Doomed to Fail- by MelyBelle44
Rating: T
? (not sure if its complete or not...)
AU: Penelope McKinnon is a good girl. She's been a respectable daughter, a model citizen, and all-around sweetheart. How can her unlikely friendship with a relative stranger change things entirely? OmahaVerse
*This story is completely an AU-no mention of TBBT at all-, but I think its worth a look. I know some people don't like to read AU (IMO all fan fiction is AU, the only thing canon is the show itself) so I thought I'd put out a warning.

Shelnard. I realize this is a 'relationship' Shelnard so it might not be for everyone's taste but every time I read it my toes curl at the portrayals (and, I admit, the toe nails are a tad green from envy!). It has the tightness that my 'loose baggy monsters' definitely lack and is a lot more faithful to Sheldon regarding sexuality than any other fic I've read. Not that I'm saying the fic is perfect but it captures the delicacy of their friendship that was hinted at in the early seasons.

Boyfriend (3520 words)
AU: Callmejude

"Wherein Sheldon proves he's human, and Leonard is thankful."

Summary: Written for the prompt: Sheldon's voice--an asexual relationship. Not a 'I'll cure you of your asexuality with mah boobs' or learning to overcome it but an actual relationship with no sex (or limited to mutual masturbation as it's canon that Sheldon beats off) and all concerned are satisfied with the arrangement.

Sheldon in Galveston. While it's only two short chapters (I hope she hasn't abandoned it. Sad ) I really liked the snap shots of the dynamic between George Cooper and his genius son.

cut the cord (2 chapters)
Au: Ivory Muse

Summary: Fathers and sons are complicated even at the best of times. This isn't exactly the best of times.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10168464/1/cut-the-cord

Sheldon-centric. This is an abandoned piece from 2013 that has proved to be relevant given the events in S7.

Of Geniuses and Men (930 words)
Au: Gypsy Love

Summary: Sheldon struggles with dead ends in his work.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9202522/1/O...es-and-Men

For those into Shelnard, the author has also written a multichapter fic (also incomplete): The Spectrum of Desire.
I'd leave a comment but it's been a while since I read it.

Shelnard. I have loved Concupiscence66's dialogue in all of his/her fics. It's punchy and spot on and there's a gentle humor to the stories that I like. This one also explores an asexual Sheldon and how the Shelnard dynamic deals with it.

The BreakUp (6854 words)
Au: Concupiscence66

Summary: Leonard and Sheldon aren't a couple, they're just roommates, so they can't break up. Only Leonard is stupid enough to buy that one.

I'm not one for romance in general, nor for fics where a hitherto asexual character is suddenly waving his bits around in the laundry room. Unless it's funny.
Like here; The Cooper Methodology or, How Sheldon Lost the Bet <smut ahoy in that one...be warned> Otherwise I find myself shrieking and leaping away from the computer with the speed of a thousand gods. I am essentially either a wimp or a prude or just terribly naive, I haven't decided yet.
Anyroad, my favourite stories are still those where Sheldon's a sentient spaceship. Or a toaster. Or a cat. Ghost. etc.

But this is rather lovely;

The Tabular Analysis
By: musetastique
Penny's insecure, and Sheldon's... not really helping. But he's Sheldon and she's Penny, and it works. Friendshippy.

This is also rather lovely;

The Moonlight Cooties Infection
By: arabean
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5902378/1/T...-Infection

This one is amusing and quite plausible, set post S5 (Grrrrr!) but features old style Sheldon. Also has a pleasant ending for Leonard and Amy. So everyone should be bloody happy.

The Girlfriend Agreement
By: partbritishtowhead
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7700235/1/T...-Agreement

Right. Done my stint for the day.

Sheldon/Wil Wheaton next...Even Tweety Bird agrees dammit!

For the Shenny lovers:

The Alpha Dominance Principle by O.E.M. (Alt. Universe) This author does a great job of explaining the personalities of the vintage group (This is NOT a BDSM story, although it does have a Shenny sex scene)

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7933733/1/T...-Principle

Dr. Sheldon Cooper believes in that there are multiple universes, each having a
different spin off of another. Funny thing about this, is that he is right.
There are 26 different dimensions. This story deals with the Sheldon Cooper and
Penelope of one of those dimensions. In the 17th century Marquis de Sade and
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch wrote books that, instead of being deemed as
inappropriate and wrong as it is in the current dimension, revolutionized the
way people interact with one another. Over time, society began to define people
by their sexual identifications. Instead of deciding ones partner by their
physical prowess or their intelligence, partners are chosen by whether or not
they are a Dominant or Submissive and to what degree they are that way. The
dichotomy that are used to define the degree of domination or submission is the
typical Alpha, Beta, and Omega schematic.


The Bellagio Peregrination by FlippySpoon (Just a crazy fun Shenny)

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8062869/1/T...egrination

Sheldon reluctantly takes Penny along to a conference in Las Vegas. Epiphanies are had, stars are gazed, cards are counted, shenanigans are shenaniganed.


The Browncoat Revelation by UltraWoman

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7823282/1/T...Revelation

Sheldon had no idea that Penny shares one of his greatest passions, and when he finds out, it leads to a closeness neither could have imagined possible! Early/Mid Season 5, Shenny.


The Symposium Equation by TempestJo

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6529761/1/T...m-Equation

Sheldon gets two tickets to a coveted event, but must bring a female...


Voided Agreements by Risknight

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8887300/1/V...Agreements

Penny and Sheldon are no longer friends. So who will help him when his world suddenly falls apart?


And two weird and wonderful stories from SpaceAnJL
World of Weirdcraft

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5823096/1/W...Weirdcraft

This is Sheldor the Conqueror – a cold, brutal warlord. He's quite a guy. This is Queen Penelope. She's a beautiful barbarian. She's one warrior-goddess who knows how to take care of herself. When they met, it was...Mordor...

Through The Looking Glass, Darkly

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6989678/1/T...ass-Darkly
Sheldon subscribes to the many worlds theory, which posits the existence of an infinite number of Sheldons, in an infinite number of universes. He just never expected to meet one of them... Canonverse, pre S4 finale


For the non-romantics:
The Big Bang Fable by Risknight

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10203958/1/...Bang-Fable

A beautiful princess, an army of vicious trolls, and a tall, brave ...stable boy? Not your average fairy tale, I assure you.
“There are no scenes more fun to do, I feel like, than the ones between Sheldon and Penny. They are such a wonderful odd couple.” - Jim Parsons

I'm so happy with more fic recs. As a person who doesn't have the stomach to trudge thru Shamy bombs on FF.net, these are appreciated.

Here is one I read a while ago:
Dead like Us by Slybrunette
Fandom!Swap with Dead Like Me. Sheldon, Penny, and the gang as reapers. Turns out the afterlife might be just as complicated.

It may be just me....but it looks like some Shenny authors are finding a more welcoming environment over at AO3. The amount of stories has exploded in the last 3-4 months and most of them are Shenny author's migrating their works from FFN.

That's encouraging. I like AO3 and I def. prefer it over FF.net, I think it's visually nicer and less cluttered, and more user-friendly. I think the quality of fic might be generally higher, there seem to be fewer spammy/nonsensical posts than FF.net; so here's hoping it stays that way....
