Do you have any theories on why Shannon decided to make Keefe capable of reading Sophie’s emotions, especially since she never intended for him to be a prominent character in the beginning?

oo good question, I do have a few speculations on why that could be, the primary one just being because it adds a unique dynamic to their characters.

Keefe may not have been intended to have the importance in the story he does now, but I think he had enough of a purpose that it would be nice for him to have something unique about him. Making him an empath and then saying "oh what if he could read Sophie's emotions through the air?" makes him distinct from the rest of Sophie's friends and from other empaths, while also not needing to be this huge thing. It's not a huge step from being able to read emotions through touch to being able to read them through the air, and from there what that means for them and how it impacts the story can be figured out.

Any empath can read emotions, but Keefe being able to read them through the air is a little "okay so he's not like other girls" moment so we don't completely ignore him. he's not the main character, but it's a heads up that's he's not insignificant. It's like Dex's alchemy, or Biana's appearance (cause she hadn't manifested yet). Those are traits that each character has that are normal things, but have been dialed up to 11. Dex isn't just an alchemist, his father has a shop and he's skilled enough to make his own things and is better than others at it. Biana isn't just pretty, she's one of the most beautiful people among the elves. Keefe isn't just an empath, he can read her emotions without contact. It's not a huge deal, but it's their Thing.

And if we look at it through the lens of the love triangle (though it was being written like more of a square at the time), then it's a trait that makes him more comparable and even with Fitz. Fitz and Sophie are both telepaths and can share that experience, later going on to have a special bond related to it. Keefe being able to read her emotions and understand her that way gives him a special bond with her in a different way. The two of them each have a way of connecting with her no one else does, something that generally signifies a love interest. In order to "properly" compare the two, them having that in common makes the decision more difficult.

Last thought: maybe it's also just for fun! It definitely could be a situation where you're like "haha what if he could do this" and then you just roll with it and see where it takes you and play around with it. Because Keefe being able to read her emotions without contact lets him tease her, lets him ask her questions, and sometimes the questions are plot related! Things about her plans and her motivations and such. And it also raised questions about "what's different about me" for Sophie, because he could read her emotions without touch but no one else's so why is that? At the time they didn't know about her being the way she is, so I think that could be part of it. From there it's grown into a unique relationship and had plot relevance to Gisela's plans, but it might've all started as a "what if?" situation. I add little things like that all the time into the wings au without thinking about them, and then they turn into bigger things, so that could've happened here.

Those are some of my thoughts, at least. Even if his role has gotten a lot bigger, Keefe was still meant to have some presence in the story so I think his empathy being better was His Trait, which evolved into what it is today.

For someone who uses the word "fuck" almost as frequently as the word "the", writing from Matt or Nick's perspective requires a level of self-monitoring in my narration that I haven't encountered since writing my YA novels. I'm not used to writing smut where the main character rarely swears. It's weird.

I’m finally getting my Malcolm/Leandra tarot card from @marhikit​ and they showed me the sketch and I’m weeping ya’ll

Ok let me give my critique
