Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-37879183-20181231043619

Sophie's relationship will not come down to small trifling reasons. The only way for Shannon Messenger to truly end this is a solid reason for Sophie to end up with one or the other. I'm not talking about Sophie and Fitz both liking each other or Keefe giving Sophie a painting. I'm talking a really solid, concrete answer that leaves no question of who Sophie should end up with. Unfortunately, most of these solutions are drastic and involve the death of one or more characters. I, probably along with most KotLC fans, would prefer that it not come to that. There are a limited number of ways this can end without killing a character. One way that I am particularly partial to is Sophie's biological mother or father being Lady Gisela, Lord Cassius, Alden, or Della. Another way this could end would be any of the three (Fitz, Keefe, or Sophie) becoming Councillors. Alternatively, it could end in betrayal. If Fitz or Keefe joins the Neverseen and betrays the others (We aren't talking Keefe's small betrayal since he didn't do anything really bad) it would solve the issue. Unfortunately, the character would have to be completely and permanently evil for Sophie to give up on him, and the main way they could achieve this would be actually killing another character. Finally, one of them could fall in love with another character. The problem with this is that Fitz's main possible love interest other than Sophie is Linh, and that ship is based on Fitz saying "Wow!" (and Linh and Wylie seem pretty close). As for Keefe, his other main love interest is Biana. This ship is a bit more feasible, as it has actually been confirmed that Biana has (or had) a crush on Keefe.

In conclusion, I am hoping that the next books do not hold death for any of the characters and that Sophie and her friends all will find somebody right for them.

And remember- THEY'RE COGNATES
