*rereads last line and totally melts*

I once saw a Barney/Robin marriage of convenience fic. This is about a million times better than this fic. KEEP. WRITING. Preferably do so fast enough that I have good reason to nominate you for an HIMYM award.

Thank you! I'll ruminate on the subject of writing a continuation. I really only meant it as a one-shot, but if I'm hit with an epiphany, I might keep writing.

Hmmmm...there was one aspect in the original draft that I left out for pacing reasons...maybe the possible part two will deal with it instead.

Oh, and I meant THIS is a million times better than THAT fic. Heh.

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

[logicisfailing]

Yes! I vote for more as well :-)

Great story. I figure Robin actually is a citizen now, but I love this premise.

Update soon, please. I so hope they stay married.

[mallory_mike]

Thanks! I'll see what I can do about updating.

I'm not sure about Robin's citizenship status. I just assumed she was in New York on a Green Card.

If you don't mind spoilers, it's clarified in the plot for episode 14. :D

I love spoilers, but I hadn't heard that one before. It's interesting.

[flighty_dreams]

OMG... I could actually see this happening! And it would be awesome... although not as awesome as them getting together for real... but that could always come later... ;)

Thanks for writing this. Loved the punch of the last line!

[mallory_mike]

Thank you! I agree, though it would be awesome for them to get together for real (or, as "for real" as a fictional TV show can be), at least we have fics to tide us over until then.

[mallory_mike]

Thanks. I'm always a little nervous about character voices, especially when I have them talking about somthing that is otherwise out-of-character.

Is there more fic of the way? Hmmmm...perhaps..;)

This is amazing!!!

You were so right about this song being perfectly suited (hee) for them; I think I might need to download this song now. I love this idea about a marriage of convenience for the two of them. And that last line... sigh!!

I just might nominate this for a HIMYM award. =D

[mallory_mike]

:D

Nominate this for an award?!? To quote Robin, holy crap! I was just messing around with a premise. Thank you very much!

Yeah, I love that song sooo much. Have you heard any of the other Barney-ish songs from "Company"? Like "Being Alive"?

[da_phoenix13]

I just downloaded "Marry Me a Little" and "Being Alive". I think I saw the Youtube videos of them yesterday... was it you who posted them in idioticonion's HIMYM soundtrack post? Because I kind of fell in love with those songs after that. Not to mention, it's Raul Esparza, the one actor I desperately want to see one more time on PD. =)

I'm trying to figure out what a good category for this fic would be... hmm...

[mallory_mike]

Ah yes, twas me who posted them. I wasn't sure if anyone other than idioticonion watched them.
