FIC: Fired (2/4) HIMYM AU

[idioticonion]

Part 2

It gets worse over the next few days. Barney gets ragged. His usual polished appearance degrades. There's a shadow across his jaw, and beneath his bloodshot eyes. He gets drunk every night and clumsily hits on anything that moves. There's an air of desperation about him that seems strained.

Marshall's always secretly

Don't kill heeeem! I love heeeeem!! *hangs onto Barney like the little girl from The Fall hangs onto Lee Pace*

Seriously, though. Way to further build on the intensity. AND DON'T KILL BARNEY OR ELSE I WILL HAVE TO WRITE A HORRIBLY DEPRESSING STORY THAT MAKES EVERYONE CRY AND NEVER GETS FINISHED.

And you know I will. =P

[idioticonion]

Don't threaten me with your stories that MAKE ME CRY!

Don't worry, part three is in progress. I will post it either tonight or after the weekend.

There is a grand plan. Hopefully it will all slot into place beautifully.

AHHHH WHAT HAPPENED.

And I keep being struck by how well-written this is. Really methodical and measured and still as creepy as fuck. Seriously, you had better continue this. Or else!

[idioticonion]

Thank you. So much. seriously, that comment means SO much to me, you can't know!

Part 3 is in progress. I'm just a bit knackered.

[idioticonion]

Thank you! I'm so glad you're invested in this. It will all get sorted out, I promise. Part 3 is in progress.

Barney! Nooooooooo!

[idioticonion]

Indeed! *falls to knees* Noooooooooo! :-)

[smthwallflower]

GAH!!!

And the fact you focused in on fear that isn't irrational or phobic just chills me. Because that's the most terrifying of them all, stuff you KNOW you aren't blowing out of proportion and wow, DON'T KILL BARNEY!!!

So happy there's another part up...

Ps. Twitter guy, *giggle*

[idioticonion]

Yes, I thought it's about time GNB has a Twitter Guy. especially as NPH is all into it, and we have broslife and stuff. :-)
