FIC: Fired (1/4) HIMYM AU

[idioticonion]

          Marshall's fingers wrap around the metal cord and yank, sending the shutters tumbling down across the window. Blinking in the gloom, he sits heavily on a conference chair and bows his head down, resting his cheek against the cool wooden table.

There are words trapped inside him, suspicions and secrets. And as much as Marshall

Ooooh, spooky! That line, "I wasn't quick enough"... that gave me chills, and I want to know what he meant. I also completely buy him throwing himself into work at Evil Inc. after breaking up with Robin.

Can't wait for part 2!

Thank you! I was a little nervous about this, despite the fact that I love the story myself. I just wasn't quite sure if it would come across to anyone else. I'm really glad it worked for you!

Oooh. The last section, from "The devil is in the detail. Marshall's always been good with the details"? Is sheer perfection. It's so beautiful and careful and ominous and I love it. As I love all of this. Moving on to part two!

Thank you! I was a bit worried that this story would make no sense to anyone other than me. I'm really glad it worked for you. :-)

I love it. And I love this >> But the words are soft, and croaking, and they crack like sheet ice under your feet in the dead of winter. <<

Gah, Barney's job! Hopefully Marshall doesn't do anything stupid...

Thank you! I'm glad you liked this. and Barney's a bad bad boy.
