Last updated 30 September 2009.


Actual recommendations with, y'know, words and stuff are at my rec journal on Dreamwidth.

Long & Complete The Potted Orchid Proposition by rj_anderson → Sheldon has a plan, but will Penny be willing to go along with it? Complete in two parts. The Effervescent Chlorine Submersion by fujiidom → Almost drowning gives Sheldon some perspective, Penny suffers through the ups and downs of Life Debt as a cultural phenomena because of this. Complete in 15 parts. The Reverse Pygmalion Paradox by Bartimus Crotchety → Penny wakes up after a lost night of drinking with a surprise visitor with her in her bed. What really happened? Only one person knows, and he's got an eye twitch. Complete in seven parts. Through Quartz, Sand, and Cellulose by fujiidom → Sheldon gets some help dealing with leftover grief of his father's death from Penny. Lifelong friendship ensues. Evolution by mrsvc → Leonard never believed in evolution as a scientific fact. That was, not until he saw it happen before his eyes. Complete in 17 parts. Long & Incomplete The Providential Dismissal Quandary by htbthomas → Sheldon’s to blame. Penny’s furious. The guys are helpless. What’s a string theorist to do? Episode-style fic featuring the full cast, with a focus on Sheldon/Penny. The Unified Theory of Everything by montycrowley → He was on the brink of changing the universe. So Dr. Sheldon Cooper burned his notebooks in Antarctica. Oneshots Yours (The Earth And All That's In It) by montycrowley → He loses the Nobel. She makes pie. The season ends. The world ends. They fix it. They ruin it. Then they find each other. And it all makes sense in the end. Flying the Coop by cereal → Penny imagines Sheldon's brother in pretty specific detail. Like, maybe creepy detail, but, well, work has been slow and she has a lot of time to think about -- stuff. Sheldon's brother is stuff. Green with Something by cereal → Penny's first thought when she ruins half her bathroom with green body paint is to ruin Sheldon's couch cushion. It's kind of a mean thought -- his spot is way more precious to him than her toilet brush is to her -- but, like, tricking her into putting on green body paint was pretty mean, right? Masters of the Sand Universe by cereal → "Maybe it could be about all of them going to the beach and hilarity ensues (because, you know, the guys are awkward and pale)." Coffee by ceral → It's 8:45 when Sheldon knocks on her door and of course he's early, it's probably some habit bred from the need to find the best seat in the lecture hall, but it doesn't matter, she's ready. Tesseract by rashaka → Two friends are caught up in the end of the world as we know it. My Dearest Moonpie by 3pirouette → Penny reads Sheldon's letters. Post-ep for "The Terminator DeCoupling." The Swimsuit Issue Estimation by skullmonkey → When Howard brings over the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue it prompts Sheldon into a surprising revelation. The Plato's Stepchildren Gambit by ishieland → Sheldon was whispering furiously before she'd even focused enough to see him. "I'm invoking paragraph seven of our recently revised friendship agreement!" Wobble by lilyayl → Sheldon decides to thank Penny with Doctor Who, but ends up showing her the stars. Statistical Anomaly by cereal → So when she realizes it's February 13 and that tomorrow is Valentine's Day, she boils it down to five words. Basic Human Interaction by cereal → "Penelope, I am not finding this funny. Your boyfriend. He's always wearing those comic book T-shirts and looking weird, even when he's with those other guys. When he showed that table the color of his snot, I told myself I wouldn't let him back in, but he'd been behaving since then, so I let it slide. Until today." What Science Cannot Cure by deludedvision → How Sheldon discovers the affliction of romance. Experiments on Gravitation by cereal → There are about six million risks in pointing out that Sheldon has missed anything. Back Through Interruption by lilyayl → Eight years is a long time. What Happens, Stays by cereal → Written for the Porn Battle for the prompt, penny/sheldon, what happens at ComicCon stays at ComicCon. The Love Conundrum by curia_regis → Sheldon's idea of pillow talk is to explain the multiverse theory. The Failure of Einstein's Universe by Annakovsky → Penny desperately needs to save face in front of her ex, so Sheldon pretends to be her boyfriend. It's like Three's Company all up in here. The Earth Moved 1,117.7 Miles In Our Kitchen by rashaka and irrel → Like Wonder Woman, Superman, She-Ra and all those characters her geeky friends cherished, Penny knew in one single, glorious moment what she had to do. Bring the Right One Down by montycrowley → Hometown, siblings, night, memento. Missy, Sheldon, treehouse, zombies. In which case, clearly, the only thing to do is burn everything and find Penny.

That's great, thank you. I just recently got up to date in watching all of TBBT, so this will come in very handy.

Pretty sure Yours (The Earth...) is by montycrowley. But it's well worth the bolding. ;) Why am I always so surprised by the quality of fic in this fandom?

[damalur]

Ack, you're right! Thanks for catching that.

This is wonderful, thank you! I've read a few Penny/Sheldon fics but I've honestly been so overwhelmed by the number of them out there that everytime I've wanted to read some, I just gave up.

Okay, so you are awesome! :)

And there are some on this list I haven't read, so I will be adding them to my never-done Instapaper list. ♥
