Is it ok if I counter that Roses? I like countering things. Thanks! I hope none of this offends anyone; I am merely countering.

1. Fitz found Sophie, which autmoatically gave them a bond. '''Yes, he found her, but what about three days later, at Foxfire? Sure, you could argue that she didn't sit with Fitz at lunch because of Biana glaring at her, but Fitz never came up to her and talked to her about it--sure, at the end he did, partially because of the "Alden and Biana" thing, but he ultimately left her, which led to Jensi and Marella and Dex being more meaningful friends in that book.'''

2. Flashback was amazing with all the Sophitz-ness. '''Meh. More like all that Sophitz-mess. Honestly, yes, they had some meaningful experiences, but all could be possibly cancelled out by the cliffhanger. And while some may argue that there's only "speculation" about bad coming from the cliffhanger, that's all a relationship needs to go awry--speculation.'''

3. Fitz says he'll get her crush cuffs, implying that he'd do anything to make her happy. '''Read below. Yes, it's implying he'd to anything SIMILAR to make her happy, but much past that? It's questionable. To be a bad match, you have to be willing to sacrifice. Remember Kesler and Juline, Brant and Jolie? They would literally do ANYTHING for each other. They would DIE for each other. And while Sophie would do that for Fitz (excuse me, Fitz's appearance plus some other scattered traits), Fitz might not do it for Sophie.'''

4. He says he'll wait until she's ready for this relationship for real. '''Yes, he's willing to wait, but...that's about it. Is he willing to be a bad match? Possibly...? That's the reason quite a lot of Sophitz shippers were worried about the cliffhanger--Fitz might not accept her. He's not willing to face scorn and leave his own perfect-ness for her.'''

5. He's the first person to call her beautiful and amazing. '''Actually, fourth. Let's count this:'''

1. Dex (Book 1) Accidentally of course, but he still does.

2. Edaline (Book 2) Sure she's her mom, but she still counts.

'''3. Keefe (Book....3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) Teases her about being amazing and "cute when she's worried" but later tells her that she's ALWAYS serious, especially when she thinks she's kidding. It's just his way of being "subtle".'''

6. He constantly comforts her.'''  You know. For half the time. Then he lashes out at her for being a separate person, having an opinion, messing up at something...all that good stuff. Oh, then he apologizes, which Sophie does AUTOMATICALLY, because she finds his face alluring.'''
