Title: Through Quartz, Sand, and Cellulose

Pairing/Character: Sheldon/Penny
Rating: MA

Summary: Sheldon gets some help dealing with leftover grief of his father's death from Penny. Lifelong friendship ensues. One-shot.
Spoilers: Minor spoilers throughout, kind of AU by the end

A/N: Hey, so I had a death in the family (grandfather, almost not as bad as parents, like there's a way to judge) and this is how I deal with my issues. Ha. These two just seem like very innocent and delicate with one another's grief that the progression seemed natural to me. Sorry if it's kind of depressing, or takes any leaps in character that you didn't find convincing. I did it all for my own amusement, honestly, so whatever. Also, The Wolf by Miniature Tigers kind of egged me on to make it more than just the build-up, so if you enjoy a good epilogue/ending, thank them not me. Oh, yeah and I have a series I was supposed to be working on, whoops. Take this while I fix up the next chapter of that in the mean time!
