Crystal Blue Persuasion by Flamingo (NC-17)
Fandom: Starsky and Hutch
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ: No
Author Website:Starsky and Hutch Slash Archive
Why this must be read:Set three months after the events of Shootout, Crystal Blue Persuasion is Starsky's attempt to get Hutch to move past the shooting and on to "better" things. This means having Italian food at that restaurant. Of course, Hutch is resistant, but not just because of the memories of the shooting. It seems he's been harboring feelings of lust and love for his partner (and really, who wouldn't?), but the poor thing thinks it can never be. Hutch is nervous (especially with the blue mood lighting), and a bit on edge (especially with Starsky trying to re-create the painful events of that night). And Starsky doesn't make things any better by being charming, flirty, and thoroughly confusing to the hapless blond throughout the evening.
He stared wide-eyed as if they were about to face a whole town armed against them instead of just the front door of an innocuous restaurant. Starsky looked back at him intently, his darkly-lashed cobalt eyes narrowed, slitted like a cat's. It was the kind of expression he wore whenever they were about to go up against the bad guys, especially when they were outnumbered. It was a predator's expression, cold, knowledgeable, deadly, and it rattled Hutch to have it turned on him. You're scary when you're angry, Hutch had said to him that night, before it happened, while they were still at the precinct doing their good-cop-bad-cop tap dance on a suspect. He'd meant it, too, but he realized now that Starsky angry was not at his scariest. This was his scariest. This cool, premeditated hunter. Starsky had planned this, planned it to the minute, and the smug, calculated expression on his face made Hutch think there was a lot more planned for him this night. He wasn't sure he would like the rest of it any better, either.
Through a perfectly delicious dinner, a chance meeting with a grateful mobster, killer cannoli, and a rough ride to true love, this is a truly yummy read, and a great way to start the month. FYI, this is also Flamingo's first ever Starsky and Hutch story, and according to her note on the story, she wasn't sure if she got the characters down well enough. She did, and I think it's kinda cool to look at how far the author has come since then. The story is funny and sexy, and I think you'll like it. And you'll be singing the song all day.
