Hey guys, I'm back! I promised you guys a "Cardinal Rule" sequel AGES ago, but I've gotten side-tracked with my other projects, so that stopped me from getting to this for a while. Sorry for making you guys wait, but I finally got started, so that has to count for something, right? If anyone reading this hasn't read "Cardinal Rule", it'd be good to read it because it goes more in depth on the world that this story's set in. So I'm just gonna give a quick recap of Cardinal Rule and give you guys an intro as to what you should expect in the story.
"Cardinal Rule" was set in the alternate universe where Ted and Victoria had switched lives, meaning Victoria went to Wesleyan, became Marshall and Lily's best friends and she met Barney and Robin, while Ted lived out Victoria's life. I also introduced an original character, Ava, that plays a major part in the story as Ted's best friend. Ted discovered that Victoria had cheated on him and broke up with her, leading Victoria (with her friends' help, of course) to try and win him back. After a few failed attempts and a talk with the deep, meaningful Barney, Ted and Victoria end the story engaged.
Most of "An Old Married Couple" is about Ted and Victoria's marriage and how it slowly starts to suffer, but don't think their friends' lives aren't going to be any easier either since they're gonna have their problems too. With Ted and Victoria's happiness in the line of fire, will they be able to fix their problems before it ends in a divorce or has far too much damage already been done? Let's find out what happens.
