Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-74.88.67.251-20180611233000/@comment-35188925-20180612150104

Ugh, where do I start?

In the beginning of finding this series (I found Everblaze first) I shipped Sophie with Fitz, but ultimately went to Team Keefe. My main reasoning from the P.O.V. of a former Team Fitz shipper is that the foundation of their bond is much stronger. Sophie and Fitz have a bond, however, it seems to weaken at the first sight of peril (e.i. Alden's broken mind).

Keefe and Sophie's bond is a bit different. Their bond was one built on mutual survival, while albeit toxic, is very strong, being that it went through a lot of bumps down the road (e.i. Keefe's betrayal by joining the Neverseen).

Sophie's bond with Fitz was more forced than anything. It was built out of duty and then changed to friendship. I'm not saying you can't make a relationship out of that, but even the strongest of houses need a sturdy foundation to stand.

Sophie's bond with Keefe though, was made on pure emotion. A bond created on surviving in a world that was not kind to either of them. We have all, Keefe shipper and Fitz shipper, seen that bond grow into something beautiful.

My other reasoning was I didn't like how Fitz was leading Sophie on in the first 4+ books. He was stringing on her emotions like she was a glorfied fangirl. Albeit, Keefe did it too, but Ro put him straight. Fitz never really stopped. If he liked from the first book (which he didn't. Go reread it if you don't believe me) why mess with her feelings for so long?

~Hope this explains why I'm on Team Foster-Keefe (Sorry, love ranting)~
