The Happiest Halloween by Kaye Austen Michaels (No rating, I'll say...PG)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky & Hutch
Length: 66k
Author on LJ: NA
Author Website: Kaye Austen Michaels at Twin Dolphin Productions
Why this must be read:
Kaye Austen Michaels is one of those authors, that when a new reader enters this wonderful, vintage fandom and asks, "Where do I start in thirty years of fic?", she is one of the authors instantly recced. Her stories are a joy to read, deep without drowning you, with the ability to focus in on a character's thoughts and feelings as if they were your own.
This story is the first of three in a series called the "Holidays Of Our Lives" series, all of which can be found on the page cited above. Here, Hutch is beginning to realize the depth of his feelings for Starsky, and is jealous of Lyza, a woman with whom Starsky is spending a lot of his time.
Being Halloween, they end up at a Halloween party of sorts, just Hutch and Starsky, after a dinner that had been only for the two of them, which pleases Hutch immensely, giving him hope.
A haunted hike had Starsky practically bouncing with enthusiasm. I told myself to get a grip.
"You're going to voluntarily walk around in 'haunted' woods at night armed only with a flashlight? Who are you?"
"I'm whoever you want me to be." The look on his face was anything but teasing. I half-swallowed my tongue and turned away. I wasn't certain of anything right now and I could not make the mistake of assuming too many givens.
