The actual fucking PROBLEM like the SICKEST PART of every single way Beloved acts and thinks and talks about Fitz from Ship of Magic through the quarrel is that they're doing that because they KNOW Fitz loves them. Because they LOOKED INTO HIS SOUL and SAW and FELT that he loved them the way they loved him. They spent all of AQ flirting with him (bc he was their FIRST CRUSH and CHILDHOOD LOVE btw) and assumed that Fitz was humoring them or pitied them when he claimed to care for them and then SAW WITH THEIR FUCKING EYES that their ROMANTIC AND SEXUAL LOVE for him was RETURNED. And then they KISSED HIM GOODBYE. So when Amber is blushing about her one true love giving her the earring and carving Fitz's face into Paragon and when the Fool is clinging to Fitz "like a woman" and playing domestic in his house for way longer than he intended to and Lord Golden is proudly pinning the flowers he thinks Fitz is making a point of giving him to his FUCKING chest EVERY day and when up to the very first sentences of Fitz picking a fight with him he's asserting that they both know what they are and they both know what they feel for each other and is literally operating on the assumption that those are the exact same thing it is because THEY HAVE SEEN THEIR LOVE FOR FITZ MIRRORED BACK AT THEM IN EQUAL MEASURE THROUGH HIS FUCKING HEART AND SOUL. And they KNOW that it is there. And EVERYTHING THEY HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT HIM for OVER FIFTEEN of SA'S OWN YEARS has been colored by the knowledge that Fitz reciprocates their feelings. AND THEN FITZ INSISTS HE DOESN'T AND THAT THEY'RE IN THE WRONG FOR THINKING HE DOES. OKAY. OKAY

So beautiful 😍 . Papa Qifer with his daughters.

i DON'T need them to kiss i need them to come to the sobering realisation that their souls are merged and no part of them is extricable from the other anymore
