OH MAN. YOU. Not only is this, like, obviously perfect and adorable, but it just fits in wonderfully, tonally, where they're at right now in the series and wlkjdlksjg BROTP.

“Maybe he Disapparated,” Barney mumbles. “Oh, wait. He can’t. Because he’s a Muggle. What up.”

That may be one of the greatest lines you've written, girl, NOT ENOUGH LOL IN THE WORLD.

:D :D :D Thank you, buddy ol' pal!

this is just so perfect. i fear you have ruined any other HIMYM for me, definitely. this is just so spot-on. i love your Ted, i haven's seen Ted written well so often. and of course poor Barney and wonderful, oblivious Robin.

best bit of course, it's Robin calling Alaska the "diet Canada". classic. this fic is just too much ♥ i cannot handle such awesomeness.

[dollsome]

Aw, thank you so much! :D :D I'm glad that Ted came off well; whenever I try to write him, I spend a couple lines going "OH GOD, I CANNOT WRITE TED" before kind of settling in and hoping for the best. Oh, Theodore Evelyn Mosby, you enigma!

[zauberer_sirin]

no worries at all, your Ted is perfect. and I'm a big Ted fangirl so I'm always very critical with fanficcers' takes on my boy. he is such an enigma! i can't imagine writing him myself except that I still hope to write that story in which Karen Filipelli is The Mother that's been on my mind forever.

[dollsome]

OH MAN, YOU CAN'T JUST GO SAYING THOSE KINDS OF THINGS AND THEN STRIKING THEM OUT. GOOD GOD.

I read one once where the mother was JIM MOTHERFLIPPIN' HALPERT. And it was glorious.

[dollsome]

:D :D Thank you, buddy!

[angearia]

You write Barney/Robin too? I kinda love you. <3

So many lines to love but especially this one:

“He was a good suit,” Barney says at last, all verklempt and small-voiced. “Served me well.”

[dollsome]

:D :D :D Thank youuuuu!

This is so great! Robin, Barney and Ted are all perfect here. I laughed out loud when Barney said "THERE'S FIRE ON ME," plus I loved Ted's rant about Alaska owning Canada and Robin being freaked out when both Barney and Ted are all serious. Barney's quiet, drunken sadness here is also killing me in a really good way. Aaaand I love all of Robin's sex-related jokes that Barney can't even laugh at.

Also, love your icon! Last week's ep was so fun - it 's been so long since we've gotten a good friendship episode with those two, and even longer since we've gotten a fun ep with Ted, Robin and Barney hanging out.

[dollsome]

Aw, thank you so much! :D And, yeah, I loved Ted and Robin and Barney hangin' last week. A gentleman's agreement, huzzah!
