Black and Bruised by Rosemary (NC-17)

Heya, I'm MistoKitt and I'll be your Starsky & Hutch driver for March! I have the attention span of an earthworm, so I have a tendancy to lean toward shorter fics, with the occasional longer fic thrown in for good measure. I'm also a bit of a first time junkie, so you can expect quite a few of those on the list this month. And so, let's start out a hopefully smooth ride with...

Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tiranog
Author Website: none

Why this must be read:

A rift has developed between the partners, and while Hutch has known about it all along, Starsky finally starts to take notice when he tries to help nurse his injured partner back to health.
Originally published in the zine TLC, this is one of those hurt/comfort stories that just makes you turn angsty one moment and full of warm fuzzies the next. The author's writing style is one of my favorites to date. She manages to get everything in there, from perfect imagery to believable dialogue.



The mattress seemed to soak up his tension, the sheet and blanket silkily flowing over him as Starsky tucked him in. "You need anything? Water, pain pill?"

Just you, he thought. For a horrified moment, Hutch thought he had actually spoken aloud, but his partner's uninterrupted calm told him that wasn't the case. "No, I'm fine. Where you going now?"

"Huh?"

"Three days off. Thought you must have made some pretty big plans for the weekend. You and Meredith..."

"I'm not goin' anywhere," Starsky cut in, his gaze locked in shadow.

"She did a pretty good job, huh?" The words were thick, sleep-fogged.

"Why all this sudden interest in Meredith? You're supposed to be restin'."

"...Never said you wanted 'nother partner before..." Hutch mumbled.

The last thing he saw before his eyelids drooped shut was the start Starsky gave as his words registered.

I always felt odd about that episode because even I could feel the pain and love Hutch was feeling, the hurt he experienced with Starsky taking on another partner and loving her like he never loved Hutch. Great rec:)
