Why this must be read:

The introduction of Amy Farrah Fowler (Sheldon's new friend who's a girl but not a girlfriend) is still relatively young in the show's canon, so there hasn't been a lot of fic written involving her. Here we see Penny's take on the situation, weighted heavily by her own feelings towards Sheldon; it's sometimes painful, often awkward, but the writing of the pair of them is beautiful and the emotions very real.

She knows if she keeps looking for it, sooner or later she’s going to find his trigger, and when she does, he will go off. She doesn’t know what will happen then; she doesn’t know if she wants to find out, or why sometimes she can think of nothing else. It doesn’t really matter. She moves her hand to his cheek before speaking and doesn’t think much about what she is doing. “Just remember I’m here, honey. If you ever need some advice on girls, or anything at all... I’m your friend. I will help you.”

She doesn’t wait for his reaction. She can’t. He’s shocked enough by her touch, and by the implications behind her words, so at least that buys her a little bit of time to step out of the room at least for a while—her laundry keeps roaring behind her—before he’s had the time to protest, or scream her name so loud that galaxies far, far away can hear it.
