[thescaryflower]

s09ep21 of the big bang theory is such an incredible indicator of shenny. like amy is annoyed that sheldon goes to penny for everything instead of her. yeah girl because sheldon is more comfortable with her and they're meant to be together?

someone should (please) write a fic that follows through from that episode where amy stays mad at sheldon and penny and sheldon realize they're meant to be. idk maybe amy and leonard can get together. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone know of any

Shenny fanfic set in Season 08 Episode 16? It seems like prime fanfiction material to me.

Bonus points if it includes Leonard/Amy.

[rostalgia]

I do love them together.

The Statistic Infuriation - One Shot

“What did you want to talk about?” Leonard rubbed at his arms, Sheldon knew that the shorter man hated the cold. “Sheldon?” Leonard finally turned to look at him when he didn’t reply. “Why do you have tha-”

Had anyone else been near, they would have heard the thump of pressurized air quickly leaving a container, followed shortly by the thump of something heavy hitting the floor, like a body. Luckily for Sheldon, he knew this basement level was empty and would continue to be so for the next four hours before the cleaning crew came in for their scheduled shift.

He didn’t have time to spare.

Hernandez hated these types of suspects, they always thought they were smarter than everyone else. Unfortunately for him, this man might actually be the genius he thought he was.

“Mr. Cooper.”

“Doctor Cooper.”

“Right. Dr. Cooper.” Hernandez sighed in annoyance while sharing a look with his partner. Anderson looked calm but he knew that she was ready to throw this guy in a cell as well. “We just need you to tell us if you know the location of Leonard Hofstadter.”

“Cooperating with us will go a long way Mr. Cooper.” Anderson added, while her good looks and smooth voice usually endeared her to the suspects, on this occasion it seemed to have the opposite effect.

“I’m not Mr. Cooper. I’m Dr. Cooper.” The suspect narrowed his eyes and ground out.

They had done their rounds of questioning, so he knew, while Sheldon Cooper might be a genius, he had flaws just like everyone else. One word that kept coming up as they interviewed people was ‘Egocentric’.

He would slip up and they would be there to catch him when he did.

“Of course, my apologies. Dr. Cooper, do you know the location of Leonard Hofstadter? You were one of the last people that saw him.” Hernandez thought that Anderson was always too soft. Security cameras showed that Dr. Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter were in the Physics wing of the University’s labs that Friday night. Leonard and Dr. Cooper were seen entering in the morning and only Dr. Cooper left late at night.

There were security cameras at every entrance but sadly none inside the actual building. And no one had heard or seen anything. Their own lab boys showed that there were no traces of blood, the cadaver dogs returned nothing and for all intents and purposes the labs were pristine.

“Could you please loosen these?” Dr. Cooper lifted his handcuffed hands. “I bruise easily.”

Hernandez had enough and he slammed both hands against the interrogation table. Anderson flinched but Dr. Cooper remained calm. “Okay, that’s it you son of a bitch! You clearly know something and you’re going to tell us or I swear that you will never see the light of day again!” He was laying it thick, but he needed to be the bad cop so Anderson could charm him with her empathy.

Dr Cooper blinked at him. “I know something? Well that’s true. I know that I had my right to make a call. Which I did, and now we’re just wasting time until someone with more authority comes and lets me go.” Dr. Cooper looked bored as he boasted that.

Anderson laughed and Hernandez knew that she had switched from good cop to worse cop. “I’ll enjoy seeing you break.” True venom in her voice, gloves were coming off and if he was honest with himself, he wanted this. Wanted to see this piece of shit break and beg.

Dr. Cooper blinked at Anderson. “Detective Hernandez.” It was creepy that he addressed him while looking at someone else. “Allow me to tell you something that I know.”

“Go ahead smartass.” Hernandez spit out.

“Did you know that last year, in 2015, in just one day there were over 2000 adults and children seeking support due to being victims of domestic violence? Less than 50% of those cases received timely support from the authorities. And in those cases that did receive support, most won’t make it to court, and the few that do make it to court, over 75% of them fail to receive a restraining order in the first hearing, putting them at further risk.”

Hernandez turned to look at Anderson and saw that she looked as confused as he felt. This took a turn that neither were expecting.

“Don’t you think it’s disgraceful that 35% of women in California suffer from some form of abuse? That’s 1 in every 3 women.” Dr. Cooper shook his head in disgust.

“Dr. Cooper, what are you-” Anderson tried to say before he continued.

“1 in 4 women suffer severe physical violence from their romantic partner and only about 30% seek medical attention for their injuries.” While he had remained emotionless, for the first time they saw him express an emotion. Disgust.

Hernandez felt like the shoe was dropping, he turned to look at Anderson and she pointed at the file in her hands.

