Reviews for The Cheerleader-Nerd Equation
johnson.quatavia chapter 48 . 11/1/2019
Okay this is one of my favorite Lenny stories. Took forever to find a favorite read of the teenage them. I hate that it is coming to an end for me and have found myself slowly reading to enjoy it longer. There has to be a sequel, right? I just have to know what happened at or after college. Anyway, great writing. I have fallen in love!

Wow, what a great story this was. Loved all of it and the way you wrote it. You should write a sequel to this one with them in New Jersey and onwards living together. Thanks for writing.

I love this concept and really enjoy your take on the Lenny interaction. If you get stuck for an idea for another story you could always do the Cheerleader nerd the college years as a sequel. I know I would read it.

When there is very little to read about Leonard and Penny, it is always nice to go back and reread such a touching story as this.

When i first read this and was thinking of my review i was going to make fun of you for that incredibly cheesy ending line, however i feel like i am no longer in a position to make fun of ANYONE for being cheesy so... maybe now ill just say that a little cheese never hurts! Well maybe it hurts Leonard. Anyway, random start to a review but whatever. I am proper sad that this has ended it was so weird not having it to read this Monday, but all good things must come to an end i guess! (cheese) And i do like that you ended it where you did though. If you had taken the story on through to their life in New Jersey it probably wouldnt have been the same since this was really a high school story and they wouldnt be in high school anymore. She wouldn't be a cheerleader and he wouldnt be the nerd. Okay well no i guess he would but in Princeton everyone is a nerd so its not the same. Also Wyatt and Meryl wouldnt have been around and i loved reading about them in this story they were just so sweet and realistically flawed so i dont think i would have enjoyed the story as muh without them in it. Their little goodbye to Penny was just adorable i loved that Wyatt was getting all like YOU BETTER BEHAVE YOUNG LADY! Ah and now i can just imagine all the fun Leonard and Penny will have in New Jersey and LIVING TOGETHER NEXT YEAR! omg i was like woah that is such a big deal! Talk about planning ahead! i love that they have the confidence that their relationship will hold strong that long to be able to make that kind of decision. AND KIM! ENGAGED! LIKE WHAAAAAAAAT! I did not see that coming not even for a second! And it sounded like such a cute proposal too well done Sandy! (OMG their ship name is Kandy. KANDY! KANDY AND BOSH) (That just reminded me im still the only person to know Bridgets little back story. GO ME!) This really has been a fantastic story and one that i wasn't all too sure i would properly love at the beginning cos i've never really been a fan of high school AU's but this definitely changed that. So yeah, it's sad seeing it go but you should be super proud of yourself cos you managed to create a wonderful story. GO YOU!

OH! WOW...sooo sad to see this one end, Mondays will have no bright side now. We need a new story from you now, sorry sorry just being a needy baby greedy baby.
it's amazing how far you have brought these two :
Leonard having the confidence to tease penny now and her being able to open up to her feelings for him and show how committed she is to their relationship by wanting to move in together.
I'm surprised that them moving in together and kim's engagement didn't come to light in the car although I doubt that either of their heads would have survived.
you put across her parents reactions to her leaving so well, both showing not only how proud but how much they will miss her. wyatts rules are so funny and maybe not so in the dark about what they got up to in her bed. hahaha a great cheesy line and look back at the sign.
What an excellent ending to the wonderful journey you have taken us on.
Thanks for this wonderful piece of work.

Sad to see the story end but it was good all the way through. Would love to see how they navigate the college years and moving in together if you get motivated to write a sequel of any kind.

I'm smiling so hard right now. Such an appropriate closing chapter for this work! You guided us through so many closing moments here, it is difficult to select what to comment on.

I'm going to touch on the demeanor you have given Penny. From a frustrated, quick to anger teenager, she has blossomed into a young woman confident in her academics, solid and loyal about her interactions with family and friends, and most of all in a mature, loving relationship with someone who shares a devotion and love of her as his partner.

A very true point you make in her conversation with Kim. Yes. She is an adult. Yes. She is embarking on an adult relationship away from home. Yes she has decided (a mutual decision with her partner) to deepen that relationship in the near future by living together. BUT, there is still a sense (a mature sense, btw) of holding back a little. As a now college freshman, she is going to wait on that final relationship step. We all know that things between the couple will deepen in New Jersey! Making that step a natural progression in that relationship.

65 chapters regularly updated is quite an accomplishment. Even more so, in the successful manner with the story you have given us. I looked back at Chapter 1 before reading this-"Tentatively, Leonard cleared his throat as he approached the table at which the blonde girl...". That link to your ending line perfectly wraps things up! Congratulations T/W. And as always, thank you for writing!

Loved the story. Sad that it is over. Will miss it.

Awww! Lovely! Love that they rode off into the new day! Wonderfully done!

It was an exceptional story satisfying all my Lenny hopes and dreams. It exercised every emotion always drawing me back for more. There will be something missing on Mondays now and I'm sure I'll forget sometimes and wonder why I don't see the email header "Fanfiction Chapter: The Cheerleader-Nerd Equation."

Well they certainly kept the suprise well, good job he had his inhaler with him. it's adorable how he manages to put her at ease and calm her nerves even when woken up in the middle of the night. you have touched so subtly the theme from the show on how much of an affect Amy has had on Sheldon when he changed his opinion of penny's academic persuits.
the girls are becoming firmer friends relying on each other more and more.
leonard has the knack of how to stop her panicking and doing one of his traits. ...Over thinking, but when she speaks to him her thoughts go from the exam to him and prom.
aww meryl and wyatt trying to play down the importance of the grades she gets just in case they where bad and then being so proud of her.
Thanks for the great update, pity there's only one more.

Leonard : romance ninja, I knew he wouldn't let our girl down especially on her eighteenth birthday and he was in cahoots with meryl and Bridget definitely part of the family. I do like how you have not only penny but also both Amy and bernadette, realise how much they have helped each other.
when she wants him to be the first to know about the letter from college shows how important he now is in her life.
You continually manage to capture them all so in character from raj, now not only taking to girls but having had two girlfriends, to Howard creeping penny out as soon as he entered the room and then Sheldon not even acknowledging her until he got his way that she was leaving.
The final scene at the airport was perfect with Leonard's gift of his mathletes jacket and her wearing it proudly.
Thanks for the great update.

Great story, really enjoyed it, thank you. It was like watching Penny go from a girl to a young woman in all those chapters, sort of giving up her selfish childish ways to actually see the big picture of what life had to offer if she just tried to go out there and get it. I really liked how you had it end, them both now going off to college, to start their adventure together, very nice. Great story.

Profoundly bad. Truly awful. And what's worst of all, you don't even see it, do you? I was truly hoping that you would surprise us and correct it, the glaring atrocity in this abysmal story. Not only do you continually write Penny horribly, but you gave her no hopes or dreams of her own! She totally surrendered herself just to follow a boy to New Jersey! Although you had her studying, you never had her develop any interests in anything, you never even once flashed a desire to act. Something that excited her and she could strive for. You never gave her any dreams, any values, anything above and beyond having underaged sex. She is a young woman with the world ahead of her and you have your version of trailer trash just latching onto a man, not even trying to achieve anything on her own. Horrible. Completely horrible and a fucking awful message to send. Shame on you.
