Okay, another comment cuz I just feel the need to defend Fitz, so sorry lol

Okay, here goes. Fitz is not a (insert super rude word here), and he doesn't deserve to die, or any of the other horrible things that get said about him. If you don't think he's right for Sophie, that's fine, and maybe he's got some issues, but he doesn't deserve to be hated for it.

Sophitz failing wasn't entirely his fault--in fact, the problems were mostly started by Sophie. She ignored all his hails, she never thought about his feelings about it, she didn't want to talk to him about anything, and because of that, problems started. Fitz wasn't even mad about her hanging out with Keefe--he was mad because she'd been ignoring him when he called her several times, and finds that as far as he knows, she doesn't seem to really care. Then his brother thing on top of that, and everything else going on, and he was super stressed and Sophie was ignoring him, and things were kind of a mess, and he really really wanted her to be matchable because he couldn't handle going from one of the most looked-up-to families to being ridiculed every step of their relationship. It's not that he didn't accept her--he accepted her perfectly the way she was. He just couldn't handle being in a relationship with her. He's not a jerk for that, cuz that is an incredibly hard thing to deal with. It just means he's not right for Sophie. He tried as hard as he could in that relationship, he really did.

And when Sophie said she wanted to stay friends, he didn't get mad, or beg for her back. He smiled and respected her decision. He's not a jerk, and he deserves a happy ending just as much as everyone else.

Again, sorry if that offended anybody, I just felt the need to say that. Again, it's fine if you don't ship Sophitz, but don't bash Fitz for it.
