No Storms Come by Ashkevran-Angel (approx PG)


Hmm, this tour is venturing farther afield than I realized. Another foray beyond the city limits, but well worth the extra miles.

Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: none
Length: 4,838 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ashkevran
Author Website: Ashkevran-Angel at the Starsky and Hutch Archive
Why this must be read:

In the wake of Starsky’s Lady, Hutch takes Starsky away from the city to an isolated cabin up North, in the hopes that his mourning partner can find some peace there. But peace is hard to come by for both men, as the grief over Terri’s death brings with it other, even more painful emotions. Angel uses beautiful, evocative imagery even as she wrings you out with yummy and oh so angsty passages like this one:
The roar of crashing waves was a feral siren’s song, haunting, deceiving, melodic – calling and lifting with demonic force to crash and tumble in monochromatic freefall.

Hutch listened to a refrain rise from the water and echo across mountains and clouds to the horizon. The chilling breeze amplified the water’s voice, until, to him, it became Starsky’s anthem, his forlorn cry of anguish.

It was too hurtful for words, too deep for tears.

Return to me - Return to me - Return to me

Oh, gah. Go see how it all plays out!

No Storms Come

I think Angel is a very good writer. She's fairly new to S&H and I'm pleased how quickly she's got the characterizations down on how I see the boys. Thanks, HBB!

Kat - Thank you for your words of encouragement and your comment. Playing with the boys, in stories - either my own or reading other writers or seeing videos - is such a fun treat. Thank you also for your ongoing kindness and friendship in our S&H world. :-)
