uncle Monty dies. Sunny mentions reading her recipes on the radio.
• Lemony's determination to write all the events that happened to the Baudelaires in dedication to his deceased ex-lover is strangely touching. Also the fact he dedicated every book to her, even The Beatrice Letters:
  For Beatrice,
  And
  From Her
  • In The Beatrice Letters, Beatrice (Kit's daughter, not Beatrice Baudelaire) goes on a search to find Lemony Snicket, her uncle, yet can't either due to finding him too late or Snicket hiding from her. In the final chapter, she apologizes for embarrassing him earlier in the story and asks for him to meet her in a restaurant. She also states that he can rip the letter if he doesn't wish to meet her. From the way it's placed in the book, it wasn't ripped.
• The fact that, despite being on opposite sides of the Schism, Frank and Ernest Denoument genuinely seem to get along and run a business together. It seems that, somehow, they managed to put their differences aside - and seemingly keep their third brother, Dewey, hidden from the world, not letting either side know he actually exists.
