None of These and Nothing Else by ultrapsychobrat (NC17)

Hi ladies and gentlemen I'm Tat, I have returned to our beloved van. Sorry for starting so late but it couldn't be helped...

Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Length: 41.781 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ultrapsychobrat
Author Website: AO3 , Daveandkensdiner

Why this must be read:

When I decided that I wanted another ride in the crack van I had a fairy good idea for the stories that I wanted to rec including this amazing mini series that I planned to start with and another one with this specific author.

But then some days ago I discovered this story and I was stunned. Flamingo has written once that she loves Suzan Lovett's stories because she can write tension. Well this story cam match and up Suzan's story as nothing else before. I was biting my nails the whole story and it is a biggggg one. But it was so worth it. This story is raw and honest, real as fanfiction is rarely so real with the most delightful oc ever and one of my favorite Hutch's scenes near the end of all time.

EXCERPT:

Adams stopped a few feet into the room and glanced about him, checking his surroundings as a cop always did. “How've you been, Dave?” he asked without looking at him.

“What's wrong?” Starsky demanded quietly.

Adams turned at the question, meeting his eyes once more. The brown eyes bore through him, reaching beneath the surface, seeking out his soul.

“How much do you love Ken?”

The totally unexpected question short-circuited his thought processes. He stared blankly into the hooded eyes. “What?” he managed to murmur at last.

“He's in trouble and he needs your help.”

Fear leaped in his heart, snapping his mind alert again. He bounded away from the door, grasping at Adams' arm with hard fingers. “Where's Hutch? What kind of trouble?” He gave Adams a sharp shake of impatience. “Tell me!” “It's not that kind of trouble, Dave. He's not hurt. This'll be easier if you'll sit down and listen for a while.”

Starsky peered at the man closely for almost a full minute before releasing his arm and sitting down in the nearest chair. A sinking feeling of disaster weighted his body. Ever since Hutch had run out last evening, he'd been waiting for something terrible to happen. And Adams was going to tell him what it was. With a desperate kind of homesickness, he wished for Hutch, here, the way it used to be—laughing, bickering, warm and safe. He didn't want to hear what Adams had to say, wanted to deny that there was anything wrong.

“Dave, are you listening?”

He nodded, folding his arms tightly across his chest, and focused his attention on the other man.

Adams sat on the edge of the coffee table, facing him. “Do you know what Gino's is? Over on Foothill?”

Starsky sorted through his memory, but drew a blank. He shook his head.

“It's a gay pick-up joint. Ken...Hutch went there tonight.”

Good rec Tat!

This looks really interesting but the coding is messing with my friend's page. Would you mind stripping it out?

Seconded. The big font makes my friends page look all wonky.

To OP: Could you also try to post the links - i.e. to the fanfic - like this? Like it's done in all the other posts to the community? It'd look cleaner this way and I'd appreciate it a lot. :-)

Hey. you may not have noticed, but your font size is very small. Could you please, in the future, make sure that you don't have font size set? That would make sure that it's readable to us. :)

I'm really so very sorry to bother you again, but now your font is positively tiny and I can't read it at all.

And what does shortsignedmmm mean? *blinks*

P.S.: If you need help with posting links, here's a little how-to: LJ FAQ

Tat's native language is Greek so she sometimes has a bit of trouble with translations. We'll try and give her a hand. :)

short sighted. I've known her for a while. She's a sweetie and a very enthusiastic fan.

Ah, the translations aren't the problem here at all, just the formatting. And hey, Europeans unite! (*is German herself*) But it's good to see she has good friends on LJ who support her. *smiles*

And thanks for clearing 'shortsigned' up - I'm deaf, so I wondered if that might be a new kind of signing... *laughs*

You're welcome! I've dropped her an email with a sample of the proper formatting so hopefully she'll fix those soon.

Take care!
