Their lying had murdered everything about them that was any good in the first place.

They were inherently risk-takers, but they'd lied and it had somehow made them safe, boring, vacant and average.

Truer words have never been spoken in fanfic. This whole thing has been such a mess, and kudos to you for taking that mess and making something heartwrenching and lovely and sad and frustratingly true.

I wish we'd get half this much honesty and responsibility on the show.

Oh stablergirl. *cries* Hold me.

[stablergirl]

Ugh I know, there there, it will all be fine as long as there's fanfiction because I am bound and determined to never ever ever let this ship die. Never. Ever. No matter what "Don"s they bring in to try to distract me...

Thank you for reading and relating to my misery ;-) I'm glad that you felt this little bit of fic suited these two, since the show has not been suiting them up in any way shape or form.

I'll say it again: ugh.

*sob* This was perfect. It's in that perfect angsty place that I'm in right now where they're concerned. Thanks for trying to make sense of whatever the show is trying to do or say about their relationship, because I'm a little confused at what they're doing right now.

[stablergirl]

Thank you, and I agree angsty and depressing and confusing is where HIMYM is at right now.

Fanfiction is all I have to soothe my weary soul :-(

Thanks for reading and commenting! I really appreciate it.

This was wonderful, and heartbreaking, and completely awesome.

Well done.

[stablergirl]

Thanks snogged, glad you gave it a read!

I have to agree with previous commenters - you've done a fantastic job of articulating just what went wrong in their relationship, and a much better job than the show has done so far. This was really gutwrenching, but in an amazing way.

[stablergirl]

Thank you so much, I'm a sucker for gutwrenching after my shows have dragged me through the metaphorical mud. I'm happy you thought this articulated something true about these two, since we've been missing that the past two Mondays...

Thanks again for reading!

This was really great. And now it has left me so very, very achy and sad and scared to watch the new ep (: Awesome angst though!

[stablergirl]

haha sorry to scare you, but glad you liked the angst! Achy is exactly the right word...that's exactly how I feel. :-(
