Sooo.... meant to do this a while back already, but then forgot.... Fitzphie, arguing for Sokeefe: here goes!

'''Sophie and Keefe have a very lighthearted, casual relationship, but a very deep connection. ''' For me, this is the defining point for Sokeefe. Why? Because 'relationship', as I will be using to refer to the interaction or surface relationship, or however you want to call it, and 'connection' combine to make an overall relationship. The overall relationship is, quite simply, the whole point of a ship: if you take away the overall relationship from a couple, there's nothing left! And this combination of a lighthearted relationship and a deep connection... well, it's perfect. Sophie and Keefe trust each other and are there for each other, but, that's not what makes them so good together. Sure, those are great- trust is one of, if not the most important thing and relationship, and trying to be there for each other shows they care about each other and looks promising for a mutually supportive relationship, both of which is very important, but it's the little things that really count, that makes Sophie and Keefe's relationship so special. Take the paintings Keefe gave her in Nightfall. He knew exactly what would make her happy. And I bet you he didn't have to rack his brains about it either. He would have just known. Because he gets Sophie. He knows what makes her happy, what upsets her- not only a large scale, like everyone can figure out easily, he knows about all the little details. The ones that wouldn't interest most people, the ones that most people couldn't figure out if they were, the ones that you only pick up, or notice, when you really care about someone, when you have a true, strong, deep connection with them. It's the same the other way around. No one can understand Keefe better than Sophie. They've kept secrets from each other, sure, but when it comes down to it? The know each other, if not inside out, as close to it as you can get given that they're both quite guarded. Now, I don't about you, but that sounds like a pretty awesome connection to me.
