OH MY GOD.

I bow in the face of your abilities. Seriously. You had me at the opening when Sheldon tries to Google search his way to an answer and Howard playing defense -- that double standards comment and the whole thing with Stephanie made this very in character btw. Other favorite bits: Raj's phone call to Penny, that entire scene after Priya kicks Leonard out -- which, hi, these are things I wish Leonard would realize about himself on the show but that would require character development, so I'll just take this really exceptional scene -- and the way Sheldon was totally not judging her when he said jewelry wasn't the only thing she takes off when she drinks. Also, I loved the ending and the way you wrote Amy.

Just, really, everything here. Flawless.

He opens the door quietly and immediately doubles back towards the kitchen, pulls a pair of rubber gloves from a cabinet and turns back around sharply.

“Forgive me father, for they have sinned…” he mumbles to himself as he crosses the threshold.I can picture that oh so clearly, and

You are ridiculous and way too nice and give me life, etc etc etc forever and always. I don't know why this ended up so gen, but I guess I just wanted to work out what I meant when I still ship Sheldon/Penny but enjoyed the finale and this word vomit came up as my Ultimate Ideal Situation. I DON'T EVEN KNOW, BUT THANK YOU FOR FINDING IT HALFWAY INTERESTING AND COHERENT. And enjoy the music! Everyone loves a good love triangle-themed emo-fest, AMIRITE?

Your Sheldon is so Sheldon; he's fantastic. I giggled at his insistence about the elephants.

Raj calling Penny was wonderfully done and I liked that he actually got through what he had to say even knowing that she was listening to him.

Leonard's bout of hysteria, especially about the grocery store burning down, cracked me right up.

(Remember, your middle of the night posting is some people's end of the workday entertainment!)

[fujiidom]

Thank you so much. I was trying to make Leonard at least somewhat sympathetic but given the past season it was kind of complicated, so humor was the next best bet. I'm glad that was believable/enjoyable/legible!

(THAT MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY TO HEAR. THANK YOU. I WILL NO LONGER EDIT MY POSTING HABITS BASED ON MY OWN RIDICULOUS CIRCADIAN CYCLES. :D :D)

I could totally see him going into that kind of HOSHIT breakdown mode once Priya kicked him out. And asking her about borrowing milk. *keyboardsmash* I so don't have time to reread this before work but I want to.

Also, the fanmix cover? Could you make me ship them any more? OMFG. I have my BBBB and a queer_fest fic and the remix challenge coming up and all I want to do is drop everything and write something that's about the three of them.

[fujiidom]

HAHA, I am so flattered you like the cover. I made it in the middle of the night on allergy medicine. Where I am at my crackiest. But, even though I don't ship it romantically, I ship the heck out of their friendship. And they're all so attractive, I can definitely see why other people do! You should write them, though! I know several people that would be all over that! (NEGL, myself included.)

That is so great. One thing I live about your writing is how you handle dialogue and the way you can mix all the complexities of several relationships and still keep everything crystal clear. I adored Raj's phone call to Penny, the use of Amy, and the ending (especially the ending).

[fujiidom]

Ugh, thank you. Since this was more gen that I sometimes write, I tried to keep it dialogue heavy (like the show), so I'm happy that wasn't a total failure. THANK YOU SO MUCH, THOUGH. REALLY. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. :D

[jazzfic]

Um. So I come back here and discover you have added MUSIC. I'M SORRY BUT YOU ARE TOO WONDERFUL. &hearts

[fujiidom]

NO, YOU ARE. ♥ ENJOY!

[mellowdee]

FLAW. LESS.

your words, your dialogue.

sheldon googling and urban dictionary-ing.

raj's voicemail. ish.

the prompt 5pm deadline to the video chatting.

words and dialogue pieced together seamlessly.

[fujiidom]

WHAT. THANK YOU. That is really too nice, but I'm so happy you enjoyed it as much as you did. ♥

This was definitely one of the better Big Bang Theory fics I've read. You wrote all the characters so well which to me is really impressive- to get all the voices right. Also, I particularly loved Sheldon googling what was going on and the phone call between Penny and Raj. The fanmix for that fic is lovely as well. :)

[fujiidom]

Aww, thank you. With a lot of dialogue I did try to keep them sounding and acting like themselves. I'm glad you think I did that believably! And I'm happy you enjoyed the mix! :D
