Heartwarming / Archipelago

Go To

  • After Credenza falls into the abyss in the underworld, Raven unable to catch her because he has no body of his own and Blitz is out cold.
    Blitz: Raven, can't you hear me? Where's Credenza?
    Raven: She's GONE! Okay?! She's gone and I couldn't do anything to save her! So stop asking me stupid questions or I'll... I'll...
    Blitz: It's okay, Raven, don't worry. We'll find her. I miss her too.
  • And why's he so bent on finding her?
    Raven: Because it's my name she shouted when she fell.
  • Raven comforting Credenza when she breaks down after Dragonfly's death. He's extremely uncomfortable, but tries his best.
    Credenza: What? Raven, when did you-
    Raven: No, no, NO! We are not going to talk about this! It doesn't matter! You're right, I'm not human at all, I'm a spirit! I don't care what you're feeling at the moment. I'm above such things as emotions.
    Credenza sniffs
    Raven: Oh fine, I'd be upset too if I had fluid leaking out of my head.
    wipes her tears
    Credenza: But your sleeves will get dirty!
    Raven''': I'd do anything at this point, just...please, no more tears.
  • All of Raven's cute little moments with her, really. The tiny gifts, the philosophical conversations, the teasing, the head scritches... And when she breaks down crying again because Blitz is Only Mostly Dead but it looks like he won't make it, Raven just sits with her and holds her.
  • A weird, twisted sort of heartwarming in Snowflakes - even Snow has loved ones.
  • Blitz's overjoyed (even for him) reaction to flying on Kroft becomes bittersweet when you find out that he himself was/is a dragon.
  • Spindle's, him of the surly teenage attitude, real feelings towards Clair. Thtupid bwat.
  • Paollo and the guards are pretty much siblings. Their reunion is hugs, hugs and more hugs.
  • Spindle's Big "YES!" when Blitz transforms for the first time is both heartwarming and awesome.
  • Lucinda and Knull's Odd Friendship. Even with her emotions supposedly gone she still seems to have a soft spot for him and is one of the only Ravens to treat him kindly.
    Lucinda: Oh, Knull... Thank you... for never giving up on me. Even when there was nothing left to save.
  • Heartwarming and funny in one neat package, when Blitz wakes up after being turned from death's door and given a new cybernetic eye:
    Blitz: Credenza... why do you look so... depthy?
  • And explaining his near-death experience and meeting Chesska there, who told him to go back, because he's still needed - she'll wait:
    Blitz: I had to come back. The lady who smelled like flowers said so.
  • Credenza and Blitz stating in no uncertain terms they stay with Raven and he stays with them. Come to think of it, his relationships with them both - Credenza's love and his love for her as his path to being a good person; while Blitz becomes his crazy, but beloved, little brother.
  • When Tuff and Riley talk to the Listing of Names, Riley goes for the shaming approach and tries to bully the book into choosing a new Reader - and his brother takes him aside, then explains exactly how Listy must be feeling at the moment. Not only he makes Riley understand, this gets him chosen as the new Reader.
  • The very last words as they dance together:
    Credenza: How long have you been waiting for this?
    Raven: Centuries.
