Outcome by Lamardeuse (NC-17)

Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lamardeuse
Author Website: Lamardeuse's Site

Why this must be read: She finally finished it!!! It's got everything... grown up Kiko and Molly, Post-Sweet Revenge PI's Starsky and Hutch, and a shared household. It seems Kiko's fallen in love, and he's looking to Starsky and Hutch for guidance. Not because they're womanizers (who've never really gotten to keep any girl they've been with) and he wants some pointers. Noooo. Kiko's in love with a guy, and he thinks S&H will understand and share their insight because he thinks they're together. Except they're not, not really, not yet, but Kiko's such a soft-hearted kid, they don't want to ruin his illusion. And they want to keep an eye on him, so some vulture doesn't pluck him out of the nest and ravish the poor innocent. And the fanfic cliche dies right there.

This is not just "we were pretending and fell in love for real". This is something far deeper. It's got love, romance, a murder case, a beautiful woman in distress, strange feelings of jealousy from a certain partner, and hot, hot, sex. Lamardeuse writes a beautiful Hutch. He's contemplative, angsty, and is so adorably sexy throughout this story that you can't help but love him. Coupled with her equally beautifully written Starsky - brash yet unsure, sexy, and seductive... what a combination. From the first kiss to the first time they get nekkid, this is a romp well worth curling up in your favorite chair for hours to finish.

Again, it's a long one, but it's Wednesday. You need something to get you through the rest of the week.

I agree LS. I can't rec this story enough. It's one of those "God, I wish I'd written this" kind of stories, if you're a writer.

The characterization is dead on for me. She makes the sex sexy and omg how rare is this, In CHARACTER. I could weep for joy.

Regardless of the fandom, I haven't read a [livejournal.com profile] lamardeuse story yet that isn't lovely, insightful and totally engaging. Her Sentinel fiction is definitely worth giving up some of your precious time for, too.

And, look! I'm going to use one her icons too. Multi-talented, it's just not fair! Is there anything this woman can't do?

I loved this so much -- and I'm glad I didn't wait for her to finish it, because it was well worth the wait for each chapter. She is definitely very talented, and I can't wait to get around to reading more of her stories.

I have so many bookmarked, though, and I'm still not even halfway through the Red Light Trilogy yet! ;) Am enjoying it immensely, though, so thanks for pointing that one out, too!

Oh, ack! *slaps forehead* So many things bookmarked, and so little time spent sleeping, that I missed the change of month and driver. Am so sorry about that -- I really need the connection between eyes and memory checking carefully. :P Serious brain fart there. *blushes and shuffles off muttering to self*

Yay!

Oh, yay, she finished it! I haven't been keeping up on my reading lately, but I'll definitely bookmark this one. I had read the first several chapters, and wow, I definitely want to know what happens. I know [livejournal.com profile] lamardeuse from the A-Team fandom, and she's a great writer.
