Why this must be read:
Last week I brought you a story by Paula Wilshe, one of the S&H writers who deeply supported and encouraged new writers. So, in honor of her memory, I now bring you...a new writer to the fandom.
listen_r has only recently begun writing Starsky & Hutch, with only two stories and a drabble currently as I write this rec. But wow – she doesn't come in quietly. I highly encourage you to check her out.
This story is about Starsky and a new outlook on who he loves and how Hutch gets caught up in an IA sting when he was just being a friend. However, there's more to Hutch's life than Starsky really knows.
It's slash, and it really shows how deeply these two feel for one another, no matter what. And their trademark humor doesn't falter at all. *G*
Starsky met Hutch’s gaze. “Hutch, when that memo shows up in everybody’s box tomorrow morning, everyone in all of Metro is going to think it means you’re gay.”
“Some of them might,” Hutch conceded. “I don’t think everyone will.”
“Why doesn’t that bother you?”
“Why does it bother you?”
“Because you’re taking the heat for me!” Starsky exploded. “I’m the one who’s having some kind of crazy mid-life sex identity crisis! I’m the one who was dumb enough to visit a gay bar!”
“I was the one dumb enough to park out in front of the gay bar and let everyone see me go in,” Hutch pointed out. “And don’t tell me you haven’t gotten your share of heat from the guys at Metro over the last few days. Just yesterday I saw an amusing limerick featuring both our names in the restroom.”
“Yeah, but I deserve the heat! You’re just the good guy who got caught in the crossfire. Wait. There’s a limerick about us?”
“Yeah, but it’s not very good,” Hutch said seriously. “I mean, ‘Hutch’ really doesn’t rhyme with ‘putz.’”
“Ah, that’s terrible,” Starsky agreed. “But that’s my point! You shouldn’t have to be reading your name in the bathroom stalls in the first place.”
“Starsky, if this had all come down on your head, and not on mine, I would still be reading my name in the bathroom stalls! That’s what I’m saying! What happens to you happens to me, and vice versa. Besides, you’re wrong about deserving it. I deserve it just as much as you do, if not more.”
