Hi, I'm Callisto, and I'm stepping up to drive Starsky and Hutch this month for my pal An. So without further ado...

Why this must be read: Because it’s the best re-emergence of Kira fic EVER. Dobey is wounded and out of action for a while, Kira has made captain, so guess who steps up to fill Dobey’s shoes while he’s out sick? Yup, and Starsky and Hutch ain't too happy about it either..
Kaye writes sparks flying like nobody else, and both guys are wonderfully sharp and entertaining as they handle being forced to work with her again. There's a case, there's bickering and banter, some hurt/comfort, and a delightful bit of Dobey's backstory, too. This is one of those stories which unfolds like a well-written episode.

"Hutch — I'm not gonna do it. She can't fire me."
"Yes, Starsky, that's the whole point. She can fire you."
"Whose side are you on?"
"That's low — I don't care how mad you are."
"Well, quit defending her."
"I'm not — and quit yelling at me."
"I'm not."
"Yes, you are — God, look what's she's done to us, already."
Starsky sat his plate on the table. "Damn her, I lost my appetite — she just makes me crazy, ya know?"
"Which is exactly what she's trying to do. Now can you calm down enough to help me figure out what to do, or are you just going to curse her name all night?"
"Curse her name all night." Starsky picked up his plate and took a big bite out of his sandwich. "Buckin bips," he muttered between bites.
