Four People Who Knew and One Who Didn’t by Kaye (PG)
Yep, I’m pushing Kaye again, but it's not my fault she excels at writing “and now for something completely different” fic. In fact, I’d be reccing three of her stories this month, but she still hasn’t archived the other one I want everyone to read (grumble, grumble).
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch

Author Website: her slash is stored here, while her gen is parked here.
Why this must be read:
In this variation of a ‘five things’ fic, Kaye provides strong, clear voices to little heard from characters in the fandom, such as Edith Dobey and Minnie. By bringing these background characters into the foreground, we gain a richer sense of the social environment in which Starsky and Hutch live, making the oft-times surreal Bay City feel more like a real place. Furthermore, as each of these family members, friends, or co-workers are embedded in their own lives, they provide a unique point-of-view on the evolving relationship between the lead characters.
What’s more, unlike other ‘My God, S & H are doing the backseat mambo in the Torino!’ fics, the revelations within this story are not limited to Starsky and Hutch’s sex lives. By setting each section at a different point of time, Kaye allows us to observe a full range of Starsky and Hutch’s interactions with each other. All of this, along with glimpses into the past that should be canon, make the fun pay-off at the end taste that much sweeter.
