Here's the thing. Also, this is kind of a rec.
I just watched this week's HIMYM for the second time. The secret Robin/Barney ship is so not a secret. There were glances. And physical closeness. And outright seduction on screen, only somehow none of the Trifecta noticed it.
Here's the thing, though. I think maybe Barney is more in love with Robin than Robin is with Barney.
HOW CAN THAT BE?
(Goes back to read over what I just wrote.)
No, none of that's actually a spoiler. No cutting.
I am going to go comfort-read irishmizzy's fantastic Like the border between greece and albania, which is, without a doubt, the most perfect Robin/Barney fic ever written, and I am sorry to say it because almost every Robin/Barney fic I've read is very awesome, so that lets you know how truly awesome it is...
Like, this part:
Her life is never a movie when she needs it to be, though, so Robin dries her hands and walks back to the table silently reciting I am drunk, drunk I am and trying to think of a line that rhymes with “an asshat named Barney.”
which is hysterical, because I have been that drunk in almost exactly that way...
and this part:
The only thing she’s sure of is that when the car stops she has his tie wrapped around her fist and a knee digging into the seat.
which is hot
and this part:
The Treaty of Scherbatsky and Stinson is rather detailed, with sections about secrecy and appropriate MacLaren's behavior and an entire page about what happens in the event of the tears of one T. Mosby.
They make a contract, and it's a real written one, to have secret sex, and there's a contingency clause if Ted finds out and then cries! How fantastic is that? How LIKE the show is that? Go forth and read it and feedback it until she cries for mercy and writes us some more.
