I do love How I Met Your Mother.... :)
I guess that's obvious, seeing as I posted a gen fic with a smidge of Ted/Barney called Fag Hags Are the Best (Because They Aren't Hags At All).
Another good fic (that I beta'd, whee) is redwinevinegar's Upward Mobility- a The Office/HIMYM crossover that's Robin/Karen.
I'm also working on a Ted/Barney/Robin fic called I'm Gonna Need a Forklift ‘Cause All the Baggage Weighs a Ton.
Excerpt:
“Truth: have you ever been physically attracted to me?” Barney asked and Ted choked on his beer.
Robin, though, threw her head back and laughed. “Aw, does Barney need an ego-boost? Not feeling pretty tonight?” she cooed, voice dripping with pseudo-concern and sympathy. Then she shook her head and downed her latest glass of scotch. “Dare then,” she said, once she’d swallowed.
Even as he struggled to get oxygen back into his lungs, Ted noticed that she neatly avoided even hinting at an actual answer.
“Okay.” Barney had on a look that Ted recognized: it’s the one he wore whenever a woman fell for one of his lines hook, line, and sinker. “Dare: tell me if you’ve ever been physically attracted to me.”
“Foul!” Ted protested, once he could breathe again. His shirt was now damp, smelling strongly of alcohol as it stuck to his skin. He rolled his eyes and tugged at his collar, trying to decide if he should just ditch the shirt entirely as he said, “The cherished and sacrosanct rules of Truth or Dare clearly state that once someone has been asked a question and refused, no one can dare that person to answer.”
Barney made a face in his direction, pouting like Ted had just pulled a Lily and ordered him to stand in the corner of the apartment for a time-out. “Fine. Geez, Ted, this game was supposed to get you to lighten up.” He frowned, obviously trying to think up a dare to top his question.
