Why this must be read:
To quote The Sound of Music, "Let's start at the very beginning/ A very good place to start." In other words, this story was the first BBT fic I ever read and it was a very good place to start. This hilarious and gloriously in-character fic is probably the fandom's best known story and was a gateway drug for many of us in the fandom.
The fic follows a well-known trope in the fandom, where Penny and Sheldon have to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but it stands out from the rest with sparkling banter between Penny and Sheldon.
Penny smoothes his hair back down and says, "Is it really that ludicrous that we'd ever be in a romantic relationship?" She's feeling a little thoughtful, a little affectionate towards the big freak that is Sheldon.
"Yes," Sheldon says without even hesitating. "I have no interest in romantic relationships. They serve as a distraction and interfere with clarity of thought. That's why Leonard's work is so derivative; he's always thinking about sexual intercourse."
Penny winces. "Please don't say 'intercourse,'" she says. "It's gross."
Sheldon's forehead furrows. "What would you prefer I say? Coitus? Sexual relations? Making love?"
"Oh my God, Sheldon," Penny says. "Sex, okay? Can you just say 'have sex'? Like a normal person?"
Sheldon looks like she's just asked him to wash the dishes with a circular clockwise motion. Like, he doesn't mind, if she really cares that much about something so completely ridiculous, but he doesn't really see the point. Actually, when she thinks about it, he'd probably see the point more of washing the dishes with a circular clockwise motion than of this. "If you prefer the more colloquial version, I suppose I can," Sheldon says. "Leonard's work is so derivative because he's always thinking about having sex."
"Thank you," Penny says.
"And I have no interest in having sex," Sheldon says.

I adore the show, and though I'm ambivalent about Sheldon/Penny in the actual show, they make for wonderful fic!
This one is awesome:)

I'm pretty ambivalent about Sheldon/Penny in canon, too, but it's been handled really well in a lot of fic.
