Vinculum by Ellis Murdock (PG)

Let's go for a kids theme this week, shall we? Nieces, nephews, and kids in general.

Fandom: STARSKY/HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky and Hutch

Why this must be read: This is set after Starsky got shot in Sweet Revenge. Hutch's niece and nephew are visiting and it allows for some truths to be explored. You know what they say, out of the mouths of babes. Scars heal, but questions remain. Starsky died, but why did he come back? Why didn't he give up?

With a soft smile, Starsky spun Marie-Ghislaine around to face Hutch, and whispered, "That's easy. You see that tall, blond guy sittin' over there? Funny blue shirt?"

Giggles. "Uncle Ken?"

"The one and only. He wouldn't let me. Even when I got really mad, or sad…or scared. Even when I didn't think I could do it, and I was sick to death of trying. No matter how bad it got, he was always there, telling me to hang on; promising me we could, and that it would get better. And I knew--" he spun her back around to face him, "—I knew that I had to get better for him. So he wouldn't be so sad. Make any sense?"

Starsky and Hutch love one another, the love just looks different on the outside.
