Why this must be read: First of all, it’s by Susan.

That’s not enough? Then read it for Hutch’s vigil over comatose Starsky, a desperate and heart-breaking time. But while in many ways, he spends it alone, there are a multitude of other people helping him hang on.

And forty days? While it may or may not be intended, you only gotta read the Bible, Koran and the Torah to see the possible symbolism of that period of time.

Ah, my all time favourite Susan fic. I love it all; the vigil, the sweep of it, Which is at once incredibly intimate, and yet which feels like a very real life with all those characters around them. And the story reading that Hutch does to stay sane... Just a beautifully told tale.

it's a great story and Susan St. James would wish she could write this . . .
but I do believe the writer in question is Susan James (unless, perhaps there has been a papal proclamation I am not aware of . . . eh Susan?!)

You're right, of course. I don't know where my brain was. Perhaps I was already designing the prayer card?

All fixed now. Sorry Susan!

I do that to her name all the time, lol. I think it's the "centre" part of her name that triggers the ST sound. :)

I read this a LONG time ago and it so deserved a read now - it was almost like new for me again. Thank you for this rec, it's wonderful. :)

Thanks so much. I love when an older story gets a new life thanks to these recs.
