The Shiny Happy Comment Ficathon!

[dollsome]

Winter is coming; daylight is fleeting; for the students among us, end-of-semester hell is just about to rear its ugly head. What better way to combat such woes than with a super-cheerful comment ficathon?

Ergo:





The Rules Are Thus:

1. Cheerful prompts! I feel like there's not much regulation here in terms of pairings: almost every ship or pair of characters is capable of a fluffy/happy/silly moment, and if they're not in canon, then why can't they be in fic? However, any prompt involving, say, lyrics from Eminem and Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie" is probably not appropriate in terms of tone. Unless it's the "guess that's why they call it WINDOW PANE" line, which will never stop being hilarious.

2. Prompt format should go thus:

Fandom -- Pairing or characters -- prompt

3. For the fic you've written, please put the following in your comment's subject line: 'Fandom -- pairing -- title.'

4. Be nice!

5. Spread the fun, if you are so inclined!

6. Go forth and have a merry happy good time. :)

How I Met Your Mother, Barney/Robin, mocking Twilight and those who read it (who may or may not include one Theodore Evelyn Mosby)

How I Met Your Mother - Barney/Robin - Operation: Stake It To Ted

[noteasilywon.livejournal.com]

Okay, this kind of got away from me, so it's less Barney/Robin and more the whole gang.

One night at McLaren's Robin pulled Barney aside.

"Hey," she whispered, "I found something that I think you need to see." He was more than a little disappointed when she handed him a book.

He looked at the title. "Twilight? Really, Robin? Really?"

"It's not mine!" she hissed. "Look on the inside!"

Stamped on the inner cover was an elaborate seal that read: PROPERTY OF THEODORE E. MOSBY.

"Oh," says Barney, as a slow grin spread across his face. "Oh, this is gonna be -"

"Legendary." Robin finished.

***

Later that night, during a lapse in the conversation, Robin carefully met Barney's eyes and gave a tiny nod, and Operation: Stake It To Ted (the name was Barney's idea) began.

"So," Robin began casually, "Today at work Becky would not shut up about Twilight."

Lily groaned. "Oh, those books are the worst. Do you know how many of my students dressed up as Twilight characters for Halloween this year? Four. Can you believe it? They're five years old, and they've already been corrupted by that junk."

Marshall looked horrified. "Inappropriate! Those books are way too mature for little kids."

"Wait, you've read them?" asked Robin.

"No!" Marshall said quickly. "I mean... okay, fine. I was curious, okay?" he said defensively. "And besides, I like a good love story as much as the next guy."

"Or girl," muttered Barney.

Marshall ignored him "So yeah, I read them. I wish I hadn't- they've scarred me for life now. The night after I finished the last one I had this horrible dream where Lily and I had a baby and Ted fell in love with it."

"WHAAAT?!"

"Exactly! It was awful. And then I started thinking, well, what if that really happened?"

"Marshall!" Ted squawked. "That's completely ridiculous!"

"Is it, Ted?" Marshall said accusingly. "IS IT?"

"Yes! Look, Marshall, I promise you, I will not fall in love with your future child."

At that moment, some guy walking past their table paused to glanced at Ted suspiciously.

Ted looked up at him and said weakly, "Uh- Twilight nightmare."

"Ah, gotcha," replied the guy, and walked on.

Robin looked disturbed. "Seriously, has everyone read these books?"

Lily raised a hand. "I haven't, but I've had to deal with Marshall's nightmares about them. As far as I'm concerned, the whole Colden family can go straight to hell."

"Cullen," Ted corrected absently.

Robin's head snapped up. "What was that, Ted?"

Ted's eyes widened. "Nothing."

Robin smirked. "I don't think so. Hey, Barney, I think Professor Mosby has something to share with the class."

"Nope. Not a thing," said Ted.

"Oh, Ted, Ted, Ted," Barney said, his voice dripping with mock-sympathy, "It's okay - we're all friends here. You can come out of the vampire closet. The sparkly, sparkly vampire closet."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, really? Well, this-" Robin said, pulling the book out of her purse, "begs to differ."

Ted went pale.

"Look," she continued. "You even put your name in it - with one of your special Property Of stickers." She raised an eyebrow. "Suck on that, vampire boy."

Ted buried his head in his hands. "Okay, you win. It's mine, I admit it. I read it, it's mine. It's not like it's the worst thing in the world."

Marshall looked ashamed. "I've just lost so much respect for you, man."

"Oh, come on," snapped Ted. "We all watched Buffy, didn't we? It's kind of the same thing!"

"Oh, Ted," Lily said pityingly. "Trust me, it's not the same. Not at all."

The sparkly, sparkly vampire closet.

EVERLASTING JOY! Hahahahaha, this is AMAZING. Marshall ignored him "So yeah, I read them. I wish I hadn't- they've scarred me for life now. The night after I finished the last one I had this horrible dream where Lily and I had a baby and Ted fell in love with it." Operation: Stake It To Ted! Lily's glorious closing line! So much wonderful. ♥

Why, thank you very much, buddy! I'm so happy you liked it. And thanks for the great prompt- it was a jolly good time to write! :D:D:D

(Also, props for using an icon that works for both HIMYM and Twilight. Although Twilight!Nessie isn't so much "awesome" as "incredibly creepy".)
