fic: ruby tuesday (saturnalia gift for freaky_anomaly)
Title: Ruby Tuesday
Pairing: Sheldon/Penny
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 5000ish
Summary: Eighteen months ago, a young man and woman vanished from their California home. Now, in a series of exclusive interviews, their loved ones speak out for the first time.
Notes: Inspired by the Rolling Stones, Ray Bradbury, and the Weekly World News (which probably constitutes an apology in itself) and written for freaky_anomaly. Her request: "Penny keeps beating Sheldon at chess. No one can figure out how, least of all Penny." Hope you like it (full refund and replacement item available if you don't), and Happy Saturnalia!
Eternal Gratitude: Belongs to odyle, who was invaluable for her beta reading, handholding, brilliant pep talks, and fortitude in the face of neediness. Any remaining errors or weirdness are mine, not hers.
