I saw that you were looking for ship arguments! I've heard lots of great ones for Sophitz. ;) My basic argument is:

Fitz and Sophie complement each other and balance each other out. They need each other. Keefe has betrayed Sophie's trust many times in the interest of "protecting" her. Fitz, on the other hand, is constantly bringing her gifts and supporting her and boosting her self-esteem. While it's true that Fitz was angry with Sophie in Exile, he apologized profusely and promised to never do it again. Keefe, on the other hand, clearly will do it again if he feels like he needs to. The dependability of Fitz is what Sophie needs in her crazy life.

Evidence: "You're brilliant and talented and beautiful and—are you crying?"

"Sorry," she said as his thumb brushed away the teras she hadn't been able to blink back in time. "Sorry."

"Don't apologize!"

"Why? I'm being ridiculous. It's just . . . no one's ever said anything like that to me before."

And to have it coming from him...

He brushed another tear away, and she pretty much melted against his hand. "I'm glad I got to be the first to do it," he whispered, leaning close enough for his breath to tickle her damp cheek. "And I'm going to keep doing it until I make you believe me, okay? I mean it.
