Too bad Faye's code is not right hand in, out, in, and shake. Life was so much easier when the Hokey Pokey described it—implied sexual connotations and all.
I blame Shigeru Miyamoto .

In addition, Sven was the one that got back in touch, missing her (acting like a dick at the sledding party, or a 3rd grader, same thing), then wanting to make it better and hang out again - although he messed things up, he was also the one who wanted the relationship to go further than the set boundaries, probably for the first time in his life, and much to his own dismay. Don't forget all that angst about "developing a conscience"!
Also, he's been keeping a pretty low profile since his brief conversation with Wil. Which brings up another dangling thread I'd like to see in the new year; How are Wil and Penelope doing? Sven can be expected to be absent for long periods of time, peddling his songs in Nashville, or wherever; but Wil & Penny are right there, in town, workin' hard...
Remember, folks; cheat codes not only get you bad endings, they spoil the satisfaction of actually surmounting life's challenges and winning!

Sven did NOT "mess" anything up. Faye said she wanted them to be casual and sex-only and yet exclusive (ridiculous), Sven did not agree to that, she said that if he slept with someone, she would leave. OK. As negotiated, it was totally his right to sleep with someone so long as he did not require Faye to stay afterward, and then it was Faye's right to leave. They both exercised their rights.
Sven did not WRONG Faye in sleeping with Gina. He hurt her, but he did not wrong her. Just like if a relationship is no longer working for one person in the couple, it does not put them in the moral WRONG to break up. Although Sven didn't even intentionally choose Gina over Faye, BUT HE COULD HAVE.
In fact if he'd come up to Faye and told her "so yeah, I met this girl, and she is not ashamed to be seen in public with me and isn't trying to maintain exclusivity while withholding any sort of commitment on her end, so I'm gonna go be with her now, bye," I would have cheered him on.

Dear Sir or Madam;
Please respond to what I actually wrote, not what you think I meant. Sven messed up at the sledding party. He was, much to his own surprise, feeling hurt and lashed out at Faye. Mainly because, unexpectedly, he foud that he actually cared for her. He did not mess up the original contract, as you so kindly point out; however, he did mess up any chance of their relationship becoming anyhing more, and keeping her in his life.
They both held up their end of the bargain. And it didn't work out well for either of them. Aparrently a little worse for Sven, he seems to be having a harder time recovering, while Faye seems to be coping better now that it's all over.
Of course, who knows (besides Jeph and the vague amount of arc scripting he has) where it will all be going, but please remember - the physical act of sex and our emotions are horribly intertwined with each other. There's really no such thing as a FWB, and even though a lot of people may want to argue that point, casual sex is unhealthy in more than the STD related way. It messes with the emotional state of both you and your "partner".
Supressing those emotions to keep the FWB facade isn't good, either. You should love your friends. If it goes further, great, but call it what it is - LOVE!!

That is what it's all about!
Thank you for the imagery.
Where'd I leave the mental floss?

Didn't Faye once explicitly state that she did find him attractive?
Edit: Yes. (panel 4)
