As Fast As She Can by torigates
["I know that you’re tired of waiting, and you may have to wait a little more, but she’s on her way, Ted. And she’s getting here as fast as she can." Character: The Mother; spoilers: The Leap; rating: PG-13; word count: 1,214.]

Okay, if you've been living under a rock and have not seen the season finale for HIMYM, then don't read this just yet. After you HAVE, come back and read this little piece of magnificence.

If you have, OH EM GEE, you guys! Like, I need a new word for my reaction to this baby: crflailap (cry-flail-clap for those not me). It's just so awesome and honest and true, and I maybe over-identify with The Mother to a ridiculous degree, what with my feeling I am awesome, that I do not require a boy to complete my awesomeness (although one who could accentuate my awesomeness would not be a bad thing - JUST SAYING), and doing the whole going back to school thing. SO YEAH.

Yes, ma'am. God, I love that POV. I really want to try it again, but it's not a POV I can manage for anything lengthy.
