#keefitz

[ohmiina]

people who ship bronte and fintan need to stop being afraid and start shipping keefitz. it’s the same ship you are all just to cowardly to admit it. snarky and dark haired with anger issues who upholds elvin society paired with slightly evil blonde with dangerous abilities who’s fundamentally minsunderstood but buries their feelings and doesn’t show it.

Hold on one moment

I've seen a couple people saying how if both Sophie and Fitz died, Keefe would be most devestated over Sophie's death.

No no no.

He would be absolutely broken over Fitz's death. They were best friends for what, five/six/seven years? Then, Keefe betrayed Fitz when he ran off to 'join' the Neverseen. He never got the chance to apologize.

Sophie was only in Keefe's life for like a year/year and a half, maybe two. Fitz was such a bigger part of Keefe's life.

But Keefe never got to apologize. He never got to find out if Fitz hated him, if he would ever be forgiven. Keefe wouldn't ever be able to forgive himself.

In fact, there's a huge chance Keefe's mind would break from the guilt. Who's there to save him? Nobody. Both Sophie and Fitz are gone forever. Forever. Fitz is gone forever. Keefe never gets to apologize.

keefitz should have been the ultimate bromance. or maybe even the ultimate romance. is it not literally golden boy from broken home x troublemaker from equally broken home just in a different way. two kids who deal with impossibily high expectations but cope in drastically different ways finding friendship and comfort in one another. like why did we lose a great relationship dynamic to a stupid love triangle plot ughhh

[electricalcheese]

do you ever sit around and think abt how it's canon fitz and keefe have made jokes about boobries. idk why it makes me happy that they're just being average teenage boys. Or is that just me. No ok bye

[autistic-cat-with-a-book]

what is your favorite (non-canon) (aka not sokeefe) Keefe ship? Could be platonic or romantic

Mine is either Kam or Keefitz but it's so hard to pick aaarrrgggg

Marella and Keefe as friends is chaos and I'm here for it

[myfairkatiecat]

My favorite thing about KOTLC is that all the ship names are literally in-universe, mostly made up by Keefe. That’s where we got Fitzphie, Sophitz, Team Foster-Keefe, Keefoster, Keefex, and Keefitzer, Bianex, Dexphie, Keephie…. They even have a name for SOPHORKLE (NOT as a romantic ship) not to mention all the ones I’m forgetting rn. They just, like, call each other ship names, IN UNIVERSE. I love it

Fitz and Keefe were both tormenters of Dame Alina. Keefe knew what he was doing. Fitz did not.

[synonymroll648]

after fitz cools off a little bit about sophie and keefe being a thing, he should drop tidbits about keefe (mostly during trust exercises) that he thinks she might find helpful since they're dating.

the thing is, instead of just stuff like, 'keefe loves frogs, so he might appreciate a gift or trip related to them, idk' he also drops things like 'btw if you just hold his hand in your hands - specifically towards the back of his head, just behind his ears - while you're talking to him, he'll probably melt haha. also his scalp is sensitive, do with that what you will, but make sure you're gentle'.

bonus points if sophie asks keefe about why every single tidbit fitz gives is correct and he goes tomato red for the first time ever and sputters out something like 'i gave fitz the lord of the snuggles title based on personal experience - he's clingy when he's tired, ok?'

[aspenaspenaspenaspenaspen]

the worst loss of kotlc was Keefe and Fitz’s friendship

no I don’t take criticism

[an-j8]

deep analysis of Fitz and Keefe's relationship ( it’s long) and the stages of how their friendship fall apart ( sorry bad english)

Childhood ( headcanon)

In their childhood, Keefe had a hard time making friends (given the cold environment where he lived), he was not at all popular, never spoke and was very shy. but above all he DID NOT CONFIDENCE IN HIM. (he was also a little harassed by the other children and did not dare to defend himself). The day he met Fitz he took him as his savior, Fitz was the only child who spoke to him and gave him strength. Whenever Keefe lacked the strength and confidence in himself Fitz protected him with his status and popularity.

Before idolizing Alvar, Keefe was OBSESSED with Fitz he had unfailing admiration for him he wanted to be like him while Fitz subconsciously loved to be loved and idolized (vacker syndrome) and also loved deep down the fact that Keefe was always in his shadow

that's why I drew Fitz holding Keefe's hand who was crying as a child ( just here ⬇️)

(many have taken it in a romantic sense because they blush and I don't think it's wrong because the border between friendship and love in childhood is very VERY small)

Fitz was the person Keefe told everything to he was his best friend his example etc.

Foxfire :

The year comes when Keefe skips a grade to land in Fitz's class. he is forced to go look for Sophie and is often absent in class (which is canon in the books) while Keefe is forced to face the others alone.

