This was really good, a really good examination of Robin's mindset during this part of the show. And I agree, Patrice is an overcorrection for Robin. As much as I am totally for Barney/Robin as endgame, I kind of actually like him being with Patrice for now. I think he needs someone to sort of shift his focus from the constant sex and excitement of the next challenge, etc, to real emotional intimacy. I just hope she doesn't end up getting hurt in the process.

This story was really good, very much enjoyed it :)

Thank you so much! Barney/Robin is also my endgame. I think they would work incredibly well together, but I think they both have some individual growing to do, and I think Patrice can definitely help Barney in that respect (and Robin as well, in handling her jealousy and figuring out what she wants). Thank you so much for the review! (:

great job, really enjoyed this. Robin really is a mess and Barney's plan is going to straighten her out once and for all. She'll even realize how good of a friend Patrice is for helping Barney. Look forward to seeing more of your writing.

Thank you for the lovely comment! Is that really the plot? Barney's using his friendship with Patrice to galvanize Robin? Gaah I want to see those two resolved and happy so badly but I also want another season of HIMYM. Conflicted feelings.