Leonard Hofstadter had been dating his neighbor until she requested police intervention due to violence. The responding officer claimed it was a lover’s quarrel and refused to detain Leonard.

“Dr. Cooper…is…was?...” Anderson looked at a loss and turned to him for help, he wasn’t known for being delicate.

“Dr. Cooper. Sheldon. Was your roommate abusing his girlfriend?” There, it was out for all to see.

Dr. Copper glanced at his wrists and ignored his question. “Intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crime. Isn’t that a ridiculous number?” That disgust again.

Anderson was reading Leonard’s file in more detail and she pointed out another report to him. The cops were called a second time on Leonard, this time because of stalking. His ex-girlfriend claimed that Leonard was harassing her at work.

And once again the police failed to act.

“Dr. Cooper…what did you do?” Anderson didn’t sound angry, just shocked.

The door opening suddenly and violently prevented Dr. Cooper from answering.

“This interview is over.” A rough looking guy with a pure Texas accent, wearing an FBI windbreaker entered the room and turned off the recording. “We’re taking over this case. I’m agent Cohle and that’s my partner, agent Hart.” He pointed towards a smirking older man that entered the interrogation room, Hernandez only got a glimpse but he hated that smirk already.

“Now, hold on a minute!” He tried to protest but agent Hart shoved a bunch of papers in his hands.

“Orders from above.” Hart said mockingly.

Agent Cohle removed the handcuffs from Dr. Cooper and the man rubbed at his wrists while grimacing a little.

Hernandez skimmed the contents of the papers and then passed them over to Anderson. Everything looked in order, Anderson’s shocked face confirmed she agreed.

“Dr. Cooper. Your friend is waiting for you, we took the liberty of calling her.”

“Thank you agent Cohle.” Dr. Copper glanced at Hernandez and gave him a short nod before doing the same for Anderson and then moving towards the exit.

“Everything’s in order.” Anderson muttered low at him unnecessarily. He doubted they could do anything even if something was fishy.

“That man is a suspect in a missing person’s case!” He yelled at the FBI agents once Dr. Cooper left the room, his rage barely contained.

“We’ll take your concerns into consideration for our investigation. Now, drop it before you suddenly find yourself without a pension.” Cohle told him bluntly and without care.

“We’ll also be taking everything you have on Dr. Cooper.” Hart added, smirk still painted on his face.

Hernandez wanted to tell them to go to hell but he thought of his children, of his bad knee and about how close he was to finally paying off the mortgage. “Goddamn it.” He spat out and moved to go smoke a cigarette on the rooftop.

He didn’t need to look to know that Anderson was following him close behind.

On the rooftop he struggled to light his cigarette until Anderson did it for him. He was shaking in anger and impotence. Goddamn feds.

“Look.” Anderson leaned on her elbows on the half wall of the roof and pointed towards the parking lot.

Taking a drag of his cigarette he did just that and saw Dr. Cooper and a blonde girl talk as they walked towards a banged up car.

The girl suddenly turned and even as far away as they were, both Anderson and Hernandez couldn’t mistake the yellow-green bruise that adorned half the girl’s face.

Goddamn it.

Hernandez sighed and crushed the cigarette under his shoe. “Let it go Anderson, I know that look you have.”

“But we know he did it!” She argued.

“Did what? There’s no body, no evidence, no crime scene, no confession…we got nothing.” He said, resigned.

“So we’re just supposed to let it go?” She scoffed.

“Yes. You don’t want the feds as your enemy. Trust me.” Lesson number one and he wasn’t going to lose any sleep over one less abuser in the world.

“I…This isn’t why I joined the state police.” Anderson sighed and grabbed at her face.

“Think of your kid, Anderson. You don’t want her to live in a world where you’re behind bars.”

Anderson sighed. “This is bullshit.”

“Another day, another dime.” Hernandez moved to head back into the building. He was getting too old for this shit.

Not to mention the paperwork alone was going to be a nightmare.

“But…” Anderson started and something in her voice made him turn to look at her. She was looking at where Dr. Cooper and the girl had been. “But I guess that I can understand why Dr. Cooper did it, if some asshole touched my daughter I truly don’t know how I would react.” A conflicted look on her face as she turned to face him.

“I know. I don’t…I don’t know either.” That was a lie, if someone touched any of his kids he would kill the son of a bitch responsible for it.

“I thought growing up would mean things would get easier…what a fucking joke.” She spat and moved to follow him inside.

“Tomorrow is another day.” Hopefully tomorrow the world would make sense again. He scoffed, yeah right.

3 years later.

“Hey Moonpie, what’s this?” Penny held a jar that had some sort of dust. They were finally moving into a new house and she found this jar in one of Sheldon’s boxes.

