Cheer Up (You Miserable Fuck) by Loz (PG-13)
Hola! I have been having so much fun picking stories for everyone to read and introducing others to the wonder that is Hot Fuzz fanfic. I have a couple more to post today, but I wanted to give a mighty shout-out to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Why this must be read:
Aside from having the most brilliant title ever, this is one of the best stories that addresses Nicholas's adjustment to having a best friend in his life. One can't help but get the impression that he had few friends in London, and had gotten used to that. Loz addresses this and also manages to throw in a wickedly funny conversation comparing Vin Diesel to Chuck Norris. As usual, the greatest strength of this story lies in the natural-sounding banter between Nicholas and Danny. It ends on a beautifully hopeful note that I believe is perfect for the coming year.
Nicholas has been surrounded by people his entire life. His family. His schoolmates. His work colleagues. His various girlfriends across the years. He has sat in groups, listening to conversation, occasionally contributing, watching interactions and understandings. But he's never had a friend. Someone he'd choose to invite round his house simply to be with them, simply for them to be with him. He's rarely spoken about aspirations and dreams, nor even interests with girlfriends. Normally, they've been people he associates with from work and that's taken up most of the discussion until they move into the more physical side of the relationship.
And he's never realised, because he's not usually prone to introspection or navel gazing, but Nicholas has felt lonely his entire life. Not just alone, which is a state of being and can quite easily be spent perfectly content and happy with all that's around you. But lonely, which is a pervading sense of continuous disconnection.
Friendship is a whole new uncharted territory that Nicholas has to navigate through carefully, and he takes it slowly, because he doesn't want to ruin it. He's always afraid he's too enthusiastic, or not enthusiastic enough. That he's either aloof or clingy. And it's stupid, he knows it is, because these are not the average concerns of a thirty-something cop with a flawless track record when it comes to catching criminals and the 100m sprint.
