Why this must be read:

Last week I brought you a story by Paula Wilshe, one of the S&H writers who deeply supported and encouraged new writers. So, in honor of her memory, I now bring you...a new writer to the fandom.

[livejournal.com profile] listen_r has only recently begun writing Starsky & Hutch, with only two stories and a drabble currently as I write this rec. But wow – she doesn't come in quietly. I highly encourage you to check her out.

This story is about Starsky and a new outlook on who he loves and how Hutch gets caught up in an IA sting when he was just being a friend. However, there's more to Hutch's life than Starsky really knows.

It's slash, and it really shows how deeply these two feel for one another, no matter what. And their trademark humor doesn't falter at all. *G*

Why this must be read:

Since there's no new episode of show tonight, I figured I would rec something a little longer than the last couple things I've recced.

Blood Ties is a meaty, angsty casefile set between "Family Remains" and "Criss Angel Is a Douchebag," where Sam and Dean are hunting nonstop so they don't have to talk about anything, like, say, Dean's confession at the end of "Family Remains."

Sam finds what he thinks is a vampire hunt, but he should know that things are never what they appear to be, and the hunt spins wildly out of control.

"Vampires?" he asks.

Sam shrugs, trying to project nonchalance. "The nest would have to be huge. The range – the pattern I've been tracking … I just don't know, man."

Dean pulls himself to his full height, zips the bag back up, and slides the drawer shut with an air of finality. "Slashing her'd be a good way to cover their tracks," he says. "Cops think serial killer, figure the girl's a drug addict, and bingo. No vamp hunt."

Sam nods, because he thought the same thing a month ago, but there's no reason to bring up that particular fact.

"Ready to head out?" Sam asks.

Dean nods, and they head for the exit smoothly. Sam is glad to be moving to the next step of the hunt; the visceral feel of tracking, the thrill of the chase, and the cold, unforgiving finality of vigilante justice.

It's the part his brother used to live and breathe, the reason he used to always say he was born for the job. It's the part that used to make Dean, Dean - while Sam was just Sam, and never understood it.

Sam feels the hunger curling deep inside, circling the cool dark place where he hides his destiny. He understands it now.


This story is worth reading to see just how much both Sam and Dean are twisted up and broken inside by everything that's happened, and how even as they're drifting further and further apart, they're still attempting to do what's best for each other, even when it has dire consequences. Plus, the casefile is really interesting and suspenseful. This is a gripping, emotionally draining read.
