I came into this thread late damn it, I have PLENTY of strong feelings on the subject.
So lets see how many I can remember to get in.
First point would be about 'Syrocko's' comment on turning for the right girl/boy. Maybe I'm more open minded then most, but I've always believed in the right 'person' regardless of sex. It doesn't matter about what the fool calls 'plumbing' because true love, understanding and companionship is so much deeper. As far as a physical relationship is concerned it doesn't really matter either. (As you can tell I'm a supporter of Fitz/Fool and a Molly hater.. Bias is a glorious thing.)
Despite this I agree with almost everything else 'Syrocko' said. Fitz was content for himself at the end of FF, this is partly because he had if memories back and therefore had his super strong (and youthful) emotions of Molly love thrust ontop of all that had happened since he had given them up. These emotions were strong enough to effectively squash and budding romantic feelings for the Fool he may or may not have had anyway.
Last point. Fitz lack of grieving when he didn't get to say goodbye to the Fool. His initial reactions anticlimactic aspect os because he's with Chade and i believe he didn't want to show Chade yet again how important the Fool was to him. And later it was because he (like me) took the cryptic comment from the Fool's carved gift of "I have never been wise" to heart, and believes he will see the Fool again.
