Faye's Freudian slip?
NotAwesomeAnymore:
'Boyfling'? Maybe she IS in denial about being tied to someone, but not because she doesn't care. She was also in denial about her vibing with Marten. Don't mean she don't like him, just scared shitless.

But why? What makes them so very right for each other?
(Not a rhetorical question.)
Carl-E:
Some would argue (including myself) that it's simply because they are the closest of friends. Others will say that a good friendship can easily be ruined by turning it into a sexual relationship, and that can often be true, but in a friendship like theirs, the level of trust is well beyond what the usual friendship carries. And that's the kind of friendship that can turn into a relationship that stands the test of time.
I know. I married my best friend. We've just celebrated 25 years of headache, heartache and love last month. We've fought, but we also work hard to make it work. We've broken each other's trust (more than once), and rebuilt it.
Because we can.
DSL:
Carl-E, not sure if you're talking about Faye-Angus (they can certainly bicker like old friends) or Faye-Marten, but I like the way you think. Also, my congratulations and deepest respect to you and your best friend.
Carl-E:
Thanks, DSL. I was actually responding to NotAwesomeAnymore's question as to why Elpha has the opinion that Marten and Faye would be good together. And, while I've always been an Angus fan and a proponent of how good Angus would be for Faye, I can still recognize that no one, not even Angus, can be as good a friend to Faye as Marten has been. To the point that, when freaking out about Angus, Faye turned to him. I think she would have done that even if they hadn't been in the same apartment.
Of course, she would have been wearing pants in that case.
akronnick:
I think Marten and Faye shippers should actually appreciate Angus more because his relationship with Faye makes the possibility of Marten and Faye ending up together more likely.
Think about it, Angus is Faye's first serious relationship since her dad died (not counting Sven because whatever that was, serious it was not.) That means it's a strong possibility that it will end in a flaming nuclear trainwreck. If Marten and Faye are your OTP, do you really want to have to dig Marten's charred (metaphorical) corpse out from under a radioactive locomotive? Having a relationship with Angus now means that Faye will grow emotionally and be more able to involve herself in something down the road if Things don't work out with Angus.
Now.
I am not a Faye/Marten shipper*. I think that ship has sailed. And I do not think that there is any particular reason for Faye and Angus not to last, but most relationships don't. Dan Savage says that all relationships fail until one doesn't. Maybe Faye and Marten would be comfortable together in a relationship, but I kinda see that as somewhat a fall back position for the two of them. The old "If we're not married by the time we're X years old let's marry each other." situation.
The way I see it now, I beleive it's equally likely that Faye will end up with Angus, Marten, Sven, someone who hasn't been seen yet, or no one at all.
*Because that would mean that Marten won't be available when Dora finally straigtens out her issues and comes running back to him. Also, it will be tough to adjust to a QC universe in which pigs fly, Sara has a fleshed out back story and Hannelore gets married and has a boatload of kids.**
**It was hard coming up with three examples of "impossible things that could never happen" because so many things that were previously believed impossible in QC have actually happened***
***Pizza Girl and Raven returning, for example****
**** It's asterisks all the way down...
