Why this must be read:
Genre shows, like Star Trek or Xena, are no stranger to fics that employ this particular convention, but programs with a comparatively more...mundane focus, like Starsky & Hutch, *are*, which is why when someone finally does take this approach, it turns out to be surprisingly fun. In this story, Kaye dares to imagine just what might happen if Starsky & Hutch were ever to meet The Actors Who Play Them on Television. The curious dynamics amongst the newly-created pairings are a treat to watch play out, and the author includes numerous subtle nods to fans who know even the slightest bit about the actors' lives (which, in this fandom, is difficult *not* to do). It's fun, it's funny, and it sometimes makes you wonder just what the hell is going on, which, I think, is well within the rights of an RPF-AU story ;) Really, it's a tribute to four very special men who were and continue to be the impetus to so much imagining for the past 30 years and counting. All in all, a read that simply makes me smile.
Teaser:
In too much pain to protest, Starsky allowed himself to be carried the rest of the way down the hill and lifted into a waiting ambulance.
He felt someone jump in beside him and turned to thank his partner for coming with him, but it was not Hutch. It was the stranger. Joe. What the hell . . . ?
He searched the crowd that had gathered at the door for a familiar face. Any familiar face at this point. Finally, he saw the one he was looking for and croaked out a pathetic "Hutch. . .?"
David Soul looked up into the ambulance at his friend.