Sheldon tilted his head and blinked. “Oh, those are ashes.” And he went back to unpacking his books.

“Ashes?” She frowned. “What do you need ashes for?”

“Nothing, you can throw them away. They’re useless.”

Penny shrugged and did just that. They didn’t need more crap than they already had.

Especially as they started a new life together.

"Why would you even have these?" She asked after throwing them into a garbage bag.

"Were you aware that ash is used in cooking around the world? Not only for preservation of certain foods, like goat cheese, but also to give food a bitter and smoky flavor that-" Penny enjoyed these lectures that Sheldon gave her about everyday stuff, it was a habit that started years back for very unpleasant reasons, but even then, his voice helped her calm down and find peace.

Penny smiled. Wackadoodle.

HAPPY FIFTEENTH SHENNY LOVEMAKING ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE

[rostalgia]

"Hey Sheldon?" A slightly inebriated Penny asked, twirling her fork in her leftover spaghetti. "Did you ever have your first kiss?"

"Yes. Though I should note that none were initiated by me," Sheldon said matter-of-factly. "Three separate women have kissed me without warning. Two women from work were apparently enticed by my uniqueness before laughing behind my back, and Beverly Hofstadter while intoxicated."

Penny's fork clattered against her plate, her drunken state amplifying the vision. She knows it all too well. How dare anyone take advantage of her whackadoodle.

"Penny?" Sheldon looked up at the sound, only to find her staring at him, eyes brimming with tears. "Have I said something wrong?"

"They made fun of you," she whispered, her voice thick. "They all made fun of you, then just... just decided they could kiss you whenever they wanted?"

"Well, yes. Though I fail to see why this upsets you. People generally find me disagreeable until they require my assistance with something."

A tear slipped down Penny's cheek. "Oh, sweetie..."

"Now you're crying. I don't understand." He shifted uncomfortably. "These incidents occurred years ago."

"I'm crying because you think it's normal!" Her voice cracked. "Because my brilliant, wonderful whackadoodle just accepts being treated like... like some toy people can mock and then use whenever they feel like it!"

"I wasn't a toy, Penny. I was working."

More tears fell. "That's even worse. You don't even see..." She had to stop, overwhelmed by protective fury and heartache for her friend. "They had no right to treat you that way. No right to touch you without asking, especially not after being mean to you!"

Sheldon tilted his head, genuinely puzzled by her distress. "But everyone wants something from me eventually. That's how social relationships work."

"No!" Penny reached across the table, stopping just short of touching his hand. "That's not... God, Sheldon, is that what you think friendship is? People being mean until they need something from you?"

He blinked at her tears. "You seem very emotional about this."

"Because somebody should be! Because you deserve better than people who only want you when it's convenient for them!"

Sheldon was quiet for a moment, studying her tear-streaked face with growing confusion. "You're crying... for me?"

That innocent question only made her cry harder.

"Oh dear." He carefully slid his napkin toward her. "I didn't mean to distress you."

"I'm not distressed, I'm mad!" But even as she said it, she was wiping her eyes with his offered napkin. "I'm mad at anyone who ever made you think you weren't worth basic respect and... and consent!"

"Penny..."

"No, listen to me." She took a shaky breath. "You are not a toy. You are not a... a vending machine that people get to be mean to until they want something from you. You are my best friend and you deserve so much better than that."

Sheldon sat very still, processing this. "I've upset you."

"You didn't upset me, sweetie. They did." She gave him a watery smile. "And if anyone ever tries to kiss you without asking again..."

"You'll 'go Nebraska' on them?"

"Damn right I will."

Sheldon watched another tear roll down her cheek, and something uncomfortable twisted in his chest. He didn't understand why she was so upset about things that had happened years ago, but seeing her cry - over him, for him - was somehow worse than all those unwanted kisses combined.

Before he could overthink it, he stood up and walked around the table. Penny looked up at him in confusion, her eyes still wet.

"Sheldon?"

"I find," he said carefully, "that I don't like seeing you cry. Especially not about me." Then, with movements that were only slightly stiff, he bent down and wrapped his arms around her.

Penny froze for a moment, shocked. Sheldon didn't initiate hugs. Ever. But here he was, holding her awkwardly but determinedly, trying to offer comfort in a way that was far outside his comfort zone.

"Oh, sweetie," she whispered, carefully returning the hug.

"I don't understand why this upsets you so much," he murmured against her hair. "But I don't like it. Please stop crying?"

That only made fresh tears spill over, but she managed a wobbly smile he couldn't see. "You're kind of making it worse by being so sweet."

"That seems counterproductive."

She gave a watery laugh and squeezed him gently. "Thank you, Sheldon."

"For making you cry more?"

"For being you.”
