  Various materials are made of long thin fibers that are randomly oriented to
form a complex network in which drops of wetting liquid tend to accumulate at
the nodes. The capillary force exerted by the liquid can bend flexible fibers,
which in turn influences the morphology adopted by the liquid. In this paper,
we investigate, the role of the fiber flexibility on the shape of a small
volume of liquid on a pair of crossed flexible fibers, through a model
situation. We characterize the liquid morphologies as we vary the volume of
liquid, the angle between the fibers, and the length of the fibers. The drop
morphologies previously reported for rigid crossed fibers, i.e., a drop, a
column and a mixed morphology, are also observed on flexible crossed fibers
with modified domains of existence. In addition, at small tilting angles
between the fibers, a new behavior is observed: the fibers bend and collapse.
Depending on the volume of liquid, a thin column with or without a drop is
reported on the collapsed fibers. Our study suggests that the fiber flexibility
adds a rich variety of behaviors that may be important for some applications.
