Map Across Your Heart

by moonlight-shimmer

"You have not traveled enough," she said. "Or you'd know that every journey makes its own map across your heart." - Sharon Shinn. Life is not about reaching a destination; it's about getting there. This is a collection of missing moments illustrating Barney and Robin's journey, laughter, tears, heartbreak, happiness, friendship and lots of fluffiness included! :)

Comment: Robin apologises for the night she chose Kevin over Barney. This is one of my personal favourites so far :)

"So, what I'm saying is… I'm so sorry about that night. And I will probably never forgive myself."

Robin takes a deep breath and looks over at him, lying naked and languid in her bed.

"Barney. Say something?!"

He sighs and rolls on top of her, a lazy smile on his lips. "You just don't want me to hold that against you forever…" He kisses her deeply.

She puts a hand to his chest. "I also really want to put this behind us."

Barney pushes hair behind her ear. "You're forgiven. Just… don't ever do it again."

"Never again. Promise."
