Man guys, and Barney just had a moment of character development... Way to ruin that.
At least Marshall's departure had some measure of forewarning, but Ted? Pulling out at the last second? Low blow.

Anyway awesome fic :)
Captures the heart of the situation perfectly. You can't really blame Barney for these things at this point can you?

[idioticonion]

Yeah, it actually really annoyed me that neither Marshall or Barney could remember their night making up, especially the whiskey bit!

And thanks. Poor Barney, you can really imagine that he's very, very hurt right now!

YEAAAH. Maybe that sounded too enthusiastic after the mellow tone of this piece, but YEAAH! I really liked it. I love you and your introspective Barney. =)

[idioticonion]

Thank you! And I love your enthusiasm! I wish you could get poor Barney a little bit psyched. :-)

I agree with brandyleigh! Amazing fic, great insight into the professional and emotional consequences of Marshall and Ted's actions on Barney.

[idioticonion]

Thanks! I really hope Marshall and Ted at least acknowledge how much Barney's hurt by this! Grrr.

[idioticonion]

Thank you! I wanted to hug Barney too. I hope the guys (especially Ted, grrrr) make it up to him.

Aww, great fic!
**raises pitchfork and torch** Now excuse me, I have to hunt down two lousy friends. Of which at least one is a betrayer of the Bro-code.

[idioticonion]

YES! I am right there with you with a very large stick to chase them down. I call shenanigans on Ted!
