Aww! I loves the Barney/Ted

This was so cute

Thank you, I'm glad you liked :)

Lol. OMG, I love this. And even though I'm sort of enamored of Barney/Robin, this totally works for me.

Favorite bits:

"This is the fabric Jason should have made his golden fleece from, the material the Shroud of Turin would be lucky to be made from."

Ted curses him and his freakish unearned athleticism. (love the reference to Lucky Penny)

“What’s in Staten Island?” “Two guys in awesome suits. What up?”

Hahahahah. Oh, and also the ending, so pretty much everything :)

:) I like Barney/Robin fine when it's on the show, but Ted/Barney is my show OTP...

love the reference to Lucky Penny
*g* It wouldn't be HIMYM without continuity jokes! Though I'm lacking in more recent ones, what with the BBC not showing S3 :(

Anyhow, I'm glad you enjoyed!

“Nothing. I just always suspected I was at the top.”
“Of what?”
“Your list of things to do before you were married.”
Gah! I love this pairing so much ♥

That was perfection. You nailed their character voices and kept everything so light and seamless that it felt it could have been an episode... except for the fact that the writers would never treat us to Banrney/Ted goodness.

*g* I love the pairing too. But their voices mess with me, so I'm glad they felt right. Thank you!

:) The show seems to lend itself to detail-oriented fic, though I wasn't sure about the progression, so I'm glad it worked okay. And thank you!

*blushes* Again, thank you. I love them loads as a pairing, but I don't write them as often as I should! I'm just way too easily distracted...

LOOOOOOOOVE. *flails* Exactly what Ted/Barney should be--funny, sweet, sexy, and just a little poignant. Seriously, you made my day with this, and it has been a pretty damned good day. :D

black_eyedgirl January 22 2009, 22:01:37 UTC

*g* I'm really glad you liked. They ended up a little melancholy for some reason, but they end up okay, so it's all good... I maybe should write them more often I guess? ;)

futuresoon January 22 2009, 22:32:09 UTC

I think it is clear that you should write them frequently.
