Serve and Protect by Lucy (R)
Fandom: Starsky/Hutch
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Why this must be read: This is from the zine Dangerous Lives, Dangerous Visions 2 and is my favorite story from that zine. It brings back an old adversary in the form of Matt Coyle (from the episode Iron Mike). When they met Coyle, back when they were younger, he gave them a warning. "You'll come to me. When you're older and more tired . . . when the streets have worn you down. Just like Iron Mike did." Neither of them thought that would ever be true, but time has a way of changing things. But the question is, when an act is done purely out of love, is it wrong? How can you condemn a man's actions when they were done in order to protect you? That's the question the boys have to face.
"Starsky, no, I never tried to make you look like a fool. I did it for you. To get us off the streets and keep you safe."
The anger came back like a door slamming. "No, don't you tell me that. I don't want to know that . . . to hear that you did it for me. You're a liar . . . hell, I'm a liar. You even made Dobey a liar. I don't deserve this position. It's all based on a lie." Starsky ran both hands through his hair. "I'll have to resign. Shit, I don't know if I'll even have a job when they get a load of this, and neither will you. How could you do this? Did you flip out and I never noticed?"
The choices we make, the battles we fight, the world is not black and white. It's all about living in the gray areas.
