Why this must be read:
This story by Keri should be read because it is amazing, but also because it's the sequel to Turbulences. This is how the author herself describes this story:

August 1979: While gang war terrorizes the city, Starsky and Hutch are struggling to come to terms with the aftermath of Starsky's shooting by the goons hired by Gunther. Major Hutch Angst, Starsky Angst, Committed Relationship, Hutch H/C, Starsky H/C, SR Recovery, Other

They came out of nowhere. A silent menace, creeping from the shadows, faces in darkness, guns drawn.

He smiled grimly as he watched them emerge. He'd been waiting for hours, knowing they would come. Once, they'd taken him by surprise, but not anymore.

He gripped his gun with determination. "Hold it!" he yelled and jumped out. Crouched and took aim. "Stop right there!"

The shadowy figures froze.

"Drop your weapons!" he shouted. The gun in his hand was steady, a firm ally in his battle to keep his partner safe. "Back away. Slowly."

One by one, they withdrew into the night, silent as ghosts, leaving no traces. Like mist dissolved in darkness.

Safe. He'd be safe now. Until the next time. There was always a next time.

Because they were everywhere. In the shadows. In the light of day. In basements and alleys. In cars and restaurants. At police stations and hospitals. They could be anywhere, they could be anyone.

He had to be vigilant, constantly alert. If he relaxed his guard for only an instant, they'd get past him and finish what they'd started.

Wearily, Hutch put the gun down. For tonight, at least, they'd both be safe
