Title: Let Nothing You Dismay
Author: allthingsholy
For: ishie at the sheldon_penny Saturnalia 2011.
Prompt: Penny and Sheldon and the things they're afraid of. (Let’s just SAY that this fits the original prompt.)
Notes: Thanks to juniperlane for the beta.
Summary: Sheldon, Penny, New Year's Eve, and conquering a few fears.
----
( New Year’s Eve is and has always been Penny’s least favorite holiday. Ever since she was a kid, dragged to her parent’s friends’ houses and shunted down to the basement until the wee hours of the morning. Not this year. There's got to be a Law & Order marathon on somewhere. )

Penny looks out into the night, at the buildings and the lights and the city in the distance. They’re not so high up, and it wasn’t the most grandiose gesture she could make while the year slowly winds itself out, but she figures there’s always next year. She feels the breeze lift her hair off the back of her neck and resolves to resolve herself, to go to more auditions or pull out her unfinished screenplay or do something that makes her heart beat as fast as it did when she heaved herself up onto the ledge.
is pretty much all I could ever want from Penny fic, and this:
All in all, it’s a pretty chaste kiss, no tongue or anything (she wants to push Sheldon’s buttons a little bit, not send him into an all-out tailspin), but when she pulls away her heart’s beating a little bit faster and she’s got that stupid brave feeling in her fingertips again. Sheldon, god help him, is wide-eyed and silent, his nails digging into her skin through the thin cotton ( ... )
