Eeee I love this!
Your characterization is so spot on. It's like...even though I think I do ship Sheldon/Penny at this point it's still mostly really unbelievable for me! But this, I totally believe this.
I also really love that it's from Leonard's POV. You captured a lot of what I would expect to be his reaction really well, which also makes me feel rather sad for him. :(
But yes, this is awesome!
♥!

First of all, your icon is gorgeous! That's a manip right? Or did I miss some sort of deleted scene lol.

Sheldon/Penny is my OTP for this show...and yet I even have trouble believing it sometimes. It gets easier though -- the more I write them, the easier it gets.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Hee why thank you! Yeah I made it when I was making interest icons the other week for someone who also ships them :)

Yeah, after I read this one I went back and read like all the rest of the stuff you've written for them and now I'm like craaaaving more really badly! lol

Fantastic work then :)

I'm writing something else with them as we speak, so there will be more. And if you ever have prompts don't hesitate to let me know...

I love how you wrote this. I could feel the tension! And I even felt bad for Leonard...

I want to say more than 'aww, I loved it' - but I did :)

As everyone else agrees I can really feel the tension, as I read my shoulders clenched more and more, your great at the build up and the pay off is amazing.
You've done well too to make me feel for Leonard, he doesn't get a lot of a look in in s/p most times. Great that you've used present tense as well, I think it adds to the tension even more.

Fantastic, well done!

I definitely wanted to get the payoff in there -- I didn't want to have it build up and just leave him wondering. It's too anti-climactic that way. As for the present tense, well, that's just the way I've been writing for a few years now. I think it works best for me personally.

Anyways, I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I just can't believe the sheer amount of gold that comes out of the peopl at Paradox. I've never been part of a comm that has SO many people with something fantastic to share. This....this can certainly be added. POOOOOOOR Leonard. He is just FAR too accepting for his own good. Especially the way Penny just blurts it out. But I like the way you finish it off, making it sound like she does care and that's why she's there arguing with Sheldon. Very well written! :)

If I wouldn't have been writing this at midnight, it probably would've been longer, lol.
