So, why don't you write it, as an AU fanfic?

I will think about it.

I hope you guys are having fun rewatching. I'm consoling myself by going to tumblr and rewatching their scenes when the mood strikes me. There's no way I'm wading through all the rest.

I´ve been thinking about how the story of our beloved couple could continue in season 10 and which episodes could await us.

It would be great, if they would show another birthday of Sheldon, but this time Sheldon disappeared, because he found out, what they have planned. So everyone searches for him, but they don´t finnd him. So everyone goes home tired. When Amy arrives at home, the door bell rings.

As she opens, she sees that it is Sheldon, who says that he ran away, because he hates surprise parties and that the only person he wants to spend his birthday with is Amy. So he asks her if that would be ok, if they would spent the rest of the day at her place, eating chinese food and a cake he has brought with him, while they watch his favorite TV show (I´m sure Amy still has the DVD box of Star Trek Sheldon once gave her).

Amy agrees happily and Sheldon goes further, offering her to extend it to a sleepover and helds his toilet bag up, his eyebrows wiggling, while he smiles.

I think another birthday story about Sheldon's dislike of surprise parties would feel a bit redundant and too repetitive at this point so I wouldn't be thrilled about that.

BUT I like the general idea of Sheldon being annoyed by whatever happens in 4A so that he seeks sanctuary in Amy's apartment and they spent the day/night together.

I miss the sibling fighting between Penny and Sheldon so it would be funny if they went at it again, Leonard siding with Penny, and drove him over to Amy's for a day or two, them sleeping in the same bed.  Think how cute it would be for a scene of Amy waking up the first morning to find herself wrapped up in Sheldon's arms as he spooned her.  That would be a big 'Aww' moment.

I love that! As said up-thread I'm currently rewatching the show and I'm at the beginning of S3 so their fights are fresh in my mind. I don't have a problem with Sheldon and Penny getting along for the most part these days but if they really want to play this "sibling" thing everybody who has one knows that it isn't all sunshine and rainbows all the time and a funny confrontation between those two is long overdue - especially since they're partly living together now. Plus, anything that gets us closer to the living arrangements being addressed is a good thing in my book! ;D

I would like some balance between who sides with who. While I do enjoy the Penny and Sheldon friendship (and don't see it as even a minimal threat to Shamy) it was a bit overhanded the last season(sometimes). I think an episode with them at odds would be refreshing. Not have them always at each other's throats, but still—some variety would be nice. 

[SRAM]

You know it would be so easy and funny to write an episode encompassing this without be mean.  Penny could leave a piece of underwear out, Sheldon gets grossed out and applies a penalty.  Penny escalates it by being even a worse mess, tells a reluctant Leonard he has to go along with her because he is her husband, then she finally drives Sheldon out with strategically positioned dirty socks.  Amy at first loves Sheldon with her but then understands he has been wronged, his beloved 0,0,0,0 ( spot) unfairly taken away from him.  So we have a short Shamy vs Lenny and this time Amy and Leonard come to an agreement Sheldon and Penny must abide to.  I repeat it could be a very funny episode, and it would be like old times.

[mirs1]

In one of his last interviews about the living arrangements, Molaro told that, albeit they are not in a hurry to change ("fix" seems a more appropriate word to me, but whatever....) them, but there's plenty of room to experiment stuff. I would like that those experiments involve Shamy and Lenny living alone at least temporarily; a good idea could be  the one Sram had, an "old style" fight between Penny and Sheldon, would be hilarious. I'm also re-watching old seasons and, as long as I love their relationship right now, the two of them were so funny when they were at loggerheads with each other over some of Sheldon's absurd rules...Or there could be some plumbing problem at 4A, so that Lenny should live in 4B for a while and Sheldon should be at Amy's apartment. Maybe some time alone in 4B would suit Lenny, and they could bring up again the idea of moving out permanently...Wishful thinking, I know, LOL!!!

I wouldn't be opposed to having an episode when Sheldon moves out and lives with Amy temporarily  because of disagreement with Penny over something trivial providing it's a playful episode and not one filled with angst. If the episode is seen or used as another stick to beat a particular character with then I would rather not see it happen. But if the episode leads to Sheldon realizing he is ready to live with Amy then I would be all for it.

I've always maintained the view that if the living arrangement situation is to be resolved I would want to see it done peacefully and in a friendly well mannered way rather than the usual conflict and angst we have seen when the subject has been approached in the past. Also I hold the view that Sheldon should be the one to initiate a change in the living arrangement situation. This is not because this is the 'Sheldon Show' as some people claim but simply that Sheldon is the one who is the clear barrier to a change and that if he is now ready then it can be done in a peaceful way and it will show growth of his character.

I agree, ideally it should be handled amicably between the three of them. However, I don't think Sheldon is the "clear barrier" here. I mean, sure, the fact that he's very emotional every time the prospect of Lenny moving together into 4B comes up isn't helping at all. But I think Lenny are just as much at "fault" here as well. Leonard is shown to be somewhat reluctant to let go of his life with Sheldon and Penny, bless her heart, is coddling him more than is good for him. It takes two to tango (or in this case three) and I think all parties involved need to have that realisation that it's time for a change.

I would love to have a parallel story line with Lenny and Shamy both coming to that conclusion, maybe indeed because 4A is temporarily uninhabitable, forcing them into this situation and them realising that, hey, this isn't so bad. It would be a sweet story for both couples. <3 Lenny haven't really been shown "living" in 4B even though they supposedly do that at least part-time, so Leonard spending more time there than usual could be funny. And likewise Sheldon settling into 314 for a short while surely will come with its own challenges but I'd love to see how Amy deals with that. In the past she has been insisting how she would be the perfect room mate and even Sheldon concluded in 9x04 she would be the best candidate - it would be fun to see that put to the test in 314 if the writers would really want to experiment before they break up the current 4A situation.

