Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-206.192.255.50-20181019011827/@comment-35927322-20181022223207

Okay! This will be long...

Chemistry isn't top of my concerns. I think all partners should also be very best friends, because relationships based on passion come and go. I feel like Fitz is stable, and stable counts for a lot in my book. Keefe isn't quite like that.

You can love someone with all your heart, but you should also like them. That's just my relationship theory.

AND ON THE KEEFE NEEDS SOPHIE THING...

World stability isn't the same as personal stability. People need good personal relationships, otherwise it's a parasite. I live in a fairly rural area, and some people have it so rough when it comes to other people that it drains their lives away. Stability still counts for a lot, even when you have material wealth. You can buy stuff. You can't buy happiness.

Yes, Keefe has never had another option. (I'm the weirdo who sort of thinks Keefe/Ro would be cute, or Keefe-grows-up-some-and-realizes-some-facts-about-deep-emotional-connections (he's an empath, so he feels everyone else and not himself.))

Fitz could not have another option, however. Wylie and Linh don't get much spotlight, but I feel like Wylinh is happening. If that happens, Fitz and Keefe are on the same page. I think the author will do that, because she's going to make this as painful as possible.

Can I mention that, of all the high school couples I know in reality, few of them stay together for very long? Teenagers, and most young adults, burn fast and hot and then the love dies. That's what I feel like Sokeefe would be like. They could be nice together, but I feel like it would end sooner or later. Sophitz is stable (yes, that word again). They could be a long-term couple, and when it comes to elves, long-term is millenia.
