Curve by Salieri ( PG-13)

Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: None
Length: 1,350~
Author on LJ: troyswann
Author Website: Starsky and Hutch Fanfiction (gen)

Why this must be read: Because it’s a gorgeous one-shot of Hutch coming apart and his partner there to catch him at the end of a horrific case. Vivid, lyrical prose brings every detail of the scene in Hutch’s apartment to life, and perfectly captures the intensity of how these two keep each other sane.

Starsky's here because he's seen it coming. With Hutch, the shouting and the frustration and the negotiation and the demanding that goes on in Dobey's office, that's surface, chop on the ocean, smoothed by a slow stroke of wind, and the water doesn't remember the next day when the storm's past. There's more there, though, underneath where the currents are, and it doesn't come out in the shouting in Dobey's office. It all comes out in the curve of his back.
