Living a Different Lie by Verlaine (PG)
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: pre-slash Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: her stories can be found here on the Me & Thee archive
Why this must be read:
Despite the impact of the episode Death in a Different Place on the fandom, John Blaine himself remains an enigmatic character who gets very little direct attention in S&H fanfic. Verlaine not only helps fill the void with Living a Different Lie, she creates a convincing voice of a troubled man scarred by the internalized prejudices of his time, place and profession. As we watch a younger Starsky struggle with a dangerous realization through the eyes of his worried mentor, the contrast between the two characters’ choices of how to live reveals volumes about them both.
