Sky Blue and Black by Sylvia Bond
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ/website: No
Why this must be read: Originally published in the mixed-media zine Red Hot Lovers. They are best friends, partners, and the department knows that they can pass, so they send them undercover in a gay bar to catch a crook. The problem starts when the guy gets out on a technicality and Hutch swears that he will never let anyone exploit what they are to one another ever again.
"They used us," said Hutch finally. "They used us, who we were, how we work . . . "
"The fact that we're friends?" prompted Starsky.
"More than that." Hutch was shaking his head now, as if he'd already explained everything and Starsky was now disagreeing with him. "We have a bond, a special bond, I.A. knows it, Dobey knows it, Special Investigations knows it. A bond that looks like love."
They are taken through trials and tribulations, from kidnapping to the Blue Sky motel, and many points in between. They push each other, they fight and yell and try to work out what exactly it all means. To move forward, you have to forgive. You have to let go of the past in order to focus on the future. They both have to learn that and accept it. And then they must learn to accept something that they both feel, but couldn't really put into words. They learn to quantify what they really mean to one another. It's an extension of who they are, one more step into the future.
