Four Penny/Sheldon recs, as requested!
Fandom Category: The Big Bang Theory
Pairing: Sheldon/Penny
Fic Title: The Unified Theory of Everything

Rating/Warning(s): Adult / no warnings given.
Genre: None given.
WIP?: Yes.
Why This Must Be Read: I don't have the words to give this story the recommendation it deserves. The premise is intriguing - Penny in California, Sheldon off doing research at the pole - but the execution is brilliant. I rarely encounter this quality of storytelling in published fiction.
Fandom Category: The Big Bang Theory
Pairing: Sheldon/Penny
Fic Title: Green With Something

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13 / no warnings.
Genre: None given.
WIP?: No; complete oneshot.
Why This Must Be Read: Penny in green body paint! Sheldon cosplaying as Spock! Nerd trash talking!
cereal is probably the most recommended author in the fandom, and for good reason; she had a lock on Penny's voice that is second to none. It's also nice to see a BBT fic that doesn't draw the obvious parallel between Spock/Uhura and Sheldon/Penny.

Fic Title: The Earth Moved 1,117.7 Miles In Our Kitchen
Author: Written by

Rating/Warning(s): Teen / no warnings.
Genre: None given.
WIP?: No; complete oneshot.
Why This Must Be Read: One of the sweetest S/P stories I've read, and the illustrations are incredible. It's just a short vignette that gives a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the development of Sheldon and Penny's relationship, but the characters feel so well-rounded that the story is as satisfying as any long, plotty fic. Don't miss out on reading the comments, either - there are sketches and drabbles from the creators.

Fic Title: Through Quartz, Sand, and Cellulose

Rating/Warning(s): M / sexual content.
Genre: Romance & hurt/comfort.
WIP?: No.
Why This Must Be Read: This remains one of the most poignant pieces of fiction I've ever read; the feeling the author manages to conjure using characters from a sitcom is sheer wizardry. Dead-on voices and believable development are only bonuses.
If you'd like more S/P fic, I'd recommend taking a look at
sheldon_penny - just about all of the fic in the fandom trickles through there.
