Night Vision by Thayln (PG-13)
I'm going to start the January SH recs with a selection of stories about darkness.
Fandom: STARSKY/HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Why this must be read: Hutch has become overwhelmed with the horrors of his job. Dead children, all looking back at him during his waking hours, invading his dreams during his sleeping hours. He's lost, searching, needing some security in a world that's given him pain. He needs something to hold onto and know that it will never go away because everything always goes away.
“I never gave up, Starsk. I swear. I never gave up, but it didn’t matter. She died anyway. You died anyway, and there wasn’t anything I could do about any of it. I can’t do anything about it, now either. I can’t protect you, hell, I can’t protect anyone, but I can’t stop trying and I’m tired, Starsk. I’m so tired of the taste of blood.”
He needs to feel safe again because he's losing himself in the middle of all this pain. Starsky's there to help, trying to pull Hutch back from the edge, but it's a long struggle and there's no easy answers. They'll survive, they have to, but how long will it take for the shadows to go away?
