I love your portrayal of the characters, and how you showed their vulnerable sides. And how Barney handled it, downright Barney all right with the whole denial and confusion all mixed up. Legendary indeed.

Loved it, good job.

This is awesome.

This was amazing! I love your title, that's one of my favorite songs :) and the fact that you made Barney and Ted seem canon...just perfect. This is one of the best one shots I've ever read. I hope you write more Barney and Ted fics!

This is actually really sweet! Kudos, especially on how you wrote Barney. :)

Great storyline and imagery

pretty perfect really.

So, I just thought I would drop you a review and tell you that I absolutely adored this... It made me laugh and I thought it was incredibly in character, for all of them! I've only recently gotten into the HIMYM fandom and even MORE recently the Barney/Ted ship, but I'm quickly becoming obsessed- and running out of fic to read. This was definitely one of the best ones I've read. It was lighthearted and cute and I wanted you to know that I loved it! Barney x Ted :)

Love, love, LOVE this story :) great work xx

This. This. Oh god, this. THIS.

Amazing, absolutely amazing. I love this pairing very much.

Oooh haha, loved it! Good job :D

I'm not usually the type to seek out the introspective, character study-type of pieces. But when done well? They work really well.

I really love the subtlety of the emotions here-they made the characters have a little more depth and be a little more real. And even without the usual tone of the show, it makes them unquestionably them, too.

Mechanics-wise, the writing here is top notch, and coming from someone who is very pedantic about grammar, that's saying a lot. One minor quirk: the transitions can be a bit unclear as the sentences tend to bleed into each other with no sense of one scene ending and another beginning. It's easy enough to catch on, but the momentary confusion is a bit jarring. I suggest adding some break or separation of some sort in the future.

But nevermind that. This story was an excellent read. The fact that it comes from a relatively small fandom makes it all the more satisfying.

This was really good.
