goodmorning, coffee? @redlight95 - Tumblr Blog

His words trailed off. ‘It is as you said. Why should I speak at all, when I cannot speak plainly?’

‘If I said that, I regret it. It is not a thing one should say to a friend. I do not remember it.’

He smiled faintly. ‘If you do not remember it, then neither shall I.’ He reached and took both of my hands in his. His grip was oddly cool. A shiver passed over me at his touch. ‘Would you continue, if I asked it of you? As a friend?’

The word sounded so odd from his lips. He spoke it without mockery, carefully, as if the saying of it aloud could shatter the meaning. His colourless eyes held mine. I found I could not say no. So I nodded.

“And I love you, and all that is a part of you. And do you not return that to me?”

“You know I love you. After all that has been between us, how can you even ask?”

Fitz and the Fool Loved Each Other With No Limits

The Fool is very vocal about how his love for Fitz has no limits and from the way he acts I think no one has any doubts about that. But I just saw a post where someone said they didn’t know if Fitz loves the Fool without limits. Short answer, he does.

Fitz admits that to himself in the books. He admits it 3 TIMES!

“The boundaries between us had melted in the mingling. No limits, I recalled him saying, and suddenly understood. No boundaries between us. Slowly I drew back from him. I straightened my back and looked down at the Fool in my arms.” - Fool’s Fate

This was the first time he grasped what "no limits” meant. Giving all of himself completely for the other because he loves the other that much. That is the kind of love with no limits that they have and Fitz felt it and understood it then. That is what makes the future books more painful - because the Fool left after Fitz finally understanding how much he means to him.

“I pressed his silvered fingers to the side of my throat. I felt it then, an ecstasy that burned but filled me with joy. Then the connection came, just as it had that time in Verity’s tower room. ‘Too much’, I had said then, and fled from it. Now I wrapped it with my awareness. I felt the Fool and saw his sparkling tumble of life and secrets like the stars in a night sky.” - Assassin’s Fate

When Fitz and the Fool mingled in the skill for the first time and Fitz was afraid of it his answer to Fool saying ‘no limits’ was 'it’s too much’. He recalls it in this moment because it’s not too much anymore. In fact, it is the second time he is willing to give up all of himself for the Fool. He reciprocated the Fool’s feelings and it’s so clear here.

'Fool. What were we?’

Lastly, we have this famous scene where Fitz wants to know what was the relationship between them and when the Fool answers that they were friends and prophet and catalyst Fitz refuses to accept that was all they were. He refuses it and says there was always something more! That is when the Fool says 'no limits’ and Fitz accepts that answer and puts it in the Stone Wolf. He refused the 'friends’ and the 'white prophet and catalyst’ explanation, but accepted the 'love with no limits’ answer! Because that is what they have.

Besides that, there are a lot of other evidences in the books that they were in love with each other. Like the jealousy and wanting the other person all to themselves, but knowing that they have no right to think that way. Always saving each others’ asses and taking care of each other. Admiring each others’ appearance and other qualities. Etc.

“I was huddled beneath one of his blankets, fallen over sideways on his bed. He slept, curled like a kitten, his brow nearly touching mine, on the other end of his pallet. His breathing was deep and even, and one long hand was palm up on the blankets between us, as if in offering, or beseeching something of me. Sleepily I reached over and set my hand in his. He did not seem to wake. Strangely, I felt at peace. I closed my eyes and sank down into a deep and dreamless slumber.” - Fool’s Fate

I finished reading Assassin's Quest the other day and while I've been recovering from that ending, I decided to draw out this little scene that I loved. I feel like I'm going to be drawing a lot more of these two in the future.
