Bend Hard by Basingstoke (PG-13)

[goddessdster.livejournal.com]

Hi there! goddessdster here with your first Hot Fuzz rec. I will admit to being an unapologetic slasher (and this is one movie that begs for slashing), but I will try to be balanced in my choices for everyone.

Fandom: Hot Fuzz
Pairing: Nicholas/Danny
Length: 1089 words
Author on LJ: basingstoke
Author Website: snogging puppets
Why this must be read:

For those who may not have picked it up while watching the movie: Nicholas and Danny are love. There were no other romantic interests (see dr_tectonic's comment in the overview for a further explanation), no cute kids, nothing to distract or sway the viewer away from their burgeoning relationship.

Bend Hard, in just over 1000 words, gives us the quintessential Nicholas/Danny story. It is touching, a little sad, and righteously funny. Also, the first Hot Fuzz story I read, easily cementing me to this fandom.

Aw I love that fic too! The Danny voice is just so perfect, as it Nicholas' reactions. Awesome choice! ♥

This was one of the first Hot Fuzz fics I read, too, and it was nice revisiting it. ♥

...why the hell did I spell "story" with two R's?

You were feeling Scottish?

This was one of my favorites, and probably close to my first in the fandom, if not THE first. Thanks for the revisit!
