Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-43325535-20190729220821

So I've been reading the comments for the past two days and I just finished page 16, thought to come back to the first page and make a comment myself. I'm very new to the fandom, started the series 20 days ago and finished yesterday. I LOVE the series so, so much and love Keefe, Sophie and Sokeefe even more. Oh my god. Can I just say how much Keefe's characterization has blown me away? It's just masterfuly done. He started as this flirtatious prankster in book 1, but even then it was interesting for me that a prankster like him is an Empath. I obviously didn't care much for him back then, and naively rooted a little bit for Sophitz. However, Exile changed everything. Just wow. The way Shannon developed Sokeefe's friendship, their interactions, their effortless understanding of each other, Keefe's heartbreaking backtory and the reveal that his humor is actually a defense mechanism, I can go on and on. I've team Sokeefe all the way since then. The rest of the books just made my love for Keefe and Sokeefe stronger. I'm not joking when I say that Keefe is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. And Sokeefe is probably my all-time favorite ship. In Flashback, I could actually feel how hurt Keefe was whenever he mentioned Fitzphie, noticeably the parts where he asked them to help him trigger memories of him with Lady Gisela and I even teared up. That being said, all the Fitzphie stuff aside, I have no doubt that Sokeefe is endgame and will happen. Sorry this got long! Thanks for reading :)