To remove this reputation as a weird boy who skipped a grade, he will start to make jokes and try to become friends with everyone until he hides his sweet and shy side (which comes out sometimes with Sophie or completely in book 9 where he loses confidence in himself). And every time Fitz comes back he sees Keefe becoming more and more popular and having more and more confidence in himself. (he will be proud of himself)

Just before Sophie comes: keefe has complete confidence in himself, he knows that he pleases and detaches himself a little from Fitz. he still considers him his best friend but his example now becomes Alvar with his somewhat insolent and sarcastic behavior (I remember he cheated on his girlfriends) Keefe thinks he is cool and Alvar becomes his idol

from the moment Sophie comes to the lost cities:

Keefe and Sophie become friends and Keefe inevitably falls in love with her. she becomes his diary, he tells her things he forgets to tell Fitz. Because he ONLY sees Sophie. Keefe begins to realize his family's situation and how lucky Fitz is. Keefe's inferiority complex resurfaces and he can't help but be jealous of him

On Fitz's side, a jealousy creeps in because Keefe moves further and further away from him until he tells Sophie everything and nothing to him.

Keefe joining the neverseen / Keefe and Fitz's friendship breaking apart:

Fitz no longer trusts Keefe. but above all it is important to note that he did not get angry when he learned what Keefe did but cried. Fitz also sees that Sophie still trusts him and perhaps says to himself "if I, who have been his best friend since childhood, can no longer trust him why SHE, who has been a simple friend for 2 years, has telephatic meetings and he still trust? what connection do they have? » Fitz feels like he's being replaced by Sophie, which will be confirmed later in the books. he is not only jealous of the fact that Sophie loves Keefe but also of the fact that Keefe loves Sophie more than him.

Fitz's words :

 “like you found out with your mother?" It's canon that Fitz vents a lot on Keefe. This pushed them away because even if Keefe pretends that it doesn't affect him, it destroys him internally and tires him a lot (especially as an empath)

the painting :

Keefe has returned to the lost cities and their friendship is no longer like it used to be. They act as if nothing happened and time passes

Unbearable jealousy coming from Fitz destroyed his character. he is mean to Keefe because he sees that Sophie prefers him AND that Keefe will always be on Sophie's side. “Of course he’ll always be on your side! Keefe always agrees with you! (he spoke in a harsh tone) it creates a deep loneliness in him.

I don't know if the idea came from him, but he decides to ask Keefe to memorize the memory of him and Sophie under the tree and then paint it. he knows it will hurt him, Fitz needs to hurt Keefe (a kind of silent revenge). He will then continue on this path by trying to kiss Sophie in front of Keefe. This will push them further away

Sophie and Keefe meet Alvar :

it is said that Keefe told Fitz about their meeting before he and Sophie talked about it. given Fitz's mind state after his conversation with Keefe the fact that it was KEEFE who met Alvar instead of him and in addition WITH SOPHIE makes him sick (I didn't develop it but Fitz also felt rejected when he saw that Alvar preferred Keefe to him which is normal)

Sophie and Fitz breakup:

they don't have time to talk because keefe is tortured right after in Loamnore.

Keefe only saving Sophie in his hospital room:

when Keefe gives the order for anesthesia everyone falls to the ground including Fitz. Keefe rushes to Sophie to help her and wake her up. he doesn't even think about Fitz. Fitz wakes up and complains about how bad his head hurts because his skull hit the floor (I have to check) I think it must really upset him that Keefe doesn't care about him so much.

Keefe running away from the lost cities and leaves no words for Fitz :

“And you and Keefe are? even though he ran away leaving everyone behind?! » when Fitz says "everyone" he is mostly referring to himself

“He had good reasons you know…” (Sophie)

"NO I don't know anything!" (fitz)

and that's true. Fitz knows NOTHING about Keefe's life how he feels about things. Keefe NEVER confides in him. he doesn't even tell him what he's doing, where he's going

simply because Fitz and Keefe are NO LONGER friends

Keefe and Fitz plan at the end of Stellarlune :

it is said that Fitz and Keefe communicated together after Keefe stole Sophie's dagger. So Keefe explained to him the plan he had in mind but I don't think they had time to reconcile. I don't think they will ever reconcile, there will always be a gaping hole in their friendship.

conclusion: I think Fitz saw Keefe replace him with Alvar, then with Sophie to the point of no longer existing. As for Keefe, his friendship with Fitz was tiring him psychologically.

[anonymous-kotlc-thoughts]

keefe and fitz discourse? no. keefe and fitz KISScourse. thankyou for coming to my tedtalk

.

[telugu-girl-13]

Y’all Keefitz shippers are actually corrupting me because when I read this earlier, I thought Ro had said “He said he would need more than that” implying that Keefe and Fitz are “more than just friends” and that Sophie was jealous (of who, I don’t know) 😭😭

[rayniscatstatue]

Keefe: Foster has never done anything wrong in her life

Fitz: Never done anything wrong in her life?! She set a building on fire last month!

[camelspit]

i love them and they love eachother
