Fanfic makes it all better

So unfortunately I'm still feeling a little too sick to go out tonight, so instead I stayed in, caught up on my RP, and reread the single greatest HIMYM fic of all time, Metal Heart. I've read it about a billion times, but until now it was always with a sense of tentative hope -- like, man, I hope Barney/Robin is actually this awesome when it happens!

Instead, I just read it again, and all I could think the time was, God dammit, this was how it was supposed to happen, you bastards!

So basically, I've decided that I'm going to give up and mentally retreat into a fake universe where this is actually canon. I'm still going to watch the show and all, I'm just going to pretend this happened somewhere in there instead of actual Barney/Robin. And any time anyone challenges me on this, I'm just going to say, "Pfft, what show were you watching? Because I was watching the awesome one."
