Out of the Mists by The Blintz and Brit
Fandom: Starsky and Hutch
Pairing: Gen
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Zebra Three BLT
Why this must be read: For your midweek read, I present this lovely gem of a gen story. I must have Shootout on the brain, because like Monday's rec, this is post-Shootout, too. But with a twist. It's a long story... 16 chapters, but it's so good, you won't want to stop reading. To make a long story short, Hutch is undercover, infiltrating Vic Monte's gang, but Starksy's not at his side. And as we all know, "Me" with no "Thee" at his side is a recipe for disaster. And sure enough, things go as wrong as they can.
A snippet to entice you...
Two uniformed officers grappled with Hutch, forcing his arms behind his back to subdue him as he continued to rant. “Come on, buddy. Pal. Why couldn’t you have looked the other way, huh? Did you forget all the years of being partners, buddy? You forget the reason why I needed the money to begin with?”
For an instant, it was as if all the air had been sucked out of the small room as Starsky’s and Hutch’s eyes locked. It was, of course, a ruse—part of the dangerous game the two had been playing—but the pair had agreed to include for believability’s sake the fact that Hutch had taken a prolonged unpaid leave of absence during Starsky’s recuperation. Once Hutch had put the surviving hit man away for attempted murder and an assortment of other charges, he dedicated himself to his partner’s recovery, at no small financial sacrifice. While it wasn’t an issue between the two of them, Starsky still felt a genuine pang of guilt. The brief wounded flash in his eyes wasn’t an act as the two glared at each other.
It just gets better from there. You'll laugh, you'll cry. The banter between S&H is great, and there's lot of action. Read it. All sixteen chapters. It's pure gen... not a pre-slashy moment in sight. (Okay, maybe one, but I was wearing my slash glasses at the time, so...) Besides, it's Wednesday. You need something to get you through the rest of the week. Give it a try. You'll thank me when you're done.
