I- wow. This is wonderful and beautiful and exactly what I needed. I wrote this prompt during a pretty dark time last semester when I was feeling very sad, uninspired, unmotivated and unworthy at anything. While things have changed and I am much better, the darkness is still lurking in the corner.

Reading this, well, my heart ached everytime Sheldon reached out to her. It was like he was reaching out to me. I loved every word of this. Thank you so much! *HUGS*

I am SO GLAD! The prompt was just vague enough to take it in almost any direction, and it's always chancy going darker. I think it was also a reflection of where I am in my life, too. We all have those dark moments where it seems easier to just give up and exist, but we secretly want to have some one chipping away at it until we're ready to come out of our self-imposed shell. Sheldon, being Sheldon, would do just that.

I am so happy that you liked it, and even happier that you're not in that place in your life anymore. *HUGS*

This was so moving. I really teared up at the notebook. Having had my own struggles with depression, both career-related and not, I could totally empathise with Penny, and I love the ending you wrote for her.

I loved this so much I can't even explain it! I cried so much! You got the pain and the awkward affection between them just so right. Fantastic work, really fantastic.

The notebook made me cry, but in a good way, I assure you. :) I've been going through my own stuff with looking for a job, so I have some sense of how Penny was feeling. I also think that the sentence structure you worked with functioned beautifully as well. You went for a certain emotion, and I think you nailed it!

This was utterly perfect. I love seeing Sheldon decide be someone for Penny to lean on. *hearts*
