Why this must be read:

Well, I'm off for a long weekend, so I'm leaving you with a nice tale to hold you until I get back.

Parking by Lilith Faire was the first Starsky/Hutch I ever read. It made me laugh, and blush, too (hey, I said I was new to S&H!), so I thought I'd share.


Starsky's been doing a bit of thinking:

Have you ever noticed how sometimes the most innocent conversations can suddenly turn interesting?


Bored and restless on a stakeout, Starksy decides to travel back to the days when necking in the backseat was the thing to do. Ever curious about Hutch's background, Starsky tries to coax him into telling about the first time he went "parking" with a girl.

Hutch won't talk, being a well-raised "don't kiss and tell" sort of guy. This leaves HotPants!Starsky to break the ice with his tale of touching a girl "outside her sweater" at Lookout Point, but to his surprise, Hutch isn't in the mood to hear the gory details.

Why not?

Well, to his everlasting shame and embarrassment, poor Hutch has never been parking. You know, getting busy in the backseat, steaming up the windows, testing the shocks, etc. Wow.

In this Universe, it seems Hutch was a bit of a dork in high school (he took his sister to the prom), and didn't really blossom until college. God knows Vanessa (rest her soul) was hardly the type to let someone feel her up in the backseat of the old Chevy, a point Starsky agrees with wholeheartedly. (Silly her... Blondie could feel me up in the backseat of a hearse if he wanted to...but I digress) Alas, our sweet Hutch is basically a backseat virgin.

Of course, Starsky is intrigued:

Have you ever noticed how sometimes you can look at a person and suddenly see someone totally different?

Well, let me tell you, I suddenly saw a whole different side of one Kenneth Hutchinson. It just didn't seem right that the poor boy had been deprived of a traditional rite of passage. It became crystal clear to me that I would have to do something about this gross injustice.

So, in typical Starsky fashion, he sets out to right a wrong. He'll just get him a date. Right?

Wrong.

Poor Starsky:

But if I was going to be perfectly honest with myself, I *sure* as hell didn't want to set him up on a date with a woman in order for him to experience back seat Nirvana.

Of course you don't, dear. And yes, it's seduction time, folks.

What follows is a sweet, hot, funny story with just the right touch of playful banter and realism (witness the classic "parking" mishap scene) that made me wish this was an actual episode. Or maybe that was my slashy mind at work again, lobbying for The Slash Channel. (Slashy TV shows viewed by slashers ala MST3K). Lilith Faire deserves an Fanfiction Emmy nomination for this one.

I always loved the Parking Trilogy. Pavlov's Dog is probably my favorite because it's the transitional one and also because how can you not love a story where Hutch says "My problem is that I can't get into Starsky's car anymore without getting an erection." Hehehe, poor Hutch.

You can't imagine how much your encouragement means to me!

I did like Pavlov's Response best, but Parking is my sentimental favorite for Hutch's ""So, I'm wondering.... Is this the part where I give you a blow job or what?"

I laughed my head off.

That sounds very interesting. But where are the links? :( Link me. I want to read it! *g*

Re: Link you?

Well, hell. The whole "Live Journal" thing is so foreign to me, my 8 year old did the HTML for me.
Yes, sad I know. So when you say "link me" I draw a blank. (And my kid is at school... I could pull her out of class to show me, but I don't thin Social Services would appreciate it.)

I did press "link" on your comment, but in any case, go here to start:

Sorry 'bout that!

That's excellent. Could you just do the following for me?

Click to edit your post (the pencil at the top of the post). And replace the last three lines with the following

<a href="http://meandthee.shahrazad.net/display.php?storyid=186">Parking by Lilith</a>
<a href="http://meandthee.shahrazad.net/display.php?storyid=187">Pavlov's Response</a> the sequel
<a href="http://meandthee.shahrazad.net/display.php?storyid=188">Playing It to the Edge</a> is the end

Thanks! Am off to read. :)

Thanks... Now maybe my kid can get to sleep at a decent hour since you've solved my main posting problem. I owe you a chocolate covered Hutch and a Butterscotch Starsky.

LS, gleefully ready to rec some more!

What a great rec
