Headline News by Rebelcat (G)

There's a theme of newspaper reports that I'm going for in some of my recs this week. And they're gen, too;)

Fandom: STARSKY/HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky and Hutch

Why this must be read: First of all, it's older Starsky and Hutch. That's my one true love right there. Secondly, it's gen that's true to canon. In that I mean, it portrays the guys at the level of comfort and intimacy that we saw on screen. A reporter did a human interest story about Starsky and Hutch and might have gotten the wrong impression about the pair. Yes, they live together and act like an old married couple, but they're not together as a couple. The outside world isn't in on that little tidbit of truth, so the reporter calls it like he sees it. When the article comes out, and Starsky gets to reading it, the miscommunication comes to light.

"They would not specify exactly what year they became life partners.”

“What the hell?” muttered Starsky, his smile disappearing.

Hutch discovered a sudden fascination with the contents of his coffee mug.


“We were partners before we were partners, if you get my drift,” says Dave with a twinkle in his eye.

Ken interrupts him. “Oh, not this story again!”

Dave leans close to me, and in an exaggerated whisper says, “I was the only one who could put up with him then, too.”

Ken points his index finger at Dave. “I’ll have you know, you’re not the easiest person to live with!”


This is a wonderful glimpse into their futures, still going at each other and loving each other as only they can. Whether they have sex or not, the love is still the same.
