Gazing by Lamardeuse (NC-17)

Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ: lamardeuse
Author Website: When the world is puddle wonderful
Why this must be read: Well, because it's lamardeuse, that's why. I know I recced her earlier this month, but I came across this beauty in my saved files, and had to share.

This sweet story was inspired by "Gazing", which is a beautiful drawing by Lorraine Brevig.(There is a link for the art in the notes of the story.) Beautiful art deserves a beautiful story, and this fits the bill. It's post Starsky vs. Hutch, and by the author's admission, it just popped into her head. Things this good should pop into her head more often, I think.

Gazing is angsty. It's also funny. It's about friendship, love and lust. It's about wanting, needing, and realizations. And it's one of the best stories I've ever read. My pitiful synopsis can't do it justice, so here's a tiny bit to get you going:

Those blue, blue eyes were on him, gazing their fill, giving him every damned look he’d ever received from them and a few he’d never seen before all rolled up together. It was beautiful, and overwhelming, and terrifying. It was his whole life distilled into one pure, crystalline moment, and Hutch knew the second Starsky recognized the same look in his eyes.


Now, go on... Read the rest. Enjoy.

omg, this is so beautiful! And the art - awesome. There are very few people who have done so well sketching our heros.

I agree, things this beautiful should pop more often in Lamardeuse's head.
