I haven't seen Season 6 yet but I'm currently in the processess of getting over the travesty of Season 5 so yeah, this was like a balm to my very troubled personage. *g*
It was a long time ago, but women, like elephants, never forget. Honestly, there was a long time (after he found her at the shooting range crying, and let the record state that Barney Stinson never signed up for making Robin Scherbatsky cry, no sir he did not) where he kind of suspected that she was going to randomly murder him. Think about it: Wendy the Waitress poisoned his drinks for years just because of one hookup. Robin has way more cause to want to shuffle him right off this mortal coil, and way more badassness to wield.
- You just summed up why Robin is awesome and perfect for the Barnman.
“Yeah, maybe they won’t if you stop this lunacy right now,” Robin says, waving her hand dramatically at the TV. And giving it the finger in the process. The tightness in Barney’s chest loosens a little; it has no choice, in the face of such stone cold awesome. Scherbatsky. Always a pro.
-- I could have quoted the entire thing but these two passages really resonated with me. Like every one said already, this fic really hits all the right notes.
