Favors - Barney/Robin/Ted

[otempora42]

This was written as a response to one of the Porn Battle prompts -- "Barney/Robin/Ted, Bros before hoes".

Please leave feedback -- I'm kind of nervous about this one, for reasons which will become obvious when you read it. Or possibly not, because I may be way overreacting. Also, I am physically incapable of writing happy porn.

Brilliant, tragic, wonderful. I love love love this. I particularly love Ted's instinct to want to be with *barney* particularly, and his jealousy.

Thank you! I kind of wrote this at four in the morning, so I don't actually remember much about the process. And the second-to-last paragraph took me completely by surprise.

But, glad you liked it. :)

I've had that "zoned out" feeling in my own fics many times!

And it produced something that was simply BRILLIANT! Ted's unrequited love for Barney.

Try that four am writing again? Hehe.

I know. One minute, I was writing somethin perfectly respectable, and the next I had angsty threesome porn and the sun was coming up. It's weird. :P

Maybe some other time. Right now I'm completely worn out. My friend told me that she thought I was going to faint by the end of school.

I really enjoyed this twist at the end.. That Ted wants Barney more than he wants Robin. That's an interesting take on it. I like your Ted thoughts here too because he totally thinks too much, and I can easily picture him thinking such deep thoughts when having sex too.

I feel so sorry for Ted. That must be so painful to be in love with Barney but know that Barney loves Robin and not him. Also, that mention about almost blowing his brains out because of Stella? He was that depressed and I could see him threaten it.

Ted wouldn't be Ted if he wasn't constantly overthinking things, would he? :P

But, yes, he came out horribly emo, I'm afraid. I blame the four-AM plotbunnies. But people seem to like it, so I'm OK with it. :P

Thanks for the lovely comment!

Oh, my heart, how it does ache for Teddy boy..."The one he was growing more sure of every day." *sob*

"Sometimes he wonders, when Barney and Robin are basking in their glow, what would happen if he were just to kiss Barney. Damn the consequences." ARRGH it is completely like Ted to think about such things. Stop it Ted, get out of their lives and find someone else NOW!

That was really good, I love it when people write smut with a purpose :)

[otempora42]

Ted thinks a lot, and it gets him into a lot of trouble. Which is why, I think, he's so miserable in this.

"I love it when people write smut with a purpose"

I cannot write happy porn. True story.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ooh...poor Ted.

This is wonderful, hunny. I'm glad I stumbled across it :)

[otempora42]

Thank you so much! I can never read my darkfic once it's published, so I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. :)

Okay, I adore this so hard. I don't read a lot of non-canon fic and this one blows them outta the water. Fantastic job.

[otempora42]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, especially since it's different from what you usually read.
