Thanks to irrel for humoring my authorial neuroses and giving this part the once-over before I posted it.

( Sheldon could only hypothesize that this was what ordinary people meant when they spoke of having mixed feelings... )

Perfect ending to a great part one :D

I love that Leonard was totally NOT OK with Sheldon making out with Penny, haha. And that Sheldon mentioned that the only times Leonard had kissed Penny was when she was drunk :P
"Only next time-"Leonard's voice rose to a near-hysterical pitch-"you might want to try it with a little less tongue!" HAHAHA, I can totally see that in mind. Poor Leonard, his brain is short-circuiting!

I love that Sheldon burns his pancakes :3 That says so much.

Penny and Sheldon's discussion about the equation and that Leonard equals zero is my favorite part!

"Because when you care about people, they die." AWWW, Sheldon needs a hug (or to make out with Penny!)

I love that at the end Sheldon tells Leonard that they're making out and slams the door on his face, haha.

I'm serious about bribing you for that Part 3 O_O (or whatever you want to write, really!)

I was glad to help, at least only to help with encouragement!

Hmmm... I might be tempted by bribery... especially your kind of bribery.

Thanks for the lovely review!

Perhaps you can help persuade a part 3 out of her with a fanart? Might I offer the ending lines as inspiration? (scampers away laughing maniacally about her scheme of self-indulgence) Hehe, seriously though, part 3 should happen.

that was very lovely and sweet, and i loved the "bad kitty" line. =D

rj_anderson June 16 2009, 03:43:49 UTC

You have to know they're going to get a lifetime of mileage out of the kitty song. :) Thanks!

This was so terrific! I really like Sheldon's hopefully-once-only admissions, very in-character and adorable :D I hope you write more between these two in the future, you really nail their banter perfectly!

rj_anderson June 16 2009, 03:44:28 UTC

Oh, much icon love. Hee.

I'm very glad you thought the banter was in character! I try. :)

"I didn't say anything about-" Leonard looked taken aback. "Bacchanalian?"

That's just Leonard, trying to make a point but always gets sidtracked by something Sheldon does or says.

SHELDON SHUTTING THE DOOR IN HIS FACE TO MAKE OUT PENNY? ^_^

POOR LEONARD. YOU DON'T EQUAL ZERO TO ME, BB. Although, that whole section was just inspired and brilliant.

I'M SORRY BUT I CAN'T GET OVER DOOR SLAMMING SHELLY. IT IS TOO EPIC.

In short, this whole thing is a WIN.

ALSO: ICON? ICON? LOL

I feel bad about the "Leonard = zero" thing, because I really didn't mean (and I don't think Penny or Sheldon meant either) that Leonard is worthless! Just that his feelings about Penny and Sheldon being together shouldn't be allowed to overrule anything, because neither one of them is his personal property, you know?

I always feel sorry for Leonard. But on the other hand, he's always judged Penny by her looks and sexual potential rather than seeing her as a person, so I don't feel too sorry. :)

I'm glad you liked the fic!

mrsvc June 16 2009, 03:46:29 UTC

Don't feel bad. I thought it was brilliant and I knew what you meant. I was just being a hopeless Leonard pity-er. ^^ Blah blah blah, hopeless Leonard delusion, blah blah blah

But on the other hand, he's always judged Penny by her looks and sexual potential rather than seeing her as a person
I totally agree. I get irrationally angry over how the writer have him written with Penny so...yeah.

I was all on board the L/P train for S1 and early S2 (what I saw/heard of it when my husband was watching the eps and I wasn't really paying much attention, that is), but when I saw "The Vegas Normalization" it was like an anvil between the eyes and I was all OMG S/P IS THE BEST IDEA EVER.

Lightsaber!Leonard is still pretty awesome, though. :)

Magic Pointy Finger is now the official name for Sheldon's imaginary whiteboard work. Period.

And the ending? The ending????? jwegfbavvjsgarfaw!!!! Need I say more?

rj_anderson June 16 2009, 03:45:23 UTC

At least Sheldon didn't make the "vrrrrrrrsssshhhh" noises that go with the Magic Pointy Finger. That would have been very distracting. :)

Yay, keyboard flail! I am flattered.
