Confessor by Elizabeth Lowry (PG-13)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author Website: http://www.angelfire.com/planet/elizabethlowrysh/
Why this must be read: This story can be read as either non-slash, as the author has said, or slash, as I and others have always read it as such. They are comfortable in each other's spaces (perhaps even sharing the same space) and they're together. But the outside world, the scary prospect of this hidden plague, is pushing in on them.
"I was checking on some lab work Brody was doing for us." Starsky shifted in
his chair.
"No." Everything in Hutch began to pound. He could feel his heart thudding
painfully against his chestwall. "No. You were checking on a blood test. Your blood
test. You were talking to Dr. Murphy." He tried to slow the rhythms in his body. They
continued to beat out a cadence he was unable to control. "I know. I did it, too."
All those blood transfusions, all those lovers, all that risky behavior...it comes crashing down on them. Fear and doubt and confusion, it's a time when nobody can give you guarantees of tomorrow.

Re: Stories
Both very good fics. Being gay/bi-sexual cops in the 80's must have been very difficult. It got me thinking about going through that time and how very few of the gay men I knew then are still alive. I'd forgotten what a terrible time it was.
