flipping beautiful! I honestly was not expecting this and you did such a good job with the prompts and at making the scenery and the characters so real. The realization as to why Sheldon's taken up running with Penny again was very well done and I just loved the relationship you built between them. Seeing things from Penny's point of view was a nice change of pace from the normal third person point of view and, again, I really liked how well you described the various places and their relationship to the places they visited. Great job!

Aw thank you so much! I haven't written in this fandom for a little while and I haven't really been keeping up with the show either as of late, so I was pretty nervous, but knowing that this worked for you is like lifting a weight off of my shoulders. I'm really so thrilled that you enjoyed this!

And now I'm trying to figure out what someone can have against bear claws.

I liked how Leonard addressed the jogging and how uncharacteristic it is.

I enjoyed the slow build, nice job with that.

I have no idea. I'm not even making that up; that's canon for you.

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

I'm not going to lie, the wordy description was probably less me and more cold meds, so I'm just happy it was amusing in places. And made sense, progression wise.

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

This is really fantastic. I needed a Sheldon/Penny fix after that last episode and I was so happy to see that you had written some. You write such a good build-up, and all of the scenes in the desert are so wonderful. Plus the reason why Sheldon does it all is really touching. Great fic.

[slybrunette]

lol, this fic is the reason I haven't seen last episode (it's on my DVR), so it's good to know that i have something to look forward to.

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

Haha, no, actually, I thought last episode was pretty horrible and could have been so much more, so it was great to read a fic where Sheldon is an actual human being! Sorry I got your hopes up?

[slybrunette]

LOL. It's okay -- I really haven't been expecting much from that show, tbh, so I'm not surprised. I think I've fallen out of love a little bit from where i was in S2. Oh well.

oh my goodness this is just lovely. the slow build of their growing closeness was fantastic. Penny trying to convince herself that it was all in her head until she just couldn't anymore was wonderfully in character. in fact both of them were wonderful extensions of what the show gives us. I'm just going to sit her and quietly flail over how great this story is. ♥

Aw thank you! I really tried to be true the characters, so it's good to hear that that came across for you. I'm glad you enjoyed this!
