For the sake of auld lang syne

Perfect. This story was lovely and New Years Eve-y and the dip-kiss was just *so* romantic. Perfect. This is what BrOTP is all about.

*soup*

Ohh, thank you! I struggled with it so much, and I'm so glad to know it worked! I really wanted to blend that romance that they sometimes achieve with the friendship that's always there, so it's making me happy that you mentioned both. :D Thanks!

I loved this so much. It is my new theory that Barney really is Batman. He's secretive about his job and rich and classy. (Best crack!fic idea ever, seriously.)

Also, this crossover has killed me. AMAZING. (I bought myself the Sports Night DVDs as a Christmas present, and they're still not here yet. D:) Most amazing idea of all time. I'd love to see Barney babbling to Casey & Dan about how awesome their suits are!

[bredalot]

I KNOW, RIGHT? I remembered that comment about the shoes, and then realized that Barney is basically the real life version of Bruce Wayne. And man, I would love to read that fic. I'd write it myself if I didn't think it would be crap.

Oh, yay! As I said above, that was just an accident, but really, I'm kind of excited about that whole idea. :P (And I hope the DVDs get there soon! That's annoying.)

Thanks so much for your review! :D

Oh, that kiss!

Now I've never watched Sports Night, but I still think you did an incredible job with making Barney act like a bumbling fool in front of them...of course he would be in awe of celebrities in suits!

That was brilliant, every bit of it but then ending just leaves me wanting mooooore! I love you! Happy New Year =D

Re: Oh, that kiss!

[roland44]

I forgot, thanks for the links to Robin's outfit. Its so much nicer to be able to picture the details in my head when I'm reading it, that dress is teh sex! Like you said, classy but hot!

Re: Oh, that kiss!

[bredalot]

Haha, thanks! I think Barney, for all his coolness, has a tendency to get starstruck - I was watching The Limo the other day, and when they think they see Moby, he's all, "Everybody be cool!" with just a hint of panic in his voice. :P

I'm so glad you liked it!

(And yeah, I WANT that dress. In any color. Except, like, orange, because that looks terrible on me. :P Oh, fashion. So pretty, and so unaffordable.)

Re: Oh, that kiss!

[roland44]

Hehe yeah, he gets totally starstruck! I love that episode so very much =) That's where we get our first look at totally depressed Barney without his Get Psyched mix!

[oboeshoes]

Hee! Verreh nice! Great way to start the New Year ^______________^

[bredalot]

Hee, thanks! I'm glad you liked it so much! :D

[bredalot]

Hee, thanks! :D I'm glad you like it!

Oh man, I can totally see Robin as Wonder Woman. I really want to read that crack!fic now. :P (Unfortunately, Batman is one of those characters I can't really ship with anyone, partly because he seems kind of like a loner and partly because I love him too much myself. I blame Christian Bale. He's too ridiculously good-looking.)

Hee! It was a total accident, but I'm actually really excited about the idea now and had fun writing it, as much trouble as I had writing Dan and Casey's dialogue. That would be so much fun to see. Also, yum. (Also, I wrote Sports Night fic two months back. In case you're interested. I don't know how your preferences there run, but it's Casey/Dana, because I don't think there's enough of that.)

Yay! And all it took was two accidental and bizarre crossovers! *laughs back*
