A one-shot based on a prompt from otpprompts on Tumblr. While searching for a place to move into, Robin Scherbatsky takes on a dare from Marshall to move into an allegedly haunted house- that's haunted by the spirit of someone certainly familiar. But this ghost is friendlier than she realizes- and just why does he care so much for her?
The night when Robin landed a helicopter was a pretty legendary night for sure. This fic exposes how Barney felt during the moment as well as what they discussed afterwards. There are Swarkles feels.
When Barney and Robin freak out one hour before the wedding, Ted helps them recall the time when they won a bet against Marshall and Lily. Note: Mosby Arch Theatres isn't canonical to the HIMYM universe, but here, it is Ted's theatrical company that often puts on quick plays and performances. Stinscents is also not canonical, or at all a real thing.
It's the one year anniversary of 'The Robin,' and Barney wants to do something truly legendary in remembrance. A Swarkles holiday fanfic.
In which Barney proves to Robin that Valentine's Day isn't just for sappy hopeless romantics like Ted.
Robin had always been a government secret agent, working in the SHIELD Initiative, but when she realized that this job was too difficult, she had no choice but to temporarily step out. Now, several years later, Robin is assigned to the case of the infamous Dr. Horrible (Barney, naturally) and called back in to flag him down and finish the job. Avengers/HIMYM/Dr. Horrible crossover.
A month after the wedding, Ted takes Robin to Central Park to bury a certain iconic object. Inspired slightly by the episode 'Sunrise,' as well as 'Something Old.'
The Naked Man works 2/3 times, right? A fic in which Barney surprises Robin using his favorite trick of all- with a twist. Rated T for implied smut and overall classic Swarkles-ness.
Originally this was supposed to be about the gang, but it actually is more Swarkles than anything, not going to lie. Various Swarkles escapades, all in one-shot form. Some fluff, baby fic, etc. Basically it's just a grab bag of different Barney and Robin minifics. Rated T just to be safe.
When a virus breaks out that unleashes zombies in New York City, Ted, Barney, Marshall, Lily, and Robin become the most legendary zombie apocalypse team that's ever existed. With Robin and Barney as leaders of the group, it's up to the MacLaren's five to face cockamice, zombie bartenders, and the underdressed undead to survive- the question is, will they?
More dark horror AU fic. Can't not. AU in which Chester is Barney's demented twin brother. When he reenters his life, everything can only go down from there... Rated M for really dark subject matter and gore.
**Possible trigger warning** Barney has a nightmare. Based loosely on the fate of Neil Patrick Harris's character, Desi, in the film, Gone Girl. This fic is gory, so proceed with caution. Some AU-ish material is present here as well.
Robin does not entirely approve of the idea of getting breakfast out as a couple, and neither does Barney, both fearing that partaking in events like that will later on lead to annoying coupley things- and they aren't willing to become entangled in that kind of relationship. But perhaps free couples' specials and an engaging food fight can change their minds a little bit...
It is written in the Bro Code that bros should not become dads- why would they want to? Once a bro, always a bro, and your bro-ness CAN be ruined by an annoying crying child ("Always remember, Ted: Suits over diapers.") And besides, Robin could never have a baby anyway...or that's what she thinks. But there's always a 'what if', and the bro-ad to parenthood is just beginning...
Barney and Robin take a surprise visit to the Farhampton Beach for their one year anniversary. Nothing else really to say here, just that I hated the ending as we all did, and in my headcanon, these two still are and always will be together.
Another pre-wedding one from a month or so ago. In which Barney's need to find the perfect tie before the wedding has him running away and searching Farhampton to get it- and what he finds is not what he expects.
Because of everything else going on lately, I figured that I'd post something in which Barney and Robin actually end up together- the true story of how Barney really met Robin, several months before Ted.
Not long before the ceremony, Barney presents Robin with the most adorable gift of all. Swarkles fluff. There is 'Future Ted' narration only at the end.
When Barney wakes up the morning after a night of drinking with the flu, Robin is forced to take care of him, something that she has never done before and sure doesn't want to start doing now. Sort of Swarkles fluff.
To Barney, the name of Ted's first child will be the most important thing he'll ever have to decide on. Another HIMYM/Dr. Horrible crossover, this fic tells the tale of how Penny Mosby came to be. The Mother's name is Joanna in this, though her name has not yet been said on the show. First half takes place during 'Symphony of Illumination.'
