AW-esome!

Oh the writer's aspect:
>“In every story with a pretty girl, there’s always some jerk at the beginning. Usually blond. Almost always wearing a suit. He’s just there to provide conflict for the protagonist. I figured it was you, is all.”
so not!
there's a twist

spoiler alert: robot falls in love.

So great!!!

I know. My friends and I noticed a while back that, in romantic comedies and stuff, the asshole who's with the girl at the beginning tends to be blond. And since Barney's not exactly our average protagonist, I thought I'd play with that.

Thank you for commenting! Glad you enjoyed it.

(Also, I don't think I've mentioned it before, but that icon is darling.)

Barney as a protagonist?.. I know he's probably one of - or just the best character but it's still 'Ted's story'. Unless Barney gets a spin-off... doing uh.. whatever it is that he does..

(Yours too! icons are so fun! I wish I could make pretty icons, I just snag. Mine have blurry pictures.)

Ahh I love this! When I first skimmed the title and summary for your fic, I was like, "wait, what?" But then I finally clued in and loved it. Yay for awesome crossovers!

On a side note: how awesome is it to see Nathan Fillion on tv regularly again? I missed him so much! (I'm still bitter that Drive was cancelled.)

Haha, thank you. :D But the shows really are too awesome NOT to be crossed over.

This is actually the first time I've been following a Nathan show when it's on TV, but I'm loving it. And the ratings look pretty decent, so maybe it won't get cancelled. :D

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much. :) They are two awesome shows, and what with Doctor Horrible, I couldn't resist a crossover.

I've written a bunch of stuff for HIMYM here.

So I read this once, and I'd only seen the second episode of Castle, and I liked it. Then I watched the pilot on hulu, and came back to this … and it was only then, I admit, that I remembered Dr. Horrible, durh.

Which is all to say, the story totally works without that knowledge. Mostly I was excited because I adore HIMYM and Castle is so fantastic, and Barney and Rick really are shockingly similar, especially in that they might be wolves, but they deeply care about their extended families.

Wow, thank you! But, yeah, Castle and HIMYM are both amazing, and I had to write a crossover. I think Barney and Castle are just similar enough that they'd piss each other off. Anyway, glad that you enjoyed this.