I'd rather they have no more Shenny scenes in Season 10.

Maybe I've absorbed some of the Sheldon hate around here or been brainwashed into thinking he is the only problem when it comes to living arrangements. I would agree there is likely some reluctance that Leonard or Penny might have about moving (Penny perhaps more than Leonard as she does seem to be having a bit of a minor mid-life crisis) but I do believe that they would move out pretty quickly to 4B if Sheldon told them he was ready to live on his own or move Amy in.

A storyline I thought of is perhaps there is a leak in the apartment above and it comes through the ceiling of 4A. Lenny move into 4B, Sheldon obviously wants to move into 4B with them but they have their usual comedy and angst and Sheldon goes to live with Amy. After a few trials and tribulations Sheldon realizes he wants to live with Amy or at least live with her on a trial basis at first. Sheldon and Lenny meet up in 4A after the repairs, Lenny tell Sheldon they want to move into 4B, Sheldon surprisingly says he wants to live in 4A on his own for now but Amy will stay over for a few days a week until he gets used to living with her full time. Move done with no angst.

Well, this is the Shamy thread, you're allowed to like Sheldon here! ;D

Yeah, if Sheldon told Lenny that he was ready for them to move out that would certainly make things easier. But their attempts to move to 4B always seem kinda half-hearted to me so I feel this clinging to the status quo comes from all of them right now.

The subject also always seems to be brought up at bad times, Sheldon having a career crisis and Sheldon just been dumped by the woman he loves for example.

I genuinely believe that he is ready to live with Amy even though at first it's going to be difficult for him and there will undoubtedly be issues until they get to that happy point. He's thinking of marrying her, not even Sheldon could realistically suggest that they get married but not live together. Writers if you even remotely suggest that in joke form I will kill you! (not literally).

Haha, yes, that as well. Lenny have the uncanny ability of picking the worst moments to bring it up. lol Hopefully they'll have better luck next time! ;D

I agree. I often think Sheldon is more "ready" for a lot of things than people give him credit for. The main reason being (for me anyway) that the writers already threw all the necessary ingredients into the pot and it's all just slowly stewing there over the years. So whenever they're ready to write the next step there's a solid foundation there that makes it all plausible.

Moving in together? 9x04 already suggests that when Lenny move out Amy will be the first choice to fill the vacancy.

Engagement? Sheldon has the ring already and even Amy knows about it.

Heck, how about kids? They've been planning for their potential offspring basically since they met. LOL

It's all kinda linked though so most of those developments hinge on Lenny moving into 4B eventually. The moment they make the move things will also move forward for Shamy in some form. And as you say, it probably won't all run smoothly and some issues adjusting to the new situation will happen but that also opens up the possibilities for new funny scenarios.

[3ku11]

Well IMO Lenny don't progress till Shamy do. So we should be all on the same page. We all want Lenny to move out. And I Would like Amy to take Leonards Room. Well after we see some comedy have not seen since Staircase implementation s3. Sheldon interviewing prospective Roommates, too much comedy potential their. Then Amy eventually moves in haha.

We have already seen Sheldon interviewing possible roommates in 9.04 and, at the end of it, he acknowledged that his perfect roommate is just Amy. I wouldn't want an episode like this now, because I don't think Amy would appreciate that her boyfriend, who supposedly has a ring for her somewhere, is contemplating living with some random stranger rather than building a future with her.  And, honesty, I don't think Sheldon would want a roommate at this point of his life, it would mean regressing, after all the progresses in his life this past season. My ideal solution is that, whenever Lenny move out, Sheldon lives by himself for a little while, since that is something he has never experimented on the show (apart from the short period Leonard was on his expedition in the North Sea) having a sort of "trial" period with Amy sleeping over on a regular bases. After that, Amy should move in.

Well I am just saying this because its a Comedy. Amy moving in ain't funny. Not saying she won't move in. 9x04 wasen't really that funny. I am sure that was trying to find a new gf? In any case, I Think they could do a better job. IF now Lenny well move out. Besides Sheldon for years has distanced himself from the idea of living with Amy. So woulden't it be typical Sheldon to deny Amy living with him? Like Sheldon said you just got my viriginty cool your jets. 

Nope, not at this point. And as @mirs1 said they already did the "Sheldon searches for new room mate" joke so that would be terribly repetitive and unfunny. Amy moving in however has a huge potential for comedy because it's a completely new situation for the characters and seeing how they have to adjust to living together is ripe for plenty of jokes.

Whether or not the writers will capitalise on that is of course a different issue. I always thought Lenny living in 4A would also give us some comedy but that ended up being kinda pointless for the most part. ugh

I think there will definitely be some experimentation in season 10 like Molaro said so we can expect sleepovers etc, but L and P moving out and Amy moving in, I don't know. Let's wait and see first what will happen with the sex thing and the ring thing.

Like April said I think there is plenty of comedy to be had if Amy and Sheldon lived together and them both trying to make it work. I have no doubt there would be some drama and bumps along the road early on but in the end it would work out.

Sheldon has changed and grown, he may now be at the point where he is ready to live with Amy you would certainly think so if he is contemplating asking her to marry him. I think if the writers had any sense they would embrace more changes and progress on the Shamy front as they have been together overall for a while now and they have come a long way between Season 4 to the present.

There has always been a fear with the the writers about how much you change the characters as they grow and have new experiences and how quickly they implement that change. I can understand that fear as this is a highly successful show and tinkering it can potentially lead to problems, but I think they could speed up the Shamy quite a bit now after some momentous milestones have been reached and the fan-base would be fine with that.

Absolutely.

Who wouldn't want to live with Amy?
