The Re-return - HIMYM fic - 1/?

Part One

Robin Scherbatsky was in love with Barney Stinson.

For some reason, she had not been expecting it at all.

They’d been down that road before. They’d fallen for each other, dated, and broken up. They’d become friends again. They had become such good friends recently, that it was a wonder she didn’t see it coming. Of course she had been

Wowzer, this is only part 1?

And already it's great! There's more? You are spoiling us!

I particular love love love this part:

And Barney has done a lot of growing up since the last time you guys dated. So have you. You’re different people than you were back then. Maybe your reasons aren’t reasons anymore. It may have been a bad idea a couple years ago. Neither of you was really ready to commit. But what about now?

Just so true, god damn it why couldn't Barney and Robin SEE that in the back of the cab! *hugs Lily*

Thank you! Agreed. I really wish they could see that they're finally ready for a relationship.

My OTP is always Barney/Robin and you gave me lots lots of perfect feeling about them. First of all, when I read it, I felt like I was watching a new episode kind of dream episode, but probably Robin never feels like that clear and obvious. Whatever, you're writing really well, I'm just staring and that's the just first chapter of the story. :)

I ADORE ALL CHARACTERS! Especially Lily, it's just so beautiful and I really like hearing her voice in my mind. Barney and Robin is kind of crazy as you said and I actually like dreaming of them both together. "Two crazies do not make a sane." That's not true at all, they are perfect and when I read your words, I understand I missed them together so much. :)

Barney/Nora is just flawless but I don't know what to say about them, you made me feel hate for them. And of course it's valid for Simon/Nora. I really wonder other parts, I really like this fic, and reading all chapters, I hope others will be as great as first chapter. Can't wait for next chapter. :)

Glad you liked it. :) I can understand your thinking that two crazies getting together can understand each other, but I genuinely think neither of them was mentally healthy/emotionally prepared enough the first time around to make it work. Now that they have both grown up a little, they stand a much better chance.

Haha, I'm sorry I made you hate Barney/Nora? I'm trying not to let my natural hate for them seep into my writing, but that can be difficult.

So this tab has been open and I've wanted to read this all week, and now I have and yaaaayyyy!!! Awesome start-I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this.

I loved how you had Robin acting really off with the group, which not only was a great throwback to Barney in "Do I Know You" but it's also in character and done in a way that Robin has actually acted in the past. So really great stuff here, and I love the BrOTP angst, so you won't here any complaints from me in that department!! :)

[only_thewinds]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. :) I'm glad you picked out the throwback.

[snogged]

I totally don't hate you.
I think you've set up something rather swell with this fic. :) Looking forward to Part 2.
