Why this must be read:

What a gorgeous story! I can't believe this is the author's first, and only, foray into Starsky and Hutch. Just when you think this story is going to dive into the predictable, it wrenches you into an entirely new emotional place:

If you ask Starsky, he believes Simard is right. Ordering him to live, sounds like the kind of thing Hutch would do. But, Starsky doesn't really talk about it. Neither does Hutch. They both seem reluctant to look at this event too closely. It wasn't the first time, not by a long shot, that they'd skated right up to the edge of the abyss and looked down. But, it was the first time one of them had actually lost his footing.

So, they've grown up a little more. They know the price of the gift now, and they've felt the terror of free-fall. They both know the clock will run out someday. Hopefully, not for a long time. But it will. So, they'd just as soon not tamper with the works, because for now, it's running just fine.

Besides, when you're the stuff that legends are made of, you don't think about falling.

You just fly.


I SO hope this author got the feedback he/she deserved so we can get more of this beautiful writing...
