Why this must be read:

Well, for one thing, it must be read because Nik wrote it. I love her style, very clean, no excess baggage. Fantastic pacing, warm humorous style, and I can hear and see the guys perfectly. This is a first time story, which I'm always a sucker for, and one of the few post-Sweet Revenge stories I really enjoy. I really like the way we come to find out what's in Starsky's head, and of course in Hutch's through Starsky's eyes. I read it when it was first published in Blood and Destiny (kassidyrae's fab zine), and then read it twice again today while trying to decide what passage to use for an excerpt. That proved difficult because there are so many lovely moments in this. I copped out by offering up the opening paragraph, but I think I've made the right choice, because it will pull you in just as easily and as thoroughly as it pulled me in. Over and over.

Don’t let anybody tell you dying doesn’t change your life. Anybody saying that has never died, so shoot ’em first and then ask questions. If they still have the same way of looking at things, ask their surgeon why he didn’t take their head out of their ass while he was operating on the bullet wounds.

I’m careful what I eat. When I drink, it’s water, soda, tea and sometimes coffee, nothing stronger. I work out more than back in the days when a pair of pretty legs capped off by jogging shorts was my motivation to start running. Now I swim instead, and all it takes to get me going is the chance to prove to Hutch that I can do it.

I’m different. Not the man I used to be.

But Hutch still loves me.

Thanks for reccing this. Very nice. So "Starsky & Hutch". You can hear their voices easily in this story.

It's such a relief when The Voices In My Head sound like the guys to the reader too :D

Especially when that reader is you - Hugs!

Nik never wastes a word... she's awesome and this story proves it.

Your FB is a huge boost. You've really helped reawaken my urge to write.

Hugs!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you... for bolstering my flagging muse. Time to dust off my keyboard, I think, and get back into writing mode.

Can I suggest you edit to add that the story is under Nicola, not Nik or TrueBrit? It'd help people find it quicker. :-) I wasn't quite sure and wasted some time finding it.

Good suggestion. I changed (and embelished). Hope others didn't go astray.

You can call me Sybil - but I'm truly sorry for the confusion.

Well, life would be easier if all of us went by a single pen name all the time, you know, archives, mailing lists, LJ ... but who ever thinks of that when first wading into online fandom? I know I didn't!

But your story was well worth doing a little searching. :-)

I confuse myself whenever I revisit sites I haven't spent much time at in a while. "Where am I? Who am I?" - that kind of thing.

"But your story was well worth doing a little searching"
Thank you so much! And "Phew" that you didn't find your effort to be an utter waste of your time :D

And if the fact that I just accidentally responded to you with one of my other fannish pseudonyms doesn't entirely prove my point, I don't know what would. Sheesh ...

ROFL!

I hope so too!

off to self-flagellate some more ...Oooh, but it hurts so good...

Entirely my fault - I underwent a huge identity crisis during my fledgling web days :D

Sorry 'bout that...
