Based on what the books seem to lead up to, and based on what we know baout Shannon, and based on clues, and based on what we know makes a good story, what do you guys think of the ships and how they'll actually turn out? I don't want "MY SHIP IS BETTER", I want good, solid reasons- Based on what we know about stories and how they work.This is for wannabe writers, hehe. Any takers?

-SRM So in my opinion Sophie SHOULDN'T be with anyone. Let's start with Fitz shall we?!

Fitz is her crush in the beginning andThey both like each other. But she's always so self-concious around him that it's distracting her from being her FULL potential. That's one of the reasons why the Neverseen are ahead on every step. I know they probably will look cute together but I just don't see how she will be focused in what she's trying to accomplish. So Fitz is a NO.

On to Keefe shall we?!

SOOOooooOo Keefe liked Sophie and he knows Sophie likes Fitz but he will keep on liking sophie no matter what. It will take time for him to let go. They would be a cute couple too but it will also distract her. You guys know how Keefe likes to tease people. Teasing her will distract her. How about in a important mission and in a very serious momment Keefe starts teasing, if he does someone could get SERIOUSLY hurt.

This is why I think Sophie shouldn't be with anyone. Her name is afterall called "Moonlark"! Remeber what that means. Moonlark is basically meaning she's on her OWN. But with guidance from the Black Swan. That's my reason.

I totally agree with you about Sophie, and I love your point about how she’s a Moonlark. I don’t feel like she should be with anybody, because I think the real reason she hasn’t made any progress against the Neverseen is because she’s too caught up in her angsty “who do I love” triangle, and isn’t focusing on the real problem. She’s too busy blushing and having fluttery heartbeats to focus on what needs to be focused on. Even after Tam was taken by the Neverseen and she went to get matched.
