I've been watching a lot of old episodes of BBT and I have to admit that it grates occasionally when Leonard constantly makes all those quips about Sheldon. Still, I'd never thought of the Arctic Incident in those terms or that Sheldon and Penny could make a relationship work, though here, they do. I love the barbecue under the stars and speaking of their shared rural childhood. It's adorable.

"Oh, holy Shiva and all his wacky avatars..."

Pure genius! Laughed out loud for real and now ppl are looking on the bus bc I'm giggling awayD

One of my favorite fics out of all the ones I read. Every time i read it it just sucks me in and I can't put it down till the end (and secretly hoping for more, still). Thank you for your work.

This was incredible. You are an amazing writer. You write with such sensitivity and depth of emotion.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. I binged the whole thing in one evening. I had the same feelings about the whole Artctic thing, but hadn’t thought to turn to fan fiction for a fix-it. I’m so glad I found this story!

Holy shit this is my new fav!

great story read it in four hours couldn't stop. i'm suddenly a shenny fan hope to find more hope you write more.

Great fic, very heartwarming. I haven't watched big bang past the arctic trip, the last episode I've seen was when they just get there. I can't believe that they actually did something so spiteful...

Leonard has turned into r/niceguys LMAO

WHY IS THIS FIC TOO GOOD! I NEED SLEEP YOU EVIL PERSON

So Cute Love the Icecream bit so sweet ;)

Go Sheldon!

Yes HELL YAAZZZ!

brilliant!~~~~~

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Thank you!
