Change of Seasons by CC (R)
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Me and Thee Archive
Why this must be read:
Written for the Me & Thee Story Challenge Contest, in which writers were required to "Make Hutch Sneeze", CC's submission was voted first place, and with good reason. Set some time post-SR, the path that Starsky and Hutch's relationship was already headed down naturally advances, but they've got to deal with a tiny roadblock that Hutch's body keeps throwing in their way, first. The boys are funny and sweet and sexy, and sound like themselves while doing it, and manage to make falling in love look like the best thing in the world.
Which, of course, it is.
Excerpt:
"You apologized."
"What's that?"
Hutch shifted forward on the sofa and turned. "Earlier. You apologized for kissing me."
"I thought we established that you kissed me." Starsky shrugged. "Not that it matters."
"But that's just it! Why doesn't it matter? Shouldn't you be pissed off or outraged or something? I would've been."
Starsky shrugged again. "I don't know about that. You see, Hutch, I've been watching us."
"What does that mean?"
"It means what I said -- I've been watching us these past few months. You know, how we act when we're together. You cook a meal for me and you light candles. I wake up earlier than any man oughta to go fishing with you, even though I don't really want to. You know, stuff like that." Starsky paused, appearing to wait for a response, but since Hutch had no idea where Starsky was going with this, he remained quiet. "What I realized recently was that we're in a relationship, only we don't know it."
Hutch choked. "A relationship?"
"Yeah. Dating, courting -- whatever you want to call it."
"Courting?"
Starsky's hand landed on Hutch's shoulder. "Are you having trouble keeping up, Hutch? You keep repeating what I'm saying. Maybe we should take you by the ER, just to be safe."
